 If girls would only exercise common
 sense when discussing the future with
 prospective partners and dispose of money
 matters before marriage. says an ex-
 change they would escape a world of dis
 comfort. It is mystery why any woman
 should feel hesitation in finding out on
 what sum she is expected to dress and
 pay her little personal expenses. If she
 has a father, 1t is his place to learn what
 income his future son-in-law can com
 mand; how much he has in savings and
 the amount of his debts The lack of
 father places this duty upon mothers
 shoulders, and when girl has to de-
 eide her own future she should do it in
 as business-like a manner as she would
 discuss wedding details.
 A wife who is ignorant of her hus-
 bands financial affairs occupies diff
 cult position She never knows If sne
 is justified in any expense even for her
 home. If her husband has not begun lis
 Gew life by placing her above the hu-
 initiation of asking for money for her
 needs, she Is bound to wear herself out
 in dread of refusal of such requests. Each
 passing year increases the discomfort of
 her position, and if hard times descend
 upon them 1t will find her unequal to the
 struggle. It is not sordid in the least to
 discuss money matters before marriage why, money is as much necessity 3s
 food since it is needed for the purchase
 of that and every other thing we need.
 The following is published with pleas ure. as request of Mrs. J. H. Phillips, Federation editor
 May be permitted a final word, before this page is discontinued for the sum- mer in regard to the loan scholarship established two years ago at the Uni versity of Alabama by the federation: am moved to speak by the discovery that some of the clubs are asking and needing information about it. The amount necessary for the maintenance of th's scholarship is $150 a year. This sum does
 not pay all the expenses of the benenc- iary, but 1t nearly meets her necessary
 university charges, except the special fees in certain courses, and 1t makes her college education possible.
 The establishment of the scholarship will be valid only if the individual clubs do their share in contributing to It, as there is no other source from wnlch the funds can be drawn. For several years vet, until the scholarship shall nave De- come self -perpetuating through the re- 1 nayment of the money loaned, IL Will os | necessary to raise $150 at each meeting 1 of the federation.
