Both Should Know Just What the Family Income Is, and, as in Any Business Partnership, Share Alike in the “Dividends” or ‘Clear Profits.” BY MARGUERITE MOOERS MARSHALI.. What is a wife’s just share of the family t: Do the joys of wifehood and motherhood compensate for financial dependence? Is the wif empty pocketbook These are the interesting questions raised by Mrs. Elia W. Peattio in a recent magazine article. How will the American wife answer them, par- ticularly the wife who has known financial independence? Yesterday I heard one answer trom Mrs. Wilson Woodrow, whose clever Pen has earned her many dollars since she wrote her first novel, “The New Missioner.”* ‘T Believe that the basis of all financial arrangements between husband and wife should be am ab- solntely fair business partnership,” she said. “And I believe that the terms of the partnership should be arranged before marriage, thet is, before the business of home-mak- ing is actually opened. “Two people would not think of at- tempting to run any other business in common without first having come to @ formal, detailed agreement. “The wife's pocketbook is often emp- tled before she is married. That sounds Paradoxical, but it ts really the literal truth, A little while ago I read a clever article by Arthur T. Vance on “The Cost of Courtship.” He developed some most Interesting facts. It is only too often true that a young man’s flanc does not even know the size of his sal ary. Perhaps she is careless and in- different, ready to accept flowers, candy and theatre trips ad infinitum without thinking that she squandering hard-earned savings. haps the young man is at fault, since, through a foolish vanity and a false sense of values, he may purposely over- state his income to his sweetheart. RESULT IS MISUNDERSTANDING ON BOTH SIDES. “In either caso the result is the same. The young bride doesn't know how much money the family purse contains, and she is very lkely to try to draw too much into her own. Her husband has been ‘a good spender’ during the courtship days; she no reason why he should ‘grudge her money.’ She doesn’t realize that now he has the ex- penses of a home and a possible family to consider. “On the other hand, he feels in need of retrenchments from the very prod- ity with which he has lavished, money in the months preceding mar- riage. If he 1s not tn debt he has prob- ably exhausted all his small savings. He doesn't stop to think that his girl- wife is ignorant-of all this. Perhaps, ry ot her own, which, being used for herself only, has permitted her to dress com- paratively expensively. She naturally thinks her husband should keep up that standard. “So the quarrels begin,” I remarked, “Indeed they do,” Mrs. Woodrow essented. “Bickerings over the Per- family budget bring more couples that the independent woman who does her own thinking and earns her own living is actually shrink- ing from married life because of the sordid squab! over money whioh it is likely to involve her. hat 1s why I so heartily Indorse the {dea of the business partnership, In a partnership between men a certain amount of the money coming into the office 1s «pent in the extension of the business, the buying of stock and so on, Likewlse, @ certain amount of the fam- fly Income will naturaly be spent in and about the home, THEY, SHOULD DIVIDE THE NET PROFIT OR SURPLUS. “Then, in business, there !s ® fund against possible losses. This is balanced by the savings bank account, which should be behind every home. ‘Then the residue of the profits 1s divided Into equal halves, and each member of the firm takes his share, to spend or save ay he pleases. Exactly that plan should b> followed by husband and wife. “They should understand thut it 1s ab- solutely not the business of either to inquire how the private allowances are spent. “Probably there never was a woman who didn’t think her husband pald too much for his cigars. Probably there never Was 4 man who didn’t think his wife paid too much for her hats. But each should understand that these mat- ters are distinctly personal and pri- ate. ‘As for the wife's exact share in the family inco! that is nething tha must be determined by individual ol Just clvatances. os ‘oma eorts Disiness require a greater ou! tor running expensed $9 meme Nouivy Vee up a large amount of the incoming h. Only, of course, the wite, like any other co-partner, should share qually with the husband In the sur: | plus profits of the ‘home business,’ ho ever small they are.” “How would you have the partner- ship arranged in case the wife were earning a salary outvide the home, as well as the husband?" “The terms of thelr financial agree- ment should never vary, not even if the wife hapepns to be earning more than her husband, be put together, the home expenses and emergency fund deducted, and the remainder equally divided,” But would most men stand for such an arrangement?” I protested, NO DISGRACE IN “POOLING IN- COMEd” IN THE HOME. “Why not?

The {dea is a rello of the rather contemptuous chivalry men have lavished on women in the Past. Until the past fifty years woman in general has heen held economically helpless; therefore to take money from her was equivalent to stealing pennies from @ child, “Now all that 4s changed. Woman hes proved her economic worth, her earning capacity. She can meet men on fair, frank, financial ground. She nm adcept and give money without either feeling or conferring humttiation, “Tt 4s just the fact that she 1s able to earn as much money as he which makes it fair for her to go into a bual- | Ress partnership with her husband, The essential nature of their contract 1 not changed when she actually is earning a salary. “And remember the contract ought to bo made out before the mar: tfcate,” ended Mrs. Woodrow.
