Dear, is it raining?"
"Yes, it's raining, and you'd bet
ter stay in the house and take care
of that cold. I've had time enough
helping to knock it out of YOU"
Helen left her seat at the break

she gazed down into the rain-swept
street.

good-naturedly, "I suppose you're
starting to worry about tonight"
We'll. 1 do want to look nice.
You know, it's going to be quite a
dressy party. It's Lieutenant Girls
CONS last night"
Not full dress!"
NO, Warren, of course not, but
l did want to wear my new crepe"
well, wear the new crepe and
bundle up we'll. But for heavens
sake don't get yourself up in that
cape of yours. OF all the impracti-
cal things 1 ever saw, that's the
limit"
Helen kissed him goodby without
replying. She was still hoping that
the weather would change so that
she could look as we'll as she had
planned to. Just to wear the blue
dress without any accessories and
| to have to wear her old tweed coat
would be heartbreaking. Anyway
she would hope for the best.
Every few minutes all day until
it was time to get ready for the
dinner she kept running to the win
dow. At o'clock it was still rain
ing, although the rain was not COM
ing down as hard as it had been.
Warren, breezing in at $50 and be-
ginning to get his own things ready
and to run the water for his bath,
remarked that it had stopped rain
ing.
But the streets are terrible" he
finished, "and you be sure to wear
rubbers and your heavy coat"
But, Warren, if it isn't raining,
why can't l wear the cape. L hate
that old coat
That's right, sacrifice your
health for a little pride" he scoffed.
But it isn't raining, and you
said it wasn't a bit cold"
"All right, wear the cape" he
conceded. but don't you dare stir
out of this house without rubbers."
Helen ruminated as she finished
dressing. She stole to the window
when Warren was out of the room
and already the wind was beginning
to dry the streets. BY the time they
were ready to start the streets would
be in good condition, quite good
enough to her to wear her oXfords
without rubbers. She decided to go
without rubbers, which she loathed
and to say nothing to Warren about
it.
Got your rubbers on?" he queried
when they were ready to go.
"Oh, come on. Warren, I'm all
right" Helen returned evasively
and Warren, thinking that she meant
the words as an answer, said no
more.

work in order to push him ahead {;
in fact l am still doing office work

But the eteranl argument is mon

teen dollars per week for my pin
money, newspapers. magazines and
the table. He thinks two hundred

conversation. He also refuses to
go to dances. l am young and feel
that I am >entitled to go at least
once or twice a year.
Il am perfectly willing to go back
to work and support myself. but he
also refuses on the ground that the
people will think he can't support
his wife. l can't stand any longer
this pulling both ways. The matter
cannot be thrashed out by talking,

hear mine. What shall I do? How
much do you think a woman is real
ly entitled to out of an income as
above? We have no children"
In reply ! can only state principles.
Marriage is contract entered in
to by two people. The husband earns
the money, the wife is supposed to
disburse the necessary amount in the
maintanence of the home. If they
are people of ordinary business sense
they first decide how much they
wish to spend on their living ex-
penses. Then if they are prudent
they save a certain amount. The
remainder should be divided equally
between them so that each may
meet his own personal expenses and
save, invest or spend as he chooses
In this case where the wife was
and still is a self-supporting woman,
for her husband to impose upon her
the restrictions he does in regard to
her time, her amusements and her
spending is absurd and unfair. He
| is evidently imbued with the med
iaeval idea that his wife is his prop
erty, a chattel, and should be con-
tented to submerge herself in his
profound selfishness. The day for
that is past.
/ wish some of my readers would
write and tell me just what amount
they think is proper for a woman
to spend on her clothes. her hus-
bands income being the sum given
| above.

mood and sent a flat-iron stove-plate
skimming at your head would be
preferable to the daily snooper
among the garbage and the nightly
nagger over the waste of a wish
bone.
One might rise to such large dra-
matte affairs with the attendant eX-
citement of lodging a stove-plate
and the big emotional scene of re-
Cancellation afterward; but any wo-
mans spirit would lie down in the
dust and die at the prospect of a
long life with one of these pantry
providers.
There is a deep instructive belief
in every woman's heart that since
man may range the court, camp
church, the vessel and the mart" it
is not within his sphere to bring his
powers os business organization to
bear upon the home.
Another woman writes me:
Il have been married about twelve
years and at the time of my marri-
age l was making a fairly good
salary, and of course bought as l
choose. Going to business l did not
realize the amount of clothes I need
at home and l always dressed very
plainly. My husband has a steady
income of three thousand five hun
dred dollars year and always
makes commissions of at least a
thousand more.
