THRIFTY WOMEN

Marriage is a partnership
in which husband and wife
share responsibility. The
wife is as important as the
husband, at least we would
not care to suggest to the
we'll ordered housewife that
she isn't, and the net in
come of man and wife in
the well-regulated house j.,
hold usually belongs to both.
The wife who has a fixed
income for household pur-
poses is in very much the
same position as the wo-
man who earns weekly
salary, and Should manage
to lay aside a fixed sum each
week in the Savings Bank,
and so help to make pro-
vision for the future needs
of herself and family. 1t
frequently happens that a
thrifty woman, unknown to
other members of the house
hold, will manage to save a
dollar here and there where
a man could not. Many a
family has been carried over
periods of misfortune by the
foresight of the wife and
mother.
