To be thrifty is a precept she learns; with her alphabet. To be discreet in conversation about her possessions is an- other. Prudence, taste, and natural! intelligence help her to get good value; Meu. K. Hall Brathon for what she spends. Few Frenchwomen Me & Mrs LW. Back are dependent on their husbands for the He. Clifford money they spend on themselves. The Hra T. W. Cochrane system of the dot has its advantages, and Mr O.C Boehringer this is one of them. The general rule in Mr. T. Coley a French household is that husband and wife share running expenses and pay for their own personal needs out of their private purse.
A wholesome brake ou a woman's spending opportunities in France is the custom of paying ready money for every thing. This custom makes it difficult. for a woman of small means to run into debt. Standing accounts are rare, and few husbands have, the habit of saying:- Buy what you need and have the bill sent in to me. Such a condition of things would please neither husband nor wife it is too vague, too uncertain. The marriage contract provides for what is considered to be a fair division of their respective fortunes, but the actual spend- of what is allotted to each belongs to the one and does not concern the other. Few Frenchmen know what their wives spend on dress. Tradition has it that French- women are so clever in these matters that they can dress as the wives of millionaires on almost nothing a year. French husbands may, or may nor, "be lieve this pleasant compliment, but they have the satisfaction of seeing their wives well dressed, and so long as they do not have to pay the bills they ask no ques tions.

Generally speaking, the Frenchwoman is not extrevagant because of this early training in the practical value of money, and because the law of the country and the customs of society so provide for her that she has money of her own from the day of her birta.

A Frenchwoman is not to be tempted Mr Colthine by rubbish or lured by ostentation, Few Mr. D. Danby Frenchwomen have surroundings which HrA. W Batican Mr W. A. tell, the extent of their fortune. When stace they buy, they buy with intelligence and HrGT Eveleigh and not on an emotional impulse. They Mr & Mrs G, H. Eliott know what they want and they know MR Farrant what they have to spend. Moreover, they are careful to fix that amount at less than they can afford. This practical trait in the national character runs through all classes. The Frenchwoman has fewer servants than she can afford. The servants themselves put wages before comfort and liberty. As the wife of tradesman, a Frenchwoman is content to live at his shop, because she likes to keep control of the books. The farmer's wife in keenly alive to the necessity of taking Ashton her share in the active running of the Mr & Mr B G, Birch farm.
