long run, the simpest method is to
make a complete transfer Of the bank

signee, who will hold your bank &C
count, stating clearly that the money
is yours, and that the bank account
will be re-transferred on demand.
This is really important because, If
YOUR wife should die, this money
might, under circumstances, go to her
relatives. You want your wife to be
protected but you may have no desire
to benefit her relatives. You may,
further turn your bank account into
a joint account, subject to check or
draft by you or your wife. the fund in
case of death payable to the survivor,
The bank has forms for this But it
is wise in all these cases to have
written understanding showing that
the money is your money so that If
you come home to find your wife dead
you perhaps maimed--you can get
this money, or what is left, back
again, and use it,
The forms used by an bank usually
are for the banks protection rather
than your own, but the banks officials
will be glad to arrange the matter
in way suited to your own particu-
lar case Almost any lawyer In these
days. is very willing to assist you
without recompense. Remember this:
1t is far better to take chance on
your wife being a spendthrift, than it
is to arrange matters so that in case
of dire necessity she cannot get what
belongs to you and her to USE If
she realizes thoroughly that what you
hand her is all there u.s. and when that
is gone she will be dependent on
others, even the most careless spend
er is apt to change her methods. We
suggest, therefore, an unqualified
transfer of your funds to her. coupled

he had over $4,000 He put $4,000 Of
this in savings bank account and
the balance in checking account.
Inside of few months he was on his
way to France Just before he sailed,
he drew and signed a multitude of
checks on both banks, all to the or

each successive check dated one
month later than its predecessor. He
figured that 500 a month would keep
his wife and child very comfortably,
and allow margin. He didn't want
to hand her the $4,000 for fear some
one would get it away from her, or
she would use it for some unwise
venture. And he felt that inside of
forty.fve months surely he would
get back The first check for 500
was dated the day he left-and last
check forty-ive months after that.
He boosted to his friends how clever
he was. This is what happened:-
The first check and the second went
through all right; by the third month
the bank got wind of the fact that he
had gone to France. They declined
to pay any further checks.

- The style OF a great master is born
with him. 1t seems, even in his
pupilage to flow in some magical
fashion from his finger tips. But for
the rest Of us it is a thing to be
achieved. 20 be beaten out and grown
into as the years go on. Some such
reflections as these are peculiarly pro-
ycked by Mr.. Augustus Vincent Tack,
who has all exhibition Of his recent
paintings at the Kraushaar Gallery.
Several years since, certain large
Scriptural subjects of his disclosed him
as wrestling with a technical method
and not quite conquering it. Then, q
year ago, in another exhibition he re
ported progress, as it were. Progress
had been made, Enthusiastically. And if
VIC may judge from the present dis
play, he is that rare type Of artist, the
type that cannot stand still. He is more
sklful in 1918 than he was in 1917.
That, by itself, cxcites interest in his
work
There were one or two portraits in
his collection last year, performances
having undeniablc vitality, but handi-
capped by the painters difficulty in
o}ercoming the stubbornness of his
medium. The single portrait he now
exhibits is still a little panty" but
it is, on the whole, more suavely
handled than its predecessors. But il
is not in his portrature that Mr.. Tack
gives us the most beguiling account of
himself. Where ne excels is in the
painting Of romantic landscapes. The
romance in them is not of the obvious
sort He does not dramatize nature,
does he seek by the employment of
any farfetched accessories to justify
his rather esoteric titles, "The En-
