an assessment record is the full

The assessment is kept by a card sys

ste1ographer employed for a

kept by the same method and
the forms are SO drawn as to

Why All This2

Dear Miss Lee: We are two girls in love-
We wish to get married. Do you think il is
all right for girls to propose. as this is Leap
Year? The boys both proposed to US once
but we thought we we're too young and re-
fused. This happened some time ago;
LEAP YEAR GIRLS.
Why such drastic measures? 1
don't believe they are necessary, girls.
You can let the young men know you
would not turn deaf ears to their pro-
/ csals now, without actually going
down on your knees and pleading,
will you marry me?'
However. girls, before you even in
duce the men to propose, be sure you
really do want to marry them Are
you ola enough now? You do not tell
me your ages. but l have lurking
suspicion that you would do we'll to
wait a while longer.

SO he won't think / spend so much. Then
they don't last.
2. Is there any way to keep a man from
poutingf 1t worries me SO much that cry
almost every day. and cannot sleep.
1. Every wife should have share Of
her husbands income for household
and personal expense. Marriage is
partnership A wife is not a servant,
to be paid wages grudgingiy. What
the share is depends entirely on the
income, the size of the family, and it's
way of living.
Make out a budget, based on past
experience. Include your personal
needs. Talk over the budget with
your husband, and then come to an
agreement about money, so that the
question will not be coming up for
ever after.
2. Crying certainly will not keep
your husband from pouting. Instead,
ignore the pouting. 1t is childish. A
pouting husband sometimes needs the
kind Of treatment you would give a
child

Financial Troubles

spend on lunches and the automobile for two

Do you think evey wife should have an
Allowance About what should she be al
lowed for her own personal user
My husbands salary is $3.50 a month. I
want him to give much to run the
house and buy my clothes.
He doesn't like to spend much on clothes.

ge proposals.

why shouldn't we propose?" some
of them ask defiantly. why should
we sit back and wait for the men?"
Why, indeed? There could be only
one reason-custom.
But, man is ever the pufsuer. He
likes to do his own counting; or, at
least, to think he is doing it. In real
ity, woman does a great deal of the
wooing, as rule; but she does it with
such subtlety that the man does not
suspect.
The actual proposing, however, she
leaves to him. If woman. is clever,
she has no need for Leap Year. And
if she is not, her proposal would do
her no good anyway.
