Wages Problem:

"Most Men Do"

Should a husband tell? The question was raised in Clerkenwell County Court last month, when a wife, in the tone of one who states a commonplace, remarked to. Mr. Registrar Friend:~~

"Men do not tell their wives what they earn."

She added that she had been married for twenty-nine years and still did not know how much her husband earned,

A London newspaper carried out a telephone Inquiry of representative opinion in London. These are some of the answers the paper received:-

BUSINESS MAN'S WIFE:

"Of course I know what my husband earns. He would be the first to tell me of any increnso that he received.

"If he lost money he might try to keep thei news from me, but in these days of income tax returns it is difficult to keep secrets like that." DOCTOR'S WIFE }

"I should think it is a purely personal question between a man and the type' of woman he marries. I happen to know exactly how much my husband earns because I look after his books."

"It varies between classes, and even between districts. The wife of a professional man earning thousands might not be so inquisi- tive as the wife of a workman caràing a pound or two a week.

The professional man, on the other hand, would not have the same temptation to conceal part of his earnings to provide himself with extra pocket money.

Husbands hold a different view, Those whom the Daily Express "No." asked had only one answer. they said, "we do not tell our wives. They know."

Ten of twelve wives who answered the question know exactly what their husbands earned.

Wrong

Signora Galluzzi, who lives in Rome, has one disturbing failing. She snores.

an

So her husband, who fancies himself as an inven- tor, invented

apparatus consisting of a tube inside which was a thin blade made of brass. The idea was that a snore would cause the brass blade to make contact with an electric bell, which would ring and awaken the snorer.

Signor Galluzzi tried out his invention on Tuesday (says United Presa). He heard his wife snorlag, but the bell did not ring. He ran into her bedroom to see what had gone wrong.

He found her choking.

She was hurried to hospital. There the doctors found, that the brass blade had lodged in her throat,

her native Stockholm:— Hair: A new style resembling Katharine Hepburn's, carefully dressed instead of belug just Garbo-ish and trouble-free. Young Swedish girls are now learning to do their hair in the new Garbo-Hepburn way. Expression: No longer tired and blase, but free and happy-with eyes wide open. Clothes: No old, go-as-you-pleasc twoods, but beautifully cut fal- lor-made costumes.
