Concerning Husbands-Their Care .

is worse-badly trained, and has
much to unlearn. He may have been
spoiled by adoring mother or sisters,
which is, perhaps, the hardest type
OF man to marry.
Many marital disagreement is
due precisely to this deplorable lack
OF training on the part Of the man.
Seventy per cent of the welded diff
ferences are about money, and usu-
ally it is the woman who is chided
for lack of businesslike manage
ment, of budgeting, and the like, yet
l hold that one reason for the sue
cess of the budget idea when applied
to domestic finance lies exactly here
that the husband then can see, as
he hasn't seen before, how much the
upkeep of a house and family
amounts to. Theoretically, he knows
that a household has expenses, but
actually the SIS he gives his wife
looms large in his eyes; the S. he
puts IN his pocket melts in a day or
two at most, and quite naturally.
This simple lack of knowledge ac-
counts for the "Where's the five
cents | gave you last week." atti-
tude of some husbands toward the
wife's legitimate expense. Many
man will scold about bills for house
hold upkcep and scold also if given
the simpler fare which would quite
naturally reduce them.

spective that has altered: the sense
of ownership has entered in. Very
much as if one had admired for long
a bit of property that seemed alto
gether lovely, and then acquired it.
1t would be as desirable as before,
possibly more fondly beloved, yet
the sense of ownership would make
one look at it with different eyes,

rare wife who doesn't attempt some
thing of the sort on her husband.

Demonstrations Better
Than Lectures

The best cure for this apparently
ancient wrong of women is that of
the auld wife in the nursery legend
namely, to let George do the pur-
chasing for month, all of it, and
see how he comes out. The thing
may be proposed most tactfully-
that the wife may learn of him-any
preferred method, so he does it. This
will probably result in budget.

trying to make the cash of a 1915
schedule cover 1919 expenses, while
her Edwin has been serenely I'M

City would give flavor and distinc-
ton to many square miles of sub
urban life.
City tenement houses and apart
ments are usually so limited in space
that free folk feel stihed and
cramped and restless, and get out
from their walls as much as possible.
Having nowhere to go but to the
street or to places of amusement,
such people never really rest, but
crave artificial excitement, which is
bound to have unfortunate reactions.
1t sometimes seems that the desire
to live in the city comes from an
Athenian fear Of missing some spec
tacle if away from the centre of ac-
tivity, and, witnessing one pageant
after another, there is provided a
gluttony of sights impossible to d.
gest.
Have you ever heard a person
mourn his inability to live in the city
because Of the interesting churches,
museums, lectures, ETC., which he
might attend? And, after he does
live in town, have you checked up
on him to see Of how many in
structive opportunities he takes ad-
vantage?

Genius for Community Life
Lost In Apartment Layers

Of course, there are certain peo-
pie whose circumstances are con-
dltioned by matters beyond their con-
troll. Such people may have to live
in cities and bring up their children
there as we'll as possible, in quarters
where choice has little to do with
selection; but there are others,
young people just founding a fam
lily, who make a great mistake in
thinking that apartment life in a
great city, because Of it's ease, will
prove the proper environment for
the development of their family. If
they live in the big city just because
of what they may extract from it,
without considering what use they.
in turn, can be in the progress of
that city, their house is founded on
sand. Any social or artistic talents
possessed by such young people will
atrophy without a field in which
to exercise them. Yet those same
gifts, offered for the advance
ment of small community, would
be extremely useful and conspic-
uously appreciated. The mass Of

TIME searching test of Ameri-

each home as a state unit and as a
group of potential patriots.
Ever since there have been homes
worth guarding men have fought to
preserve them, and the thought that
our own American homes have been
spared during the war has made US
realize how dear they are, how in
nuentlal they can be, and we feel
that we must make every effort to

this that women discuss in the sum-
