MORE ADVICE ON
HOW TO LIVE on
s|S A WEEK
Women Who Have Been There
Believe it Can Be Done and
Done Easily if Husband and
Wife Cooperate,

The contest for seats az the per-
formancp Of paid in Full" last night
proved highly interesting to the read
ers OF the Morning journal and the
problem of how two Young people may
life on SIS per week is being widely
discussed. Following are two contri-
buttons which arrived too late for the
contest and which will be interesting
reading Just as advice TO newly we'd
ded couples:
BY l.. III. W.
considering we live on $1S per week
ana are buying an extensive piece Of
property ant Of il; keep q horse and
buggy: send out the bulk of our laun-
dry; contribute TO the church, keep
up certain dues; give presents, live
wen and put little money in the
bank weekly besides paying $40 per
week on the above mentioned proper
tv ought to allow me to say a few
words on this subject | forgot to
say my husband is an inveterate
smoker. and, understand me, doesn't
owe q bill longer than week, either.
But the question. Can a Man save
money on SIS per week 2" is silly
one. Ask your parents what their
income was when they married and I'll
wager II was away under SO per day.
Besides, three-fourths of the earth's
population lives upon less. Very few
men earn SO per day or over the larg-
est proportion receive $40 or there
abouts
If a man steals he is a coward to
p,It the blame on his wife. He would
steal if he received $40 per day. All
he wants Is the excuse and chance.
True, the question of money be-
tween a married couple is serious
But if man marries a fool woman
and lets her do him up he is no man
al all. and ii wouldn't matter if it
was wife, friend or foe he would al,
ways be the loser.
If a man is the right sort he will
confide in his wife and let her know
Just what he has and how things
stand. The bulk of the trouble is de-
ception. IL man doles out pit
tance and his wife, who, in ignorance
OF his many affairs would gloat to
do him up SO as to get even: for she
supposes he has more than perhaps
he really possesses.
If she is the right sort she viii
have her eve ON the far future and
try to economize and try to pull to-
sether. for by so doing they will
reach their goal some day. But 1t is
all up hill work and often the crest
is never reached where one or the
ether pulls in opposite directions.
Household economy should be
more fashionable or more of study
than it is. as it is one OF the most
vital points in the problem OF life.
How do We accomplish such feats
YOU ask? The art Of buying is our
secret. my friends. The success Of d |
business house depends largely upon |
its sagacious purchasing agent SO it !
will be with you.
Most all We do in life is habit; |
therefore If we cultivate the habit OF !
saving it Is Just as interesting, yes, |
more so, than the worries and chagrin |
of the spendthrift.
If any of the Doubling Thomases'' /
wish me to prove these assertions let |
them address me through the Morn |
ing Journal and | will do so.
So. my friends, If the question of |
living on SIS per week is retarding |
your matrimonial voyage just take |
my advice; put love in one eye and |
Good Common Sense. which is Ecnoo- |
my. in the other; and hand in hand !
start out on that beautiful companion
ship of life which Is old, oh. SO old.
yet new, ever new.
