Limit the Family.

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
Have been an interested reader of
your page for some years and
think you have a wonderful oppor-
tunity to do a world of good, es-
pecially concerning the questions
that perplex young girls.
Your answer entitled Hopeless"
answering a question by a girl sign
ing her self Fourteen Today" about
holding hands with strange men at
the movies" seems to me a little
bit too severe.
Words of reproof, II spoken too
condemningly, are apt to do more
harm than good, and besides you
know it is human nature to want
to do forbidden things and young
girls are no exception to this rule.
From IL to 16 most girls feel
themselves strangely attracted to-
ward men in ways oftentimes aw-
fully hard to resist.
When / was her age I did these
very things myself, and so did most
of the girls who were my chums. /
will admit that conduct of this kind
is very indiscreet, but girls do in
dicreet things and yet seem to grow
up into lovely women. l am % now
and have a nice little home Of my
own, and / sure understand how
hard it is to resist temptation, be-
cause l was that age myself once.
Dear Miss Fairfax, do you think
it is right to limit the size of ones
family? I have two lovely kiddies,
but l feel that we an not properly
care for and educate more than this
know this Is q vary daEcata guess
ton, but want your advice. Sim
cerely, MARGIE.
You are entirely right, but there
are times when the origin of these
letters leads an experienced person
to believe they are written more as
a joke than in a serious vein. Too,
the writing is often tout Of proper
ton" to the age given-as 1t was in
this case. Such letters we treat
lightly. There are cases where it
seems only fair to the children to
limit the size Of the family, but the
happiest people in the world are
the parents Of many children. Life
is so much more full, so much more
bright, so much more worth the liv-
ing, Two are not many, remember.
Most any couple can provide and
educate four If they are not too close
together. Why not regulate their
ages rather than the number?

The Family Pocket Book

1t is a far cry from the man who
asked his wife what did you do
with the last nickel l gave your" to
the man who puts half his income in
his wife's name as soon as it is re-
ceived. Down that long vista we
find the stage at which the man
gave his wife a set allowance and
then, nearer, the stage at which the
man and woman decided together
what allowance she should have.
There are all too many families
at that earliest stage where the
woman is absolutely dependent on
her husbands generosity for every
penny. AS a system that practice is
entirely too archaic to admit Of ar
gument. 1t belongs to the dark
ages when woman belonged body
and soul to her husband. We smile
today at the discussions of the early
church fathers as to whether a
woman had a soul or not. We all
know she has soul and a mind and
a body of her own. Then why not

The allowance system of handling
household finances has many adher-
ents. Compared with the preceding
plan it has so many excellent points
that it can be highly recommended.
1t is definite and business-like and
the wife is spared the humiliation OF
asking for money. But the very
fact that a limit is set sugge-ts
that the wife's interest is not COM
pletely her husbands. The allow
ance does not usually fuctuate as
the income fuctuates Tin the case of
a nonsalaried NAM. If the income
goes down, then it is hardship
on the man to provide the usual

took special notice of Miss
Eighteen's very good and sensible
letter, but tell me why does the poor
girl always have to be the one to
look out? Aren't men supposed to
be the strong protector of the weak

the girl clean of thought and mind,
but the poor man wouldn't have
much chance for admiration If it
should be reversed.
Goodness me, the men Who read
this will think l am a regular man
