THE wIFE's ALLOWANCE.

American Women.

Next TO love, the most important, often
the most impOrtunate, question between
q man and his wife is money. To the
young and romantic this may seem =
sordid condition. Love, in their view,
means bOnbons and lOng-stemmed
American beauties" Later on, when
they learn that II also means taxes and
coal bills, shoes, pew rent and groceries.
they win see why II Is that the most
beautiful superstructure must have q
arm financial foundation.
Then viii come, or at least ought to
come, the question Of an allowance for
the Wife-a very modern question in the
opinion Of the many, and a foolish one
In the view Of the old-fashioned AID con-
sentative. II Is true that 1t is raised
more often than It used to be. The rea-
son Is that women's views Of life, espe-
cially Of married life, have advanced.
Many were self-suppOrting before mar
rage, and many more might have been
90 II they chose. To them the exchange
Of financial freedom for absolute de-
pendence Is not attractive. They had
the control Of money before marriage;
they reasonably desire the control Of at
least q little after marriage.
To men Of sympathetic imagination
this question may never present itself.
They supply unasked not merely the
wife's known and expressed needs, but,
realizing their own fondness for a new
tie or the occasional entertainment Of
friend at luncheon. they appreciate q
woman's heed Of funds for which she
need not account
The other type Of mantle type which
pays the regular bills and takes no
thought Of extraneOus Wants-should re-
member that married life Is often COM
pared to q partnership. It is not neces-
sary that both partners draw equal sums
from the profits Of the business, but even
the junior partner expects TO use his
small share as he pleases. II he is
worthy to be a member OF the firm he
viii not take advantage Of his position,
nor draw more than the business viii
stand.
The Youths Companion truthfuIly
says that the necessity Of asking for
every cent she spends is humiliating to
any woman Of sensibility. She wants
her allowance, as Burns said OF wealth:
Not for to hide It IN hedge, or for train

But for the glorious privilege Of being hide
pendent;

Jennie Morrison Placed In Reforma.
tory at Helena.
If in their power, the authorities at
Butte are determined to break UP the
partnership between Jennie Morrison,
the girl tramp, and the fellow who has
been travelling with her.
It will be remembered that when
the couple were arrested here the
girl was attired in boys clothes and
they claimed to be brothers. Each
was armed with a revolver and they
were given Jail sentences for carry
ing concealed weapons. Before they
could be released the sheriff Of Sill
yer Bow arrived and took them back
to Butte, where a charge Of burglary
was pending against them. The re-
volver the girl had when arrested
was one she stole from a house where
she had been befriended after her re-
lease from the Butte Jail. For the
theft of this she was wanted" while
the man was held as an accomplish.
Instead of burglary, it turned out that
no more serious offense than petty
larceny could be successfully main
tanned against the girl. To this she
pleaded guilty and was sentenced to
10 days in Jail.
The man, who gave his name as
Edward Grant, was locked up on gen
eral principles. He secured his re-
lease through habeas corpus proceed
| ings, but was rearrested for vagrancy
At this he was very indignant, claim
ing that he was a brass moulder and
looking for work.. The plea failed
and he was given the limit last week
80 days in the county pail.
Last Saturday the girls sentence
expired. On an order from the county
attorney she was taken to Helena and
placed in the Home of the Good Shep
herd, a reformatory institution where
it is hoped she may be reformed ant
weaned from her life of vagabondagt
and her infatuation for the rasca
with whom she has been roaming
about the country.
