Money Spending
BY MRS. FRANK LEARNED.
Author of 1.-THE Etiquette Of New York To-day"

THO keep accounts" may seem
a prosaic matter. Some
girls may say that they
have little to spend and 1t is use
less TO write down in an account
book where the money goes.
But needless worry may be
saved if one form a habit of en-
tering ones daily expenditures in
a little account book. The habit
is in itself a training in accuracy
and carefulness and IL a firm
check on wastefulness. There is
less danger that money will be
wasted on unnecessary things.
candy soda water, car fares, rib
bons laces or tempting bargains.
Wastefulness may be in buying
things Just because a friend has
the same; novelties seen in shop
windows: articles reduced in
price and not really needed.
A girl who has an allowance
from her parents should be as
careful about spending it as II she
were earning her own money. To
keep within an allowance is an
education. Thrift thus >will be
acquired. Prudence in choosing
well and in purchasing, fore
thought in managing expenses
will be learned.
And, above all there should be
appreciation Of responsibility in
spendin. Besides fortune is
tickle. There is sometimes a
change from riches to poverty.
Habits OF economy and of saw
ing Systematically are of value to
every woman, no matter what her
circumstances, Girls who are
earning salaries should realize
that to learn how to spend and
Row to save is Of vital conse-
quence. a good plan is to count
up income and expenses, decide

clothes and recreations and what
must be saved
Living within an income and
saving little from II gives
sense of freedom, and there will
be no effort to make a small
amount cover the same ground

as much.
While girls are young. strong
and have regular employment Il

in a bank where the money will
draw interest. Something for a
rainy day." or in case OF illness
or for a summer vacation is good
thing to have.
Even little dreaming does ~

in saving for the time when
girl is about to begin married
life.
Misery habits are most objec
