The attempt of Mrs. Frederick X.
Bowles 10 show that couple should not
marry on less than $500 year. merely
proves, conclusively, that she hasn't
travelled, and has proved a dead failure
as a housekeeper. Mrs. Bowles may be
one OF the very best women in all the
world: but goodness does not always
carry with II the ability to make dollar
20 half as far as the average American
makes II go, and do first class work. Such
ability accompanies brain power.
The couple. unable to make both ends
meet on $500 a year and furnish all the
real necessary comforts OF life, lacks
economic talents, business ability and
good financial common sense, however
moral, upright and otherwise commend
able. The couple who commence on $500
a year, unless well assumed OF an equal
income for many years. Is making the
mistake of a lifetime; In fact. the couple
who begin on $500 instead OF $500 and
make II a point TO live within their in
come, Is the couple who WILL make the
better success in life. and into whose
door misery, want and woe. trouble and
financial disaster is less liable to intrude.
