the little ones he met on his journeys
afoot. There are those who have seen
him stop and talk with youngster
that he happened to meet on the
roadside, pat the little head on leav-
ing, and continue his journey, which
always led back to the growing
cathedral.
The humility of Bishop Harding
was one of the features that endeared
him to many, and it is doubtful If the
real place DIN church history that he de-
serves will ever be given him. for he
always sought to do something that
would advance some one else rather
than himself. He was beloved by all.
The day he was elected bishop he
was crossing the street after the
formal ceremonies had been finished,
when a motorman stopped his car
and, alighting, came forward to con.
graduate him. The car mans exam
pie was followed by the passengers.
Through all his life he associated
with men and women Of prominence.
but he always remained a commoner.

with Bishop Perry of Rhode Island,

win for him countless friends. He
came to Washington and soon we
learned to know that he was a true
Christian gentleman. In addition to
these qualifications, he was a man of
excellent balanced judgment and his
unfailing courtesy. even during some
strenuous times, gave US an insight
into the character Of the man.
"Of course, you will realize that we
Episcopalians in our church delibera-

some as an open forum. and In our
enthusiasm we sometimes become
rather positive, which is perfectly
natural among human beings, and
once or twice some Of us have been
rather, well, let us say, a wee bit
more than positive; but all through
any Of these meetings the bishop
would be calm and by some tactful

school in Boston. Mass:
Dear Madame:
r'Should the average American hoy
or girl have an allowance Most GER
tainly, Tt IS only through an allow
anoe that parents can give training
in thrift and in the use and value of
, money. The father has an income
that he must budget. the better to pay
all running expenses. Likewise each
child should have an allowance that
he should budget and keep accurate
accounts of all expenditures.
Children should receive money
which they need for lunches. carfare,
amusements, books. and what not,
and keep the accounts In the same
manner in which welI-ordered
household keeps accounts. Through
such an early training they will gain
valuable knowledge in money mat
ters and form habits in budget-mak-
ing. Later. when they assume family
responsibilities. they will be better

How large an allowance shall I
give my boy? That question ! have
been asked n thousand times In my
twenty years experience with boys.
That all depends on what Is to be
done with the allowance. Some par
ents pay all of the fixed charges, such
as carfare and lunches. and provide
additional money for those things that
are not readily determinable Others
require the children to meet all of
their expenses out of a fixed allow
ance.
THE allowance y week will, Of
course. vary with the circumstances
of the family. There should how
ever, be an upper limit. no matter
how large the income may be Of the
father. Allowances will have to hc
somewhat gauged by the associations
one may have, but, no matter in what
social group one may circulate. the
allowance of an individual should
tend toward the amount per week
which the average member of the
group receives. To be sure. the wisest
plan from the point Of view of edu-

sincerely hope it will. But mean
while look at your lives as men do
theirs. Consider your entire life ard
business in its relation to i BE
brave enough to figure where you
want to be at fifty in the event that
you are still alone in the world and
have no protection but that of your
own achievement. For if love does
come in and cut your business career
down to only a few years, you will
be, nevertheless, glad that while you
did work your attitude was that of
the girl with defnate objective, the
girl strong enough for conquest.
Given this attitude, look about at
the various vocations. There are
some two hundred of them and
thanks to the amazing advance
women have made in the last Is
years practically all of them are open
TO you to-day. Realize this fact.
There is too great tendency on
the part of the girl to seek the white
collar" jobs, that is, stenography,
typin, the other Office positions. AS
a result this field is over-crowded
making it's workers underpaid.
Office work is often called "step-
ping stone" to higher positions.
Without doubt, it is, but stepping on
so crowded stone makes the COM
petition for your eventual success
very fierce ano your chances just that
much smaller.
Avoid, in fact, all "blind alley
jobs. Seek line where your indi-
vidual initiative will count. If you
are capable of assuming response
bility, so much the better. If you
work best under direction from a
superior, choose work that does not
throw you entirely on you own to
make good. If you like people, get
into line that gives you j close per-
sonal contact and this asset will help
you. Selling of insurance, bonds,
and securities is at the present
