times, you know, feel just like going
uptown and spending the entire con-
tents OF my pay envelope for something
foolish and then seeing your budget
stagger under the body blow
ooh, HenryP' exclaimed Mrs. Hooper
reprOacbfully. You'd never have the
heart 20 do anything like that and your
inclination to revolt against a system
that has proved such a life saver to US
all these years would really not last till
you got uptown"
I'm not so sure" answered Henry
rebelliously. 81 can't bear to think of
Helens disappointment about no: being
able to join that class, and when the
| only thing that will keep her from it
is your insistence on not spending cent
for anything that You haven't scheduled,
| it puts me all out Of patience"
Mrs Hooper decided to ignore this last
remark of Henry's to avoid further dis
| cussiOn and after a few minutes said
| calmly: II have been feeling quite as
distressed as you have about Helens
disappointment if I have to tell her she
can't join the dancing class, and 1 haven't
said word to her, hoping that there
would be some way out of the difficulty.
Since you suggested that you would
turn back a dollar to my food account,
that viii take care of few extra things
Betty will need, and there will be no
further drain on my advancement account
for medicine, and if it were not for
paying the installments on the Doctors
bill, I'd manage it all right"
"There is one detached bit of money
that I've just thought of that will help
out little with that doctors BILL said
Henry suddenly. You know from those
two $50 Liberty bonds that we succeeded
in buying on the installment Plan in
1915, We have never clipped any of the
interest coupons, SO whatever is coming
to us on those has accumulated
THAT is true" answered Mrs. Hooper.
I'D really forgotten about that but
Now, don't tell me that belongs in one
Of your items and can't be touched to
help Helen out Henry exclaimed
quickly.
at is figured as part Of our income"
added Mrs Hooper, "but it certainly can
he applied to the doctors bill and while
It won't be a very great deal it will help.
and perhaps we can decide to use part
Of the savings account for such an emer-
gency and use that dollar week for
Helen"
I'D he almost inclined to sell one of
those bonds to straighten things up,
said Henry. then you wouldn't have to
be worried trying to manage on such
small margin
ooh. no we mustn't sell those bonds I'M
less we are really desperate" exclaimed
Mrs. Hooper. 1T was far too hard to get
them to part with them lightly. I'll try
and manage about Helen some way be-
cause not only do I think she should
learn how to dance when she is young
because 1t is a graceful accomplishment
but I hate to deprive her of the associa-
ton OF the little group Of children that
Mrs. Chaplin IS assembling
"And it would Seem too absurd for us
TO have to say we cant afford It," said
Henry. "when the fathers of most Of
those children are not earning much
more than I am"
II shall be interested to see when I go
back to the club and take up the sub
ject Of practical budgets with these
women as to just how they intend to
reconcile their SO a week allowed for adj
vancement with the expenditure of 81 a
week for dancing lessons for their chill
dren," concluded Mrs. Hooper smiling
wisely.
