WOMAN'S
1t May Extend Beyond the Confines,
of the Household Terr-
ritOry. -l&&

If you organize a village improves
ment society be sure to includes the
m in it, and give them an oppor-
tunity to carry out some of their ideas.
A woman has a keen eye for the beau-
tiful, and her knowledge of color-com-
binations will be of great, beneftin the
arrangement of Towering plants. But
her usefulness will not be confined to,
the aesthetic features of the under
taking. Women can be as-practical as
men are. In Green Bay, Wis, certain.
lines of street work have been put into,
the hands of a committee of PROMINENT
women with most satisfactoryresults.
They not only plan, and plan wisely,
but they execute and execute thor.
oughly, says Lippihcott's Magazine.
1t is a most excellent planjto inter-
est the children in this work also. They
will bring a great; deal of enthusiasm
to the performance. of their share of it,
and take pride in living up to the re-
sponsibilities placed upon them. It
will be good training for them: Bear
in mind this fact-that the greatest
measure of success is almost always
the result of the, widest, heartiest CO.
operation. Get everybody Interested,
if possible, and keep them Interested
by giving them something to do. Make
active members of every one in the or
ganizati0n.

THE WIFE'S ALLOWANCE.
I'm the MatI.idn OulinT PartnershiD She
Should Share in the
Income,

Should the wife have an allowance, a
definite sum set apart out of the family
income for herself. or should she have
to ask her husband, as if it were char
ity, for money with which to buy her
hats, gloves, ribbons and the thousand
and one needful t%rifles? Men are apt
to think that because women do not
do tile work for which they (the men)
are paid, they have no part in earning
it, says Woman's Home Companion,
and are sooner or later inclined to ask:
"Where is the quarter I gave YOU yes
terday?"
Marriage is a partnership in a special
sense, in which the man is generally
the bread-winner; but it by no means
follows that the woman is merely an
ornament or a doll arrayed in pretty
dresses or housegowns. In the ideal
home the wife bears her share of the
burdens that must come, it would
seem; to all of us. She keeps the house
more or less deliberately, according to
the circumstances. If she has one serv-
ant or more, her burdens take other
forms than as if she did her own work.
If she has children, there is the re spon-
sibility of caring for them and training
them. The mothers influence upon
her children for good or evil is very
great. If there are guests at the home.
the matter of entertainment largely
devolves upon the wife. Her duties are
mu%ltifarious, and when she has done
all, she is expected O,6e a COMPANION
for her husband, and to be interested
in the things in which he is interested.
All this is just as much the contribu-
ton to the household happiness and
comfort as the money the husband
brings home every week. In business
matters the wife should be treated like
a business partner; she should have an
allowance, and should not have a false
sentiment about askingforit.
