ON THE QUESTION OF WIVES
DRESS ALLOWANCE.


Years go few women were permit
ted any money Of their own, and a GER
tain sum, very often out of their own
good settlement, was doled out to them
by their lords and masters. But we
have changed all this, and as rule,
wives have the spending of their own
money whether inherited or earned.
Few are put in the embarrassing posi-
ton of having to ask humbly for
enough pocket money to dress and ap-
pear like their fellows. An antenuptial
arrangement as to what the spending
should be is apt to be more satisfactory
to the woman than any plans made aft
erward, and certainly the happiest peO-
pie are those who know exactly what
their joint income is and are prepared
to spend it to the best advantage. OF
late this question has cropped up and
has been answered by men in various
positions. A lawyer considers that no
man should marry until he has an as
sured income. and a man owes it to the
girl he marries to do all in his power
to free her from financial worries. A
newly married man was of opinion that
whether a husband can make an al
lowance for his wife depends upon his
income. and it is quite possible to mar
~ on small one and be happy. Many
a woman who is a good manager is in
posal of the entire income. Women
who are not intrusted with the spend
ing of money. if left widows. are apt to
suffer from their ignorance in the most
trivial business matters. A woman's
testimony to the question is that GER
tain allowance should be given to her
to spend exactly she likes without
question. for many a proud woman
knows how CALLING it is to ask for her
own private expenses. A business wo-
mans view is worth considering. An
allowance. she considers, spurs on
woman to live within her means and to
know the value of money A man
should not give his wife unlimited
credit at shops and then be indignant
at her spending. Girls should have an
allowance early before they marry to
teach them how to spend when they in
their turn become mistresses of house
holds.

There is much of the Spartan soul in

in fact, national happening. 1t is held
at Tokyo, the capital and 10000 mem
bers sometimes attend. Rev. J. W.
Doughty, an American mfssionary, was
present at one of the conventions and
describes wildly the picturesque blend
ing of art, patriotism and delicate po-
likeness that characterizes Jap public
functions. Portraits of the emperor
and empress, splendidly draped in
silks, adorned the platform. and when
the members came in they bowed pro-
foundly not only to the presiding prince
and princess, but also to these portraits
The speeches might serve as an exam
pie to us. Not one was over a minute
and a half long. After the speeches
there was served to each guest at this
unique Red Cross meeting a lunch por-
ton such only dainty Japanese cult
nary art can prepare. With each por-
ton was a bottle of sake, the rice wine
of Japan.
After luncheon came sham battle
which afforded opportunity for Red
Cross hospital practice on the sham
wounded. After that a brass band
played the national anthem, and ev-
erybody 'rahed for the emperor, and so
the meeting closed.
