and mutilate themselves that we leave
packages on the stairs so our friends

them and perhaps break our legs or

Too Much Money Isn't tie Trouble I'm
Win the Boys and Girls of Todau
It's Their Complete Ignorance Of the Value Of Dollars and
Cen,s-They Always Get Just What They Want

COMEBODY had said that the
- trouble with children today the
good old subject Of conversation, 10
that they have too much money.
But some one else explained the
whole situation. Zone family will sny
to a child, We can't give you a large
allowance, but to make up for It. you
may have the use Of the car when you
want IT," she sGid. And another CT
your having a car Of your own, ana
how, but we'll give you an allowance
that will make it up to you y And then
the two get together with the car and
the money and you never can tell where
they are going to end up!'
The innocent parents of the girl who
has the use Of the car seldom put two
and two together in this logical way:
And II all the parents who substi.
tute a liberal allowance for the use Of
a car would bring their children up to
regard money as money and not con.
fetti, It wouldn't be necessary.
But very few boys and girls WHO
have reached the automobile license age
know anything about the value OF
money ac all.
They have been brought up to think
Of it as something that never runs
short, something that they need not
bother to take very good care Of be-
cause there's always lots more where
that came from.
DEOPIE to whom $40 means whole
L weeks food supply. or n whole sea-
sons hats, or all Of $40 toward this
months rent. gasp with horror ut the
sight of a twelve year old pulling n
SiO bill out from among other bills in
his pocket to treat his friends ut the
drug store, or buy a lollypop.
But it doesn't even give him a. thrill
he's been doing 1t for no long that the
only thing that would give him a shock
In the way of money would have to be
something that is too big to carry
around in his pocket.
IT'S very nice for the children not to
i have to suffer for lack Of money. not
to have to skimp and save and go with
out candy and pleasures and fun that

With leap of his heart he visualizcd
her. The thought intoxicated him, he
couldn't leave Judy precipitately ! he
wanted her to feel that he appreciated
what she had done. the fact that she
had made no scene, that there had been
no useless tears and recriminatiOns.
Her voice speaking broke the ST..
lence.
Don't wait for dinner, If you d
rather not" And the simple sentence
gave Rand the release that he needed.
Here was the old Judy speaking, the
woman who thought of wifchood in
terms of meals served Mt regular times.

it stlflcd him. With this new joy

\ moment later he was gone. and yet
as he strobe down the block he felt that
his leavetaking had been abrupt, and
somehow unsatisfying. 1t bothered

first time she had been reasonable; She

Free at Last!

1CDY'S terror at the fact that Rand
q was planning to leave her was
nothing in comparison to the pain in
her heart. She had wild Impulse to
throw her pride to the winds and plead
with him.
Hot words rose to her lips. She
wanted to tell him that she had changed ;
that in the future everything would b.
different. But how could she do that
Hadn't he told her that her kind of love
was not the kind he wanted? Hadn't
he flung in her face the fact that he
loved another woman? And what else
was 1t he had said?
God knows, / don't want to hurt
you!'
Hurt her! Judy felt ut that moment
that nothing could ever hurt her again.
The mere fact that he had told her the
brutal. unvarnishcd truth had stabbed
her again and again. but he must never
suspect that she cared SO much. She
doubted at that moment that he woulL
believe her even if she told him of hpi
love. He would think it ruse tc
,hold him in the chains that bound hin
to her.
And so at that moment, Judy re-
deemed herself. She paid in heart
blood for every hurt that she hat
caused Rand in the past. She raised hel
