GAME FROM NORMAN HIGH ".nun,
Painting and paperhanging; fine
Ample evidence of the blindness
of love is furnished by the marriage
license clerk at the court house,
who is kept busy these days enter-
ing the names of Cupid's victims in
the inarri.:iT * record.
In one week's time 52 persons in-
dicated in this way their willingness
"for better or for worse." It is
wondered by the way if perhaps
these were not jollying themselves
with that old saying that in 1920,
"Two can live as chaply as one."
It is apparent to the initiated that
the candidates had hypnotized them-
selves with some sort of false con-
clusion, else why would they hazard
matrimony when it takes more thai,
the average week's salary to bu)
shoes for the couple.
Going on tlie assumption that the
average young man contemplating
matrimony is drawing about IMO per
week, a review* of cold facts and
purchasing power of the dollar
would strike a chill to the heart of
any but the smitten.
Perhaps Cupid, himself, chuckles
a little as he aims his deadly ar-
rows. For in 1920 love is put to a
real test. What will Mr. Young's
husband say when "Sweetie" re-
turns from a shopping excursion.
Very liberally he has given her
all except $10 of his weekly check
and rhe returns happily with a few
articles of wearing apparel in one
small shopping bag and the money
aJl gone. He cannot bring himself
to ask the dear little wife for an
accounting.
lias he realized the price of these
feminine accessaries that so en-
hance her charm? "Papa" would
but papa has been discreet.
Gloves 5j*4.50 to $5; lingerie—sev-
eral of those mysterious fluffs of
muslin, lace and silk—a cool $20;
hose—two pairs $6, very reasonable
at that!
But are these luxuries? Well, the
price of necessities is just as breath-
taking.
Rent for a month for a little place
that is just barely livable runs up to
$60 or $70 per month. This paid,
about $25 a week is left for every-
thing else.
l'ood for two, unprepared, may be
provided for $1.50 per day if the
housekeeper knows how to select
wisely. For seven days at this rate
the total mounts of $10.50. That
leaves $15.50 a week for other ex-
penses.
A couple thus confronted may
manage. 1 hey can see-saw along,
buying each week, some one, two,
suit
hree, or more indispensable things
ith this most important portion of
heir income.
\\ hen the bills begin to come in,
Mr. Young husband, just beginning
t«> get his feet to earth and his
thoughts collected may suffer slight
reaction. He has encounted one
of those 1920 tests that Ct-pid was
chuckling about. He is no so blind
as in the beginning of the love god's
assault, but he is courageous and
game, and takes up the problem of
•lie in much the same spirit as his
lather and grandfather.
They, perhaps, pioneered in a new
country. He, too, is pioneering,
only in a different fashion. He and
the bride of his choice are combat-
ing and managing dollars and com-
modities.
