WIFE
SCORED BY SPEAKER
Economist Declares Woman
Who Spends More Than lust
Share Is Unfair.

A wife who spends more than twice
as much for clothes as does her hus-
band Is taking an unfair advantage
of the expenditure OF household
funds, according to Prof. Benjamin
r. Andrews, of Columbia University,
who gave a talk on the family budget
before the Housekeepers' Alliance, At
1900 Twentieth street, yesterday az
ternoon. d.
In making q plea for employment
of q family budget, Prof. Andrews
not only told specifically how to make
budgets according to certain yearly
wages, but pointed out definite ways
OF saving, as a result of expending
money according to those budgets.

He scored the wife who spends
more than her fair amount Of the
income for clothes, and drew UP
scales of average expenditure, by
which such wrongs could be over

His material was complied from re-
suits Of q series OF Investigated year
ly incomes, which have been com
pared and used as the basis for form

Attention was called repeatedly to
the experiment made in New York re-

Speaks OF Savings.
In addition to the discussion Of the

the treatment of 1t. He pointed out
that the wife should take ths same
advantage Of the credit offered by
banks, by virtue of her deposited saw
ings, as does the husband, in his busi-
ness.
The common sense OF borrowing
money and paying for q note with the
yearly wage, instead of drawing out
savings was clearly shown.
Almost everyone in the. audience
took notes. and flled out the type
budgets which he offered as models
