LIFE'S PROBLEMS
ARE DISCUSSED

The old cynical saying. when
Poverty comes in at the door Love
flies out of the window" is not al
ways true.
As matter of fact, Love has oft
| en- been strengthened and saved
sometimes even been born out of the
pity and sympathy and the drawing
closer together due to financial re-
verses. -.
What is true is that Love is very
apt to fly before the advent of Stingi-
ness and Unfairness.A
The success of marriage is almost
always an economic problem. With
that phase of it satisfactorily settled,
the other phase can generally be
trusted to take care of themselves.
The man who doles out the house
keeping allowance as if he were giv-
ing aims; the woman who lets the
bread-bill slide to spend the money
on some bit of extravaganza; the
man who grouches about expense at
home and poses as a prince" at
downtown bars the woman who will
have, regardless of the amount of
her husbands income-these are re-
sponsible for more separations and
disagreements than all the vampires
and novels and plays and moving
and soul-mates put together.
All the free-verse and free-love
pictures and theoretical piffle of ev-
cry sort cannot change the fact that
marriage is business enterprise and
as with every other business enter
prise, it's success is almost entirely
matter of straight bookkeeping.
.As an exhibit along this line,
present the experience of one of my
correspondents. Her letter, in con-
traSt to most of those ! receive, deals
not with difficulties but with results,
and is so clear-headed and suggest
I've that / am sure it will be help
full to many.
MY dear Mrs. Woodrow" she
writes, II am always interested in
your articles, and as you are asking
your readers for some suggestions
about the allowance problem l
would like to- give a few practical
idea.
In most cases l feel sure that the
wife herself is chiefly in the blame.
A man--if he is any man at all
will not fuss about added expense,
but will admire his wife the more il
she will only come to him in a
straightforward businesslike fashion
not complaining or fault-tinding,
but in cheerful mood-and show
him by facts and figures why it is
necessary for her to have u larger
weekly amount on which to run the
house.
"of course, this applies only to
wives who are acquainted with the
exact amount of their husbands in
comes and who know that he can
afford to be more generous. But ev-
cry wife should be acquainted with
the amount of the income-other-
wise she is not a partner, but de-
pendent. f
I'm any case, though, let her drive
out of her consciousness any eXpec-
tation of fear or injustice, let her
tell herself that she is entitled to a
square deal and feel that she is go
ing to get it; and If she approaches
him in this attitude she will surely
win.

husband few years ago and has
proven most satisfactory in actual
practice, as it gives us both a feel
ing OF freedom and independence
and with me especially it has been
most helpful in teaching me to count
the cost of n thing before buying
and never to contract a bill unless
know when and how l am going to
pay it.
This is our system: On the 1st
and 18th of each month we reckon
the amount of money my husband
has on hand and set aside sums
necessary to cover our household ex-
penses-the rent and the bill of the
butcher, baker and candlestick
maker. Then certain fixed per-
centage is retained for deposit in the
Dank against a possible emergency
ana Tor saving. The remainder we
divide equally between ourselves.
We both keep strict account of
what we septn, and for any mutual
pleasure - an outing, visit to the
theatre or movies, etc.-each paws

There is contented woman. She
does not say it, but one gathers she

her home. She feels that she is truly
