The Girls Money Matters;
a Talk About the Way
She Uses Her Allowance

7 OW many of you girls can tell what it costs
II you to dresss There are some Of you, Of
= course, who take care of yourselves, and so
have a very clear idea just what are the expenses
of clothing But I fancy the majority of you are
pretty hazy about it. You take it for granted that
your parents owe you raiment, and you ask for 1t
when you need it, or when you think you need It,
The two are not at all the same, by the by.
I dare say [ bit daft on the subject of
allowances, but if I had my way, every woman
should have an allowance. 1t would be sum abso-
lutely in her control and she should spend 1t just
as she pleased If she were housekeeper the al
Iowance should cover housekeeping expenses and the
cost of her own wardrobe. If she had children she
should have an allowance for dressing them, and
should never be obliged to go to her husband for
money any more than he should come to her.
And if she were young girl [ would give her
an allowance for her dress and her ordinary small
personal expenses, like fare and matinee tickets
and candy and Christmas presents and similar inn
portant trifes.
It is impossible to say what should be the
amount of such an allowance So many different
things help to decide it. The girl who goes out

apparently feeling well as ever. Sunday
afternoon, he attended the Memorial
service for his friend and companion,
Everett Ham. Tuesday, however, be
began to show symptoms Of not being
well and from this time grew worse, not
withdrawing all that medical skill could
do, until his death, Thursday night at 6
o'clock. This was boy of rare spiritual
attainment. There was not a cloud
upon the horizon OF his confidence In
God. It was this boy, wi made the re-
