and In doing 20 they have no less respect
for their parents. for they soon realize that
the story was told TO amuse their childish
fancy and not to deceive or harm them.

Sabbath and Pastlmes

To the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir-Somo time ago I wrote you letter
making the statement that the Sabbath day
was originated for purposes of recuperation'
mental and physical. and that various people
interpreted the keeping Of this day according
to their occupatios and according to what
sort of activities would be best for them on
the Sabbath.
The Lord gave US instructions regarding
the Sabbath 30 We would be benefited there-
by. 40 It Is probably inimaterial to Him.
Now somebody points out the words OF
Isaiah, saying that wc should put away our
own ways on the Sabbath and do the Lords
way but there IL no detailed explanation
concerning what the Lords way Ia except
tho one given above. II we care to argue.
let us do 30. and not wander away from the
point. This Is very disconcerting and gets
US nowhere.
might also add that the New Testament
Is full OF injunctions that we do the
Lords way all the time and not merely on
the Sabbath. II appears as though Isaiah
was dealing with kindergarten students and
considering the time. this seems very prob
able that he had to deal with them ac-

that II came to be used following the gold

miners would employ a pan ny cfaaie-

Wife's Share Of Husba nd's Earnings

TO the Editor Of the Eventr0 Public Ledger:
Sir--I was interested in a letter appear
Ing In your Peoples Forum regarding the
share woman should receive out of her
husbands earnings. ] think this IL aues-
:!on that should interest a great majority
Of your readers, and that replies should
be able to solve the problem in many
housoholds. I do not believe woman has
any right to receive any share Of hus-
bands earnings. The money that should
be given her II not to enter into his earn
Ing capacity. otherwise the husband would
bs seriously Handicapped by 30 doing.
A husband should have entire control OF
the money no earns. for the reason that
this money munt always be at his disposal
In order to assist him In further enlarGing
the business and, In turn. further enlarg-
Ing his income. Besides, a husband can
very much moro judiciously handle money
than the wife, because he has had to earn
a. and knows what the struggle really
meant. while II tho wife were given good
portion she would handle II In the same
way THAI she handles her money inherited.
Il comes easy, and II goes easy.
The most equitable plan TO manage a
home is for husband and wife to come TO
some plan whereby .he wife Is adequately
provided for. no matter what the husband
may be earning As he increases his earn
ings his wife naturally comes In for her
share, for with his profits he looks for
sreater pleasures. In which she shares and
he fnds a better home. or need for bet
ter furniture. etc.
Each wife should be given an allowance
upon which to properly run her house. This
sum can easily be arrived at by n careful
consultation between man and wife. Then
ths husband should-snd undoubtedly In
most cases does-see that his wife IL prop
srly dressed, and he should also provide
hor with q weekly sum which may be used
by her exclusively as pin money!
The husband pays the rent, pays the
domsstios. II they have any: buys the coal.
and pays the bills generally. SO why should
The wife receive share Of the husband q
earnings, when such q share Is supposed to
mean q percentage OF such earnings. The
husband has dozen and ono expenses OF
which the wife 10 unfamiliar and does not
understand. Therefore. she should not be
taken into partnership in the division Of
the earnings. GEORGE a. BLAND,
