By Nixola Greeley-Smith. A young woman who tells a story of successful marriage attributes her happiness to the fact that she lives only for her husband and herself. | “Why live for the landlords?” she inquires. “Bluff does not pay.” There is more wisdom in that simple inquiry than in many a pretentious article. When a human being has learned to say and believe that bluff does not pay, he has found the for- mula of happiness. Much domestic) misery results from the fact that. one member of the matrimonial firm believes in spending only for real values and the other looks upon’ the entire family income as an ad- vertising fund. There is a tendency to assume that it is always the wife who sets the pace for excessive ex- penditure, though it 1s sometimes asserted that wives are extravagant in dress and in entertaining because thelr husbands compel them to ad-| vertise the prosperity of the house-| hold. But whether husbands or wives are responsible makes very little difference when we all know) that together they send up the high cost of bluffing, which is a much more |serfous problem than the high cost of living of which we hear so much more. To spend money merely for the purpose of convincing other per- sons that you have it to spend is the most foolish and the most frequent bors, in other words, “live for the! landlords,” ‘The letters of Evening World readers follow: WHY LIVE FOR THE LANDLORD AND PUT ON STYLE?
