Children's Spending.

The boy and girl who begin early to
buy things for themselves learn early to
be economical and independent.
Too many parents start the wrong
way around. They selhshly "give" the
children little money, and then re-
quire them to keep it put away. Such
policy is neither generous on the part
of the parents nor does it help the
children to form good habits of thrift.
Children, like adults, should have the
opportunity to learn that money NAV
be used either now or in the future.
but only once. Unless they have the
privilege of planning some expenditures
IN the present, they will not naturally
develop much enthusiasm for that ex-
perience at some later date. In other
words, child can best learn to save
money for future spending if one of his
past experiences helps him to picture
the joys Of spending
1t is useless to talk to children about
the Ideal" of saving. In the first place,
saving is not ideal 1t is lust a pre-
caution against future needs.
AS long as a child thinks of saving
as mothers and fathers plan, and that
every nickel which goes for candy is
opposed by all the rest of the family
but himself, instead Of developing the
good habit of saving, he develops the
bad habits of deceitfulness and whining.
Every child should have an allowance,
or way to earn money, and this allow
ance should cover all the items of his
own expenses which his age and de-
velopment will warrant. Parents who
have tried it do not find this wasteful
practice. but a real saving of money
for the family. OF course, there will be
some mistakes-eVen groWn-ups make
them. If at IL, for instance, the boys
allowance covers all items of reading
matter, entertainment, sweets and
clothing, he may take it all out on pic
tur shows the first month after school,
but the pinch" that comes later will
be its own punishment. In fact, a
few financial 'panics" Of their own
making will do more to teach children
right ways Of spending than many
seedlings.
More rope for the children with re-
gard 70 money matters, but good sane
council when they need it, would i'm
prove things in the great majority OF
homes
Helping them plan a budget, and the
keeping of accounts is the most effec-
tive method of teaching children to
spend-and save. But account keeping.
like many other virtues, will not be
great success with boys and girls unless
they know that parents keep them, too
For If children have reason to think
that putting their pennies down in a
book is Just form Of dicipline invented
for little folks. it soon becomes irksome
and loses most of its value.

SHOOT.
When all this is done and the scenario
or script Is entirely finished, then the
script girl follows the director on to the
various scenes as they are photographed.
Her desk is movable. 1t is little table
with typewriter, and these are moved
about from spot to spot, sometimes 20
or 80 times in the course of a day.
When a new scene is about to be pho
tcgraphed and the properties are all ar
ranged, suddenly there appear on the
scene actors, the director, a confusing
looking group of lights, the mechanism
for the sound, four or five mechanics,
and the invaria bic little table with the
typewriter on l. -ollowed by girl with
her notebook. IL -ceneS of the widest
confusion she sits calmly down at the
little table, her pencil poised over her
book, and takes down every little thing
that is done and said relating to the
picture When the bell rings, showing
that the scene is over, her table and
typewriter are picked up and moved to
the scene of new activity
It's very strange sometimes when pic
lures are taken on the street amid
crowds and confusion to see this girl
calmly seated with her little notebook,
taking dietation as calmly as if she
were in a quiet Office.
The job doesn't pay much-no more
than any ordinary stenographers Job
and it's very difficult. Considerable
knowledge and swift shorthand are re-

Flowerlike Dress Ornaments
BY MARY MARSHALL.

small vestee of the lace showing at the
v neckline. The small flowers which
are posed at the right shoulder are also
made of valenciennes lace and are
really not at all difficult.
To make a flower you will need
about one-fourth yard Of lace. This
much should be cut off to start with.
At one end pick out and draw thread
at the edge of the lace and draw the
lace up so that it is slightly gathered.
Attach the other end of the lace to the
material where you want the center of
the flower to be placed and turn the
lace round in a spiral arrangement as
shown in the detail sketch Sew the
lace in position in this way until you
have completed the flower and then
tuck the end of the lace under the
last outer edge of the flower and sew
down inconspicuously. Finish the CEN
ter with ten or eleven French knots
taken with yellow embroidery cotton.
The green stem arrangement that is
used with the flowers is made by
winding thin milliner's wire with mar
row green baby ribbon.
