How Much for Clothes?
Yes, and how much for food, for rent, foi
amusement, for charity
Money Is coming freely these days for most
of you men; the spending of it of necessity is
largely in the hands of the wife. Women do
eighty per cent'of the family buying.
Fortunate is the housewife who is given an al
lowance, a bank account and a check book for
her convenience. For she can always know just
what goes'out for family expense.
