False Assumptions. The margin must not be too close. The thoughtful husband is sure to spend some portion of his pocket-money on pleasure or little comforts for his wife. It may be just an evening at the pic- tures, or a box of chocolates, and a bunch of flowers.
Wives too often make the mis- take of assuming that a man does not need much if he simply goes straight to and from work and has few outside interests. But it galls a man to have to appear short In the presence of collegues or friends. Or if he has to ask for an extra sixpence for a few more smokes. The husband on his part," especially if he does not greatly concern himself with home affaira, is much inclined to under- estimate the cost of housekeeping.
It is wise to have a friendly understanding as to how the wages are to be apportioned. Of course, there are husbands who are, able to preserve peace at home by treating their wives fairly, but never diacicasing the full amount of their income.
If the wife is left to run, the home, the bulk, of course, will be required for domestle purposes, but there should be a mutually agreed portion for the wife for her pocket money, and where the wife knows her husband's wage a portion for the husband.
Where there in happiness and understanding in the home the pro- blam solves itself, but where there. is greed on both sides trouble is Inevitable.
The wide nian is he who from the beginning of married life 'makes clear to his wife what she may expect for household expenAPS and pin money. Once he has fixad that standard, he must not deviate from that amount unless to in- crease it in secordance with his financial position, and with the first requirements of his home, The wife of such a husband has no cause to complain, nor is she likely to do so unless she is of the un- reasonable type which are dis covered in the lottery of marriage, IA, WATSON WALLACE IN Exchange,
