TWO young married lovers have
1 written TO consult ne On a really
important question.
They are uncertain how the family
income should be divided between
husband and wife, and who should
direct the spending OF f.
They ask rs Il proper for a
husband 10 give his salary 70 his
wife and let her save whatever she
can spare. or for him 10 keep the
salary, and just give her a certain
sign themselves -NeWlyWed."
Now. the truth is that this Is much
too important a matter 10 settle by
any universal rule made 10 cover all
cases Each young married pair
ought 20 work out their own most
practical system Of converting the
weekly pay envelope into food.
clothing. and an occasional good
time" And. as my young Newly
Weds realize. they ought 10 do q at
the very beginning.
Powerful as love Is, love alone
won't suffice 20 regulate this ques-
tion OF the family pocketbook. Many
brides and bridegrOoms have told
each other that IL didn't matter who
handled the income and paid the bills,
because all the money belonging to
either one was common property
anyhow. and because mere dimes and
dollars could never disturb the seren-
ity Of love.
This may be true: yet it's wiser, I
think 10 keep love and the family
budget distinct
And I believe that every married
pair should begin their life together
by deciding Just how the family
partnership should be conducted
u the husbands salary is small
and the wife f. capable. don't
think a better way could be found
than TO turn the entire sum over to
her, and let her apply 4 10 the FAM
fly expenses
Who Buys the DInne-s
II Is she who is the buyer. II
would seem only reasonable that she
should have the wherewithal TO pay
for what she buys And IL is foo
much TO expect a woman to be thrifty
ana economical II she never quite
knows how much she Is at liberty
to spend
And yet scarcely believe IN laying
down an unraryinE rule that the
wife should be the sole spender for
the family. because there are wor7-
en- who are without a head for fig
ures' and who would rather share
mis- responsibility with their hus-
bands.
So, Young Newlyweds. talk over
your situation together Discuss the
amount you have 10 spend and what
you are TO spend K Far. And then
appoint the spender.
Its true that Il falls 50 much
more naturally to the woman's part
70 guard the treasury. that unless
she declines outright on the r-ounF
n her Unborn antipathy to the null

The only way for the people OF a city
10 become properly interested in its
welfare is for them 10 get together
and talk over different needs. Half
the people live in total Ignorance Of
the welfare OF the other half. Surely
they must feel that their own limits
OF success are dependent on the limits
OF the city's success. And the sue
