BEST GIRL FOR WIFE Rich or Poor, She Must Agree to tFifty-Fifty Partnership. Anne Dunlap in New York American. * "Now that marriage is becoming so tediously commonplace, almost as commonplace as divorce," as a popu% ? ? ? ? *" ? - ?? " if i^_ [iar young actor remimvcu, it lis interesting to see it through a supreme court justice's eyes. Recently word came from Chicago that two justices, who had listened to more than 7,000 divorce cases, had determined that the "middle class girl made the best wife. Justice Peter A. Hendrick of the New York supreme court does not think so. Recently he told why, thus: "The rich girl or the poor, the girl of high estate or the girl of no estate ?it makes little difference if she goes Rfc into marriage with the right attituae. "Nobody could give any one reason W why so many marriages turn out dis[ mally. I've heard a thousand reasons. I But usually it's because the wife or ' the husband expects everything of the other, though taking for granted the consort's love will excuse in her or him all the faults of the universe.

Too much learning of a kind does make some women too ad. vanced for the good wife or mother. But never too much education, for > education is enlightenment." ""The daughter of a good mother -who conducts her own home, and that means the girl in moderate circum| stances, makes the best wife, f "It's a question of education and [ bringing up, with the future in view. 1 " -1 4.1 I The home making miaaie ciass uiuuici trains her daughter to do those things "which it will be necessary for her to * know how to do when she encounters I the problems of home and rearing R children. "The daughter of the rich, if properly educated, makes as good a i wife as any other. But the girl of wealth does not as a rule, receive the r kind of training essential to married ' j happiness." Judge David Brothers of Chicago, had this to say: ^ \ "And the poor girl often marries A to escape poverty and brings to her W marital responsibilities less experi enee and less education and less inf terfest than it must have." Justice Wagner of New York, I makes this comment: ": "After one has plowed through all The evidence and circumstances in 1 hundreds of divorce cases, he's k wneU+v miYPri un in his opinions | -r I About the requisites of a perfect wife.

(fOBEN ARE TO TEST ! i MONEY-SAVING PLANS * 1 ! general Study of Wise Opportlonment I of Family income Will be Taken Up By South Carolina Clubs. ; '1 i ??? January first, members of the feder fori wnmAn's rlnha nf South Carolina ill begin a statewide test of the wis- j dom with which they are spending their money. How much of the family ; income goes for hats and herrings, for ! morles and medicines and saucepans J j and sugar, (when there is any), will be sternly calculated by honsewires la very city and county, aid the results'1 pooled at the end of the month. Mrs. {* J. Russell McElwee, state chairman of j Thrift for the federation is busily en- , gaged in enlisting the support of ; every club woman In South Carolina : In a campaign to reduce living ex- ^ penses which is sponsored by the c United States Treasury Department, j in co-operation with the national thrift chairmen of the largest organizations of women in the United States. Women Are Buyers. "We were never called upon to help in a PTpater cause, a more needed : campaign, a compaign of such recon- j struction," says Mrs. McElwee. She Is convinced that it lies within the 1 power of women to regulate the use and control the price of the common u necessities of life, as they are the buyers of these necessities. When j this power is applied in a concentrated way by the women of South Car- L olina, she believes that they will give invaluable help in solving the present 2 problem of the high cost of living, and in establishing the permanent prac- f tice?of saving money and material. 1 Mrs. McElwee is being aided in the preliminary work of getting the campaign in this state ufder way, by a 5 central committee composed of coun-, ty and city chairmen of thrift. c Each individual, according to pres- a ent plans, will be asked to keep an v account of her daily expenses during January, grouping them under such headings as, "Rent." "Clothing," c "Amusements," "Food," etc. She will not be asked to report the actual c * amounts spent, but the percentage t i they represent of the actual income. j These reports will probably furnish, . h?aii ft# ft fit* tut inn for & meeting * ' held at the end of the month. | J , Will Review Expenses. I \ I In February, each individual will s , analyze the January expenses and' make an effort through information \ j'gairfed in January to save a certain i amount through conservation, withI out hardship. In March, each woman I will make a calculation of how much | she saved en living expenses in Febj ruary over an equal number of days ? in January. In this montn an exrori v will be made to encourage the mem- ^ bers of organizations making the ex* a periment to Invest their savings la government securities.
