Every working girl should pay a definite board at home if the fam fly is in straitened circumstances, but her parents have no right to take her pay envelope away from her and dole out few cents out of her own earnings. Those who make the money have the right to handle it. It gives a girl sense of inde- pendence to have her own pocket book. It teaches her how to spend money wisely. It kills all her am bition and desire to make more if her mother takes what she does earn away from her and makes her

Too Much For Ben

M ISs Belinda's brother met her al
 from home two weeks and Der had missed her sorely and he was de lighted to see her, but he did not even press her hand in greeting. He simply gazed at her for a moment in blank astonishment.
 Good heavens, sis, what have you been doing to yourself?" he asked al last.
 q didn't do it to myself" replied Miss Belinda almost tearfully. Don come any nearer me, Ben Keep yOul distance. You may kiss me, if yoI wish, after-well after I've been re novoated. How are you going to get me home? You oughtn't to touch mt with a ten-foot pole" Miss Belinda laughed bit unsteadily.
 "Ah, I guess you're not so dangerous as all that. But you do look as if you had been made of taffy and you were melting and running away"
 "I wish I could run away. Put me in cab, if you can get any driver to take me, and send me home, Ben"
 Ben glanced down at his own clothes hesitating for an instant. Then he hastily bought half the papers on a news stand and beckoped commandingly to a taxi driver.
 'This is an old suit. In youth you sheltered me, and now I'll stick by you, sis," he said as the chauffeur silently papered the seats of his car.
 "That's what I'm afraid of, Ben that you will stick by me-" objected Miss Be linda as her brother followed her into the cab.
 ''Ill squeeze myself as small as can into this corner. Don't worry about me. You are sufficient cause for anxiety. Now tell me what has hap pened to you that you Ooze molasses from every seam and fold? Why, my dear, its even in your hair and eye brows.

It is her turn to help him and to take upon her strong, young shoulders some of the load he has borne so long. The very least she can do is to chip in her quota toward paying the household ex- penses and thus relieve father of the dread specter of butcher bills and groc- cry bills, which has haunted him ever since the children began to come there and there were hungry young mouths to feed.

money as her brother can, it is just as shameful thing for girl to be dependent as it is for a boy to be. There is no reason why poor old father should continue to support an able-bodied, husky daughter after she is grown, and she is an unfeeling and heartless creature if she even asks it of him.

As I have said many time and oft, I do not believe that a man should be forced to help with the housework. l do not think that, after he comes home from a hard days work, he should be made to wash the dishes and scrub up the kitchen floor and it is a lazy and a trifling wife who makes her husband help out with her work.

lighted, but when I saw the package I must confess I didn't like the looks of it. I think she rightly interpreted my glance, for she began to explain at once that she had wrapped it very care fully and that you, Ben, simply dotted on old-fashioned molasses for griddle cakes. She remembered what quantities you used to eat when you were boy. couldn't refuse her loving thought fitness for you, could I?"
 ."No, of course, you couldn't, Be linda. You're not strong on refusing, my dear. But did the bottle break?'

So here's your tickle girl who finds one man adorable because he is so good, and another fascinating because he is so wicked who is attracted to one man because he is all soul, and to another because he is the village cutup; who thinks she is in love with some man because of the cut of his clothes and the way he dances one minute and is certain some long-haired poet is her soulmate the next; who is soft, and ten der, and sentimental just because it is moonlight night and the air is soft and warm, and then faces about and is as hard as nails just because the weather has changed and she is hungry.

This varying about like a wealth. ercock is no fundamental weakness of character. It is just a girl of brains and sensibilities reaching out blindly in the dark for that which belongs to her in life. And when she finds it she makes the best sort of wife and her fickleness is permanently cured.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-10-18

Answer: Fickleness is merely indecision. A tickle girl is one who has not found herself and does not know what she wants. She is young, and she finds the world full of such a number of desirable things that she cannot decide be- tween them. She is like a child in a toy shop, attracted first by this glittering trinket and then dropping that to clutch at something with even more glittering paint upon it.

whatever I can spare"-but I refuse, and we have dreadful quarrels. Also I am attending night school, studying bookkeeping, and l can't see where I can give anything. Please tell me if I am doing right. l will abide by what you say. A. b. Il.
 Answer: As long as you are
 getting. the very small wage that
 you do at present, A. B. H., l do
 not see how you could contribute
 much to the family purse, because
 you must keep yourself neatly
 dressed. That is part of your equip
 ment and is just as much factor
 in your success as is your ability to
 do good work. Nobody wants a
 slovenly, shabby, down-at-the-heels
 girl in an office or a shop and 1t
 costs money to dress nowadays.
 But when you finish that book
 keeping course you will be able to
 command a better salary, and then
 it is nothing but fair and square
 that you should pay your board at
 home.
 When poor father and mother have worked and denied themselves for the sake of the choldren, and have educated them and had them taught some way to make living, they have done their full duty, and if the children have any sense of decency in them they will no longer be parasites on their parents.
 Many girls are so selfish that they never think of any one but themselves They want all the money they make to put on their backs and for indul- gences. So they spend their salaries buying pretty frocks and silk stockings and going to places of amusement, re- gardless of the fact that father hasn't had new suit in three years and mother has made over her old dress until it is threadbare, because it takes everything that father can earn to pay the rent and feed the family from which he gets no help.
 Now, in these days, when clever girl can earn just as much

Dear Miss Dix-I am in love with a girl who first blows hot and then blows cold. One day I think she loves me, and the next day I doubt it. Will you tell me if a tickle girl ever becomes a good wife? Is there any cure for flick leness? PATIENT FIANCE.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-10-18

Answer: The man, of course. Small gallantry must lover pos sess who even contemplates forcing his bride to arise of cold morning and make the fire by which he shall dress in warmth and comfort! Surely it is the mans part to keep the home fires burning, literally as well as figuratively.
