like the accounting division, is al es-

about the white man and the Indian

the game in accordance with the white
mans proposition. l won't repeat the
story, but you will recollect that the
white man got all the turkeys. Some
business partnerships and a great
many domestic partnerships are
aged in this way, and that sort of thing
usually ends in a dissolution. If you

and sealed in the presence Of the rep

Responsibility makes character In q
woman just as it does In a man. Let
her have a fixed sum every month to
pay the household expenses as well as
to provide for her personal require

when she needs 1t. She'll come to you
for more money when she needs 1t, but
II the amount is rightly fixed she will
seldom have to do that. She will take

was about five years ago that Miss
Burke set London swelldom and the

but each should ask for and receive the

But o ask how can this theory be
put into practical application. By APP
plying ordinary business principles
principles which. l regret to say. are
very seldom applied to domestic affairs

the form of a fixed allowance. The
first method places her in the position
Of a mendlcant or a pensioner; the sec
ond improves her standing. but makes
her relation to him something in the
nature Of a salaried employee. While
the latter Is far the better plan of the
two, giving the wife. as 1t does. a GER
tain independence impossible with the
former, 1t is not, / believe, the true
relation, which should be n of equal
partnership, as / have said.
From a Business View.
II you were going into business with
another man as your partner, each hav-
ing the same interest, it is probable
that you would divide the duties Of
management so as to give each a GER
tain definite responsibility. One of you
perhaps would have charge of the
finances and accounting. the other Of
the buying and selling. Each in his re-
spective sphere would be supreme, but
the profits would be yours jointly, to
be held in bulk. ~reinvested for your
joint interest or equally divided, as
you might individually elect.
With proper modification the very
same system may be applied to the do
nestle partnership, the husband hold
ing the position of senior, the wife that
of junior partner. The husbands de-
partment Is his business; the wife's Is
the home. The n produces revenue;

was something fair to see. "Give your
wives an allowance, boys" he would
say. "Let 'em have money Of their
own to spend. My wife has had an
allowance ever since our marriage, and
[ tell you 1t pays" Well. after awhile
ye were astonished to hear n day
that Tommy's wife had sued him for
iivorce on the ground Of nonmainte-
aarce, and In the proceedings which
followed It developed that his much
boosted allowance was the sum OF 81
1 week, out of which Mrs. Tucker was
required to clothe herself. He doesn't

A Very Important Question.
This question of an allowance Is q
pretty serious one and the disposition
sf the woman in the case enters large
" into its consideration. Some women
never get beyond childhood mentally
and prefer to be treated like children
al their lives. They know nothing
about their husbands incomes and care
less If they keep them literally sup
Piled with the luxuries their childish
natures demand. With such women
here is only one course practicable,
and that is the ancient and time hon
Bred one which is based on the theory
hat all women are irresponsible be-
ngs and are to be considered property
IF a higher sort, to be fed and clothed
and perhaps regarded with a degree Of
Affection, but not to be treated as men,
tai equals or to be given any active
part in domestic administration except
Is upper servants. The great trouble
is that there are so many wives who
are treated in this manner who do not
seserve to be. The human dolls are, in
fact, a mighty small minority Of wo-
mankind. The supposed limitations Of
the sex have been fixed In the mascu-
line mind by the customs and preju-
iices Of centuries, and it is pretty hard
to change its attitude. but the change

vide your salary equally. II your part
OF the expense Is three-ifths or three
fourths, reserve that proportion OF your
income for yourself. That is the plan
I have followed for many years. and 1t
has worked well.
Another plan which has its advan-
tages and which is based. like the 9th
er. on the partnership idea is to place
your salary each week or each month,

ceptacle at home. Each of you should
have free and, unquestioned access TO
This fund, and whatever is left can be
deposited in the bank from time TO
time. A memorandum book should be
kept with the money. and all withdraw
ais should be properly noted. The adj
vantage of this system Is its simplicity.
Its disadvantages arise from the dan
gers of loss by theft or otherwise and
from the fact that 1t lessons the ind
vidual responsibility and the timulus
to individual saving when compared
with the first mentioned plan. But it's
a good scheme nevertheless and vastly
superior to the mendicant or allowance
methods.
Don't EnsIave Yourself.
1 never believed in the plan Of giving
all ones salary to ones wife any more
than l believe it right for the husband
to keep all of 1t himself. In the first
place. 1t throws upon her a burden
that properly belongs to him, In part at
least, and, in the second place. 1t makes
1t necessary for him to ask her for
what he needs, and too often he may
be required to explain his needs In de-
tail before he gets 1t. Some men are so
weak that they need restraint of this
kind, and for such this method Is COM
mendable, but for a man with average
backbone it's humillating to have to
ask his wife for money even II he has
voluntarily placed himself in durance.
