Almost every day some young woman
wishes TO know whether her frances
salary of $25, or $50. or 500 week Is
sufficient TO get married on. The very
fact that some girls are no more GER
tain about marrying ON 500 a week
than others are about $25 shows the
disparity among scales of living.
No salary can be arbitrarily decided
upon as being amply sufficient for all
the needs Of marriage. When a young
woman is accustomed TO living at a
rate Of S35 a week and a young man is
accustomed to having his $50 a week all
to himself marrying on his salary is
not as easy as less fortunate young peo-
pie might think.
Almost every marriage demands sac
rificeS of both wife and husband If
they are unwilling to make them they
cannot get married on his salary, what
ever its amount. It is not the amount
of his salary that matters most. 1t Is
their Willingness to get along on it
that counts.
It Is undeniably true that a salary Of
$25 week or less will hardly suffice to
obtain the bare necesSaries OF pres
ent-day marriage. No matter how
many sacrifices may be made, there is
a definite limit to what SIS week can
accomplish. Perhaps few couples In
country districts have struggled sue
cessfully on it, but 1t necessitates a
pinched life at best.
Before determining what salary VIII
suffice, young couples should decide
upon the manner in which they desire
to live. 1t Is not difficult to estimate
the costs of living as they viii be &C
cording TO that manner OF life. II the
husbands salary can supply the means
for the desired standard Of living there
