"Of course she must always have some
sort of fur coat. Hudson seal is the very
cheapest fur, and you can't buy mod
crate one for much less than three hun
dred. Her husband cannot afford to pay
seventy or a hundred for a frock, not
twice or three times his weekly wage; so
let's call thirty-five the top price he can
pay. But seventeen dresses-and in the
old days Pearl had many more than seven
teen-timeS thirty-five makes five hundred
and ninety-nine dollars a year for frocks
and cheap at that. Next hats. A girl
who makes three hundred and fifty a week
can afford herself French models. But
to-day if she spends ten dollars on a hat,
it's more than she can afford. And fifS
teen hats year come to one hundred and
fifty dollars.
Then pretty little neglgees, for any
girl of the theatre likes to lock nice in
her informal moments. As the wife of
thirty five dollar a week man, Pearl
couldn't really afford ten dollars for
substantial corduroy breakfast coat, nor
five for blanket bathTobe. Three-dollar
silk stockings are not the best in hosiery,
yet six pairs of these would come to eiSh-
teen. But where is the girl who can get
through year on six pairs? And fifty
dollars year for underwear is danger
ously low, and hundred dollars for
Spring coat, and another hundred for

Brooklyn boy on $35 a week net, and,
would you believe it, given up the stage,
"She says that she never knew what
real happiness meant until she married
Bob and started to live with his family
and to help with the housewOrk in that
little Flatbush house. But just wait till
the novelty wears off and about that time
her clothes will wear out. She will come
back as surely as person with an aching
tooth will eventually go to the dentist
Wait till the figures begin to sink into
her head You can't beat arithmetic.
''Here is a hopeful boy who thinks he
can take care of a $3.50 Broadway dancer
on $35 week-10 per cent of what she
was earning and spending on herself. 1t
can't be done. She thinks she is going
to make $3.50 go ten weeks for two in
stead of one week for just herself. She
is going to remember that she had $50
every day of the week to spend on.herself
and that $3.50, which is her half of her
husbands So a day, is going to look like
well, Just what it is. When the baby
comes, it will cut her share to $t1.662s
per week, or a little over $1.50 a day.
"The more you look at it the crazier it
gets. Now let's figure up list of things
my Pearl couldn't do without and even
pretend to herself that she was happy
And let's have mercy on this Just a Brook
lyn boy and make the list modest by
comparison with what Pearl has been

But finally she babe him goodby And
| was bit sorry. But still, she was doing
very well by herself, and at least it in
Dictated cool little head that could not
be talked into abandoning her career.
How little knew. 1t wasn't three weeks
after she sent that nice man away that
she attended Brooklyn party and met
Bob Reed.
81 felt something was wrong, and at
last heard and asked who he was. She
said apologetically that he was lust a
Brooklyn boy, but | did not like the
dreamy look in her eye, so | asked how
much Sthis boy was making per week and
was informed that his salary was S45 a
week. She didn't mention tina the
court had put ten-dollar-a-week mort
gage on this $45 for .alimony to his first
wife.
at seemed unnecessary to point out
that his salary would not keep her in
shoes and hats and that she could no more
marry that boy than rabbit But | did
tell her and Pearl did not dispute me.
She couldn't, and she agreed not to see
him any more. The boy telephoned once
or twice and ! answered. After a while
he stopped and | stopped worrying.

thing that could happen to a girl except

Total for an utterly economical
wardrobe for a girl who has


wardrobe for a girl who has
been Broadway favorite. $780,
IAN amazingly eXtravagant sum for a
thirty-five-d ollar-a-week man, yet Just
barely what she might be contented with.
But let us figure again. Fifty-two times
thirty-five week makes eighteen hundred
and twenty dollars-Mr. Reeds salary.
Which means that after Mr. Reed has
bought his wife this economical thirteen
hundred-and- sixty ne-dollar wardrobe, he
will have just four hundred and fifty
nine dollars left to pay the rent and buy
the food and go to the dentist and consult
the doctor and drop his aims in the poor
box and pay for violets and theatre parties
for his wife, who's been used to them.
"Four hundred and fifty-nine dollars
year surplus to live on means thirty-eight
dollars month, or nine and a half week.
to keep soul and body together on and to
take your pleasure on. Why, the idea is
ridiculous. Nobody could do it on nine
and half a week. Any Follies girl, let
alone any featured dancer on Broadway,
spends more than this weekly at the
beauty parlor. Again, just consider the
expenses of an evening out. Well, sup
pose they go out just one night-not in
the style to which she is accustomed, but
modestly, economically.
1.-TWO seats in the first balcony, for in
stance-Mr. Reed would hardly take his
wife to the peanut gallery-what would
such a night cost him? Dinner for two
would scarcely be less than ten dollars, if
they went somewhere where they could
dance. The theatre tickets would be at
least three-thrty each. Violets for Pearl
even without an orchid nesting in the
centre-would be another five dollars. A
taxi home to PARKWAY Flatbush, where the
little frame cottage waits, would be at
least five more. And if they wanted to
do bit of dancing afterwards, there's an
other ten dollars, making the total thirty
six-thirty for an evening, in which they
rode one way in the subway. Thirty-six-
sixty-one dollar and sixty cents more
than the weekly stipend. The situation is
impossible. 1t is ridiculous. If it wasn't
my own daughter it would be funny"
And what does the little bride say about
it? Not one word, except that she loves
her husband and is very happy and much
worried that she might be quoted as say
ing something that would displease her
husbands relatives-she who could run
over to New York and make more money
than all of them put together.
Mother Howell and all Broadway admit
that love is a wonderful thing, fearful and
wonderful. But will it last? If it does,
mother and a lot of other very wise people
will have to admit that they are all wrong

First of all, there used to be a French
count Every night at the New Amster-
dam he sent her note in orchids. She
kept the flowers, but passed the notes to
me. We looked him up. He was genu-
Inc count, sure enough, but he hadn't the
means of, say, one of our substantial sau-
sage men from Chicago.
What shall I do, mammal the child
asked me.
''Speed him on his way advised As
for me, I've never really fancied a title
for an American girl, not since Consuelo
Vanderbilt. And certainly a girl in
first-class Broadway show should expect
to marry at least as well as a Fifth ave-
nue. heress. So | advised my daughter
to give him up, and she did, like good
child. But still the suitors pressed, and
always had the scrutiny of them. Among
the nearly suitable there were, naturally,
flock of pleasant young men, whose
modest five or ten thousand a year was
laughable to girl with Broadway expec-
tations.
$50 ] sorted them out, and answered
the telephones and the letters myself. I'd
reply that my daughter was in bed or
bored or busy, just to shoe the unlikely
ones off. She was still in her teens and
doing well; she didn't need to worry. So
| settled the hash of Western cattle men
and sudden Florida millionaires and bar
ons of beef from the Argentine, But over
one we hesitated.
He was a millionaire from upstate
Cattle ranches, also, out West. He gave
us his photograph astride broncho, in
Wild West riding regalia and a jewelled
saddle. And he followed Pearls company
to New York, but he paid his compliments
to me. He had sense, that boy. He
knew | arranged things for my daughter.
Just as you protect her. Also her mother.
No, will never leave her mother out

lady had come along faster ~than
Jack Dempsey or Paul Berienbach,
and her watchful manager saw no
danger of a knockout, but it was
on its way.
While Mamma Howell was in
vestigating the health, habits and
income of the mine owners from
the West and the sugar growers
from the South and the mortgage
on the Englishman'S family es-
tates, what was being done with
that $3.50 week which the
mother-manager had gotten into
daughters contract? Like the
prudent business woman that she
was, Mrs. Howell had declared no
dividends for herself, but put the
money all back into the property.
