Questions Answered by Alicia Hoyt.
Miss Hoyt will answer in this col

quette addressed to her in care of this
paper. If a personal answer is desir-
ed enclose a two-cent stamp.)
MOTHER: 1 consider it very i'm
portant that children should be taught
the value of money; therefore l be-
lieve that every child. after he has
reached the age of six, should have d
small allowance for which he will
have to account In the case of young
children, this may be used only for
toys, and it may be only dime or a
quarter a week; but the child should
learn that if all is spent on the first
day, he will have no more during the
week Even in wealthy families, the
allowance should not be large.
DICK: A young man must not ac
cept an invitation to a ball unless he
intends to dance. 1t is a discourtesy
to the hostess, as well as to every
young lady present, to fail to do so.
Every person who accepts an invita-
ton should feel under obligation to
do all he can to add to the general
pleasure.

JUDGED BY HER PERSONALITY
Physical Tests Are No Longer En-
pIoyed In Making the Selection Of
"Perfect Woman"

The British perfect woman has been
discovered. She is forty and the
mother OF Ave children. There are no
statistics as TO height, weight or bust
measurement. The physical features
are not the most important part,
though they are to be taken for grant
ed from an array OF social and spirit
nal qualities. Here Is what makes
her the perfect woman: She is In
happy circumstances, living In beau
tiful part OF the country, few miles
from big town. She is the center of
good home, In which there is a
standard OF cleanliness and comfort
and where good taste is everywhere
visible, In furniture, carpets, curtains,
wall paper, ornaments and clothes,
And then the description goes on to
say:
"The Ideal woman is sensible and
businessllke and her home is a place
of peace. She Is patriotic and inter
ested In politics. She takes walks
rides, bicycles, climbs, dances, skates
rows and plays games. She can ride
| n horse and drive motorcar."
| Thus II is the personality, not the
/ person. that makes the perfect woman
| One often sees where the grace ant
beauty break through the fashion ant
| form and make even a plain person at
tractive. The latest test of the per
feet woman is spiritual, not physical
