A GIRLS POCKET MONEY.

81 Ii up-todate education points
IN to seltreliance and individual
S~ity. The girl of the past could
be gentle, clinging, dependent; the
girl of the future must be strong, capa-
bic and fearless. Hence, she chafes
when. as SO often happens. she is
placed in position of utter irresponsi-
bility with regard to money matters.
She diSlilies the fact that she must ask
has no pleasure in giving, for she can
make no sacrifices.
In this very discomfort may be found
one of the answers to the question
which 50 many parents are asking
"Why DO our daughters go out from
homes where they are needed to ac-
cept positions in the business world
often uncongenial?' The girls answer
is, usually: Il must be independent
and if you will look closely into her
life and study her problems you will
find that the independence for which
she longs is not license to do that
which is unconventional, nor does 1t

career but is rather the sense of free
dom which an assured income, how
ever small, gives.
If it is not too late begin when she
is little, this daughter of yours, and
give her something. if it is but 10 cents
a week. for her very own. Let it be
understood that it is all her spending
money. If spent a. Monday no goodies
until the next Monday. Let her have
her own rockethook, and, if she will,
give her tiny mite to Sunday school or
pet charity. Increase the amount as
she grows older, including gradually
small articles of dress. When, how
ever she becomes a young woman her
allowance should, if possible, cover all
her needs. If she can start a bank ac-
count YOU will be surprised to find the
interest she will display in saving.
Do not think it will make her penuri

that which costs the giyer nothing. An
allowance Will add to the happiness,

Americans Can Learn Hospitality.

Americans, even though we are as
hospitable as any nation on earth
might we'll take a lesson from the Rus
slams in regard to the respect they pay
a letter of introduction. The English
send word when you can be received
and you pay each other frosty formal
calls and then are asked to o'clock
tea or some other wildly exciting func-
ton of similar Importance. The French
are great sticklers for etiquette. but
they are more spontaneous, and you

Too Much Eurniture

There are many girls who by the

There is not, however, the study Of

Ec Stylish, hut sensible.


a prominent fashion writer tells us
that "all dress skirts are made very
long in front and at the sides, and lay
well on the floor at the back" says the
Union Signal For this style special
walk must be cultivated. so as to force
the dress forward to prevent stepping
on the edge"
Mary Jane, In her country home,
reads the decree, and forthwith pro-
ceeds to lengthen her skirts for house,
street and church. In the city, Marion
Mildred obeys the same mandate, and
the folds of her newest gown gather up
Il variety of bacterialaden garbage
that would shock even the blase eye
of Il microscope. Bridget in the kitchen,
determines that her Sunday best"
shall trail, too, and so she brings into
the family apartments her share of
refuse matter from street and park.
Thus the house harbors disease germs
from every quarter, and life becomes
a yet harder struggle against the moi
some foe.
No sensible person objects to "style."
All must admit its charm, but true
style is governed by suitability of time
and occasion. The truly artistic is
never the inappropriate.
