SPENDING MONEY
By Alice JudSOn PeaIe

In family where there is more than one child the problem sooner or later arises of the apportionment of spending money among them.
 There are many parents who never think this problem through, who give their children money i'm pulsively, often much more to one child than to another.
 It is important in the fostering of good feeling between brothers and sisters that they feel no injustice in the matter of the spending money which each receives.
 For this reason as well as for receive allowances, instead of im- pulsive gifts, and for each child to understand as far as he Is able that the amount of money which he re- ceives is not determined by his par ents' love for him, but by his nee1 and by the amount of money which the family as whole has to spend.
 Even a rather young child can readily understand the justice of q fixed allowance. It can be explained to him that his big sister receives more than he because she is older and needs more things; that big brother receives most of all because he is eldest and must pay for his clothes and books as well as for his pleasures.
 If there is real fairness in the

Pile fabrics and curly furs are making things warm for children this winter.
 Their coats may be long or short, but they must have that suggestion of wooliness that is so pleasant when frigid days arrive. Leda cloth. velour de laine, chinchilla cloth, pilot weave woolens, alpaca cloth. and other materials go into these. When fur is used, and that is often, it is done with restraint, in the way or a small, becoming collar, a touch au the wrists, perhaps a few band ipgs down the front or on the pockets.
 The lines of coats for children are very smart this winter. Better even than that, they are young looking. Ultra-styles are avoided and fitted lines are modified. There are many little garments made with cartridge pleatings, novelty scarfs, belts and cuffs, button trimmings, and fabric covered buttons are noticed in abundance.
 It is very smart to have a young ster's hat match her coat. Little fur capes and Russian cut jackets arc nice for those who can have a cou- pie of outfits. These fasten up the side of the coat. usually under line of fur trim. and have little stand-up collars.
 Some Christmas reds, many blues and greens, few browns, beige and whites are favorites.
 Illustrative of the outstanding types of winter coats for cEildreI. are one long and one short
 Natural white chinchilla cloth fashions a hip-length reefer coat Qeft) with raglan sleeves, a jaun- ty collar with notched revers, slit pockets and dark green suede belt. It has it's own little Johnny beret. made of the white wool, in draped style and worn atop the youngsters head. Green tweed pleated skirt and slip-over of green and natural white jersey com pletes her outfit.
 For a long coat, to wear over dresses, a very smart choice is a medium blue pilots weave pile wool. trimmed with tan dyed Persian lamb and topped by blue felt hat with a touch of fur on it. The coat i3 double breasted, fits slightly and has handy pockets. The fur is used sparingly for a small collar and wee bands around the sleeve. With a frock and woolen scarf knotted under the chin, this is very con- servative and chic outfit!

 tarily
 - I never have been prouder of picky than l was when I finished telling him while Philip Veritzen listened, of the 'talkie" role Colin Cameron had offered Mary, of MT. yeritzen's comments upon it, and of my wish for his decision. He had listened with just the right amount 0. deferential interest and he had given me an infinitesimal wink when with one of our private little signals I had told him to be non ccmmital as to his final decision. And his answer was so suave and 80 convincing that l do not believe even my employers keen brain had any suspicion that he was talking against time, and that his decision a5 well as mine was already made. 'T' Of course. old chap" he began, with a comradely smile at Mr. Yer itzen. you cant blame me, as the young woman's uncle, for having as my first reaction, the thought, If it isn't good enough for a potentia, yeritzen star, it isn't good enough for my niece, who is one no longer only because of her refractory heart not her deficiency in talent -- He waited for a second, to let that sink in, and I saw my employers eyebrows contract ever so slightly the first warning of annoyance which he gives.
 Dicky Draws Out VeritZen
 But" Dicky went on smoothly, Ion the other hand one must con- sider the tremendous advantages of most unusual one to be made to so inexperienced a girl. It is not a mat ter one can decide at once. What is your reaction to it, dear?" He asked the question as though the fate of the world hung upon my answer.
 Tt really doesn't matter, does it?" I asked demurely. You are Mary's guardian, and yours must be the final decision. Also, just at pres ent, am as much at sea as you are. It is so hard to decide.'
 T do not know that you need to be reminded" Mir. Veritzen began. hesitatingly, but I am more fa- miliar with theatrical usage than you are, and an offer like that can- not wait, you know"
 How long did Cameron give Mary for decision?" Dicky turned to me.
 e He didn't want to give her any time" I rejoined, but lie finally agreed to wait until day after to- morrow."
 That's time enough to put up q skyscraper," Dicky answered flip panty. Suppose We table the reso- lntion for the rest of the evening snd conside the buffet table instead. I'm nearly starved"
 You deserve never to eat again for pun like that" I told him se- yerely, and then I caught sight of Noel coming into the dining room , and forgot everything else in my ! concern for him. He looked so frail

etched against the dark draperies of the doorway that l wondered how any father, even one so obsessed by fantastic resentment as was Phil ip Veritzen, could fail to be moved by the sight.
 Ought Noel 10 have come down, Dicky?" I asked.
 "Of course not" he answered promptly, but I couldn't do any thing with him. He said he didn't want to play the baby"
 Whats the matter with him?" Philip Veritzen's lips. I was careful not to look directly at him, but furtive glance showed me that his eyes were fixed upon his son with an expression in them compounded of anger and fear, with any other ingredients a question.
 He hasn't fully recovered yet from the attack Jack Leslie made upon him." l said and held my breath for his answer wondering at tue llisllilSI "uiCl Hdu Hlduc hiC ooC the word trade" instead of "insti- gated" thus giving the impression that Jack Leslie himself had at tackled Noel, instead of delegating the job to a lesser ruffian.
 But my vague instinct was justi- fled when MT. Vertzen started vio- lently, his poise vanished utterly.

 He broke off abruptly, then fin ished too hastily and with too much emphasis: thousands of miles away"
 With my mental thermometer rapidly approaching fever heat, I wondered if Dicky's brain processes were travelling the same path as mine. But his answer gave me no clue.
 He is supposed to be, l grant you. We all have rested safely in the belief that he never would dare to come back to this country again. But l, myself, saw him on the street the other day, and the man who hit Noel, told him that the blow was with MT. Leslie's compliments. and that there would be more of them He also staged an interview with Mary. didn't he, dear?"
 I bit my lip to keep back a smile, despite the anger against Mir. Eeritzen which his slip concerning Jack Leslie had engendered. Dicky is not the type of man who "dears' his wife in season and out O. season, and his use of the con- ventionally caressing word. was, knew, meant as a deliberate provo cation to my risibles.
 Yes he did" I answered sternly. He trailed ner to Riverside park where she was strolling and threat eted her with all sorts of penalties for herself and Noel if she didn't consent to pay him thirty-five dol lars a week"

In medicine the word "tonic" is most commonly used to indicate ten- sion, rigidity or spasm. In com- mon language, however, tonic is un- derstood to mean "a something which has the power to inyigorate, to build up or to brace"
 While medicine knows many use full tonics, few if any of these are in the nature of drugs. The efficient medical tonics are rest and exercise, good food, fresh air. sea or sun bathing, and the like.
 Medicinal tonics sometimes are used to help the body overcome ab- normal conditions, but drug tonics often are liable to act like a whip applied to a tired horse The inn mediate result may be accelerated movement, but in the long run, the overtaxed system is liable to break down.
 Renewed vigor secured through so-called tonics, or stimulants, too often mortgage future health. And
 
 to use stimulants, when what the body really needs is rest, change of work, or change of environment.
 Perhaps the most important fac tor in the matter of tonicS is the erroneous idea involved. One takes a tonic in a sort of blind faith that it has magical qualities to recreate vlgor, and to give new strength, to Vltalize, as many an advertisement runs, the worn body.
 There is no place in science, medi cine included, for such magic. There are no bottled or boxed substitutes for good food, exercise, fresh air, or rest.
 In the physiology of the body, neither energy nor matter is creat- cd out of nothingness, or in larger amounts than is supplied by raw ma- terials.

An amusing and yet highly use- full Christmas gift for feminine friends is the doll baby laundry bag. It sufficcs for a real laundry bag for little girls and is an excellent soiled handkerchief and lingerie bag for older ones.
 To make the bag, get a dolls head, attached to shoulders and limp little arms. Take yard of delicate silk or pretty wash ma terial in the color of the re- cipient's bedroom. Cut off enough of the material to make a double ruffle frill around the dolls neck and for narrow strings by which to hang it up.
 Double the material left. round up the bottom, finish a slit down the back to put the clothes ill through and French seam ths bottom and rounding sides. Run an elastic through the top and slide the finished bag up onto the doll baby's neck, under the frill. This allows for rem owing the bag for frequent laundering. You can make the same bag with little sailor boys head and darker material and little boys will like it very much indeed.

Even the dishes had disappeared Poor Black Pussy. She sat down by the kitchen door and began to cry. Meow" said she. Meow! Meow!"
 After a while, Mother Brown came to the door and opened it. She thought that Black Pussy was mere- ly crying to come in. But Black Pussy began rubbing against her and arching her back and crying, just as she does when she is hungry. On Mother Browns face was a pug zled look.
 What under the sun is the mat ter with you, Black Pussy?" she demanded. "I gave you enough for two cats and here you are teasing for more. If I didn't know better, l should think you had a family to feed. Well, you've had enough for one night and I'm not going to give you any more. no matter how much you tease"
 "Meow!" said Black Pussy, which was her way of saying Please" Meow! Meow."
 But all her teasing did her no good.

 You'll find it seldom pays to tease. Black Pussy. . It was quite dark in the back shed, as Mother Brown opened the door from the kitchen and came out with saucer of milk and a plate of food for Black Pussy. Black Pussy followed her as far as the doorway. There she stopped. Mother Brown put the two dishes on the floor and then turned to discover that Black :, Pussy had not followed her out into the shed.
 < T thought you were hungry said Mother Brown. You've given me no peace with your teasing for something to eat. Now come out here and get it. I've given you. enough for two cats"
 Meow" said Black Pussy and, arching her back, she rubbed against the doorpost. But she did not come out into the shed. Mother Brown lost patience. She gave Black Pussy a push out into the shed and shut the door. For a moment Black Pussy stood listening. There was no sound. She reached forward for a mouthful of that good supper and, as she did so, Jimmy Skunk sudden ly stepped up. Black Pussy gave one look, turned and shot out through the little round doorway that led out of doors. Jimmy calmly walked over and began eating.
 It was a good supper. It was a very good supper and there was plenty of it. Jimmy didn't hurry. He took his time. He ate and ate until there was nothing left. He even lick ed the plate clean. Then he turned to the saucer of milk and drank and drank until there was none left. He licked out the saucer. He smacked his lips, He looked up at the door to the kitchen. I'm much obliged for my supper said he, as if Mother Brown could hear him. Then, in stead of trying Black Pussys bed again, he went out through the lit- tie round doorway and ambled back home. Slch a big meal made him feel sleepy.
 r Hardly was Jimmy Skunk out of sight when Mother Brown opened the kitchen door into the shed. My land!' she exclaimed. That cat really was hungry. She has licked the plate and saucer clean. Well, l guess she won't be hungry for some time after this"
 Mother Brown picked up the emp ty plates. took them hack into the kitchen and shut the door. Mean while, outside, Black Pussy was wandering about, hungry and dis consolate.

apportioning of allowances, brothers and sisters readily accept reason- able differences in amount but these must be no special favors granted, no giving above the amount decided upon.
 Unless the money question is wisely handled it may readily be- come the focal point of fraternal jealousies and discords.
 Many later arrangements be- tween brothers and sisters date back to feelings of ranking injus- tice over the way money and favors were distributed at home.
