This article is to be part OF a seri-
Gus effort to analyze current condi-
tionsH Obviously, the manner of life
prevailing now is not the manner of
life which prevailed when we or our
parents were children. The children
Of today must face demands which
we did not face. They need things
we did not need. But do they need
allowances? And what effect will al
lowances have on their characters?
Many American parents want to know
these things.
1t would be a comparatively easy
matter for me to write my personal
opinion on the subject, but such an
article would be of little value. The
public needs to hear the experiences
of alb kinds of people dealing with
all sorts of conditions. The expert
teachers arc particularly desired.
So I am sending out this S. .. s.!
Will you tell frankly what you think
about allowances for children, what
you have observed in cases where
allowances have been given, what
your experience has been with chill
dren who come under your care. Don't
mince matters. State frankly what
you think. This article will appear
not only in this paper but in many
papers throughout tho country. You
will have put yourself on record on
a widespread discussion. Your letter
may be sent to me, in care OF the
editor of this paper, and signed with
either your own name or a fictitious
one.
Thank you. pal

Are You on Time,

,0NE thing that dinerentiates tho
~ man Of modern times in a civil
lied community from the man of
primitive times or of an uncivilized
community is that for the one the
ability to keep track Of time down to
the minute is essential, while for the
other there Is no such requirement.
What would the great cities OF mod
ern civilization be II every one did
not have the same time? How could
We possibly manage II trains and cars
did not run on something like exact
time schedule; what II theaters did
offices and stores did not have a def
mite time to open?
In the old days, you know, the OBJ
ject of church bells and courthouse
bells and school bells was to tell
people who lved in the adjoining re-
would soon begin. The people in
those days had only an approximate
notion OF time. When people de-
pended on sun dials and hourglasses
they could not possibly do anything
more than approximate the time.
If you are one of those men or
women who are not able to get to
work on time. who can't for the life
Of you reach the theater on time, and
who have tho greatest difficulty in
keeping an appointment according to
agreement, 1t may be that you. are
your pre-modern ancestors. You
should have beeH born q, thousand
years ago. You aren't really I'D to
the times you are living in. And you
will find that as soon as q man or
woman: gets on the track that is 60
ing to lead him to quick success he
gets in the habit of keeping close
track OF time.

This particular pair was of black
cloth. tight fitting from shoulder to

black. some jade. All of them were
covered with strip of black cloth

The dressmakers have found out
that the sleeveless gown has such a
powerful place in public affection
that it is impossible to oust 1t. So
they have given in to the public. One
sees bare arms, also arms covered

Possibly the dressmakers are
weary of well doing. II the public

curiosity.
Then, one day, a woman with imagi-
nation had the idea that II the old
yellowed keyboard were taken out.
and the space behind 1t fitted with
pigeon-holes and drawers, she would
have a lovely little desk. "No sooner
said than DONE" as the fairy tales say.
The spinet graduated from the neg
tween the windows
The idea spread among other wom-
en-, and to all the antique shops in
the country. All the little old spinets
had their vitals removed and their
ancient ivory keys replaced with ink
and stamp boxes. The size and shape
Of the desk was as charming as the
old instrument had been, and women
who had no spinets handed down
from their Great-aunt Marias began
to prowl among tho antiques in dusty
shops hunting for them.
OF course, It was not long before
the furniture manufacturers caught
the vogue, and now one may buy at
tractive little spinet desks that never
shook to the earnest pedaling OF
small feet in the long-ago. They are
brand-new. but are faithful copies OF
the little cid spfnets, and II you can
not have one Of the genuine antiques,
you may still have a spinet-desk at
which to pen your notes.
There are some women, to be sure
and I am one of them-who would
rather have the quaint little instru-
ment unchanged-yellow keys and
all, even if I never had a desk! My
own old melodeon stands with an old
singing book on its rack, and two old
pewter candlesticks at each end of
the keyboard-as demure and old
fashioned as little old lady in q cap.
Every one smiles who sees it; then
each one says, alas, "Why don't you
have 1t done over into desk?
