90 YOU GIVE YOUR DAUGHTER A
MONTHLY ALLOWANCE?

In the August Woman's Home Com
panion appears page entitled Good
Ideas for Girls" One of the sugges
! tons on this page has to do with
monthly allowances for girls. The
writer says that the charge Is often
made by men that women are extrava.
CANT, but she asks whether the men
have never realized that the remedy
lies in their own hands - that If they
do their share in training their own
daughters, the women of the next
generation will have some knowledge
of administering money. The writer
goes on with her suggestion:
mo; the real solution Is more in
elusive. If your daughter is ever to
know the value of money, you must
teach her to keep accounts and to live
within whatever sum is allotted her.
Figure up approximately the entire
amount you have given her for clothes
during the past year. If She is the
sort Of girl who asks frequently. or for
large sums at time, knock off ten
or fifteen dollars from the lump sum;
if she asks but seldom, and then re-
luctantly, add twenty-five. Tell her
that she must keep within this limit.
LET her have it monthly or quar-
terly, as is most convenient for you
both. If at all possible, put the money
in the bank for her and let her have
her own check book. BY this plan she
will learn to keep accounts, to do bust
ness by check, to plan and shop for
herself, and to live within her income.
There is special advantage IN
such plan for the girl who often goes
without because she hates to ask for
money. 1t Is there all ready for her,
and that peculiar self-respect of hers
is thereby saved.
mo doubt there are some fathers
who will say: A great fuss about moth
ing! The old-fashioned way of hand
ing it out is good enough for mel
Let me tell you, many girl lit may
be yours, is using her earning capacity
on the homework, by this means
saving you the, expense OF outside
labor. If she gave the same amount
of time and attention to any business
or profession away from home, she
would draw salary and enjoy her per-
sonai independence on it. They why
shouldn't she enjoy similar independ-
ence with a stipulated income at
home? Financial dependence at home
is driving out into the world many
girl who really does not need to go,
and whose parents would be glad TO
have her stay with them.
IF you have done your share toward
training your daughter to spend wisely
what money she has, you are privil-
eyed to complain of woman's extrava'
gance - but not before!"

A right reverend bishop tells the
following story:
"A young man came to me one day
and said: Bishop, want you to
marry me on next Wednesday
"All right, young man; I'll marry
you assured him.
"'Well. I want the bell to ring he
continued. :,

anybody ever had at a church we'd

well, the night came, the bell
rang, the organ played, the church
was crowded and everything went on
as the young man wanted it. When
the ceremony was over the young
couple waited instead Of leaving the
chancel. So shook hands with the
bride and then held out my hand to
the bridegroom. He had his hand
deep in his trousers pocket, he said,
somewhat impatiently and in a tone
that could be heard all over the
church:
:" Now, don't be in such an all
fred hurry, bishop. I'm getting the
money out as fast as ] can.
