Mans PRIVILEGE In the Homo

TO the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger!
sr-Recrntiy there have been printed
several letters in your Peoples Forum
which reflect upon the wife In the home
end should like to come to her defense.
In n great mea sure the troubles that creep
into the domestic life are moro due to the
husband than to the wife. After the honey
moon days are over. and the couple get
down to tho actualites OF life. then comes
the period In which the future happiness or
the home depends Most husbands are In
the habit OF making their wives an allow
snce and they usually make II Just as small
as possible. On this allowance the wife
is expected to conduct her home and pro-
vide everything that comes into ". with
possibly the exception Of. paying the rent,
II they are not owners.
In this allotment the husband usually
gives his wifo less than half the sum he
keeps for himself. On this she Is supposed
10 keep up the home In which he shares
equally with her. She rarely Is privileged
to share with him the sum he has kept
for himself. unless II Is an occasional visit
TO the theatre. or trip to some point
The husband has no experience In running
house. and he does not care to learn. He
only counts on the food that no actually.
gees on his table as representing the money
that he has given his wife. Just as he
needs to visit the barbershop and sf,oe-shine
shop. and the many things that ho requires
Tor his personal adornment. and comfort. :
the wife has these samo expenses. but only
IN u greater variety. and every one who !s
familiar with the subject knows that the
things that arc required by women are more
costly than those required by the men.
The great trouble Is that husband md
wife do not get together often enough ana
talk over their finances. The husband
should be made to realize all tho expenses
that the wife must incur to keep UP the
home as tho husband desires II to be kept
up and to keep UP her personal appearance
so that she will always look presentable.
II they conferred more often there would
DO much less trouble in the domestic circle
than 10 tho case today

The pen Of Ironauili. a Kansas poet Of the

With the germs Of vital freedom:

Do not rake them UP in fields.
Under pallid marble shields.
Let them rest and be cherished
Where they fell.

Under cypress. under laurel.
On the mountains. by the bayou.
In the dell.

Shrowd the heroes who are buried.
Resting where they fought so bravely.

Do not rake them up in felds.
Under pallid marble shields.
Let them rest, lot them rest
Where they fell.
Perhaps IL Ironaulll were alive today he
would. add:
Lot them rest, let them rest where they fell.
Out In Flanders, in the ArEonno.
On the Vesle and athwart the Marne,
In Belleau Wood and on the Ourcq
Let them dwell.
For they tell .hc world a story
OF our great nations sacrifice;
Let them slumber in their glory,

circle OF white stars. corresponding with
the number OF states OF the Confederacy.
After this nag was adopted. It was FIRST
unfurled on March I. 1851. from tho Capitol
in Montsomery. Ala. The new nag was
hoisted, II is said, less than Ave hours
after tine design was adopted. a number Of
patriotic women being ready to put the

Of ex-President Tyler.
