life narrative If only for the moral.

chief counsel to the worlds fair at q
salary Of $25,000. His wife, leader
of society, was president Of the board
of lady managers, at $4,000 a year.
He owned one of the handsomest resi-
dences in the fashionable suburbs. He
delivered lectures to young men on
commercial integrity. In short, he was

laughing softly to herself.
Several months passed by. One day
the mail brought her a letter thinner
than usual. Her cheeks flushed hotly,
as she read 1t, and her eyes grew dark
with anger. Without rejecting upon
hasty decision, her fingers tapped out
her answer.
'Jack-Your letter received. Since

In spite of their flashing, the brown
eyes were wet with tears, but with set
lips and steady hand she dropped the
little white envelope into the mail box.
The next morning the slender circlet
of pearls on her left hand was missing.
and for many weeks her smile was
rare indeed.
One day, late in December, when she
was rushed with work, she told the
girls she was going to work an extra
hour. For time she clicked away on
my white keys, but soon her fingers
began to move more slowly. Suddenly
with a great sob she buried her face
In her arms and the tears came nm

AS she sat there, crying bitterly, the

Next to love, the most important, Of
ten the most importunate, question be-
tween a man and his wife is money.
TO the young and romantic this may
seem sordid condition. Love, in their
view, means bon bons and long
stemmed American Beauties" Later
ON, when they learn that 1t also means
taxes and coal bills, shoes, pew rent
and groceries, they will see why 1t Is
that the most beautiful superstructure
must have firm financial foundation.
Then will come, or at least ought to
come, the question of an allowance for
the wife-a very modern question in
the opinion Of many, and foolish one
in the view of the old-fashioned and
conservative. 1t Is true that 1t Is raised
more often than it used to be. The
reason is that women's views of life,
especially Of married life, have ad-
vanced. Many were self-supporting
before marriage, and many more might
have been so If they chose. To them
the exchange Of financial freedom for
absolute dependence is not attractive.
They had the control of money before
marriage; they reasonably desire the
control Of at least little after mar
riage. TO men of sympathetic imag-
ination this question may never pre-
sent itself. They supply unasked not
merely the wifes known and expressed
needs, but, realizing their own fond
ness for a new tie or the occasional
entertainment Of friend at luncheon,
they appreciate woman's need 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
remember that married life is often
compared to a partnership. 1t is not
necessary 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. If he is worthy to be a men,
ber of the firm he will not take ad-
vantage Of his position, nor draw more
than the business will stand. The ne
cessity Of asking for every cent she
spends is humiliating to any woman
of sensibility. She want her allow
ance, and if she has it she will use
it, in most cases, wisely, and both she
and her husband will be happier.

A TYPENR|TER'S STORY.
SNNNNNNNN~-

JC1 when first came into the office,
right from the factory, with my
enamel black and shining and my
nickel trimmings untarnished! 1t was
late in the afternoon when 1 arrived
and the office was deserted. l was
rather lonely that first night, for l
missed the lively chatter to which l
had been accustomed, and the new oak
desk to which l was securely fastened
seemed somewhat unsociable.
The next morning l was abruptly
awakened by babel of glrlish voices
and soon one of the speakers sat down
at my desk and drew me out into the
light. When glanced rather fearfully
into her face l was reassured, for her
brown eyes were very pleasant and
kind, and l found the touch of her
hand light and practtced.
How fast those little fingers would
fly over my white keys, as my carriage
slipped back and forth over the sheets
of paper! l grew very fond of my lit
tie mistress, and knew she was proud
of me. Sometimes when thick pile of
letters lay on the desk waiting for an
answer, her fingers moved so swiftly.
yet unerringly, that l marveled at her
skill
l grew to understand her moods, inst
by the expression of her brown eyes
When she was happy they would laugh
so merrily; when she was angry thev
would fash with defiance: but when
she was sad they would hide under
her long, dark lashes, all the happv
light in them gone.
Every few days the mail brought her
"A letter, at sight Of which she would
suddenly grow quiet and thoughtful
and her face would take on n sweat

day as she furtively opened the cover
of her little enamel watch | caught n
glimpse of a mans face with eaoer

One day tall, athletic young fellow
