THE DAILY CHIT-CHAT.
By Ruth Cameron.

why. I'm ever 80 much more careful
money. 1 make them last just about
twice as long
So a young woman who has had her
first experience in wage earning this past
winter commented on one effect of that
experience.
She is the daughter of people Of very
moderate means. She never in all her
life has had a fixed allowance. Her
father said he could not afford to give
her one. Instead he has given her money
whenever she asked for it, if he possibly
could.
Now, this girl has always been ex-
tremely careless about her clothes. Her
gowns have a way of getting torn and
soiled in half the time one would ex-
pect, and her hats become dilapidated
and her shoes scratched and old looking
in a few weeks. She said she Just
couldn't help it, that she was unlucky
I always wondered IL her father had
new things to replace the prematurely
destroyed ones If she would have been
quite SO "unlucky.''
And now the question is answered.
She has bought her own clothes for a
year. She has had a definite sum to
Duy them with, not a vague, indefinite,
haphazard supply which the plea Of a
torn gown or ruined hat would probably
make elastic.
1t has been a case of learn to be care
full or do without. And she has learned
to be more careful
Which is a lesson she would have
learned years and years ago il her ia
Their had given her fixed and absolutely
lnelastic tendency.
OF course, even then. she would not
have had quite as much respect for the
money as If she had earned 1t herself,
but she would have found out what it
could and could not do, and would have
proceeded to help it do its best by TAX
ing due care of her clothes.
He said he couldn't afford to give her
an allowance, because he was a poor
man. AS a matter of fact, he couldn' t
AFFORD not TO give her one for just that
reason.
1t is often the child of poorer parents
who has absolutely no conception of
the value of money, because she never
has the handling of any; while the
weather. girl. who has a definite allow
ance. learns thrift and economy.
L believe that just as soon as a child
| realizes that pennies have other uses
besides being put in his mouth or rolled
across the floor he should have an al
lowance
At first this would be only a very
little for spending money, but as the
| child grows older l think that more and
more of the money spent upon him
should be put into his own hands until
the boy or girl of fourteen or fifteen is
given an allowance that covers all his
personal needs. Mother or father would
supervise the spending, OF course. That
goes without saying.
Too many mothers and fathers have
an idea that an allowance is an extra
something that only wealthy people can
afford TO give their children
The sooner they get rid of this notion
and realize that with an allowance OF
no more money than they have previous
ly had in driblet sums, il as much, their
children can buy thrift and economy as
well as clothes and pleasures the better
for those children.

smaller mill than Maplcton has had
