The Girls Allowance.

The question Of an allowance for the
daughter Of the household is one that is
constantly being discussed. 1t seems to
be pretty generally accepted that it is a
good idea, and teaches a girl the value
and use OF money. So it does, but 1t
sometimes teaches her some other things
that need little guarding against.
girl with an allowance occasionally
makes it an excuse for penuriousness on
the one side and unhesitating begging
on the other that tend little to charac-
ter deterioration, says Harper's Bazaar.
While it is perfectly right and proper to
give as an excuse for self denial that
ones allowance is exhausted, or will not
admit Of the proposed purchase or pleas
ure trip, it is not right to say, as girls
have been known to say, I'll go with
you, but you must pay my car fare or
Il have only a dime to spare in the treat
if you will let me come in on that" etc.
| have heard n girl reply in answer to
a suggestion from companion on short
railroad trip that parlor car should be
taken, 'Oh, if we do that you will have
to pay my way on ii, my allowance is
SO nearly spent"
Girls who would shrink" from the idea
OF 'sponEing' under other circumstances
do not hesitate to take advantage of this
allowance peg upon which to hang a
good many small meannesses in money
matters.
When it comes to the mothers purse,
the cribbing by any means and outright
purloining, indeed. are not disguised.
These are only little foxes, to be sure,
girls, but they gnaw the vines of integrity
and self respect and would better be
choked off

A girl who has brothers gains much in
a sensible kind Of comradeship with
them, and With her brothers young men
friends. As Il rule. says The Dclineator,
girls brother is a most severe critic in
regard to her men friends A sister is, OF
should be, considered by her brother a
very precious object to protect from
harm and - defend from mistakes, and
a girl is wise if She heeds the counsels
OF good brother and measures men by
his standards in making her choice of
friends.
On the other hand, sisters influence
over u brother may be of the best. She
can help him to cultivate noble qualities,
to be honest, unselhsh self respecting
She can inspire him with i wish to be
courteous, considerate and chivalrOus to-
ward women. If a sister is a firm and
constant friend to her brother and pro-
vides attractions for him in his home, she
will strengthen him against many outside
influences which might prove very harm
full # he is unprepared for them. \ dis
tinguished man has acknowledged the
debt of gratitude which be owed to
devoted sister by saying: MY sister al
ways had leisure for counsel and sympa-
thy in all my boyish difficulties and
troubles. She took an interest in all my
friends and companions. In my boyhood
] hardly realized all that she was to me,
but as a man | appreciate what her in
huence was TO me in my youth"

That hackneyed American maiden

you knew the language was not bit

preston upon the English Of a few
shires Of the old country as it was
spoken between two and three centu-
ries ago, while they have been blending
and changing the speech of all their
home peoples during the same period.
The result Is that an American can
hardly utter a sentence in England
without calling attention to the differ
ence between his speech and that Of
the people about him.

deuce In England, rushed up to a con-
ductor in Charing Cross station and

a loss again, because he would have
