In like manner, no wife likes to

subject to constant inquiry and criti-

with values to be In an excellent posi-
ton to spend judiciously and wisely
Extravaganza is hardly possible on the
allowance OF the average wife. and a
certain independence in spending is es-
sential TO successful household financ-
ing.
II is not to be thought for q mo-
ment that matter OF mutual concern
Is TO be decided by either husband or
wife depending upon whom has the
money to lay out Nor Is 1t to be
thought that either husband or wife
should refuse to listen to or heed the
counsel OF the other. Both may bene-
1T from the opinion and expressed
judgment of the other. However inde-
pendence in thought and action will
not only promote good feeling but en-
gender respect as well. It will avoid
the friction caused by meddling, and
interference. In order to develop re-
sponsibility in wife. she must be
made responsible, and that Is only done
by trusting her to perform her duties
we'll and wisely. Initial mistakes should
not discourage the fostering OF inde-

Straight Talks TO Women About Money

Probably few wives or husbands are
provoked by anything more than a
mate who tries to dictate the spending
Of the others fund TO him. Most OF
US dislike 10 tolerate another's inter-
ference In our affairs regardless of his
motives. 1t Is easy to criticize and easy
TO advise. and often a combination OF
the two will promote an acidulous feel
ing between husband and wife.
In regarding the money of the house
hold as mutual concern not a few
wives overstep their privileges and die
tate. or strive 10. just how their hus-
bands shall spend the share allotted
to them.
Such an attitude engenders lack
OF mutual respect 1t is divesting a
man Of privilege which all but few
men are loath TO give up, and 1t Is an
assertion Of superiority OF Judgment
which will be resented
In most households the man earns
the money that Is available by the dint
Of his industry, and he does not well
come therefore the dictation OF his wife
as to the disposition OF his fruit of
toll We recognize that In some homes,
however. the man has been so SUBJ
jugated that he consents 10 anything.
We wonder. however. whether this con-
dition is for the best OF either man or
wife
