Spendthrift Wives.

A Chicago woman brought suit against her husband for failure to support her. It was testified that his income was $291 a month, but even with that he declared she spent money so lavishly that he could not pay her bills. And it seemed that waa the situation, so the judge discharged the husband. There Is not mijch sympathy for a spendthrift wife. It is a great burden to a man .who has one. It is simply beyond all excuse for a woman to spend $3,000 on a $2,000 salary. There is nothing that so takes the starch out of a man as to hava that kind of a wife. It makes a social sneak out of him. mid be goes about with his head down and hit tape in a half acowl. He can not help it The wife can, though, if she cheerfully regulates her wants by the aise of his wages. That la' a sensible and honorable way, and really _ the only way to be happy.—Ohio State Journal. \
