blame the Gomen married to stipgy
men who do these things. Any wife
who makes her husband comfort
able home, who bears aud rears his
children, who keeps up his social
position aud does all the multi
farious things demanded of the
modern woman who is at the head
Of an establishment. earns not only
her board and clothes, but money
in her hand, and If her husband re-
fuses to give IT to her she is per
fectly justified IN taking her own
any way she can get it.
But the wife's lack Of money is
not always the result Of penur
iouspess on the part of her hus
band, Oftener than not it is the
outcome of poverty, of an ipcome
that is not sufficient to meet the
demands made upon it IN this day
of high cost OF living. The man
does The best he can. He is as gen
erous as possible to his wife, aud
she knows and appreciates it, and
her desire TO make money is the
out flowing of her love for him.
She wants to ease the burden that
be bears.
IT is hard thing for a woman
to look at ber husband and see
him working beyond his strength
TO support his family. 1t is A cruel
thing TO bave little child that
needs some surgical operation TO
correct some physical defect. and
not to have the money to have it
done, or TO have n talented boy OF

to in life. So IT. is no wonder that
multitudcs Of married women are
asking eagerly what they can do to
earn little money in the hour or
two that they have at their disposal
while they watch the pot boil or the
baby is asleep.
OF course they should have this
time to rest and PLAY in. but as the
poor know only too well. the ease
of mind that little money gives
is more rcfrcshmeut than the relax
alton of ihe body ever is.
In WAY this problem of making
pin money is solved for tho couu-
try women by her chickens and
eggs aud butter and bees. In the
south most successful effort along
this line has been made by organ

what arc called tomato clubs. In
