Women Now HandIinq The Money.


 American business men would do well to consider the fact that to an unprecedented extent the purchasing power of the British Isles has passed into the hands of the women, writes Consul Francis J. Dyer, Swansea. Wales, at present on duty at Depart ment of State, Washington. Wives of men who have enlisted are receiving all, or a good part, of their hnsbands' pay, as well as the allowances made in many eases by their employers The latter amounts to about one-half of their regular pay. With these funds the women are better supplied with money, to spend in such manner as they see it, than they ever have been before. One result, landlords say, is that they are receiving their rents more regularly. Another result. no doubt, is that the money is being spent in a different way than it was when the men chiefly or wholly di-s rected its expenditure.
