In talking with girls all over the
country. Miss Allen has observed
that there are as many girls who
have home and family reaponHibili-
ties who don't spend all their
money on themselves as there arc
girls who do spend all their salaries
on themselves.
Some girls spend their money
very foolishly. In one city NUna
Allen found n girl who pawncd her
engagement ring to get money to
use In buying her trousscau. Tho
nsxt time her fiance came to- soc
her he noticed he was not wearin Z
her ring and asked her whore n
