friends deluge her with advice about
how to make a success Of marriage,
but no one ever hands out any tips
to the poor, ignorant, trembling youth
who is about to take the fatal step.
Yet bridegrooms need chart to steer
by through the stormy sea OF wedlock
far more than do brides, for every
girl has been looking forward to get
ting married ever since she climbed
out of her kiddie coop and Is more
or less prepared for it, while every
man has thought that somehow he
was going to escape it, and it takes
him unawares.
Now the first bit Of advice that
would give the young husband is to
get of on the right food in marriage
BY the time the honeymoon has set
the husbands status is settled in the
household. He is either the cock OF
the walk or q poor henpecked crea-
ture who jumps when his wife speaks
to him, and nothing ever alters this
situation as long as he lives. Also.
the first year determines whether the
wife Is going to pull her weight in the
boat and be a good working partner
or "a drone and a parasite.
60 BEGIN your married life by
~ treating your wife as a regular
human being whom you expect to act
like a grown-up, intelligent woman
Don't baby her. Don't spoil her.
Don't let her run you in debt r.
starting off your new life together in
a style that you cannot afford. Don't
put UP with bad housekeeping and
wastefulness.
Be a sport about marriage. Take
it on the chin and like it. You mads
the bargain. Stick to it withous
whining. OF course, it isn't all that
your fondest fancy painted, but Moth
ing in life Is. Nothing looks 50 en-
trancing at close range as 1t did
through the show window. Don't
be critical of your wife. You picked
her out. She is your taste. And II
she doesn't measure up to your ideals
the fault Is yours, not hers. You
should have used more judgment In
your selection.

.DoN'T cut out all of the love-
~ making at the altar. Marriage
doesn't cure a girl Of her love for
sweets as clerking in candy store
does. Before you married Evelina
there were dozens Of boys who wanted
to date her and who told her how
beautiful and wonderful she was. Now
you've got to pinchhit for the whole
crowd and, unless you keep up the
soft talk and the jollying, marriage Is
going to seem as fiat and unappe-
tizing to her as q dinner without
dessert. The man who wants his wife
to eat out Of his hand has to keep
sugar IN 1t.
Don't expect your bride TO b the
kind Of wife your mother u. It

has taken your mother 20 years to
learn how to manage your father and
run q house on oiled bearings. Don't
berate your wife because she can't
make bread like your mother makes.
Neither can you make dough like her
father.
Don't think you can combine two
estates in life and be both bachelor
and married man. 1t can't be done.
You can't be both bound and free.
Unless you are ready to settle down
and concentrate on one woman, don't
marry. Don't take a girl out of a
happy home or away from q good
job to torture her by your philandering
and infldelities.
nONT be mean to your wife about
money. Don't raise rows over the
bills. You knew before you married
that family was an expensive luxury.
Take the rap and pay up and shut
up. Give your wife fair allowance
for running the house and for her
own personal expenses and make her
keep within it. That will save rows
and hard feelings.
Bear in mind that lovely woman
may have the face of an angel, but
she has the disposition of o mule.
You can beguile her into going any,
where. but you can't drive her an
inch. Fault-f1nding will get you
nowhere, but praise will get you any,
where. If you want your wife to be
saving, don't bat her extravagance.
Sing songs about her thrift. If you
want her to be a good housewife,
laud her domesticity. Every wife tries
to live up to what her husband thinks
she Is.
In a word, when you marry, treat
your wife as you would a junior
partner. Train her as you would
new stenographer. Try as hard to
find her good points as you would
that Of a new automobile that you had
bought. And put as much thought
and intelligence into trying to make
your marriage q success as you do
in making a success Of your career,
and all will be well.

BY EMILY POST.

YEAR MRS. POST: have noticed
lately in the houses Of some of
our young married friends that the
table linen and the towels are all en-
broidered with the husbands last in
itlal. Isn't it the custom any more to
mark household linen with the brides
maiden initials?
Answer--Because Of the obvious in
convenience Of having the linen and
| silver Of the Smith family all marked
with a u" for Jones, it has become
an almost universal custom to mark
all linen as well as silver with an IS"
| On the other hand, If the bride pre-
fers to follow the fashioned Gus
tom 1t is equally correct to have every.
thing marked with ~"
DEAR MRS. POST: I am a business
woman and in 8 little while will
also be married woman. I have no.
ticed that so many married women In
business remain Miss so and so. Would
you suggest that call myself Miss in
the office and over the business tele-
phone? And should continue to sign
checks as 1 always have and keep my
charge accounts in my own name, too?
Answer-According to best modern
usage, the business woman who has
already, let us say, made a name for
herself-or at least started to make a
name for herself-as Miss Blank, con.
tinues to call herself Miss Blank in
business and Mrs. Jones in private life.
In other words, she plays two roles
and divides them as seems most prac-
teal to her.
DEAR MRS. POST: May I ask a
- further question about note paper?
In a recent column you suggested hav-
ing note paper marked with the street
address only, omitting city and State.
had always understood that it was
incorrect to separate the component
parts Of an address. II I have note
paper marked with the street ad-
dress only. where should the city and
State be written? street address
alone is not very Informative, is it?
Answer-For business letters or
when writing to strangers or to friends
far away with whom you rarely cor
respond, it is always best to use paper
marked with your complete address.
But when ordering paper intended for
local social purposes only, the street.
address, embossed. not printed, and
without city or State. Is correct. This
is particularly true of New York and
other great cities. In the small cities
and villages it is true that most peo.
pie have their full address stamped,
but these rarely include a street mum.

You and Your
Nations Affairs
Explain This One!
By HARLEY l. LUTZ,
Professor Of Public Finance, Princeton University

The tax on 100000 of adjusted net
income, none Of which Is distributed.
is S20.500. which is equivalent to
composite tax rate Of EOS per cent
Any corporation that withholds its
entire adjusted net income win pay
tax equivalent to this composite
rate.
From one viewpoint, this is bur-
densome extra tax: but II is. after all.
moderate by comparison with the
scale Of tax rates on personal income.
Bearing In mind that the 1896 Reve-
nue. Act made dividend income SUBJ
ject to the normal tax of four per cent
we find that the composite or equiva-
lent rate Of the extra tax which the
corporation must pay. should It dis
tribute none of its earnings. is equiva-
lent to the combined normal and sur
tax rates on taxable personal incomes
Of about $4,000. On any larger
amounts of personal income. the in
dividual stakeholder must pay O
heavier rate of tax than the corpora
ton would pay for him il It distrib-
uted no part of its earnings.
It would seem as II the interest Of
the largest stockholders still lies in
the retention rather than the distribu-
ton of earnings. despite the burden
of the new tax. Yet we find that many
corporations are endeavoring. by de-
claring both regular and extra div
idends, to escape the tax on undis-
tributed profit. They are doing this.
Notwithstanding the fact that such ac-
ton will throw still heavier tax load
on the large stockholders.
The amazing thing Is that these
large stockholders, who are supposed
to control all of the large corpora
tions, have permitted the distribution
of this food of extra dividends. Sure
| ly they can see that IL will mean
heavier taxes for them as individuals,
and surely they do not keenly desire
that outcome.
The situation Is paradoxical, and
it suggests the following query: Can
it be that corporate dividend policy
| is not determined, in the degree as
serted by the Treasury, by references
to the tax advantage of few wealthy
persons? Ii this query is not on the
right track. some one who is really
on the inside should come forward
with the correct explanation.

earnings. All large ana prosperous
corporations are supposed to be con-
trolled by small groups of very
wealthy stockholders, who do not
need all of the income earned by their
companies, so they compel boards Of
directors to withdraw part or all Of
these earnings. Thus the large stock
holders are able to keep down their

The method of dealing with this
form Of so-called tax avoidance that

Of its net income. the tax Is seven
