DIFFERENT KINDS.

Dear Social Corner Friends: FirEt allow me to thank the editor for my prize check for las{ month and also the writers for the many good ideas and interesting letters, and for their appre- citation of letters.
 Ethelyn: You started a very deep question about the allowance of 8 wife for there are so many kinds Of wives and husbands, you know. I heard a young wife during the high prices of the war, say, "But I have my allowance just the same" and She did. and spent much of 1t needlessly notwithstanding there had been sickness an dheavy extra ex- pense both for her and her children to be paid for out of the usual income.
 l think sometimes father needs an al loWance.
 Another young wife of a soldier spent all have pay from him and all she earned while he was in service, laying all the latest eotAins.
 But the most Of the wives I know are not that kind, those were tho excep tions. I hope
 One of the haooisst families I ever knew was one where the father was 2 rich miser. He furnished good hoene and food but not much else. The other had small income Of her own, fortu- nately They had several children, fine
 
 When the daughters were married the mother had to run in debt, whioh was entirely agairst her principle and GUS tom, for the wedding expenses. They wore g successful. happy family on ac- count of the lovely character Of the mother. She respected her husband and gave him credit for his success and where he failed she sIypiied the lack, making the most ard th0 best Of every #r. ~ income much that he could have sap piled.
 Another k,9d ot case where husoand and wife both earned all tho time and deposited the 5oint savings fa one saw ings bank book in the husbands name result he disappeared with another woman and took all the funds. I could never decide which was the meaner, the husband, or that woman.
 Eut I do think that every girl ought 70 work and earn. whether necessary or not, for the sake\of the experience and 10 learn the worth of money and to know how to synspati1ize with those who have to meet the vezat.oas of business life.
 think t would be welA to make 1t a part Of the re~uf@R school wor'z, for each girl to work at least 2. few weeks each summer vacation. f she did not
  substitute for some working rirl, giving her the nay and little vacation. She should feel n honor bound to do as well as the regular worker if possible
 enjoyed Sprybird's letter. I should say she is model mother, at least she seems to understand one of the most important principals Of oaild training, teach:ug them to decide and to do right. by knowing the reason. Teach them not to obey you, but to know and ebey right"
 A very small child vino does not know many words will obey shake of your hand with q look of disgust or dlsspproval on your face. They under stand motions and looks-your express s;ons-before they understand your words
 There are many cases like the neigh bors child and thare ought to he some way to stop it, the humane society would not allow an animal to be used as cruelty as some childre1 are, not only in poor families, but often among those considered the best.
 What can any one be thinking of to keep q child all excited and in trouble most of the time. How would the mother feel to be kept as unhappy as she keeps the children, and all so need less--a child will rot obey but they will do right if you explain the reason so they get it. Of course being children you have 10 continually remind them Of the reasons. But that is easier than the trouble and punishment.
