The Married Woman's Allowance
By Frederic J. Haskin

A Chicago judge has just rendered
an important decision. A man had
brought suit against his wife upon the
ground of desertion. The evidence
showed that the woman, who had
been a we'll paid stenographer before
her marriage, had returned to her
work because her pride was hurt by
having to ask her husband for money
continually and by having to account
for every penny expended.
The judge dismissed the case and
ordered the man, who was in pros
porous circumstances, to make his
wife a regular monthly allowance for
her own personal use.
Wife Not a Slave
"The evidence shows that the wife
was capable woman accustomed to
the handling of money" said this wise
judge. 1T is not the judgment of the
court that a married woman should
stand in the position of an unpaid
servant or slave to her husband. Her
labor in the administration of the
home entities her to reasonable
compensation which is her just due.
1t should be regarded as an honor
able wage for service rendered and
she should be accountable to no one
for its expenditure"
How much the woman suffrage in
fluence in Illinois is responsible for
this decision cannot be ascertained
but with the increasing political
rights of women, their economic in
dependence is regarded as having been
strengthened. 1t is held by its advo-
Gates that the definite allowance for
married women is the best If not the
only means by which their indepen-
dence may be secured. A California
womens club has this year been study
ing the allowance question as the
chief subject of it's department of
economies.
Should Get 10 Per Cent.
The study was based upon the
proposition that each married woman

The House of the Seven Gables is a

the sunlight Frightening the old

Much of the furniture is that original to

! "Thank Offering"
Box

A woman who has faith in Provi-
dence keeps what she calls her thank
Offering box. Into this goes through
the year, from n Thanksgiving to the
middle Of the following November, a
sum Of money for every accident that
is escaped, calamity averted or special
joy.
These offerings are not confined to
her own escapes, but each time some
member of her family hobs up from
some threatened woe into the box goes
the money offering of thanks to Provi-
dence.
Not the same amount is given each
time and rarely large sums, for the
woman is not rich, but a nice little sum
is realized.
This is devoted to giving some n q
happy Thanksgiving day. 1t does not
always go into regular channels. AS
the woman says, the poor and hos
pitfalls are usually we'll cared for in
holiday seasons.
Sometimes a hOmesick girl in a
strange city is given car fare for the
thanksgiving gathering she would 9th
erwise miss; once a music lover was
given a season ticket to the symphony
concerts; again a doctors bill that had
worried a young st%enographer who had
her mother to support was quietly
paid.
In speaking Of her pretty custom the
owner Of the thank Offering box said.
"Never had l known what thankful
ness really meant until l started my
box and saw the JOY my thankfulness
brings to Others"
Such Il box, besides cultivating ones
bump Of gratitude and making others
equally grateful, affords great pleasure
and interest In the spending. 1t illus.
trates as few other things do the truth
Of the saying that it h more blessed to
give than to receive.
