SATURDAY.
''What are you going to do with your
money when you cara 1t ?" inquired Mr..
Hooper of Roger as he hurried through
his breakfast so that he could reach Mr..
Aliens place at s o'clock to begin his
first days work.
"Oh I'll let mother say as to that"
answered Roger, shifting the re-
sponsibility of decision to some one
else as he usually did. 5
This trait IN Roger worried his father
quite as much as Helens evident desire
for stylish clothes and expensive
surroundings irritated Mrs. Hooper.
But haven't you any idea of your
own?" asked his father, "you were so
very anxious to work for someone on
Saturdays because Of the opportunity
that it gave you to earn money that I
thought of course that you have some
very definite notions as TO what you
wanted to do with it."
why I suppose he will Just add 1t to
our weekly budget won't you Roger?"
asked Mrs. Hooper.
why l suppose so mother" replied
Roger uncertainty. 81 should think we
could add it to your advancement money
that you say is only three dollars a
week-it would give US just that much
more to do things with"
Il don't believe that Is the right idea
at ALL" said Mr.. Hooper emphaticaIIv.
''If you are earning three dollars a week
I'm sure you ought to make budget of
your own and use the money for definite
things every week either for yourself or
for the family, but the main thing is
that l want you to manage it as an
individual income
But three dollars a week Henry" ex-
claimed Mrs. Hooper, that is absurd"
Not at all, my dear" replied Henry.
firmly. Roger has to get used to man
aging on his own account sometime and
this is a good way for him to begin"
Il guess I'd know what I was going
to do with it if I worked for it." said
Helen, pert1y.
Il guess you would" laughed her IA
Their, but 1 don't believe it would be
anything very sensible that you'd decide
to spend 1t for"
well, you know I had an idea I'd
like to buy q book week so we could
start a library" said Roger, beginning
to defend himself, but If mother doesn't
think that is the best thing to do or If
she thinks I ought to save it or buy my
shoes with it or anything like that I
don't see why I shouldn't be willing"
Mrs. Hooper beamed at him with ap-
proval, but his father replied to his first
suggestion, ignoring the last part Of his
speech.
Starting a book fund seems q very
good idea to me-" he said crumpIing up
his paper napkin which was one of Mrs
Hooper's economies that he hated, "and
if you decide to put half of it aside every
week for Il book-you will have a dollar
and a half still to dispose of or to save
or 10 do anything you think best with"
"Wen, I suppose I ought to save It,"
answered Roger, rising from the table in
haste to get away.
well, think about it." said his IA
Their, hardly any one ever saves fifty
per cent of his income but beginning
with a big percentage of saving isn't
bad"
"Oh, Roger" began Helen, couldn't
we go to the movies"
But her brother had grabbed his hat
and was dashing out the back door in
his haste to begin his job.
In the afternoon Mrs. Hooper finished
her business corner" in the kitchen
during the intervals between the baking
for tomorrow. She had always kept her
cooking receipts in a file. so all she had
to do was put them in 4 fresh box and
they took their place on the shelf with
the other two boxes of household rec
Ords. She solved the problem of fling
her bills and receipts in large envelopes
and her clippings she also put in big
envelopes SKIP inches with a label pasted
on the right hand corner with the name
of the contents Of the envelope written
on 1t.
