Answer-You have to deal with
wife according to her folly and if you
have one who has no real interest in
business, no sense of values and no
discretion you cannot treat her as
reasonable human being and make her
q partner.
When I advocated husbands telling
their wives about their business affairs
and discussing their hopes and plans
with them, I had in mind the practical,
commonsense, ambitious woman who
is just as anxious for her husband TO
succeed as he Is himself and who
could be a very real help to him if he
would let her. I felt that the man
was depriving himself Of something Of
value that he might get out Of his
wife's cooperation, and that they
would both be drawn closer together
by having mutual interest and striv-
ing for the same end, and that a
closer companionship would come from
their talking over all their problems
together.
RUT there are no hard and fast rules
for running marriage and max
ing 1t work. The best theories are
wrecked against individual tempera-
ments and limitations, and while, as
a general proposition, it is a good
thing for a husband to tell his wife
about his business, there are many
times When it simply can't be done.
There are women who seem unable
to grasp the simplest business propo-
sition. There are others whose knowl-
edge of their husbands affairs furnish
them with subjects for nagging.
There are still others who blab every
thing. Plenty Of women have lost
their husbands good jobs by telling
Office secrets. Plenty of others have
ruined their husbands credit by telling
that their husbands were in financial
straits.
Obviously a man is a fool to con-
fide his business affairs TO wife, who
is loose tongued or who does not take
real heart interest in what he is
telling her. Also many men refrain
from talking over their business affairs
at home because it brings up all the
unpleasant incidents of the day and
makes them relive all of its worries
and anxietieS, and they want to forget
them in order that they may go back
the next day with their minds re-
freshed and rested so that they may be
better able to grapple with their
problems.
T THINK your idea Of teaching youl
= wife to handle money by giving
her a small amount to invest is a good
one. I have known many extravagant
! wives who became penurious widows
as soon as the money became their
own individual property.
But unless a woman is a natura
born business woman, the wise thing
for her husband to do is to leave hel
whatever money he is going to be-
uueath her in trust so that she cannot
be cheated out of it. or throw it away
Such q woman should have her income
in a monthly check, with the principal
safe from the wolves that feast on
widows. DOROTHY DIX.

Truant Squad Lacks
Means of Providing
Real Incentive.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

THERE is great demand for compul-
sorry education. The adolescent
boys and girls must go to school.
There is no other place for them ex-
cept the street. To school they must
90, But they don't go? Then send
the truant officers after them. Haul
them to court. Hector their dis
tressed fathers and mothers into hys-
terics. Make them go to school no
matter what.
A group of people are kept busy
from morning until night chasing
these rebellious truants who remain
rebellious truants still.
I have an idea about all this. II
seems to me that instead OF putting
al the power of our intelligence and
time and money into the truancy de-
partments Of our schools throughout
the land, 1t would be better to make
the schools sufficiently attractive to
these young people to make them
want to attend.
Would you invite about twice as
many guests If you had room and
service for dinner? Would you invite
them and make no provision for their
entertainment? Insist that they come,
compel them to come. but otter them
nothing but the bare bones OF a meal,
a makeshift chair and hostile greet
ing: You've got to stay here?"
You would not. But that is pre-
cisely what many g. community Is
doing today. Conscience, social ex-
pediency even, forces us to gather IN
the young men and women and make
an attempt to keep them growing in
mind as we'll as body, in character as
well as stature. But nothing forces
us to provide for them once they ap-
pear in the schools.
There is no money, says one in au-
thority, and that seems to settle tnat'
but the truant officer does not know
ANYTHING has been settled and keeps
on chasing young people about the
town, bounding distracted parents,
making work for the clerks and the
courts. If a department OF the COM
munity was engaged in policing its
citizens and doing nothing else you
would begin to think that something
was wrong. Well, something is. These
Young people need activities that have
an appeal to such maturity as they
have reached. 1t is idle to offer them
book lessons they feel no need OF
studying. We must begin with their
preesnt interests and work on from
there.
It is true we need more money. 1t
is also true that we can make better
use OF what we have. We need TO let
60 of certain traditional ideas and
adopt those that the present day de-
mands. These boys and girls need to
have a course Of study adapted to
their stage of growth. They need op-
portunity for choice in the subjects
offered. They need and must have
the discipline of q well-routined day
within the scheme Of these activities.
We need money. But we need above
all else intelligent thought and ad-
ministration in our schools. Other
wise we give unusual exercise to the
truancy squad. I do hate to spend
time and energy and money that way.

would have had II they had come
earlier!
A MOTHER question that frequent
ly arises is that OF smoking
during dinner. Various hoStesSes cope
with this in different ways. Some
have no cigarettes passed before the
salad course, and at that time silver
ash trays are placed on the table.
Others have ash trays and matches
ready at each place, but do not pass
cigarettes until late in the meal.
These two methods have some seri-
Gus disadvantages, I have found. One
is, that in the first case, guests, espe-
cially masculine, are apt to start
smoking anyway. using their own
cigarettes, and, II no ash tray Is
handy, having a dreadful time dispos-
ing of the ashes, to the great risk OF
the tablecloth, and in the second in
stance, encouraged by the presence
of ash trays and matches, they will
start in at once on their own supplies.
and those of their neighborS, creating
great confusion by swapping pack
ages and cases around the table.
After much thought and several
experiments I have decided that the
best system Is this: Have an ash tray
and matches in front Of each plate,
and on them two or three cigarettes,
of various popular brands-three to
each ash tray offers a fair choice.
Then smoking may take place in peace
and orderliness, and, when salad
comes, If more smokes are needed,
additional cigarettes may be passed by
the butler. Cigars, of course, may
never be smoked as long as ladies are
present at the table They are re-
served for the library or the dining
room after the ladies have gone to the
drawing room for coffee.
7 ATER in the evening, after the
gentlemen have rejoined the
ladies, a tray of glasses filled with ice
water or chilled orange juice, may be
passed by the butler or maid, and at
that time the gentlemen may be asked
which more potent beverage they pre-
fer. This is then mixed and brought
to them. At less formal parties, all
the ingredients and glasses with ice
may be set on a low table in cor
ner, and the host himself then min
listers to the wants of the guests.

heart 1 sympathize with the boys and
girls who have had to defer their mar
riages because they could not afford
the price Of wedding ring.
Theirs has been the long-drawn-out
waiting that makes the heart sick, that
turns hope into a mockery and that
robs love Of its fulfllment, and it is
no wonder that under the strain of it
love has so often been killed and
desecrated, that many sweethearts
have quarreled and parted.
MATURE never intended that love
should be dependent on such
sordid consideration as dollars and
cents. And so it is inevitable that the
young people who want to set up their
own homes and rear their families are
bitter over a condition Of affairs that
denies them these normal pleasures
because they have no way of feeding
themselves, much less the children
they might bring into the world.
wish I might say some word Of
cheer TO these youngsters, but l know
no more than they do when We Will

suggest any remedy for their plight.
We are all the victims Of misfortune
that has spared none, and all that we
can do is to endure our lot with what
fortitude we may.
do not believe that the solution Of
the problem is in Government-endowed
marriage It would take more billions
than even Santa Claus possesses to
ring the wedding bells for every love-
lorn boy and girl, and the subsequent
divorces if they found out they had
been mistaken in their feelings. Nor
can I believe that many young Ameri-
cans would want dole marriage, or to
have a family that they had to bring
up on the dole. That is not the spirit
Of our pioneer grandparents. They
married on a shoestring. But they
furnished their own shoestring.

The Old Gardener Says /:

After the delphiniums have
passed their first blooming sea-
son they may be cut down TO
within inches of the ground
and fed heavily with some quick
acting fertilizer like nitrate Of
soda or ammonium sulphate.
Then they will usually produce a
good second crop. If the stalks
are hollow, the openings may be
plugged with mud or perhaps
with little chewing gum to pre-
vent the entrance Of water,
which would be likely to induce
decay. 1t is only fair to say that
some growers do not force a sec
