The
AMERICAN MAN
Letters From Wives Show He
Not Such a Paragon.

s the American man SO generous
after all?
Stop look and listen! There are
at present running in womens
magazines exactly three write and tell
me all about it, competitions on the
subject of the wifely allowance. and
do you know, my friends, some Of the
Weeps and walls would put to shame
even the most backward of European
countries?
Some of the wives have to steal from
the trousers pockets of their husbands.
others have to falsify bills, in order to
get car fare and pin money.
ANY number of women are not taken
into their husbands confidence as re
CARDS business matters, and you can
hardly blame these ladies for not want
ing to keep accounts, can you?
Nearly all the women have to ask for
money, and it would be amusing were
it not pathetic to read the methods
they advise for extracting the coin
Never ask a man before dinner"
seems to be one rule all agree upon.
and ''put your arms around his neck"
is another tried and true recipe.
Ugh! How can a woman bear to
coax and fondle a man who is all the
time thinking whether he will give her
S1.98 or $2.14 when what she needs is
nearer $40 and he would gleefully
spend the ten himself in a little dinner
with some pals?
The women who have nothing to
complain of are, as a rule, those who
have settled the allowance question
before marriage.
Have square talk with your fiance,
my dear girl, and, while it may en-
tighten you as to his disposition, it will
certainly prevent tears and heartaches.
In France the parents are wise
enough to regulate questions OF in
come, ETC., in the marriage contract,
and. while some of us sheer at that
'.cold blooded" arrangement, it is the
sneer of ignorance. As matters are at
present in this country, if you get
generous man you are well provided
for, otherwise no. A woman can do
the work Of four servants, including
the raising of a family, and not even
get the wages of an inexperienced
maid.
Sir Charles Maclaren introduced re-
Gently into the English parliament
bill to provide salaries for wives who
devote their whole time to the care of
the home and the children. This is a
step in the right direction. I'm sure it
is needed in this country just as much
as over. there, and were it passed there
would be less talk of women going to
work and crowding out the men.
Evidently some hustling has to be
done to the latter If they won't pro-
vide for their own.

FOOD SUPPLY is STILL
UP AMONG The STARS.
Americas Sees No Difference
in Prices.

Americas people addicted to the eat
ing habit find little comfort in the al
legged reduction in the price of hams,
flour and other abdominal ammunition.
So if anybody is banking on buging a
new automobile out of the savings
from the grocer's and butchers ac-
counts they had better go slow. The
dispatches from different parts of the
country showing a bear market in
beef and the same good turn in groc-
cries appears to be news to the Amer
icus sellers as a general thing. True,
some commodities are off little, but
this is laid to the customary Quotations
of the market, and there is no guaran-
tee that next week, if an average were
struck, we would be amy better eff
than if the Democratic Donkey had
not kicked the G. o. P. elephant to
Halleyis comet, or the lid had not set
tied over Teddy.
