LOVE AND $1 A WEEK
GIVES THIS ADAM IN
HIS GARDEN OF EDEN
Prospective Bride Tells How
Two May Live on Small
Income and Be Supremely
Happy.
If ft mah makes flS a week and his w)fo
permits him to have onc-flftcenth of It,
that Is to sny a whole dollar, for spend
ing money, should ho not consider hfm
lf a lucky creature?
Adam McConncll does. At least, Adam
Is going to. 'Ho' hasn't marHed yet, but
the dato has been set and tho br(de
chosen and the contents. of tho weekly
pay envelope partitioned off.
Ycrtetday Adam and ills fiancee, Miss
Osrtrudr Fitspatrlck', 1317 Clementine
street, applied to the Marriage License
Bureau for the document to put the
State's sanction on the ceremony which
Is to tnko plnco on February 3.
An Irate prospective mother-in-law,
Mrs. Annie McConnell, met them at the
Bureau, "and In nor frantic efforts to pre
vent tho license from being Issued said
things which mado. Miss Fitzpatrlck de
clare this morning "that an Interfering
mother-in-law Is the sourest lemon In the
garden of-love."
ENTER MOTHEn-IN"-LAW.
"Sho snld," continued tho girl, "that
Adam mado $7 a Week and that ho was
only 18 years of ago. She thought they'd
stop hlnvfr'om marrying mo. Sho didn't
toll tho truth.. IIo'.b 22, and he makes $15
ovcry week of his llfo. We can' live fine
on that. Adam Is going to get n wholo
dollar' every woek for spending monoy."
Deduct tho whole dollar' wh'lch tho
Iticky Adam Is to- get for his very own
pin-money and $H remain with' which to
navigate tho marrlago ship.
"It's a very easy matter," said Miss
Fltzpatrlqk, "for two people who iovo
each other very much to ,Hve, on (IS a
week. We've got It all planned out."
Don't laugh, .cynical reader, for little
Miss Qcrtrudo's blue eyes wero moist
witn enthusiasm, and the childish un
sophlstlcdtfon which shone In her face
gave tho. lie 'to the 20 years to. .which sho
confesses. Furthermore, 'she was putting
the finishing touches on her white satin
wedding dresB, and, taken all In all. It
was a very pretty' scone. Indeed.
THE FAMILY BUDGET.
"Many couples marry on less than
,that," she, confided to a blase roporter,
"but, of course, they couldn't go house
keeping like we nro going to do.- Wo
aro going to rent a house for tU . a
month. Lot's , see, that will bo about
$3.60 a, week Just for rent. Then . I
thought that wo ought to spend about- JS
a wenk for food. This Is a big sum, I
know, but men eat nn awful lot and my
man does, too.
"With Adnm's dollar that makes J12.50
and only leaves us nbout J2.BQ for every
thing else. I suppose by the time wo
pay for coal and gas there won't be
much left for clothes, but we're going
to be happy Just the same."
Of course, thero might bo sqmo prac
tical . persons In the world who wonder
how. .one 'can think of happiness when It
Is very obvious that the only cream tho
morning's coffee will .contain will .be very
skimmed, skimmed ,mllk, and the' only
pleasure In tho weekly' calendar will bn
a trip around the corner to, the "movies,"
but "in the oplploh of Miss" Gertrude
Fitzpatrlck llfo at the present moment,
at $15 a week for two, presents a very
rosy aspect.
