spend that much money without
giving any more account of it to
her husband than cook or a nurse
maid to whom he pays an equal
amount would give him. But she
rarely gets even chat paltry sum to
do with as she pleases, and this is
what makes the financial situation
SO often acute between husband
and Wife.
The man who insists upon his
wife keeping household accounts
is right, She will be a better and
"a more careful manager for doing
it, and it is but just that he should
know how his partner is managing
her side of the business. But the
wife has right to private allow
