OUR CHILDREN By Angelo Patri

Miss Mittie was a lovely teacher.
The kindergarten children all agreed
on that. They met her with out
stretched arms and happy chirps and
skips. They all wanted Miss Mittie
to like them, so they were as good
rs they could be. Most of the time
There are times when a child can't
be 50 very good as all that. This
morning Buster punched Harry. and
Harry, who wasn't skillful with his
fists, gave Buster a kick in the shin.
But Miss Mittie made them stop and
stood them on the line.
When the circle was formed and the
FIRST songs we're sung Miss Mittie told
them q little story about two boys
who were in the schoolyard. One boy
wouldn't give 1t back. When the
owner tried to snatch it the other
boy threw the cap high up on the
closet. Then the boy who lost his
cap was very angry and punched the
naughty boy. What would you do II
that happened 10 you and your hat
was up On the top of the closet?

Proper Ways to Stretch Dollar
By LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

the woman is said to know "how to
buy to advantage"
The woman who is said to be "on
easy street" decides what she needs for
her wardrobe, and buys 1t, always try
ing to get 1t at a reasonable price. To
balance any extravaganza she Is the
essence of thrift in small matters. Pins
and hairpins are carefully looked out
for, garments are Sponged and cleaned
by herself, whenever this can be done
Gloves and handkerchiefs and all ac-
cessorieS are not only exquisite, but
exQuiSitclv kept. She is as careful in
the upkeep of her things as she Is In
buying. Therefore her wardrobe lasts a
long time. 1t must be remembered that
one reason for this is that she gets the
best quality goods and they are the
most durable.
In the matter Of entertaining she fol-
lows the same course. Instead Of spend
ing for trifleS, she entertains OCCASION
ally and in the most approved way. 1t
may be small tea or dinner at the
most exclusive hotel. 1t costs some
thing, but not more than numerous
boxes of candy, ices and shopping
luncheons. that run away with the pen
nies until they amount to dollars.
The second way of stretching the
dollars" is to buy when articles are at
their lowest. This is possible by watch
ing sales. by keeping the eyes alert
when purchasing one thing. so that
they glimpse others needed also. and
by getting the other articles immedi-
ately when they are cheap. The woman
must also know what will be needed
later on as well as what must be had
for present wear Many woman is
well dressed just because she buys thus
ahead Of her needs as we'll as for i'm
mediate use.
The woman who buys thus Is apt to
consider the articles as cheap" and to
treat them accordingly. She gets more
than her moneys worth at first. The
reason why she sometimes saves no less
than the first woman is because she
does not treat the articles with the
same respect. Also in minor matters,
such as looking out for trifles, she is
almost eXtravagant. Her money goes
in ''driblets." No day shows much ex-
penditure. but the sum Of the days
equals one large amount.
Money is continuously going out. and
for useful articles. There Is nothing to
indicate she is extravagant. Nor is she,
results for her money that the first
woman does. She is apt to entertain
often, but in genuinely thrifty way
No one would ever accuse her Of ex-
travagance!
Occasionally a person uniteS both
methods. That is. she buys what she
wants at the lowest sum: she cares for
everything as If 1t cost much. She en-
tertains seldom, but well. This means
getting the most for ones expenditures
by means open to all women.

Wouldn't you suppose that any one
