How much is wife worth in cold,
hard cash?
Every day we read in the newspapers
about husbands who are SUNG men who
have stolen their wives from them and
who assess their losses at anywhere
from five thousand TO five hundred
thousand dollars Whether this is be
cause ono wife ~ SO much more pulchrl-
tudenous, and vlrtuous, and amlahlc as
TO make her worth fancy price, while
the other wife is only bargain counter
remnant, SO TO speak; or whether IT -
because wives are like certain antiques
with no intrinsic value of their own, and
are worth only whatever fancy figure
their owner sets upon them, and he can
induce some infatuated simplcton to
pay no one knows.
The Bible SAYS that the price of n good
wife is above ruhies, and no married
man will dispute the market quotation.
The reason that most husbands call
their wives Dear is because they are
one of the costlest luxuricS in which a
chap can indulge himself. for it is only
after man takes unto himself . better
three-fourths that he really comes to
grips with the high cost of living.
Nevertheless, and Notwithstanding
millinery bills and drcss-making bills,
and all the ills that she carries IN her
| train wife is nearly always definite
asset that a man can borrow money OF
al the bank. Many business firms prefer
TO hire married men. Most employers
give their employees an advance in salary
when they get married and this is not
I z,,l.. chat ,,,orrtoI ~
needs more money than single man
| but it bespeaks conviction that he
will be more reliable and dependable
and worth more in business.
Also it is true that few men ever
| begin TO save money and get on IN
( the world until after they are married
and more benedicts than bachelors
achieve fortunes.
! Likewise there are wives whose
obvious worth to their husbands every
body can compute. There are ambitious
women who fairly push ordinary men
up to the top OF the ladder, for many a
self-made man is wife made, If the real
truth were told about him.
There are other wives whose thrift
is the basis of their husbands fortunes.
They are the nickle nursers who never
waste potato pairing, who make every
dollar do the work of FIVE, and who are
the watch dogs of the family treasury
who never sleep at their posts.
And there are other wives who are
superlative housekeepers, who lap their
husbands in supreme physical comfort,
who feed them on perfect food, who see
that their every material want is sup
piled as if by magic, who fuss over them
when they are sick, and coddle and pet
them as if they were babies, who are
worth the wages of retinues of servants
Undoubtedly the woman who is spur
in the side of her husband is entitled to
draw down half OF whatever purse he
wins in the race of life. Without Ques-
ton, an economical wife is money in the
husbands pocket. No one will even at
tempt to compute the value of wife
who is at once cook, and valet, and in
cense burner, but, when all is said, the
Every evening, Wilmington daily commercial., 1922-09-25

worth of wife does not depend upon
what the woman really IL herself, but
what her husband thinks about her.
II man loves woman well enough
TO cash in his affection for her in work,
you may put any fancy price you please
upon her and YOU WI not ovcrvalue her
II is the man who thinks his wife the
prett lest, and the finest, and tho dalntl-
est thing in the world, and who deter
mines that she shall have silks, and
jewels for her adornment, and linn
cuisines to ride in, and servants TO wait
upon her, who goes out and gets these
things for her. Many man who cares
nothing for money himself becomes q
millionaire in order that he may sur
round the woman he loves with luxury.
The man who really loves a woman
counts 10 toll too hard for her His love
for her gives him n grim courage, and
makes him fight against every possible
odds 10 success You can always back
lover husband to win out il it is humanity
possible to do so. II is the bachelors who
have no one but themselves TO consider,
and the men who are married TO women
for whom they do not care, who give up,
and fail.
No bank makes mistake when it
gives liberal credit. TO the man who
means to give his wife a rope of pearls
some day, and see her lead society in the
community.
Curiosly enough, the extravagant
woman has definite cash value to her
husband. He has to get busy to pay her
bills, and very often the very demands
that such q woman makes upon a man
forces him into developing an energy
that he would not otherwise have dis
played in chasing the nimble dollar.
OF course, every woman likes to think
that sentimentally she is above price
to her husband, and that he would
be poor, indeed, if robbed of her. This
is pleasing and consoling thought that
no sordid considerations should disturb.
But aside from that every woman does
have real cash value to her husband.
What is yours?

MR.. FOX TAKES A TUMBLE.

Old Mr.. Fox was hungry. II had
been some time since he had eaten
chicken or duck for his dinner and now
that the sun was shining warmly he
felt sure that some member of those
families would be out, even though there
was snow on the ground.
So he went over the hill toward the
farmhouse, and just as he came TO the
top he happened TO see Madam Duck
waddling down the path from her
home
"She is too tough" thought Mr.
Fox. 81 don't want her unless can't
get anything else. Now | wonder
where she lives, for l am sure she
must have some ducklings that would
please me very much.
So Mr.. Fox began to look about and
spied just under the hill the little
house where Madam Ducks children
were peeking through the window.

mind now you know that Mr.. Fox will
not be around.
And then those naughty ducklings
disobeyed their mother and put on
their mittens and caps and ran to the
top Of the hill where the sled was and
got on.
Mr.. Fox had run down the hill to
cross the pond and be there waiting on
the other side when the sled arrived
there with FIVE nice plump ducklings

sled with the ducklings went faster
than he expected it would and Just
when he was halfway down 1t hit
Mr.. Fox knocking him off his feet
and luckily for those five naughty
silly ducklings they tumbled of the
sled.
Down the hill rolled Mr.. Fox and
behind him the sled and when ne
struck the frozen pond at the bot
tom the sled hit Mr.. Fox giving his
head such a bump that the only thing
he saw was stars.

as he picked himself up and rubbed
his head in dazed way but Mr.. Dos
running toward him, barking loudly
soon brought Mr. Fox to his senses
and he started off faster than he came
Madam Duck tapped her wings
with horror when she heard what had
happened. "You silly little things
that was old Mr.. Fox himself, she
said.
And because he did not eat them
those FIVE silly ducklings wondered il
anyone so nice and pleasant as Mr.
