Cents or Per Gents :?
By Mrs. Christine Frederick,
The DISTINGUISHED Authority on Household EFFICIENCY

= row do women estimate? Do
they just keep track Of
= = what they spend, or could
they tell, at q moment. what per
cent of their income is spent for
food, for clothes or for rent? The
question was recently discussed
among several of us and that IL
why am going to take It up here
to-day with all my readers.
After talking 1t over we were
forced to decide that most women
IN the home count in cents, not in
per cents. And there is big differ
ence! A woman will tell you that
her food bill is SOS per month, or
that she has to pay "a weekly for
her laundry, or some other figure.
but she will not, or cannot, tell
what percentage of the total In
come 1t is that she spends on each
of these needs.
Now, keeping track Of cents is .
good thing--it is what the child
does with the pennies he receives
for a gift. or in pay for his odd
Jobs. He knows he has, let us say,
twenty-eight cents, and he wants to
spend ten cents for candy. He will
tell you he has eighteen cents left
but he won't tell you that he is
spending almost so per cent of his
income for candy, because he
doesn't see 1t! And so, really, that
woman who can tell only the
amount she spends, without under
standing its relation to other
amounts, is just about in the posi-
ton of child to the whole pro.
blem OF the cost Of living.
- For, just knowing what she
spends in dollars and cents will
not enable her to compare her ex-
penditures with any standards as
worked out by other groups. I'm
less she knows the relation Of her
spending to the spending of others
in the same class, and on compar-
able incomes. she has no guide
whatever. For example, we say
that during the war the soldiers
were fed for about rs cents per
capita per day: we say that in such
and such an institution each pa
tent costs 50 per day; or We say
that on an income of $1,000 yearly
the rent item must not exceed rs
per cent of the total income, and
20 on.
Now, It is this comparison which
IL so valuable to any homemaker,
or person interested in spending
his income wisely and with the
most profit. II, for example, I
know that a family Of the same
number and income as mine can
manage ON spending only 30 per
cent of its income on food then I.
too, should be able to manage on
The same amount. Should not? II

It. II she figures in percentages she
will see that $50 is two-fifths of 40
per cent of her income on food. or
course this is far too high, but she
may never have known 1t, unless
she estimated the percentage way.
To make the matter extremely
clear, take the case Of young girl
who came to me, and among other
matters told me how she spent her
money. She earned about $40
weekly. OF that sum she spent as
high as s12, or even often $14. on
clothes, since she lived at home
and paid neither board nor room.
She thought nothing of that at all.
until we talked 1t over. She had,
for years, been spending proper
tionately such sum. When, how
ever, / told her that $12 was three
fifths, or 60 per cent of her total
income, which she was spending

on dress, It looked quite a bit DIFF
ferent. To spend $12 may seem
nothing, and only a right and
proper thing (if you have the
money!; but to be made to see that
that sum is go per cent of all you
earn seems more serious, which 1t
really is.
Our children come to study per-
centages about their fifth grade in
school, and questions of what per
cent of $3.50 is $30?" and similar
questions fill page after page of the
arithmetic. 1t is fine part of the
common arithmetic, and one that
should be well emphasized. Per
haps even the children can help
mother at this point and make a
game Of it all with her.

It will be the most grateful and
the most identifying bath you ever

Do you realize that the daily walk
Is cheaper and thousand times
more effective than any cosmetic?
It throws of the enveloped cloak
of lassitude that hides beauty. No
woman ia so attractive when she
is listless as when she is thor
oughly and happily alive. The walk
awakens the sleeping or submerged
self. It makes life under any cir
cumstances seem worth while. And
a woman to keep her beauty must
always think life n worth while.
I have seen a woman start on
her walk pale, dull eyed, with the
relaxed dropping lips that give the
appearance OF greater age, and
have seen her return from that
walk an hour later. her hstlessness
merged into animation and her sal
lowness replaced by . clear ptna
skin; her eyes sparkling and youth
fully bright. and her lips curling
upward into q smile OF hAppinesl
and content. Her step was springs
and she looked and felt like anoth
err woman. BY the magic of daily
walk any woman can seem at least
five years younger and the gain e
her health will be incalculable.

In the same condition should be

sum, and so on.
Many organizations are working
out tables Of percentages and In
comes for the benefit Of the family
and worker. There have recently
been worked out by certain State
commission the percentages OF
what is spent by some 500 families
in that State. The Governments
annual report on budgets II also q
similar work along this line.
But all this is worthless unless
the individual homemaker takes
the trouble to estimate her own
family's percentages. II she can't
do 1t herself land she surely can,
since so many bookkeepers are
women), let her ask Friend Hus-
band to help her. It IL . common,
Joint problem, and there Is no rea-
son why the woman in the home
should shoulder It all alone. The
efficient man always can figure
"gross," and met" and overhead"
and all the rest. II he can estimate
thus practically for his outside
business, why cannot he assist in
estimating 1t for his family or home
business? A tactful handling and
cooperation will be welcomed BY
the earnest, sensible wife.
Let every housekeeper keep &C.
counts and learn to estimate per
centages, and 20 per cent of our
living problems will have been
solved. Suppose she takes up that
little red account book in which
she has as many columns as she
has items of expense-food, cloth.
ing, shelter. doctor, amusement,
light, fuel, toilet goods and so on
and enters each item in 1t every
day. At the end OF the week It
win take not more than fifteen
minutes to add UP what Is spent
each week on every item. At the
end of the month another fifteen
minutes will reveal the total
amounts spent each month.
This Is the place where the aver
age woman usually stops in her fig
uring. But she must go right on!
Instead of being satisfied to know
that she has spent so many dollars
for food, SO much for clothes, so
much for other expenses, she must
make quick estimate of what pro-
portion that sum is of her total in
come. For example, If she spends
$50 monthly for food and the fam
lily income is 5000, then, OF course.
she is spending one-quarter, or %
per cent for food. And that is a
fair and moderate per cent. But
suppose she finds she is spending
$50 for food, and thinks nothing OF
