MARRIED A FOOL,
DICK WISHED HE HAD


ct was only the next day or so, you
will remember" continued Dicks manu-
script, that we had our flrst difference
and awoke TO the fact that you had a
very stubborn mind and a very set will
CT your own.
Il was awfully surprised when you
insisted that you should have a say in
the disposal OF your own money. All
my bringing up had taught me that no
woman should be entrusted with
money. Either hers or anybody else's.
Only a man was big enough TO take care
OF the family pocketbook.
II had heard in my parents home the
jangles that came every month over
bills and 1t seemed to me that mother
and Mollle both had only The insane de-
sire TO get all the money they could by
any method and spend IT,
ITO think OF a woman-especially like
you, Margle--a woman who was pretty
and lovable-ds having any head for
business was impossible.
1T never entered my muddle-head at
that time that l myself had not been
a shining light as a financler.
Il was like a man who drinks He
always thinks he can stop when he
wants TO. l was sure that now / was
married / could save money although
had never done II before, because for
the moment / did not care for the
things for which / spent money before
ny marriage. l thought l never would
care for them again. And when you
asked me for an allowance l was not
only shocked but hurt.
'All at once / seemed TO see In you
not dear little soft, cuddllng girl WHO
had implicit confidence In me as her
husband. but a kind Of hard school
teaching woman who was determined
to have her share OF the spolls.
For a minute-yes, for longer than
that, much longer, / said 10 myself, l
have made a mistake, ought not have
married, and / let you see that ugly
thought, Margie, for which, God for
give me, for / know now you unwit-
tingly never did forgive me. Oh yes,
know, dear, know you did not realize
that you began TO dlstrust me at that
time, but you did.
81 wonder II many Of the modern men
have found out Margie, that their
wives have passed that place in the
worlds experience where they do not
meekly accept anything and everything
as the truth, the whole truth and noth-
ing but the truth. just because hubby
says Il.
II confess, at the time OF our mar
riage l thought / was not only 10 be
the head Of the home but had defn-
ite ideas OF being the moving power Of
the entire household l did not stop
to think Of my unfltness for the post
Indeed, one OF my irritations on that

What Sammy needs most is bread
and bullets.
For every superfluous letter. a bull
