What is womaa to do who has in

turn it all over to her husband, or keep
it herself?
say that she should keep it herself. If
her husband is the right sort of man,
he will be glad to know that she is pro-
tected against the hardships of poverty
and want. no matter what befalls him.
and if he is the wrong sort OF man, she will
need her money more than ever.
For that type of husband never treats
the wife who is financially independent, as
meanly as he does the one who Is depend
ent upon him.
/ believe that the married woman who
has money should keep her hnancisl
affairs In her own hands, and separate
from her husbands, for many reasons.
First, because il makes the family soublv
safe. All of the eggs are not Ia one basket.
If the husband Is a good business man,
he will not need the wife's little roll, and
ii he is a poor business man. the wifes IN
come helps out, and keeps the wolf from
the door, and sends the children to school
Until within q comparatively short time
ago, a womans property automatically
passed to her husband on her wedding day
Many women still put everything they
have unreservedly into the hands of the
men they marry, and merely sign on the
dotted line whatever paper the husband
brings to them. The result is that all of
us know dozens of women, who were
reared In the lap of luxury and inherited
fortunes, who have been brought to direct
poverty by their husbands
Most of these men did not Intentionally
rob their wives. They were Just bad man
ayers, or reckless spectators, and they took
risks with the money they had not earned,
that they would never have taken with
money for which they had toiled and
sweat. Come easy, go easy, is the eternal
law of the dollar. You rarely see either

Why Are Americans Called @YankeesF'
While the genesis Of the term
Yankee, as applied to Americans in
generally southerners to those resid-
ing in the north and BY northerners 20
the residents of New England. is shroud-
ed in the mists Of Colonial antiquity.
there are two explana tons which
bear the ear marks Of truth and logic.
The first. and most generally accepted
of these, is that the word is q corruption
Of French AngIais or English" used
by the northern Indian tribes during
the early days Of the colonies. History
states that 'fYengeese'' WIS as close as

dollars. into fortune. True. There are
exceptions to every general rule, but
the man who has the mOney-makIng
instinct would make his fortune anyhow
and taking IL BY and large, the risk is too
great Nine times out of ten, the woman
is better off to keep her own.
But the woman who inherits money
should play fair with IT, She should keep
the priacipIe, but spend the income for the
benefit OF the family, and not selishly
use it for her own benefit.
If she has enough TO be personally IN
dependent, she should not expect her
husband to pay all of her bills, or those of
the house Her money should be the
velvet that enables the family TO live more
comfortably, and indulge in luxuries that
they could not otherwise have.
And the clinching argument for 3
woman's keeping her own money, is be-
cause there Is no other thing under the sun
that brings with it so much self-respect
such an ineffable sense of independence,
as to have your own money that YOU can
spend as YOU please, and for which you do
not have to give an account 10 nay human
being No matter how generous and kind
a husband may be, his wife has a sense of
degradation and humiliation every time
she has TO 60 TO him for money. The
woman who has q chance to save herself
that, and doesn't do it, ought 10 have her
head operated on for the slllies.
Also man treats every woman who has
money in her own right, differently from
the one who hasn't. This instructive kow-
towing to money extends even 10 wives,
and SO the woman who wishes 70 keep her
husband on his good behavior, does well
To keep him interested in her
There is no financial problem more COM
plicated than the domestic one, but he
woman who keeps her money may be sure
of one thing. She is playing a safe game,
instead of taking a fiier on her comfort and
happiness.
