The women who are going out So
Letting the latter part of the week in
the united war work campaign are
hoping that the money of the house.
hold will not all be given by the head
of the family down town, but that
some will be left with the wife at
home SO that the calls of the women
will not seem so useless. Oftentimes
the man of the house thoughtlessly
gives all that the family can afford
and then his wife is made to feel as
tho >she Is not doing her part when
she is solicited. OF course this is only
thoughtlessness and the man would
be glad to have his wife enjoy the
pleasure of giving along with him had
she only suggested the fact that she
would like to do her part thru the wo-
mans committee. And Mr.. MAN of
the House." it would give her the
greatest of pleasures to feel that she
is doing her best in this way, and then,
too, the work of the woman's commit
tee will not be without recompense.
