Dear Miss Fairfax: I am a middle-aged married woman with a husband who doesn't drink Bnd who doesn't beat me. He even has a good disposition. But, Miss Fairfax, I do worry about the future because my husband spends all the money he gets hold of. We have never saved anything. He is getting older and I can see it. I try to save on the grocery bill and deny myself many things, but what I save in a month he can spend in one evening. Now. I do not feel like complaining to him because he is a good husband otherwise. He makes a good salary, but if that stopped we would have nothing. Is there anything I can do about It? LOVING WIFE. There are thousands or cases line yours, loving wife, but not so many women who appreciate the situation. A man who deliberately falls to provide for his wife’s old age and his own is not only foolish but is actually cruel. He 1s saying In effect, "I don’t care what happens to my wife In case I die. She can dig and scratch and manage in any old way. She can be at the mercy of anyone who has a dollar or two to throw her for the poor labor an old woman can give.” I can’t believe a man who loves his wife tenderly and with any Intelli gence will make this mistake. There are twro things that will help: One Is life insurance, or some similar saving plan, and the other is for you to handle part of his salary. There are men who won’t save, who are still quite particular about paying their debts. If your husband is that kind, can’t you arrange to take on obligations. Either take out life insurance for yourself that will mature In 20 years or get him to take it out. Or go into a building and loan association where you save a definite amount each month. Are you buying a home? That Is a wise thing for people to do when they are not accumulating In some more profitable way. Your husband should give you an allowance. You should buy the gro ceries, your clothes and anything else [hat you can agree upon, and he should give you a certain portion of his salary to do It with. Then you would feel repaid for your efforts at saving. It is too utterly discourag ing for the wife to do all the plnch ng while her husband spends with a free hand. Get on a budget basis In your home and get for yourself some of the margin of money which your husband wastes. When he sees you are using It wisely, he may be come more generous with you. where they attended the fiftieth wed ding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. E. VI. Stickney on Thursday.

I had seen him glance furtively at it just before I had helped him back to his bedroom, and I was sure that he had thrust into the torn papers whicji it contained, the queer awkward bandages which had been tied around his head when he came home. I locked the bathroom door, and then, spreading a newspaper upon the floor, tumbled the contents of the wastebasket out upon it. The thing I sought was almost at the bottom of the basket, a newspaper roughly en closing the bloodstained bandages. That they were not the ordinary surgical bandages, I saw at once, but just what they were I could not de termine. Putting the rest of the pa pers back in the wastebasket, I pour ed from the basin the solution which I had prepared for the laving of Dicky's head, filled it with cold water, and laid the bandages in it.

The fame of his wisdom and knowledge spread beyond the realms of Persia, his native land, and students came to him from far off countries. Though the deeds of kings are lost in oblivion, and the fate of empires forgotten, passing centuries ‘ have not dimmed the name of Rhazes.

It was after their final rinsing that I spread them over the bathtub rim, and Item ized them carefully. Two small, cheap, but dainty fem inine handkerchiefs, with no distin guishing monogram, which had been wadded into balls and applied first to the wound. A large fine linen mouchoir, which I recognized as one of Dicky’s own which had been folded into small compaas and laid over the others. A long lawn collar, hemstitched, such as adorns so many ready-made cotton frOcks nowadays. They are duplicated by the hundreds in every large store. I had two or three simi lar ones myself. I had seen one upon the frock of the girl, Molly B'assett, who had come to see Mrs. Marks only that afternoon, and Mrs. Marks, herself, sported one, as doubtless did scores of other women within a few yards of me. The collar had been used to tie down the other bandages, and for a long minute, I stood staring at it, trying to visualize the accident in which Dicky so patently had received first aid from some woman. That he had tried so hard to con ceal the bandages, argued one of two things: Either the accident was one of which he had reason to be ashamed or else he had found me so Intolerant during our life together that, no mat ter If his escapade were entirely In nocent, he feared a scene when I should discover the feminine handker chiefs and collar. Womanlike, I promptly acquitted myself of the second premise, but, on the other hand, all my love of fair play protested against condemning Dicky without knowing the truth. My altruistic sentiments, however, did not prevent me from planning a Machiavellian little surprise for my husband. I resolved to stay awake the rest of the night, or rather, morn ing that I might send the wastebasket down to be emptied before Dicky should awaken. This would effectual ly prevent his knowing whether or not I had found the bandages until I should decide to enlighten him. Moving noiselessly, I tidied up the bathroom, putting everything in its place. Then I went to the kitchen and switched on my electric Iron. When It had heated sufficiently, I Ironed the handkerchiefs and the col lar until they were dry. Folding them neatly, I wrapped them in a piece of while paper, switched off the Iron and going back to the living room hid them securely away in my own traveling bag. Only then did the tension upon my nerves relax, and I slumped weakly down upon the bed, feeling unutter ably miserable. But I did not forget my determination to stay awake until morning, and long before it was time for the Janitor to make his rounds I dressed and carried the wastebasket down to his quarters and emptied it with the explanation that I needed It for the sorting of some papers. I also sidetracked any possible curiosity he might have had by tell ing him of the apartment I desired for my sister-in-law's use during her brief BOjourn in the city, and making an engagement w'lth him to view the empty apartments in the building— two in number—later in the day. Dicky was still asleep when 'I re turned to our apartment, and I de cided to do my dally marketing before I prepared breakfast that I might not be absent when he should awaken, and perhaps need me. I dressed for the street,’ and, going out, hurried my errands. Upturning, I was par ticularly careful In fitting my key that I might bake no noise, for I wished to have Dicky sleep as long as possible, knowing that it would be his best medicine. -j> I had left the living room door partly ajar,' for it creaked whenever it was opened or shut, and, because of my noiseless entrance, Di^ky, who, attired in bathrobe and slippers was bending over the table, did Pot see me. And before X could speak to let him know I was there, I suddenly 'ound my lips closed.
