Some few persons still cherish the
idea that all women are absolutely
helpless in business matters and that
they are so lacking in financial ability
that they cannot safely be trusted to
handle money.
Mr.. Black belonged to this class. He
had been in the habit of paying all the
household bills at the end of each
month, and his wife, though allowed
unlimited credit, had never had an al
lowance. One day the Blacks hap
pened to be passing the comparatively
new building in which the bank was
situated.

Mrs. Black, II have actually never

that's the case guess I'd better give
you check this month and let you
pay the bills. Do you think you :
know how to cash it,"
Mrs. Black received the check,
which. by the way, happened to be an
unusually large one that month.
That evening Mr.. Black asked. not
without sarcasm, II she had succeeded
In indorsing it properly.
'Oh. yes!' returned Mrs. Black
cheerfully.
"How many bills did you pay?"
'None. 1t seemed pity to waste all
