Speaking of husbands who are too
well. let us say. too thrifty-a certain
Kansas City woman who has friends
in Topeka has devised a way to get
her hands on the pin money she feels
that she is entitled to and has to have.
Her scheme is accomplished by
means of teamwork between herself
and her groceryman, and it is not a
woman has known her grocer nearly
all her life. and so after her marriage,
when she found out that getting d dol
lar from husband was not unlike the
process of painful tooth extraction.
she took it up with Mr.. Grocer, and
put thru a deal. The woman early
discovered that Husband paid without
question. any bill that the groceryman
presented, even tho he baked at dress
makers and milliners' statements
The plan was that she would go to
the grocery when she needed money
order flour or sugar or grape nuts
anything that cost high. have il
charged but not delivered. There
upon the grocer would pay her out OF
the till the amount the goods came to
list it on the months statement, and
collect from the recreant husband.
1t worked well as it listened and
when the woman wanted to give q
luncheon and theater party dowr
town, she collected the price of it al
the grocery store. She also took out
sums on the same plan and made part
payments on her dressmakers' bills
cutting them down so low that hel
husband would pay the balance. never
knowing that it was not the f1l
amount of the cost.
A sure rule, it seems is this law
of a mans regard for his stomach
