ftllTlllL UTE '?

furnishings of our modest home,

families. Will you give me your advice, plcnscl‘ WIFE-TO-BE.

Answer: _

You nrc quite right. my child. in saying that the matter of the wife's spending riinlses no end of argument in the family circle. It tremcnts it togctlivi- o: it brt-aks it up as often as any other one thing.

When a man gets married he literally endows his Wife with 8'11 hi5 worldly goods. and what she does with these determines, in ninety-nine (‘ll s out of a hundred, whether at middle age he will be prosperous Oi‘ bnnkrupI. If the wife is prudent and thriftyt and helps her husband save his money; he is sure to get along if he has any ability at all. This is so well recognized n fuct that banks take the wife into consideration in determining a man's credit.

and a spcncicr, unless he is a financial genius he can tnake no headway against her. No matter wit-at he earns he can never save a cent and so. when opportunity knocks at his door, he has not the golden key with which to open it. Often the possession of Just a few hundred dollars would give a mun a chance to go into some venture that would make him a fortune. bu: he has to see the chance go by laccause his wife couldn't resist a new chess or hat 0r giving a finer party than Mrs. Jones.

More than that, nothingtakcs the ltcart out of a man like having an

extravagant wlic. It pnraLvrcs his energy and kills his ambition to ‘know that he is sltcivlliu; his ltfc a slave to mllllllPYS and caterers and furniture (lealcrs and so on. Alany a wife breaks hcr husbands heart and literally kills him with her bills.

S0 if you get offon your saving foot when you marry, you will get off on your right fool, and ifvyou help your husband to save you will make yourself a real htlpmatc to hlin instead of being a niillstone around his neck, as an extravagant wife is.

And I most earnestly" advise you to pass up the elaborate trousseau and put your money in furnishing your home instead 0f in a lot of iiummcry for winch you will have no use. Good taste and good judg- ment alike bid you buy only the clothes that you will need and that will be appropriate to the way in which you will live in your new" home.

Most girls when they go to buy their trousseaux seem to take leave of their senses and to labor uncle-z‘ a temporary delusion that they are Miss Million Bucks going to be led to the altar by Mr. Croesus and that they arc going to live in a palace and have French maids to take care of

' s and that they are going to spend every evening at balls and . id their days at country clubs. Whereas, in reality, they are llt('l'\‘i§' Alnntic Smith and Sntlu- Jones, who have only a little money

them a .d who are liuillg to nno-ry‘ poor lads and do their own cooking and washing.

that will stand cu: life, they get a lot of and a lot of fussy evening gowns for which they never have any use. So don't be one of these nitu Just reflect that the stores will still be doing business after you are lllflll d and that styles change and you will always be able get new frocks ii you have the money. Buy only what you can afford and what you will really need and don't go in dcbt. You will never regret the nloney‘ you did not waste. DOROTHY DIX.

Dear Miss Dix-My husband is very good and kind and generous and considerate to me. lie is never cross and lets me have my own way about nearly‘ everything. I love him dearly, and the only thing that stands in tho way of our happiness is that lic is homely. Now I know that he looked that way wlun we were married, but I tlidnt mind. I don't yet for mystilf but f‘\'t‘l'_\‘\\'llCl'C we go together pcoplc stare at him and smile as it he wcrc sonic amusing spectacle.

The general public doesn't care two raps whether a man is hand- some or ilgly. It doesn't notice whether n man has a. Grecian profile or a pug nose or Wllfitilfll‘ he has seullul orbs or eyes like a burnt hole in a ‘ blanket. Doubtlcss ii. is a personal satisfaction to a man to know that.

he looks like n sheik, but all that the remainder of the world asks of hlin is merely to be clean und dress reasonably well. In fact, if the public at large has any opinion about a man's pulchritude it is rather prejudiced zigainst the male beauty. It coitsiders him a kind of softy nml a little weak in the uppcr story and prefers a rough and rugged specimen whose mind is on more important subjects than his own looks.

Certainly the homely man is preferable to the beauty as a. husband. Ilc isn't. so vain. He isn't. so selfish. He admires his wile instead of ex- pecting her to admire him. He doesn't grab off all the clothes money for lulnsttlf and his wife doesn't have to fight off the silly women who are always flattering and flirting with handsome men.

So, my dear womcn, try to use your head a little and see what a 1.11m- you have in your homely husband. Quit being morbid about what other people think about him. If he looks good to you, what does it matter how he looks to others? pomyrgy DIX,
