LETTERsOF TEssIE AND JOE

Dear Tessie:
Speaking of heat, this tank town has

Joke.
/ really ought TO be grateful for one
thing, though. Now that the railroads have
boosted rates 20 per cent l can sit down
and figure out all the money I'm saving
that I'd be losing if / had to pay my own
travelling expenses. | don't expect you to
try to understand that, Tessie, if you'r
very busy. You and figures never did get
along very good together.
Sometimes I'm almost tempted to
come out for govt ownership of railroads,
but the trouble with that is we had it
once. Not that don't think govt owner
ship would be good thing if we couldn't
get on SO much better without it. hear
the govt owns everything In Russia, but
there's not much over there now worth
owning, SO maybe that's not fair test.
Not that / want to knock Russia. | be-
lieve as soon as Russia finds out what it
Is she thinks she really wants and realizes
she can't have it, the whole situation will

liking 20 per cent clear velvet by riding
ound all day without having to pay the
ra fare?" You don't have to try to
Irk that one out either, Tessie, unless
want to, but if you do it will help you
derstand the other one.

and you were probably right, each time
It seems singular that in this period
of enlightened study of childhood, the idea
should still linger in few quarters that
because children are hard on furniture"
it is foolish or extravagant to have fine
things or rich things about, during the
best years of the family life, those when
the children spend more time in the home
than they'll ever spend again.
Rather, the reverse. If your children
are hard on furniture, all the more need
that the furniture should be of the best
quality and the strongest construction
such as is notably typified by the splendid
furniture assemblage in the Wanamaker
August Sale; and of such beauty as to COM
mand the respect and appreciation which
they can be easily trained to give.
The girl who has always had things"
is not the one who sets kettle full of hot
water on the Spanish leather seat of a

Boys will be boys, and try to stand up

but what if the chair were ranshackle-
