Revenge isn't sweet. 1t is as bitter
as gall, and it poisons the lives of
all those who cherish it. Vengeance

with kindlier thoughts. You will be
happier for it.
Dear Miss Dix: Don't you think
that husband should give his
wife a certain allowance once each
week, that she could feel free to
spend for herself just as she pleases?
Don't you think that a husband
should realize how it hurts a wom-
ans pride to have to ask him for
every nickel she actually needs, and
how insulted and Inundated she
feels when he refuses her? What do
you think of the pin-money ques-
ton?

Answer: I think that every girl,
that question out with her fiance
and have definite understanding
of the matter. And il she finds out
that the man is one who believes
that a husband should hold the
pocketbook and dole out a few pen
MES to his wife as he sees fit, she
will save herself a lot OF unhappi-
ness by refusing, right then and
there, to enter into any such one
sided partnership.
A. wife who does the work, and
has the responsibility Of making a
home, earns by the labor Of her
hands a bigger salary than any or
dinarily successful man can afford to
pay, yet there are thousands upon
thousands of Woodworking women
who would think themselves lucky
to get half the wages Of first.

ices Of housemaid, nurse and seam
stress and companion besides. When
a. man expects his wife to work
fourteen hours O. day, as the aver.
age housewife does, for her board
and clothes, he makes a prize ex.
hibition of nerve. He wouldn't dc
that for any person living. He would
throw up his job and get another
with some one where he would at
least see the color OF the money
his work earned.
AS for mans saying that, OF
course, all that he has is his wife
that is simply bosh. A woman who
has a stingy husband can get mon

he always gives his wife what she
asks for, that is beside the CUES

Why NJ hate to give their wives

trouble and friction.
My earnest advice to all yomer
is to ask their husband to give
them an allowance and, if refused, tc
go On a strike until they get it.
Dear Miss Dix: Should a. girl OF
should a boy lead the conversation?
THREE JAMES.
Answer: Depends on which one
has the glibbest tongue. Some boys
are monologue artists and love the
sound Of their own voices. In such
cases the girl does well to lend them
her ears. or else they will be off
to some more accommodating maid
en-. AS a general thing, however, a
girl has to sustain the converse
ton, Or else silence reigns. Most
boys sit UP like grand Turks and
let girl toll like a coal HEAVIER to
entertain them.
