By HELEN KENDALL


 Of all the ways in which the hu- morists like to poke fun at women, none is more popular than the sub ject of the feminine management of money. We all remember the story of the woman who insisted that she must have plenty of money in the bank because she had ever so many checks left in her check book! And there is the perennial joke about the woman who was requested to indorse a check which she presented at bank window. and who wrote on the back of 1t, after puzzled moment: T heartily indorse this check"
 Well, for the most part we do not desrve it, but in a great many cases, I'm afraid we do. Many women have as great a shrinking from the bank-cage as they have from the ballotbox. It is the dread of ex- hibiting their ignorance. And yet how many women, whose husbands hand them roll of bills at the end of the week or the first of the month, find, when they are left widowed, with a considerable amount of insurance to bank or invest, that they are absolutely at sea as to the ordinary procedures of handling money.
 
 she has to work with. I do believe that every woman should try to kef~ a checking account at some bank. |, may mean that she twill have to keep minimum amount on deposit all the time, although some small local banks do not insist on this; but it will mean that she avoids keeping sums of money lying about the house or tucked in her stocking, and that she will know the convenience of paying her monthly bills by check instead of cash. Best of all it will teach her to understand banking methods, accustom her to keeping her stubs checked up and her balance figured. teach her how to compute interest and give her experience in the wise management of her income, however small. She will not be like the woman in still another of the jokes, who deposited fifty dollars in a bank and then, fearing for it's safety, went to the window and asked to see it, to be sure it was still there.
 Learn how to take care of modest sums inte1ligently. and when a larger amount is placed in your hands, some day. you will know how to go con fidcntly about it to take care of it. Metropolitan Newspaper Service,

GOOD MANNERS
RESTAURANT ETIQUETTE

There are many questions which puzzles the young woman who dimes with a man in d restaurant for the first time. Little matters which she never really gave thought to before will arise, and because she is not quite certain about these her eve ming is apt to be spoiled.
 Probably one of the first questions which arises in the young woman's mind is Who should lead the way to the table-the girl or the man ?''
 You will notice that the man is usually the one who leads, and this is probably because he has special table and waiter. X man who dimes downtown or in any part of town usually has a favorite table and special waiter who knows what to serve him. For a girl to lead blind ly on and take some other table is decidedly III bred.
 Then the next question is: When should the napkin be placed on the lap-when the soup is served or as soon as one is seated?"
 The napkin may be unfolded and placed on the lap the moment one sits down or when the waiter first fills Your water glass. The woman is always the first to take the lead here
 Then comes the alarming question Of: Which fork or spoon shall I use first?"
 Here one may follow very safe rule if one dimes at first-class restaurant. Depend upon it that the waiter knows how to set the table correctly and that he has placed each fork, spoon and butter knife in ex- actly the line of much of the dinner. Therefore. if you begin with the right fork you are very apt to keep right 1T you just work your way up
 
 AS the young woman is about to leave the restaurant another thought flashes her mind: Should the chair be pushed back under the table or left as it is when she arises?"
 Do not try to rearrange the table as you would at home or In friends nome. Simply leave the table and let the walters do their work.
 After all, restaurant etiquette is a matter of common sense If you stoD to think things out and do not be come Mustered your difficulties will be feu '-

And Raggedy Ann started giggling in soft cottony voice and opened her hands. The Too ack quee had given Raggedy Ann the button, but when she opened her hands. instead of having the little brass suspender button, she held a lovely piece of chocolate candy wrapped in shiny tin foil. Then the Too ack quee went around again and again, and each time he asked, Who has the button?' Raggedy Ann or Raggedy Andy or Betsy Bonnet String found a lovely piece of chocolate candy wrapped in shiny tin foil instead of the brass suspender button. When all had received as much chocolate candy as they could eat, the Too aek quee put the little brass sus- bender button back in the iron box and locked the box up in the cup board.
