Every citizen of Woodville is a

pride to the new $4,000 school

tells you of the billions of feet of

ever instituted for the people at
large. Yet there Is very grave ques-
tion as to whether the running OF
bills is always wise, particularly by
young women, and on this point
there is considerable diversity of
opinion.
THE fact that the big department
stores send out invitations to women
whom they know all over the city
asking them to open accounts with
their establishment shows that 1t
must be to the stores advantage to
have their patrons run bills, a on
this one point all who run bills will
agree,
"It Is to the firms interest. The
woman who runs a bill will spend
twice as much money as the one who
pays cash as she goes. The reason
is apparent and simple enough to
anyone who gives it moments
serious thought. She sees something
she wants and on the spur of the
moment she goes and gets it and has
1t charged. 1t is very simply pro-
cess and does not seem to cost half
so much as II she had to pay cash
for It,, Ten to one II she had not
been able to charge it she would not
have bought 1t for she would not
have been able to have afforded 1t.
so it goes, and unless the woman
has her charging down to a system
she is pretty likely to find herself
swamped at the end of the month
with a bill that she never suspected
would be so large. Even with sys-
tenn there is still the temptation and
no matter how careful the woman is
she is still very likely to find herself
living beyond her means.
when asked about this question
one young business woman, earning
a good salary, said that she did not
believe in bills and never ran them
Her two chums in the east had and
the bills at the end of the month
were a constant torment even though
they tried to be very careful. The
bills were always larger than they ex-
pected them to be and It cost them
more to live than 1t did the girl who
would not run bills.
Another young girl when broach-
ed on the subject of bills declared
that they were tragedy and she did
not know when she would ever get
hers paid up.
"I plan and think that / have 1t
all figured out and | will have so
