FRIDAY.

FRIDAY.
We'll to return to the item of advance
ment, began Mrs. Hooper after the mem
bers of the Economic Section Of the Wom-
ans Club had come to order for the
afternoon session, we can only devote
half the usual time to the discus sion be-
cause the president has reminded me that
we are expected TO join the meeting OF
the entire cluh-in the large room where
they are taking up the questions that
| were considered by the National Fedora
ton. This is the last Friday in the
month and it was decided that this one
day must be given over to the general
meetings and not just to the work of our
own section"
-"Oh dear me-" said one woman, II am
so interested In this budget that ia
much rather go right on with 1t than
bother with the disarmament confer
ence. or womans duty at the polls or our
relation to the press"
We'll we have ito make time for
consideration of an these things" re-
sponded Mrs. Hooper, IF we are to be
the we'll rounded women that the siren
uous times demand that we shall be. SO
/ let us do what we can with the budget
today in the time that is allotted
well We decided to cut the amount
we were spending for books and maya
zines and newspapers to what 1t costs
| for a subscription TO the local paper
which is about twenty five cents 4 week
If our incomes are not over fifty dollars
| u week"
THAT seems absolutely necessary" an
swered Mrs. Hooper. but that IS no
real hardship when there is as good a
/ library as we have in Mayheld at our
disposal"
"The next item under the head Of adj
vancement is contributions to tue
church" suggested the Bride wishing to
! help Mrs. Hooper get on with the sub
| jeet without further objection from those
| who might insist that spending more
money for periodicals was an absolute
I necessity"
well. If the church can get anything
out of what is left Of my So week IL
won't be enough to keep the minister
! going long" laughed one woman. And
| why consider church contributions be
fore other things that are more neces-
sary?"
II don't think there is anything quite
more necessary than that each one OF
/ us. should contribute something toward
| the support Of an institution that stands
| for the moral and spiritual lie OF iAe
community, as the church does. IN
swered Mrs. Hooper little severely.
| But il can be only a few cents ac-
cordIng to this arrangement grumbled
another woman. ut seems to me 1t
| would he better 10 take care OF our
4 dutv 70 the church out of some other
norton of the budget where there might
/ be a chance Of a balance once In
while"
| NO" said Mrs. Campbell coming to
the rescue as she usually did, IF you
take twenty-five cents a week out Of the
| advancement allowance and put 1t IN
| the contribution hox every Sunday, at
the end Of the year you have given thir-
| teen dollars toward the support OF the
! church arhl II every single individual In
| Mayfeld did that regularly and con
/ seientf6usIy It. would amount to rather
decent income. taken as a whole
"That Is the real virtue attached to
| giving a small sum each week. continued
! the Bride. "You pay It regularly ana
in the end it really counts for more than
one realizes"
| "There Is another thing to be considered
even when the church donation from
many families must Of necessity be as
| small as twenty five cents week ana
that is that each child in the family
should feel that part OF that contribution
/ IS coming from him as his individual re-
! sponsibility toward the church, said
Mrs. Hooper.
ooh. Mrs. Hooper," exclaimed the small
| blonde woman who was always Directing
edo you mean to say that miserable
little twenty Ave cents ought to be divided
/ nm among the members of the family 10
mt into the plate instead Of the head or
! the house contributing it all In one
sum-"
| "WelI," responded Mrs. Hooper with
embarrassment IN her voice because OF
the scornful remark Of the lady who had

however small, in actually paying their
share toward the expenses of what they
are being taught they should always
support"
their pennies or their spending money or
money they earn and put It into the con
! tribution box insisted the woman who
had spoken first, THAT would be the
way to teach them to share
''Not at all" said Mrs. Hooper good
naturally. zone objection to that ia that
# would be too irregular and there would
be nothing definite or tangible about 1t
and the second reason is that every
member of the family should have
his inst share Of the money you are ex-
pending from your income for just the
purpose for which 1t is designed In the
budget, and with % cents a week as the |
family church contribution, each person |
should have his small quota to put into |
the contribution box just as he gets his
share of clothing money for his special
needs"
well I think 1t is rather absurd"
grumbled the woman
"But fine the way 1t works out" as
serted Mrs. Campbell.
