Did anybody ever tell you before
you were married that two can live
as cheaply as one?
Investigation has not been able to
determine just "where that fascinat
ing fallacy was started.
But it is an interesting idea, and
the facts and figures necessary to run
down and forever kill this respectable
old tradition are worth our time.
Mrs. Amy Braden, secretary of the
state department of public welfare in
California, can tell the hopeful young
bridegroom just how right or wrong J!
he is in his fond expectation that two
can live as cheaply as one. Mrs
Braden has made a study of the busi
ness and she knows. '
For instance, if you happen to be
a clerk and you decide to get a wife
and live happily ever after, you can
count on your annual living expense
being boosted by the sum of $826.26.
But don't be downhearted. Further
figuring reveals that if your wife is
that rarest of all gems a good man
ager the added expense of $826.26
may be cut to $720.66. ,
Mrs. Braden calculates that the liv
ing expense of a clerk who is not mar
ried averages $1,2S5.70 a year, while
the living1 expenses of a man and wife
in this same station of life should not
be more than $2,111.46. j
And this, with the "good man
ager," might be cut to $2,006.46.
Of course this is not actual mini-i
mum living cost. This is, rather, a
"fair living cost" which ought to pro-;
vide a reasonable amount of comfort
and health. j
Perhaps there is too much talk
I about the added cost of living when a
man marries. Marriage, if it is worth
anything, it is worth paying for. It :
should not be regarded in terms of
dollars and cents, so long as the man
has sufficient income to permit a de
cent home and upkeep.
Things that cost nothing are gen
erally worth about what they cost.

entrenched in the new economic sys-1

well afford to materially lower the
