SIDE TALKS
Too Much Thrift
BIZ RUTH CAMERON

There are great many ways
wife can help her husband.
Frugality and thrift are two Of the
most press-agented. And yet there
are times when too much thrift, too
much of the Martha spirit, that
anxiousness over many thlnss-are d
let and hindrance; times when cour-
ape and faith would be more helpful.
We were talking the other day OF
2 Young business man who is very
hard working, very Intelligent and
vet does not seem to get far.
II think his wife is partly to
blame" said the Authorman.
How can you say that?" said the
Authorman's wife, "why she works
terribly hard and she is 50 econom-
ical!"
A Wife Who Had to Have Money
Might Have Helped.
"She could work less hard and
have a larger vision said the Au-
thorman II think it's her thrift and
her habit of counting pennies that
has helped hold him back. He fig
ures too small on the work he does.
He doesn't ever dare take chances.
He's somewhat that way and she
makes him more so. If he had mar
ried a wife who was used to having
money and thinking in big figures he
might be forced to succeed"
The Authorman's wife looked en-
tirely unconvinced. It Is q dangerous
philosophy to put UP to women and
yet there are women who need it.
Daring, the willingness to take a

uttered the sneering remark concern

wishes. But / contented myself with
saying caustically:
why, of course 1t is! DR.. Braith-
waite has given great responsibility
into her hands, and she is part Of
the war service. She Is in no way
her own mistress. and those who love
her ought to realize this and make
it easier for her"

left us. I saw by his eyes as he did
SO that his resentment against Kath-

troubled me not at all. I turned back
to her and felt a little glow in my
heart at the warmth of gratitude in
her eyes.

THANK you so much for that,
Madge" she whispered. "Oh, my dear,
1 do need you SO! 1 have so much

had to do any hard work, and yet
she did one of the bravest things I
know for her husband. He is a writ
err. When they came home from
their honeymoon several things they
had counted on failed them and they
had only enough money to pay the
rent for summer cottage they were
hiring by the season. She opened
bills with all the tradesmen, hired
maid and went calmly ahead living

toned to live. 1T will be all right"

he could do his work properly and

pennies but she might not have been

and appearance of serenity which
