- ==j|l Life's Problems ;Are Discussed By MRS. WIUSOX WOODROW If I were so minded I could write ! a book, compiled from the letters I receive, on the "Model Husband, His Darker Side." I always did doubt him. but 1 , never know how well founded my suspicions were #ntil 1 began to glean from the various unknown cor- I respondents the details of what j might be called his hearthstone manners. There is such a thing as being too j good. One poor woman writes me I that her husband has on public ex- i hibition all the virtues known to man. Every one congratulates her 011 having secured such a prize, but in spite of her efforts to seem enthu siastic on such occasions, she can; only respond in a half-hearted, luke warm sort of way because back in her mind there lurks the knowledge . that when he comes home in the evening he always enters the house via the kitchen, where he pauses to : inspect the cupboard, garbage pail, j refrigerator, etc., and to carefully j interrogate the cook on the subject j of the day's expenditures and the 1 manner in which the mistress of the j house has spent her time, and I whether or not she has been guilty! of entertaining any of her friends. The writer wonders if there tsi something wrong with hier, that she 1 tails in appreciating this treasure atj the valuation the world puts upon: him. All I can say in answer Is that if there is something wrong with her | there must also be with me. for I am in the same unregenerate class as herself.

There is a deep instinctive belief j in every woman's heart that since • "man may range the court, camp! j church, the vessel and the mart," it! 1 is not within his sphere to bring his ; powers of business organization to i bear upon the home. Another woman writes me: "I have been married about twelve years and at the time of my marri age I was making a fairly good salary, and of course bought as I choose. Going to business 1 did not realize the amount of clothes I need I at home and I always dressed very ! plainly. My husband has a steady j income of three thousand five hun j dred dollars a year and always J makes commissions of at least a thousand more. "When we were first married I i did all my own work, bought only what clothes were absolutely neces sary and was very often rebuked by my friends for not looking better. 1 also helped my husband in his work in order to push him ahead: in fact I am still doing office work : for him. j "But the eteranl argument is mon- ; ey. My husband is willing to live In j •ja nice apartment, he runs a car for ' his sole benefit and allows me eigh- ! | teen dollars per week for my pin | money, newspapers, magazines and |the table. He thinks two hundred; 1 ; and fifty dollars per year is enough j 1 j for any woman's clothes. I contend ; .! that it is not. ' "He is willing to take me out in j 1 the evening if there is a chance of : playing cards, but he absolutely re- ! fuses to sit and listen to music and ! conversation. He also refuses to go to dances. X am young and feel that I am to go at least once or twice a year. "1 am perfectly willing to go back i to work and support myself, but he also refuses on the ground that the people will think he can't support ' his wife. I can't stand any longer; i this pulling both ways. The matter cannot be thrashed out by talking, j as he states his side and refuses to hear mine. What shall I do? How much do you think a woman.is real ly entitled to out of an income as above? We have no children." In reply 1 can only state principles. Marriage is a contract entered in ito by two people. The husband earns 1 the money, the wife is supposed to ! disburse the necessary amount in the ; maintanence of the home. If they are people of ordinary business sense they first decide how much they wish to spend on their living ex penses. Then if they are prudent they save a certain amount. The remainder should be divided equally I between them so that each may ; meet his own personal expenses and , save, invest or spend as he chooses. In this case where the wife was and still is a self-supporting woman, ! for her husband to impose upon her ! the restrictions he does in regard to I her time, her amusements and her J spending is absurd and unfair. He j is evidently imbued with the med ] iaeval idea that his wife is his prop ! erty, a chattel, and should be con i tented to submerge herself in his profound selfishness. The day for ! that is past, I wish some of my readers would write and tell me just what amount | they think is proper for a woman ■to spend on her clothes, her hus j band's income being the sum given above.

"Yes, it's raining, and you'd bet ter stay in the house and take care of that cold. I've had time enough helping to knock U out of you." Helen left her seat at the break fast table and wandered to the win dow. "I wonder if it's going to rain all day," she said disconsolately, as she gazed down into the rain-swept street. Warren, who was struggling into his overcoat, remarked, not over-, I good-naturedly, "I suppose you're ! starting to worry about to-night." j "Well, I do want to look nice. i You know, it's going to be quite a | dressy party. It's Lieutenant Gris ' corn's last night." "Not full dress'." "No, Warren, of course not, but j I did want to wear my new crepe." "Well, wear the new crepe and j bundle up well. But for heaven's I sake don't get yourself up in that I cape of yours. Of all the impracti cal things 1 ever saw, that's the limit!" Helen kissed him goodljy without replying. She was still hoping that the weather would change so that she could look as well as she had planned to. Just to wear the blue dress without any accessories and to have to wear her old tweed coat would be heartbreaking. Anyway, she would hope for the best. Every few minutes all day until it was time to get ready for the dinner she kept running to the win dow. At 5 o'clock it was sUll rain ing, although the rain was not com ing down as hard as it had been. Warren, breezing in at 5.50 and be ginning to get his own things ready and to run the water for his bath, remarked that it had stopped rain ing. "But the streets are terrible." he finished, "and you be sure to wear rubbers and your heavy coat." j "But, Warren, if it isn't raining, | why can't I wear the cape. I hate j that old coat." "That's right,. sacrifice • your | heaith for a little pride," he scoffed. "But it isn't raining, and you said it wasn't a bit cold." "All right, wear the cape," he conceded, "but don't you dare stir out of this house without rubbers." Helen ruminated as she finished I dressing. She stole to the window j when Warren was out of the room and already the wind was beginning to dry the streets. By the time they were readj' to start the streets would be in good condition, quite good enough to her to wear her oxfords without rubbers. She decided to go yithout rubbers, which she loathed and to say nothing to Warren about it. "Got your rubbers on?" he queried when they -were ready to go. "Oh. come on. Warren, I'm all right." Helen returned evasively, and Warren, thinking that she meant the words as an answer, said no more. "It will be just a nice walk," he Heiress to $60,000 Works as Saleslady Kansas City, Mo.—"Stripes, Light weight." The stout woman spoke crisply .unaware that the pretty young woman behind the silk hose counter at a local establishment was one of the heirs to an estate of $60,- 000 and that in the back of her twenty-two-year-old brain were • half-formed plans for the future which did not include the selection of Spring stocks of silk hose for a woman in a rush. ! • Whether the purchaser would I have spoken less crisply had she known this fact is a matter for con jecture. The blonde head of the de mure young salewoman bent over green and purple stripes and quiet grays as if all her world held only the silk-threaded stockings and she listened to the objections and argu ments and indecisions of the stout woman with unusual attention. For soon after Miss Ruth Johnson learned that her grandfather, Henry Johnson of Danville, 111., had made her one of the heirs to his $60,000 estate she returned to her work be hind the silk hose counter. "It just seemed the natural thing to do," she said. And so far as Miss Johnson is concerned for the time being, the only immediate change in her mode of living will be a change of name. WOMAN MAKES BOXI'IRK OF GERMAN WORKS OXCE LOVED Wilmington. Del.—As a result of the bonflre built by Mrs. William E. Day of 137 West Twenty-ninth street in her backyard, lives of Kaiser Wllhelm, Von Hindenburg, the Crown Prince and other Hun no tables have gone up in smoke. For years Mrs. Day has been col lecting an elaborate library, but to day she applied a match to all works pertaining to Germany or Germans. "I only wish I could have had the Kaißer near that Are," she said to night. remarked, as they emerged into the street, and a cold wind caught Hel en's light draperies, which were only slightly concealed beneath the flow ing cape. She felt a little misgiving as she felt the dampness strike through the thin soles of the new shoes, but naturally said nothing. It wasn't until they had arrived at their destination and were being greeted by their hostess that Helen realized that her pumps were really wet through. Of course it was too late to say anything then, and she sim- j ply sat through the evening of din ner and cards, with the conscious- I ness that her throat was beginning I to feel sore, and her cold, which she had nearly thrown off, was | tightening again. Helen and Warren left with Mr. and Mi;s. Stevens, and because Mrs. I Stevens could not find her extra rub- j ber, and Warren and Mr. Stevens ! were helping to look for it, the at- | tention of both men was drawn to i Helen's silk clad ankles and her thin I low shoes. "You don't mean to say that you j didn't wear rubbers over those thin pumps?" asked Mrs. Stevens, scan- ! dalized. Helen flushed scarlet, and as War- I ren looked at her irately her eyes fell before the anger in his. "Well, of all the fool stunts," he stormed. "I asked you before you left if you had them on and you said you had." "I didn't," Helen returned, "I told you not to worry about me. Besides, I'm all right." "It's enough to give you pneu monia, and for my part, I think it would serve you right." "Well, my rubbers leak in the toes, and I didn't want to ruin my shoes," Helen explained, with scarlet cheeks. She was beginning to feel really ill and. terrified at Warren's suggestion of pneumonia, knew that he was quite right in saying she de served to have it.
