Determining the Allowance.

A child should have some sort of an
allowance. He should become familiar
with the use and handling of funds,
even tiny sums.
Some mothers complain that their
children are always asking for pennies
and rlickles. Yet 1t does not occur to
them that IL child is not given a
stated allowance, begging is his only re-
course If he would be honest
An allowance not only encourages
honesty, fosters responsibility, and makes
a child independent in his own small
right; 1t is also an educational oppor-
tunity
Why not consult your son now, and
your daughter too, II you have not
done so already? Talk over spending
with them, and then ask them to budget
their living" expenses. You are in
doubt, you might say, just what allow
ance would be excessive or inadequate.
AS the child budgets he will find that
1t Is necessary to omit some items to in
clude others. Naturally he will select
those most necessary to his happiness.
That simple little lesson of sacrifice and
thrift is worth more than mere words
can tell.
Let the child submit the budget to
you. Make suggestions that seem ad-
visable. II the amount required by the
budget for his allowance Is too steep,
advise your son to that effect, and ask
him to prune his budget down.
In budgeting for sons allowance let
him take into account all of the things
which you ordinarily would give" him
during the next month or so. Convince

Beauty of the Lips.

There is little that can be done to-
ward changing the inherited shape of
the mouth, but much can be done to-
ward improving the texture of the lips
and their expression. l cannot hold
out any hope to readers who wish to
change their wide. thick lips into the
conventional Cupids bow, but l can
help them to make the best of what
fate has bestowed on them.
1t Is not alone the dainty curves of
the lips that make them attractive. but
their smoothness and healthy color
Cracked peeling lips are repulsive, even
though their form may be beautiful.
Sometimes this condition Is due to in
ternal causes, but usually 1t results from
failure to massage the skin with cold
cream or oil every day A thin coating
of the cream should also be rubbed on
before lipstick is applied The cream
used in the lipstick must be rather
hard to keep its shape, and so 1t spreads

/. Your affections are like broad
river: they cannot be narrowed to one
individual. but must spread out to en-
compass many. Your heart is big and
wide-but not very deep.

centered, you are always thinking OF
your own advantage. With superficial

Less than "a hours later the business
man heard knock on his hotel room

by a man who unceremoniously entered
without invitation. He introduced him.

quarters.
The business man was eStonished
that he should be of any interest to
the police department So far as he
knew. he had not violated the GRIM
inal code. On the other hand, he
rather prided himself that he had AL
WAYS been law-abiding citizen. How
ever. he asked the officer to be seated.
although. as a matter of fact, that
gentleman had already made himself

Drawing a letter from his pocket, the
detective asked, Where did you get
this?"

Quest. and was more or less flabber-
gasted at the contents, which had con-
siderable to do with the Thaw trial
In all honesty, he denied having ever

denial, and a subpoena was issued for

ner cream on the lips.
The bad habit Of biting and licking
the lips soon destroys their beauty. The
skin becomes thick and rough and the
lips themselves begin TO swell II the
practice Is kept up.
The lips should be massaged gently
each day. The groove In the middle Of
the upper lip may be deepened by. a
gentle, pinching movement. Place the
first finger in the groove and with the
thumb and second finger press the lip
inward toward the center. Exercise is
also helpful In stimulating the circula-
ton of the lips and thus improving their
color and keeping them full. Open the
Jaws part way and then pull the lips
inward toward each other, but keep the
mouth open. Relax and repeat several
times day. A prolonged yawn is also
a good stretching exercise for the lips.
When putting color on the lips, part
them slightly SO that the inner surface
may be rouged to match the outer parts.
Unless this is done the line where the
color stops will show when the mouth

There is far more romance and

Two men recently met in a local
hotel. They had not seen each other
since the once celebrated Thaw trial.
One was a detective the other man
of business Here again truth proves
70 be stranger than fiction. One eve
ming during the trial the business man
entered q New York restaurant. The
place VAS crowded, the only vacant
seat being one opposite him at hts
table. He hung his coat on nearby
hook and ordered his meal. Shortly
thereafter another mzn walked in and
occupied the vacant chair across the
table Neither paid the slightest at
tention 20 the other When the busi-
ness fnan finished he paid his bill and

hung his coat on a hook before he
sat down TO eat. At a nearby table
several other men were dining and
talking. One OF them was reading let
tiers to his companions. When he con-
ciuded he hastily placed the letters in
the lone mans pocket without looking
at the coat.
Our hero finished his meal and acci-
dentaily took the coat of the stranger
opposite him. leaving his own. When
the man across the table was about
to leave he discovered that his coat
was gone and another was in its place.
Searching through the pockets for
something by which TO identify the
owner. he discovered the letters Of a
more or less intimate nature bearing
on some of the principal actors in the
laws net. He turned these and the
coat over tc the authorities, who traced
the ownership of the coat TO the busi-
ness man, with the result that he. too,
found himself In the talons Of the
police department.
Although the story ended happily for
the man. il must be said that he suf-
fered untold mental misery until he
cleared himself of any knowledge OF
the crime, save that which he read
in the daily prints. Had profess
s:onal novelist devised such a plot 1t
would have been regarded as pure
fiction.

medium between heavily rouged lips and
those with just a patch of red in the
center. Some girls think that the way
to make their mouths seem smaller Is
to paint butterfly or cupid's bow in
the center. leaving the remainder of
their lips the natural shade. This
style of makeup may be used sue
cessfully on the stage when the un
colored portions of the lips are painted
flesh so that they do not show at ALL
from the theater seats, but, of course.
this cannot be done off the stage. The
correct way to apply lipstick to large
lips is to shade the color very gradually
from deep tone in the center to a
light tone at the edge. No distinct line
should be allowed where the natural lip
color ends and the paint begins.

Lamb Oriental Style.

Cut one pound shoulder of lamb in
two-inch pieces, brown in a hot oiled
frying pan and put into casserole. II
string beans are used, wash and cut
them in inch pieces before measuring
two cupfuls, then add to the lamb. If
canned beans are used, add them Is
minutes before serving. Put one-fourth
cupful of chopped onion, two cupfuls
of canned tomatoes, two teaspoonfuls Of
salt. a pinch of pepper and one cupful
Of lamb broth in the casserole with the
lamb. Cook until tender. Remove the
meat and vegetables to the center Of

tablespoonfuls of -four which has been
stirred to paste with cold water. Make
border of steamed rice around the
outside of the platter and pour the
boiling sauce over the meat. Sprinkle
with chopped parsley and serve at once.
A more simple method is to parboil half
cupful Of rice for two or three min
utes In broth or water then turn 1t into
the casserole for about 40 minutes be-
fore serving. The beans could be added
at the same time. Serve from the
