The Modern Wife and the Mon
ey Question.

Usually it is the shadow OF mon
ey that brings the first partial
eclipse to the honeymoon, and uh,
less the problem is rightly handled
the eclipse may become total
The modern wife cannot be always
asking for money and retain either
her happiness or her self-respect'
The husband could not keep his
business going if he did not have
a pay day for his employees or II
he was careless about settling his
bills. He cannot expect to keep
his house going without IA finan-
cial arrangement that will give 1t
regularity and security. 1t is
passing strange that this mat
ter should be constant difficulty
in millions of homes, but it is
hardship which wives are supposed
to bear uncomplainingly. She Is
ii wise woman who rebels early and
secures her rights. for she will
never be a successful wife until
she has her part of the income
without days of grace or discounts.
This is important: it is vital. I'm
less it is made plain and duly fixed
all her other purposes and aspira-
tions will be forever handicapped.
From the April Delineator.

The New Candy Girl.

"The way We escape the contin-

BY our salespeople,' says the man
ager of large candy shop, is to
place no restriction on them what
ever. Indeed, when We find a new
girl has an unusually large sweet
tooth We are apt to tell her or let
her know in some way that she is at
liberty TO help herself. She takes
advantage of this license for q Pc
riod of time, ranging from two days
to a week, but she generally gets
enough in a shorter period than the
latter and thenceforth lets the can
DIV severely alone. Sometimes, in
deed. the odor Of the fresh candy de-
stroys all appetite for it much as

Tee In Nvssis.

Russians are very careful about
the way their tea is made. They
make it in = porcelain or earthen
teapot and drink it from tumblers
Of glass so annealed that there is
NO danger Of the hot liquid breaking
them. Their tea is always made Of
water at the first boiling, an impor-
tant matter. The tea brewed in the
teapot is made quite strong. but the
tea glasses are but one-third filed
with this tea and then filed up with
boiling water. This gives a delicate,
fine favored cup of tea not strong
enough to have a rank taste.
