THOMPSON
Dear Mrs. Thompson: We have been
married quite little while now, and,
of course, I want to put away some
| money for rainy day. But my wife
wants to save every cent and do with
| out things that I think we ought to
| have. She, is getting so stingy that
! she is getting ugly. Now, 1 know
! that sounds pretty hard, but it's the
| truth, and l wish you would say
| something about how wrong it is to
save money and starve your soul Why,
/ when / brought home a box of candy
| for the kids last Saturday night she
wouldn't speak to me. she was so mad
/ that I'd spent the money instead of
! giving 1t to her to save. And you
should have seen how those kids en-
| joyed that candy! DAD.
Yes, a person can be stingy to ugli-
ness. 1t will show in the face and the
| form. A stingy woman will get wrin-
| killed., sallow and old before her time.
| If she doesn't spend a little money on
| her appearance and a little thought
/ on something besides saving money
| her husband will soon be looking
| around for somebody more congenial
| to his eyes and his company. 1t is very
| well to prepare for a rainy day, but
| one shouldn't miss all the good things
| of the present because of dread for
1 the 1uLuI Z. Inc SOOu missed
now will never come again. I wish |
could tell this wife that her chief du-
| ties in life are to make her husband
and children and herself as happy as
| possible; not to 'starve their souls
| now so they may have a little money
| later on. A starved soul may die, and
what good Is any amount Of money
then?

it be proper for young lady and her
| gentleman friend to have their pictures
/ taken together while at a picnic or
| some other public gathering? (2)
| Should young lady accept gifts from
! her gentleman friend If she Is not
engaged? 90 I am eighteen years old
and am rather short for my age. Am
too old to wear my hair in a curl
! and hanging down my back? B. T.
% Many girls have permitted their
| pictures to be taken in company with
some young man, much to their later
regret. Have your picture taken in
a group, If you like, but do not have
it taken with just one man. There is
| a superstition to the effect that If a
young man and a young woman have
their pictures taken together they will
surely quarrel and separate later on.
While take no stock in these super
stitions, it is just as we'll to let them
you are eighteen years old you are be-
ginning to be a woman and it is time
for you to wear your hair in a more
dignified fashion. At home and just
with your family, 1t would be quite
permissible for you to wear your hair
hanging down your back, but It win
be better for you to put 1t up, in some
modest fashion, when there are visitors
or when you are away from home.
