OUR FIRST YEAR
CHAPTER XxIV-Inspiring Husband
By Bride.

He was always measuring color
waves. Now he makes dyes"
'And a million a year!"
"Yesl And he used to be the dear
est, sweetest man in the university.
And now he's an old grouchl"
Only a few OF us shared Jeanne's
opinion. Most OF US believed that
making money IS a duty a man owes
his wife. For doesn't a girl, when
she marries, surrender her own
chance TO acquire fortune? Doesn't
a man. then, assume a double respon-
slbility, his own and hers?
So we girls argued in school. And
never have forgotten the theory.
And long ago I decided not TO let
my husband get into a financial rut
Naturally. Jack felt from the first
his wife ought to have the best Of
everything. Just as a matter Of
personal pride. For example. when
ever 1 have mentioned a car. Jack
agrees that I ought to have one.
I must admit that he never brings
up the question Of car. but he is
attentive when tell him about the
new models some OF the other girls
have. Jessie Langdon has a new
sedan. And her husband is IN the
office with Jack. I suppose things
will come our way some time.
But have harder problem than
most OF the girls.
For II Jack has one single tiny
fault in his character. It is this:
he may be a wee bit too much OF a
reader and a dreamer and a chess
player.
He much prefers sitting over a
chess board at some kind of chess
to going TO the most bril-
liant society event Of the season. And
hat attitude toward society and peo-
pie with money will not do-if Jack
s to make a quick success.

A COCKTAIL OR A

The minimum number Of dresses nee

cumstances who wants TO be we'll

has just decreed Paul Poiret, inter-
viewed on the justice of mems com
plants about the excessive number
OF dresses bought by their wives.
Intelligent and prudent hus-
bands" said Poiret, must make the
biggest sacrifices so that their wives
be the best looking, the most beau
tifully dressed. / know some who
pass up their cocktail 10 buy a bunch
OF violets. The wife is the last per-
son to whom one should confess a
difficult financial situation or ask
economizing.
"Of course this refers 10 a certain
class in society and everything de-
pends OF the way OF living and OF the
income Of which one disposes. II
your wife never goes out, she can
very easily do with a single dress.
even a homedress. But this is not
the general average.
Therefore I say that a husband
who occasionally takes his wife cut
and wants her TO be 'presentatle'
ought to let her have:
zone simple tailor made dress.
zone elegant tailor made dress.
Two afternoon gowns.
Two gowns for small dinners.
zone dancing gown.
lone gala dress.
zone travelling mantle.
zone evening mantle.
This Is enough"

offered Miss Daley a magnanimous
