Money for Wives
Br DOROTHY DIX.
The president of the Pin Money asso
ciation that during hut year aba
had J50.0J0 applications from married
women, working la thalr own borna, who
were anxious to ba
told sums way to

thetic altuatlons la
life, that of tba
woman who la a
domestic slave, and
who worka lika a,
alava, tor a alava'
raoompanaa ot her
keep.
Every " woman
who ta engaged In
any eelt-eopporting
occupation that
carrlea with It a
pay envelope la
continually called upon to liaten to the
walla ol tha married women who want
to find out aome way In which thev
can earn ,few dollars. Nor are these
married women always the wtvea of
poor men. Oftener than not. they are
the wived of rich men who glvg them
everything but money. .
Indeed, there are, so many rich woman
who are anzloua ta make a little money
with which they may do aa they pleaie
that the managera of the Woman'a Ex
chances, which were established to help
tha needy, have found H neceasary to
t.
bar out tha oakea and pies, and Jeluea I to ,hava anything above iba bara necea
and preserves, and ambroldertea-that niaiUee. tba wife must .help bring tn money
offered by women who not infrequently
drive up In a limousine when they
fetch the warea for which they hope
to get a few centea.
There la ao meaner Injustice on earth
than that practised by the tight-fisted
husband who refueee to give hie wife a
personal allowance In accordance with
hie mesne. Tet there are thousands and
thousands of such men. They permit
their wives to Indulge In tha wildest ex
travagance In dress, and to live luxuri
ously, ao far as maintaining an, eetab
llahment la concerned, but the women
buy on bills which bubby religiously
audits, and they never have a penny of
their own. The poorest show girl handles
mora money and baa mora financial In
dependence than they.
These poor rich women are often put
to terrible embarrassment for the lack ot
money. Very often tbey suffer cruelly
from It. for many of them have come
from poor homes, and they would like
to kelp soma' unfortunate suiter -or
brother, or make (he last daya of a
father or mother easier or mora com
fortable. ". ...,
In order to get wiejnay wealthy women
or at least women whose husbands are
wealthy-are often driven to desperate
and dishonest expedients. Sometimes
they go to money lenders and become
the prey of those sharks; sometimes
an accommodating grocer advances a
needed ten-dollar bill and charges It
up ta potatoes and onions. Sometimes a
woman sella a new frock for a tenth of
Its price to get a little money to buy com
forts for someone near and dear ta bar,
and whom It Is her duty to help.
Nor need any stern moralist blame the
women married to stingy men who do
these things. Any wife who makes bar
husband a comfortable home, wbo bea.-s
and rears bla children, wbo keeps up bis
soclsl position and doea all the multi
farious things demanded of the modern
woman wbo Is at tha heed of an estab
lishment, earns not only her board and
clothes, but money In her hand, and If
her husband refuses to give It to her she
la perfectly pustlfled in taking bar own
any way aba can get It.
But the wife's lark of money It not al
waya the result of nenurlousness on the
part of her husband. Oftener than not
It is the outcome of poverty, of aa in
come that la not sufficient to meet the
demands made upon It la thla day of
high cost of living- The maa doea the
best ha can. He la aa generous as pos
sible to his wife, and aha knows and ap
preciates It, and her desire to make
money ta the out flowering of her love
for him. She wants to ease the buroe
that be bears.
It Is a hard thing for a woman to look
at bar has band and aee him working be
yond Bis strength to support bis family.
It Is a cruel thing to have a little child
that needs some surgical operation to
correct aome physical defect, and not to
have tba money to have It done, or to
have a talented boy or girl to whom
yoa cannot glva the advantages that
would enable them to take the place
they are entitled to In life. 80 It la no
wonder, that multitudes of married
women are asking eagerly what can tbey
da ta earn a little money in tba hour or
two that tbey have at. their disposal
while tbey .watca the pet boll or the
taby la asleep.
m mi m i r a . . x . . t ox- sw wr -a . i
' Ot course they should have thla time
to rest and play In, but aa the poor know
only too well, the ease of mind that a
llttla money glrea la more refreshment
than tha relaxation of the body ever Is.
In a way thla problem of making pin
money la solved for ths country women
by her chickens and eggs and butter and
I bees. In the south a most successful st-
' flapt alnnv thla II n. k . a Kn mJ. Kw
orgsnlslng ths girls and women Into what
are called "tomato clubs." In these the
women are encouraged to grow fins to
matoes, then a demonstrator, employed
J by the state, cornea along with a scien
tific canning outfit and shows them
how to put up the tomatoes, and these
are marketed under the name ot the
various clubs.
Doubtless the tomato cluba will soon
also be preserving clubs, and ths hereto
fore moneyless country girls will be rais
ing and putting up all sorts of small
fruits, and putting money In the bank.
But what shall the city woman do who
also needs to make money, and has noth
ing but a tiny flat to work In? Ia there
anything she can do at home to make
money? Is' It feasible to teach her what
are eaHrd tha "cottage Industries" In
Europe? Could she be taught tine em
broidery.' or laee msklng,. or some other
art that aha could ply in the few mln
ates she- could snatch between her do
mestic labors?
Whether we Ilka It or not the time has
coma when we must face the truth that
the average man, working alone, cannot
support a family in comfort. I( they are

When an Artiste Marries
By WINIFRED BLACK.
I met tha Great Artists tha other day.
I mean I met tha woman who was A
great artiste before aha married.
She hasn't time ta ba aa artlata now.
Her husband does .
wear out his socks
and tba baby

So tha Orsat Ar

till aha doea mend.
And her hus
band a family are
all a good deal
sorry for tha Ar
tiste's husband.
and whan you look at tha matter as It
really Is they ought ta ba sorry tor him.
"Such A goose about housekeeping."
says ths man's mother. "Can't even mend
a three-cornered tear," murmured tna
man's lister. "Couldn't play, a decent
game of bridge to save her life,", eoos
the man's aunt, who has lust got Into
society and spsaks ot bridge vary oftaa
to lot people know she really Is in.
""Not a psrtlcls of Style;" says the
msn'a brother married to A milliner,
wbo can make perfectly beautiful hata
and for next to nothing, too. "A poor
ecenomlat," saya tha man's father.. And
tbey are all right, all perfectly and ao-
solirtsly right
' Tat when tha man's wlfs was a great
artists before shs married tha man. the
family waa proud ta think that John
knew tha artists. . , .? :
They had bar photographs all ever the
house, autographed of course to show
that they wars not bought, and they
never missed a concert where tha artists
g. ghe alwaya sent them a box, ot
course, ao that It waa vary nice to go.
and she alwaya ami led at theen, and
very ona la the theater always turned
around aad looked, and said, "Why they I
kaow her, I do believe." 1
