ECONOMY AT EXPENSE
OF WIFE'S WARDROBE
Husbands First Step Is to Cut
Clothing Allowance, Fed
eral Statistics Show

When friend husband wants 10 econ
omize in these days of the high cost
of living ne begins to slash his wife S
wardrobe allowance.
This is according to Royal Meeker,
United States commissioner of labor
statistics. And Mr. Mceker ought to
know, since he has just finished a sur
vey of the country for the Department
of Labor conducted during 1913 and
1910.
Mr.. Meeker says:
1T is interesting to note that when
economies are necessary they are made
largely at the expense of the wifes
wardrobe. The first baby makes n cut
in the mothers clothes allowance and
every addition to the family cuts deeper
into this item"
Mr.. Meeker brings out the point
which many husbands won't admit, by
the way-that wives spend less for
clothes than husbands until hubby's in
come reaches $500 n year. Then
Friend Wife starts in and
Well, ask any husband making $500
year.
