Straight Talks to Women About Money
BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN
Wages of Divorce.

You will notice from time to time,
that discussion of the pros and cons
Of divorce tends toward a new angle
One Of the latest is to the effect that
women In business are now achieving
economic independence and they need
no longer put up with unhappy unions
Some anti-feminists use this as an ar
gument to condemn employment for
women, especially married women.
Disregarding entirely the rights o.
women TO be happy-and that is con-
stitutional highland their right tc
end unhappy unions, let's look at the
business end Of 1t. Domestic relations
courts report that financial difficulties
are the foundation of the vast ma jority
of matrimonial disasters.
Those difficulties are usually lack OF
ADEQUATE income, Quarrels over its dis
position, charges and countercharges
Of extravaganza, wastefulness and sc
forth. In almost every case IL the wom-
an had an independent source of in
come. all. or nearly all, of the friction
could be eliminated
Those who charge that the working
woman Is earning the wages Of divorce
seem TO be ignoring an important eco.
nomic and social fact. II money is the
cause of the majority of matrimonial
failures, how many OF these failure:
may be avoided where the woman earns
her own subsistence, or at least enough
TO make her independent Of her hus-
bands income?
Some persons seem to resent woman's
growing independence. but, aside from
traditional opinion and age-old preju.
dices, few real arguments Of any forct
have been produced There is no cur.
rent opinion or reason Of serious
value as to why women are no
equally entitled to economic independ
ence as men.
More women enter commercial ant
industrial fields every day and thereb,
make themselves economically indie
pendent In time they may marry. 1
their marriages are not happy ones
and If divorces are sought. shall W
blame their incomes for making releas
possible, or simply find unhappy human
relations the cause?
II is more than likely that independ
ent women may make fTeer choices O
mates and that consequently divorce
among them will diminish rather thal
increase. 1t Is also likely that wit
absorbing interests outside as we'll a
in their homes husband and wife wi
lead fuller and more stimulating live;
Finally, IL seems certain that with eco
nomic independence will come freedor
from many of the financial dispute
that wreck so many homes. The work
ing woman would appear to be earnin
the wages of happiness.

NANCY PACE
Hard Time Costume Party
Easy on Purses.
BY FLORENCE La GANKE.

The girls who belonged to the Good
Taste Club wanted to have a party.
But what kind should 1t be? They
knew they wanted to ask the boys who
stood highest in their favor at the time.
They also knew they wanted to keep
the party inexpensive since their par
ents were still talking about Christmas
bills.
Nancy remembered the fun she had
had when she went to a costume party,
and she realized that these girls were
still in the loving-the- stage.
So she suggested they combine the idea
of hard times with that of costumes.
Her suggestion met with favor.
In the days preceding the party the
girls ranSacked the attics for Summer
clothes, last seasons clothes and even
clothes worn by mother or grandmother
when she was young
Funny hats, tight-waisted dresses,
Summer frocks of yesterday with I'M
even hem lines, and foolish, bedraggled
fox furs, hats worn back from the
forehead we're all seen on the night
of the party. One couple came as
addicts of the Summer miniature golf
craze.
1t had been decided that no boy
could ask for the family car. no taxis
could he hired. The guests walked to
the party or patronized the street cars.

Flowers Like Hawaiian Leis
BY MARY MARSHALL.

These lei-trimmed dresses have made
their appearance among the lovely new
things for Palm Beach wear, but as SC
often happens with things made for the
Southern resorts they have been worn
at home before being packed to GO
South
There is every indication that all sorts
of artificial flowers will be worn extern
sively during the late Winter and early
Spring. There are charming small
nosegays to be worn at the side of the
fur coat collar. There are trim bouton-
nieres designed to be worn with the
smart cloth suits at the Southern re-
sorts, and on evening dresses flowers
are lavishly bestowed.

But he won his case.
After an absence of two years Rep
resentative Weaver of North Caro-
lima, known on the Hill as the friend
of birds, will come back to Congress
next March.
What the genial North Carolina
Representative does not know about
birds is hardly worth knowing. He
understands their habits, can initiate
their calls, and talk to you about them
for hours.
When he was a member of the House
before, it was nothing unusual to see
him wandering through the Capitol
grounds in spare moments "conversing''
with jay birds, black birds, sparrows
and other birds.
He got the bird habit through wan
dering about the hills of North Caro-
lima years ago.

NV Neighbor Says:

Scrubbing brushes will last
twice as long If they are given
an occasional wash in strong
solution of salt and water and
allowed to dry in the open air.
Keep all drinking vessels used
in hen yards and coops clean and
see that they are always filled
with fresh water.
A solution of one small cup
of kerosene to a gallon Of water
makes an excellent spray for rose
bushes infested with pests.
Salt meat requires longer
boiling than fresh. Put it into
cold water, quickly bring to a
boil, then let simmer.
To make tie most of the juices
in roasted fowl. turn the fowl on
its breast, instead of its back,
when roasting. BY doing this
the juices run into the breast
instead of the back, making it
deliciously moist.
Caper dressing is made by add
ing two tablespoons capers, three
tablespoons chopped green pep
pers, two tablespoons chopped
pimento stuffed olives and one
tablespoon of chilli sauce to one
half cup of French dressing. This
dressing blends well with lettuce
or vegetable salads.

Husband and Wife.

1t is not probable that many men
treat their wives with deliberate I'M
fairness in money matters, and yet 1t
is an indisputable fact that the ham
ding of the family income is the
source of more pickering and misunder-
standing between husband and wife
than any other factor encountered in
establishing the home.
1t is very important that every young
couple, starting out in life, arrive at
some practical solution of this impor-
tant problem, and evolve some method
of disbursing the family funds that will
be fair and satisfactory to both. 1t may
be helpful to discuss some of the meth
DDS more generally adopted.
One man turns over a whole pay en-
velope or salary check to his wife Then
he takes back the sum necessary for
personal expenses. and the wife uses
the rest to cover the needs of the
household
Many a salaried professional man
opens a joint checking account on
which he or his wife has an equal right
10 draw.
Some families find it more satisfac-
! tory 70 divide the amount equally, and
Both methods have their advocates.
| When the account is small, there is al
ways danger that one may uninten-
! tionally oVerdraw without the knowl-
edge of the other and business embar-
raSsments may arise. On the other
| hand, 1t may be a convenience in case
| of illness.
| A common practice Is to maintain
charge accounts at the principal stores
| where the family can go and charge
| anything needed, the bills being rem
dered monthly and paid by the hus-
| band. Under this system women have
been known to steal or gamble to get
a little ready cash TO save themselves
from humiliating circumstances. A
woman may even be at her wits end
to procure street car fare!
A better method is the allowance sys-
tenn. though many women object to
this, because 1t "smacks" of salary.
Some salaried men pay all the house.
hold bills and give their wives what
they consider a reasonable sum each
week or month.
Others say: Il earn the money and

Part Of 1t goes for having a good

the rest they hand over to their wives
