WV VI INC matter, ana she found
herself swept bare of every penny
Each one of you can match this
story with another in your own
knowledge, and this is what makes
it so incomprehensible that the man
who is trying to protect his wife
doesn't also try to protect her from
her own ignorance about money.
How Can She?
OF course, men shrug their Shout
ders and say that women don't m-
derstand business. AS general
thing, that is true, but how should
woman understand anything that
she is never taught? Neither do
men understand how to crochet and
do battenburg stitch embroidery.
but that is no indication that they
haven't intelligence enough to learn
how to DO crocheting and embrold-
cry if they had the proper instruc-
ton in them, and had the lmpor-
lance of learning how to do fancy
work impressed on their minds
That there is nothing so mysJe-
lfous or occult about ordinary finan-
cial affairs that woman can't
learn them is abundantly proved
by the fact that there are hundreds
of thousands Of clever and success
full business women in the country,
and that many of the most valued
employees in every commercial con-
Germ are women. Moreover in the
management of their own affairs
women are quite as successful as
men. The average woman can get
twice as much out of a dollar as a.
man can when it comes to shopping
and housekeeping.
There is no earthly excuse that
man can give for not trying to fit
his wife to handle whatever money
he leaves her when he dies, yet
practically no man does it. If you
Mr. Man, who read these lines.
should die tomorrow. what would
your wife know about your affairs
How competent would she be to
wind up your business or to carry
it on? How much would she know
about the best way to invest her
insurance money?
Wouldn't she have to absolutely
depend upon your partners. and
some lawyer. and trus; TO their
honesty and disintcres.eduass.
Wouldn't she be just as liable to 60
into rotten speculation as to make
a good investment with her money!
Does she even know the difference
between living on ones income and
spending ones capital? WouIdn.
she think that she was as rich as
Mr. Rockefeller and could afford
trip to Europe or an automobile II
your estate amounted, when settled
up, to $4,000 instead Of realizing
that she must be very economical
because she had only an income oil
$1,000 or $1,000 a year, and there
was no one to bring in any more
money?

Do YOU think a girl Of eighteen
should be absolutely without a boy
or girl friend? Especially a girl
friend?
My parents think | should not
have a chum. nor go anywhere with
any one except my mother
don't care about boy friends, but
am very lonesome for girl chum.
| see other girls having SO much
fun, while | have been made to
give up all my friends. What is
your opinion?
A LONESOME GIRL
NTHY. YOU poor little lonesome
w thing, some one ought to
take that mother of yours
and give her good, hard scold-
ing
Eighteen years old and not
friend in the world! What are
those parents of yours thinking of,
anyhow? Themselves no doubt,
their own mean, misery, selfish,
self centered selves.
Old AS Her Youngest.
| asked woman | know how
she kept so young the other day
and she said: I'm always just as
old as my youngest child. Just now
I'm four, I've been reading 'Puss
in Boots this afternoon and to-
morrow ] shall be dreadfully eX-
cited over Jack the Giant Killer"
Just the age of her youngest
oh =
foolish mother Of yours ought to
be just eighteen right now; eight
cen with her soft hair on top of
her head, just eighteen. her eyes
dancing with the JOY of living;
Just eighteen. with a heart full of
dreams; just eighteen, with half of
the great books in the world wait
ing to be read. all the flowers wait
ing TO be pulled. all the moonlight
of all the ages shining just for her
and the rest of the eighteen year
olds.
Eighteen, blessed age. Why in
the world doesn't that foolish moth
er of yours throw off the burden
of her years and be just eighteen
with you? Poor thing, she isn't half
alive, like an oyster at low tide,
herself, and trying to make you do
the same thing Why, what for?
Now, if | We're that mother Of
yours. I'd have house full of
friends for you. girl friends and boy
friends. and I'd make my house so
pleasant for them that my foolish
little parlor would be like regular
club house.
And I'd have a porch full of
comfy chairs, and vine or so
creeping mp between me and the
moonlight. and I'd have pitcher
Of lemonade handy. and. above All.
I'D have welcome like that in the
Old song, ~ welcome in the parlor

By DOROTHY DIX

NTERf man who loves his wife.
Z and who has a proper sense
of a mans responsibility to-
ward woman he has married and
who has given the best years of
her life to him, tries to safeguard
her future as well as he can.
He looks forward to time when
he may not be with her to work for
her and provide for her, and so he
settles upon her the home if he
can. or puts some good bonds and
stocks in her name, or he makes
heroic efforts and sacrifices to car
ry some insurance so that she may
not be penniless when he is dead
If the average husband should
tell the dark thought that haunts
him the most with it's terror it
would be the fear of his wife being
old and poor, in want, perhaps, of
even the common necessities of life,
and it is this specter of dread that
nerves him to redoubled effort in
his business, and that prompts him
to deny himself a thousand little
pleasures and luXuries that he
would enjoy.
This being true, it is amazing
that men bring all their efforts to
protect their wives to naught by
never teaching the women how to
take care of the money they have
made so many sacrifices to leave
them. Yet, the knowledge of how
to take care of money is just as
necessary as the possession of
money without the one YOU can
not have the other long.

tired and perhaps too anxious to
want to make new friends.
What does she live for, this
mother of yours? Work?
I've seen women like that, so busy
making new tablecloths and en-
bordering new doilies that no.
body ever gets a chance to use. so
busy putting up preserves and
making jams, and bottling pickles
that they cease to be women at all.
but just pickle watts with about as
much humanity as a ginger jar. and
a Chinese one at that.
| know a woman who's always
cleaning house. She's cleaning
house when it rains, and she cleans
house when the sun shines and
she cleans house when the fall
winds howl. and she cleans house
Wien the spring calls to. her 10
come out and forget that she has a
" house. And when she is dead and
in her narrow grave the only thing
any one on earth will be able to
say about her is "She was a good
house cleaner" And her bows hate
tie house that is so clean and her
girls are sullen and tired and bored
to death.
Across the street lives a woman
who cleans house just when she
positively has to and not till then
and she gives her heart and her soul
and her brains to her boys and girls
and lets the old house and the rugs
and the pictures be lonesome for all
of her.
And her children are known all
over the neighborhood as the great
est home lovers. She's a mother.
she isn't a housekeeper.
Maybe it's your father who won't
let you have a friend. Oh. ves'
There are such men right now in
this year of grace. | know one of
them myself, Just one, and he's
enough, thank you.

He's tired and he wants the house
quiet. He has business friends to

the alert TO please them. He doesn't
like this one, and he can't bear the

almost weep for joy. Fine father
he is isn't he?
I'd rather live in four room cot

room for the friends of those who
