Mrs. A. c. Lent.
Two married people can live on
eighteen a week. The way in which
they live will depend a great deal on
their judgment and fitness for their
home. I think of a home as busi-
ness and the man and wife as two
partners trying to run their business.
A business firm without capital Is
liable to be a failure, and so is a home.
Both partners must have capital. That
required ny the husband should be
cash with which to buy the furniture.
That required bv the wife should be
good Judgment the ability to keep the
machinery of the household running
and the desire TO do all she can 70
make home pleasant. II the wife Is
good cook and can set a good table
with little cost: il she can do her own
sewing; if she can make old things
look new for a few cents and littie
work: If she can make something
useful out of small things, then the
saving viii amount to q great many
dollars In a year. OF course, the
husband viii have to do his part. He
cannot have an expensive habit. TO
take third or half OF his wages and
he will have to help plan the man
agement of the expenses. a family /
living on eighteen a week must live
according to their station in life. They
cannct have lu%uries and hire help
The woman must do her own work. |
she must attend 10 her household |
duties as strictly as a business man
does his business. The wife has the
controlling interest in the home. and |
If she neglects her duties the home /
will be a failure If she is prepared !
TO make a home she will live within |
the limits of a reasonable income |
"How much can l save2' should be
the motto of both husband and wife. |
They should know what the expenses
are at the end of every week. If they
find they are too high this week, they
should cut them down next week |
Whore the wages are eighteen dollars /
week. | suggest the following al
lowance for the home: Seven dol !
lars for eatables, three dollars for
rent, two dollars for fuei ana tne re-
maindar for clothing. reading matter
and pleasure. At least one dollar OF
this remainder should be put In the
bank on interest.
In closing. will say that two people
trying 10 live on eighteen dollars
week and have home. without capi-
tai. will have hard struggle; or try
ing to live In luxury VIII tind II I'M
possible: but two people. being fitted /
for living in a common home, can
live on eighteen dollars a week and
have a pleasant and comfortable
home
Note-Have had the experience of :
living on eighteen week and less,
and know II can he done.
