Beatrice Fairfax Writes Problems Workers
Especially for Washington Women

Is there a Puritanical streak in
your make up that keeps
= melancholy account Of your af-
fairs and assures you that what
ever is difficult, unhappy or hu-
initiating must necessarily be good
for you?
Even granted that it may be good
for you, please don't, out Of the
kindness Of your heart and the
morbidity Of your conscience, feel
obliged to prescribe this depressing
dose for the rest Of your family,
particularly your young daughter,
if you have one.
We have expert evidence to the
effect that nothing is so destruc-
tive Of beauty and charm as the
constant adjustment Of youthful
high spirits to the yoke Of subjec-
ton. If your daughter is never
allowed to enjoy her birthright Of
youth and happiness those two
greatest assets Of beauty will 90
by default. She may be young in
years, but a settled aspect of de-
feat or resentment will play havoc
with that first radiance that comes
only with youth.
Il may be we'll to quote Ruskin
on the subject: do not think you
can make a girl lovely IL you do
not make her happy. There is not
one restraint you put on a girls
good nature-there is not one
check you give to her instincts of
affection or of eftort-which will
not be indelibly written on her
features, with a hardness which
is all the more painful because it
takes away the brightness from the
eyes of innocence and the charm
from the brow of virtue"
A Plea For Wholesome Amusement.
Now please do not interpret these
remarks to mean the turning Of
your daughter loose upon a dance
hall or some doubtful recreation
ground. That would be destructive
to more things than beauty, and
would be quite suicidal in fact.
But 1 could not resist quoting Rus
kin to bolster up my plea for more
wholesome amusement, especially
for young girls who earn their own
livings.
In these days of organized social
welfare work there is no reason
why every girl should not belong
to some club or association that
helps young people to have good
time. The War Camp Community
Service has done magnifcently,
so have many Of the churches and
Community Centers, and it is to be
hoped that their efforts to give
young people the fun that is as
necessary as food and sunshine, are
not going to slacken. The neces-
sity for providing recreation for
young people is just as important
now that the war is over, perhaps
The Washington times., 1919-08-18

clandestinely or you will break
her spirit to the point of making
her eccentric and melancholy.
This is the burden Of many let
terS that come to me from young
self-supporting girls: 81 am old
enough to earn my own living, but
am not old enough to have
friends. or be given any spending
money"
Every thinking mother must re-
alize this is an impossible state of
affairs. And one that is calculated
to drive a bread-winning daughter
away from home. If your daughter
brings home a pay envelope and
shares it with the family, she is
certainly entitled to more liberty
and consideration than il she were
still going to school,
Don't lose her friendship by con-
tinually blocking her plans, keep
it and her confidence by entering
heartily into her arrangements for
recreation. Know her friends, let
her bring them to the house; 90
out OF your way to become ac-
quainted with the girls and boys
that help to make up her little
world. In this way you will be
able to guide her choice Of associ-
ates, even while you do not appear
to do so.
If it isn't possible for you to go
along on the piCnics and outings
get some older woman to act in
your place; perhaps the young
men may ridicule the Chaperone
idea, but the chaperone may be
camoufaged az another guest A
married daughter does very we'll
in this capacity, and she will
doubtless be young enough not to
act as a kill-joy.
Young People Are Conservative.
Young people are, at heart, the
greatest conservatives on earth,
and when they realize it is "'better
form" and puts them in a more
favorable light to have a married
woman go along on their little out
ings, they agree. They like to have
other friends regard them as COM
ing from civilized homes where
the conventions of life are observed
they have no wish to be regard
ed as social Bolsheviki. And i'm
putations of cheapness or vulgarity
are about the last they care about
incurring.
There may be trouble involved
in becoming acquainted with your
daughters friends and seeing that
the young people she goes with are
desirable, but the trouble is worth
while.
And don't imagine because you
are tired and fifty and like to sit
in the armchair of evenings that
your daughter is equally tired and
ready for the armchair at twenty.
II she is there is something wrong
with her or you.

How Much Is "TOO Much"
Money?

One of the attorneys asking Henry Ford the other
day about his finances. How much money he made How
much he paid the Government in income taxes This was
part of his answer:
''The more pay the Government the better am
suited The less money have the less trouble have.
Here is an interesting question.
How much money does man have to have before it
becomes troublesome?
famous speculator who has good deal of money
some days and probably very little others said
that he expected live the time when would be
considered disgraceful to be very rich.
It is worth while to know what great men, really great
with great minds and frequently small purses have
said about wealth.
Read and think about their opinions.
HORACE, the great Latin poet: Money is a hand
maiden thou nowest to it, mistress if thou know
est not. -
SWIFT: "a wise man should have money in his head,
but not in his heart
CARLYLE: money in truth can do much but it can
not do ALL We must know the province of it, and Conne
it there and even spun it back when it wishes to get
farther"
BEN FRANKLIN Money never made man happy
yet nor will it. There is nothing its nature to produce
happiness The more has the more he wants. That
proverb of the wise Rely upon it. Better
little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and
trouble herewith "
BURKE: eff we command our wealth we shall be
rich and free; if wealth commands us, poor
indeed"
SAMUEL JOHNSON: Money and time are the heavi-
burdens of e and the unhappiest of all mortals are
those who have of either than they know how
DR.. Johnson whose mothers maiden name by the way
Ford not perhaps great poet but these lines of
his may serve point moral and adon editorial:
To purchase Heaven has gold the power?
Can gold remove the mortal hour?
In life can love bO bought with gold?
Are friendships pleasures to be sold?
No-aIl that's worth wish-a thought
Fair virtue gives unbrbed, unbought
Cease then trash thy hopes to bind,
Let nobler views engage thy mind
But shoes did not cost thirty dollars pair in Dr. John
sons day. and dinner at the Cheshire Cheese was matter
Of mau expenditure.

The Handsome Drug Clerk Again.
In order not to allow an injustice
to stand uncorrected, THORNTON
D. FISHER of 1912 U Street S. e.
undertakes to straighten out the
question of the Handsome Anacostia
Drug Clerk.
Says he:
"An article, published a short
while ago in the Heard and Seen
column, states that owing to slight
indisposition, occasioned by partak-
ing too freely of the good things OF
life at Benedict, Nd, you stopped
at Weiss Pharmacy for a small
dose of bread soda, and was waited
upon by a gentleman, characterized
bv YOU as the handsomest and most
pleasant drug clerk in the world.
Having been the prescription
clerk in Weiss Pharmacy for over
ten wears, and having only recently
entered upon other work, l decided
10 visit the scene of my former
labors and ascertain who the new
drug clerk was. While l was en-
ployed there, beauty was entirely
foreign to Weiss Pharmacy and all
traces of the proprietor's early
beauty had entirely flown or else
was kept safe from all prying eyes
either in the bottom Of his trunk
or in his safe with the corks.

HEALY had waited on you for the
bread soda and 1UGs, and IS, entitled

l presume that you are familiar
with the recent order Of Secretary
Glass whereby discharged service
men who have allowed their insur-
ance to lapse may be reinstated,
upon proper application, without
payment Of back premiums exesDt
for the month in which they were
discharged and for the month in
which they apply for reinstatement.
As an ex-soldier the thought has
occurred to me that perhaps Secre-
tary Glass does not appreciate the
fact ths:t his order, while il confers
an undoubted benefit upon those men
who, through no fault Of their own,
have been compelled to let their
premiums lapse, and who desire 70
be reinstated, it inflicts a hardship
upon others. / refer to those men
discharged from the service six
months or more ago. Many Of them
were for a considerable time unable
to obtain congenial employment and
consequently could not pay the in
surance premiums, although they
desired to do so. Their policies
lapsed, likewise their protection. A
number of these men have now Sc
cured employment and, desiring 20
be reinstated, have managed TO
scrape up sufficient funds TO pay
back premiums. Others, being un-
aware of Secretary Glass recent or
der are daily continuing to do so. In
this connection understand that the
W. r. /. Bureau has as yet not re-
celved official orders to reject these
premiums. 1t is very clear that
these men are paving out hard
earned dollars which they can IN af-
ford to lose and are deriving no
benefit therefrom. unless it is the
intention Of the Government to re-
fund these payments, and the order
referred to makes no mention Of re-
funds. In my opinion these men are
being sadly imposed upon. What say
you? ". P. B.
