THEIRS BY RIGHT.
An Allowance In Cash Is Not y Mere
Privilege But = Duty Par
eRts Owe to Girls.

If it be essential and necessary that
girls should be well acquainted with all
matters connected with the manage
ment of money, then there can be no
better method adopted for enabling
them to become thus acquainted with
those matters than by granting them a
weekly or monthly allowance of such
amount as their parents or guardians
may be able to afford. But if such an al
iowance is granted it should be given to
cover certain specified expenses, such
as dress and other personal necessities
An allowance is not mere privilege.
but in certain sense, girls right To
withhold it is an injustice not only to
the girl, but to the man whom she may
marry and whose money will be intrust-
ed to her care to spend wisely Indeed
it might be said without hesitation that
it is fathers duty to see that his
daughters not only understand the
value of money, but the difficulty of
earning the same.

ARBUTUS.

There's a CLEAN of spring in my dark Old
room
And a breath Of spring in the air,
cannot write and cannot think,
So fling down my pen in despair
For my truant heart is out in the woods
Still damp from the melted SHOWS,
EVhere the sweet wild things Of the shadow
hide
And the trailing arbutus grows.
4 lay my head down on my folded arms
And drowsily shut my eyes.
%Gy dark old room whirfs lightly away
And the din of the city dies
Che long hard years of struggle ana frets
OF hope and despair and pain,
Slip from me silently one by one
And am q child again
-Tis spring In the country, and on the hills,
In the secret places Of gloom,
Where the thick brown MOSES cover the
earth,
The arbutus is all a-bloom;
The children eager from school let out,
Are off and away on its quest,
Laden with baskets, sun-bonneted, tanned,
And laughing with childish zest.
GEAR little flowers in the cracked blue jar.
We are homesick, you and L;

Managed Husbands Worthless.

Helen Watterson Moody believes that
the husband who can be managed is not
worth managing, land there is no better
principle she adds. in the Ladies'
Home Journal, for both husband and
wife to adopt in adjusting themselves
to the new relation than that of trying
to do each by the other what men are
accustomed to call the square thing.
Many a woman understands managing
a husband better than she does doing
the square thing by him, and many 4

the square thing by other men who

that, judged by his own business stand
ards, he habitually dealt unfairly with

ONE ON THE PROFESSOR.
College Episode Narrated in Glee by
the Boy Who Thought
1t Funny.

az wonder if I told you how Young
fooled old Roots the Greek professor,
exam. time?' asked Billy, and as no
one could truthfully say that he had
heard it, Billy started in:
Roots as we call him, thinks. al
ways, that some one is cribbing in
exams. Now, in reality, he's away off,
because the fellows don't crib up there
now, but Roots is always looking for a
chance to catch some one, and he got
it last week. We were having an exam.
in Greek and he was sneaking up and
down the aisles watching everyone. He
was at the end of the room furthest
away from Young when he happened
to look over and see Young take out
his watch. You can't work that old
watch crib game on Roots he's too old,
and when he saw YOung's watch appear
he sneaked up back of him to see if
there was anything wrong. He could
walk almost as quietly as a cat, and
was behind Young without having made
sound, just as he touched the spring
and the cover of the watch opened.
There surely was piece of paper in
that watch case and Roots saw it. That
was enough. He leaped over, grabbed
IL ttuti lOiQ OUuS 10 come 10 the desk
with him. We Immediately came to
the conclusion that there was some
| thing wrong, SO everyone stopped writ
ing and watched Roots and Young.
Up to the desk they went; then Roots
sat down and without looking at the
| watch, which he held in his hand,
| looked at Young and said:
"'Mr. Young, I find that you have
been trying to use aid in this examine

had been caught red-handed. But
what have you to say about this paper,

to make use of it and it has written

at the paper, then blushed and APP

NEW ORLEANS SOCIETY.
They Who Are Once Received by 1t
Never Forget the Charm of It's
Perfect Social Life.

1.-THE question that confrontS the
Creole to-day" writes Harrydele Hall
mark of social life in New Orleans, in
the Ladies' Home journal, "iSy Will the
money of the Americans rule the city
socially in the beginning of the TWEEN
Iieth century, While money rules less
in New Orleans than in any other city
of it's size in the United States, still a
certain amount is absolutely necessary
for n person to keep up the exterior of
a gentleman's position. Yet people of
good family and very limited means do
hold the best social positions, because
they have learned to give up the chaH
and spend their money on the wheat.
Again, people of no influence. as New
Orleans counts it, but who have plenty
of money, tact and social qualifications,
can obtain and have obtained good
standing. Blood and money together
are good; money and refinement are
not a specially favored condition, as are
the two others, for storming New Or
leans society; but any of the three
qualifications alone would have hard
time of it. Narrowing it down, it re-
mains that money alone cannot enter
New Orleans society to-day; refinement
alone cannot, but blood-well- it has
held and does hold the lead. The at
mosphere of New Orleans society, as
this century draws to a close, is con-
spicuously Partisan in manner, ardent
ly American in loyalty TO the old flag,
warm-hearted to the visitor, reserved
in its inner life, p1easure-loving and
childlike in its gayety. 1t offers to one,
in it's social as we'll as its physical life,
the heart Of a ripe, red pomegranate.
He who tastes never forgets the charm.
He never forgets the red-roofed houses,
the chimes of cathedral bells, the en-
tresol where lives Ia Belle Creole, the
folk songs on guitar. the melodious
swing of French voices, nor the dark,
luxurious beauty of the women"

Morning Breathing Exercise.

Do you want a chest without hollows
and a neck firm and round? Take
breathing exercise. Every morning as
soon as you awake put on a warm
dressing gown and warm slippers.
Stand before an open window and
breathe in deeply. Count mentally as
you inhale. A breath taken while you
count 20, one held while you count 20,
or one expelled while counting 20, is
a long one. Take six every morning.
Nothing fills out the throat and chest
more effectually. Nothing causes the
blood to flow more healthily and gives
brighter ewes and cheeks

fine. Put in a little butter and little
cream in a saucepan. When the but

to absorb the cream. The hash must
