Anything and everything is possible.

Need for Companionship.

There is wise old German saying
in solitude" Men and women need
congenial companionship, both for the
sake Of health and happiness. Just as
your lungs, after using up all the oxy-
gen in close room, need to be filled
with fresh, out-of-door air, SO your
minds need contact with other minds
to get new ideas. There is such Il
thing as mental as well as physical
hunger. Hcrders on the cattle ranches
of the West frequently become mad
from the isolation they are forced to
endure. Women ON lonely farms and
in small villages grow morbid and
mildly insane. and people do not guess
that the cause is want of companion
ship. 1t is for this reason that a wom-
ans work at home is always more try
ing than that of her husband, who
goes to his Office, sees new faces and
has the friction that is produced by
meeting other people. Even the farm
er has more intercourse with his neigh
Dor at market or at the village grocery
than his wife, who may not see any one
outside Of her own family for weeks.
1t Is a great mistake for young people
to isolate themselves. Even IL their
tastes lead them to a quiet life, they
should make it a point to cultivate a
few agreeable friends.
The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1907-10-24

Personally, says a clever man in a

money to my cook, who Is q careful

but am in better health. l have even
done the housekeeping myself.
My wife and 1 consider the allow
ance for food, etc, as trust fund (no
matter who has it,, to be expended for
a certain purpose in the home, the vic
tualing of the home, not for powder
and paint, nor for cigarettes or pipes,
but for yictuaing the home.
1t is certainly the wife's duty, IL she
is doing the housekeeping, to expend
she can do with less allowance in that
direction, or put it in the rainy-day
fund. 1t is not fair for anybody con-
cerned that the wife should cut down
supplies or use poorer food in order to
save money for other, and perhaps pri-
vate, purposes other than for the pur-
poses the money was obtained. That
would be misrepresentation of the funds
at her disposal.
The wife has her allowance for pin

band does not claim her surplus OF
that, If any. Why should the wife
claim the SurDluS money from store
