• Something new, and partici-
larly odious, , is threatening to
destroy any semblance of do-
'mestie •placidity at our place A.
shadow has crept across the lit-
tle pale .sun that shone,. however
dimly; on. our household:Y, 'Hot
words and cold looks are the
colors of the day.'
It seems , like a . little thing.
But. it's making me depressed,'
irritable, moody, sullen and gen
•erall y irascible. Perhaps; if I, get,
it of 'mi. chest ' in this: space
:I'lll feel better. 'Briefly, .my: wife
is now handling our finances: .
In the old, happy, carefree
days , in the newspaper business,
1 ,handled, the ..family funds with,
no 'stress, no strain, no tension.,,
I.. used 'to.' pick :•-up the 'mail'
each, morning. If there' were any
bills, I stuck then in my , hip
pocket,' unopened. After a week,
or two, -3'd . empty my, pocket
to a drawer at the office, .Every
month or so, I'd• look them over,
and .pay a few. of.- the•• more ur
gent 'demands.'
:I ran' contra -accounts with
.sortie of the rrierchanls: They'd
run • up• '. a big . advertising.' bill,
•and'. I'd••'•run' up a :tbg bill' for.
drugs;, or hardware. ,At the :.end
Of the year', we'd 'have a•"grand
reckoning, square'.•:up, .and all
would ''be serene.'
Little . money changed:. hands,
and.' all parties were, satisfied, It
was as primitive, .and just 'asof
ficient, • as • .transactions'. in the
old days • of trade
• I never :paid the premiums •;on
my' insurance ...policies until . my
• month's "grace" had run out I
was,. always 'one,• winter ::behind

'';could say . a word, and told him;

7'. Oh,: once or. twice 'a year, I'd
have a good grumbling about all
,the bi11s coming in, but .nobody
paid much attention including
I myself.• •
I At• the end .of, each :year; we'
owed the business another thou-
! sand .dollars, but the way 'I . ex-
. plained it to. niy , Wife, that was •
perfectly 'logical as my partner
°wasn't married, ' so,didn't need
as • muchmoney • as 'we did: •She.
thought.,this an eminently se'nsi
` ble explanation: • '
• This system worked to per•
fection. We were happy.' I was
respected for •my .financial acu
'men. In fact, my wife ' pissed to
listen, 'rapt) when I discoursed
oil higher economics, interest
rates,, finance. companies, ' and,
things ofthat sort:
There was never''a cross.' word
about money. There was never
much money, .either, but that
didn't seer''.to, matter; ;Now, we
seldom .talk about anything else.
1 come home from ' school now,
haul out,'a cold one, and sit down
for a friendly that. Five minutes
later, there are bills and • receipts
all over the kitchen table, I'm'
defending my former monetary
policy like a deposed minister'
of f inatce, . and she's attacking it
as, mercilessly as: :the : auditor
general..
I don't :quite know hove, ;it
happened, but since ' 'we came
here, and . I 'went on 'a regular
salary, the Old' Girl= .`has ,taken
over the .purse strings.. Perhaps
it's ` because the Mail now '.comes
to the 'house. • ,
At any.; rate, she pays the bills
and ' does the banking. We 'have
also acquired, somehow, a mon-•
strosity called .a joint account.
As • nearly as , I can learn, this

cheque and from, there on, she
takes over the joint.. •
All . I . can say' is :that. her
systern, . has . pranged • ' us : into
.the ' worst ' economic gloom
•we''ve. , ever 'experienced. First
of all, • she • has the insane idea
thatyou're• supposed ' to . pay.
your bills ' as 'soon as you •'get.
them.' As. i a ,result,, we • ` never
have : any money.:. She even
thinks • you're supposed ;; to. pay;
things like . church dues:. and
doctor's.•bills.
Just last. ,:month she nearly,
put us right, on the rocks. She
came across• . an 'old' tax notice:
that .. I had thrown in the; waste-.
basket; . What : did she do? She.
sent, off a, cheque for the;:entire
one 'hundred and seventy dollars.
It:. meant I' had to , smoke mak-
ings for a month.
She didn't ` see what she'd.
done , wrong,'.. even when I• care-
