NANCY PAGE Bills Do Not Bother
 Good Budgeteers By Florence La Ganke.

New Years day brings new resolu- tions, new resolves and unfortunate ly new crop of bills. Nancy groaned when she looked at the mornings mail How, oh how, did the Page family spend so much money, and for what?
 She had had a course in household budgeting at college. Now was the time to get out her note books. She leafed the pages. "A budget is noth- ing but a system of planned spend- irg." "A budget planned for one family never fits another family ex- actly, but it does act as pattern from which to cut the financial cloth" "Before planning this years budget it is necessary to know some thing about last years expenditures"
 That was easy, for the Pages had kept an account book in which they had listed their expenditures. They had used checks to pay for nearly everything. Of course, the check did not show what items had been pur- chased at 8 department store. but 1t gave them general idea of where their money had gone.

YOUR CHILDREN

"The first thing they ask me is if have any children. So I said to the last applicant, I'm sorry, but we have two. It's too bad but 1t can't be helped now She didn't get the sarcasm. All she said was, Well, I'll have to look some place else. can't work where there are children
 Mrs. Brown sighed as she thought wearily over the list of maids who had come. seen and departed. If they didn't leave without so much as taking off their hats as this girl did, they had retreated hastily at the end of week or two.
 She was perpetually chagrined over the fact that her neighbor across the street who had no chil dren at all, had had Hilda, a yer itable gem, for five years. Why couldn't she have found Hilda first? Did anybody on earth have such bad luck as she had? And always the children were the excuse. What did they expect. People to kill off their youngsters before they could get any help?
 All Hildas Aren't Alike
 Had Mrs. Brown walked around the corner or up the street or into dozens of homes in her city she would have seen many Hildas who ildu Stdycu III IlOIICS bhCiC were large families of children.
 The truth was that her own par ticular family had reputation ahead of them. Where certain maids did not know of the Brown children particularly they had had their own unpleasant experiences in other homes. It wasn't the work the ap- plicants minded but the unpleasant experiences. They had stood imper 4; Jf.. ho,1 a decent word or an ounce of con- sideration. One of the most impor- tant things in the training of chil dren is their behavior toward those who come to assist in the work.
 In the first place they should be taught to be as orderly about them selves, their rooms, colthes and be- lingings as they would be if there were no extra help in the house whatever.
 More so in fact for mothers are lik ely to neglect this phase of train- ing if they themselves do all the work.
 Teach Them Courtesy
 The next matter that should be adjusted is their behavior toward the "help." It is as necessary to be polite and kind to the maid as to the visitor. Anyone under ones rOOI IS enJllleu LO pOHleHeSS duu Coh- sideration. And children must be taught to speak properly to those who are assisting in keeping the home pleasant.
 If children are left in her care at times there must be an understand ing with them as well as with her. She Is mother pro tenn now and must be vested with certain amount of authority which they must obey.

Lydia to pack them herself, and l feel positive that Lydia did so, for she must have felt safe when she protested to me that Sprague was not Nita's lover. I also feel sure that Sprague arrived at least half an hour before he said he did, by some back path across the meadow; that he came up to these rooms that he considered his, found his things packed, but went about shaving. and changing his shirt and collar regardless. I also feel sure that Lydia followed him upstairs that Nita had meant what she said And it Is quite likely that she was not through picking up after him when he descended by the back stairs and surprised Janet Ray mond on the front porch. That &C., counts, Of course. for Lydia's not hearing ,he kitchen bell the first time Mrs Dunlap rang"
 "Umm," Strawn grunted. What about the proofs you're holding back?"
 Come along, chief - you, too, Carraway," Dundee answered, and led the way into the bathroom. T felt sure these rooms would yield a very definite clue, even though Sprague, when he sneaked back to- night to get his tell-tale bag, ap- parently made every effort to wipe bis fingcrprints off the furniture and bathroom fixtures. Now, Carraway, if you'll step upon this little stool and look along the top of this medicine cabinet, youll find what I found-and which l didn't touch"
 The fingerprint expert did as he was told. When he stepped down te was holding, between the very tips of his fingers, safety razor blade.
 No dust on it, you see," Dundee pointed out. Nov if you don't find Dexter Sprague's fingerprints on It, my whole theory topples
 How am l going to know whose f'ngerprints they are till we get hold of Sprague?" Carraway asked reasona bly.
 We don't need him-for that pur- pose, at least" Dundee assured him. "Downstairs in the living room, on a little table in the southeast cor ner of the room, you'll find little red glass ash tray which no one but Dexter Sprague used all eve ming. It was clean and empty when l saw him use 1t first. l think you'll find on it all the prints you Deed.'
 50 you thing Sprague killed her because she was through with him?' Strawn asked. Dundee shook his head. Since I don't like Dexter Sprague a little bit, chief, I'd like to think 50, but"

For instance, they discovered that a neighborhood drug store had re- ceived about two hundred dollars. and very few drugs had been pur- chased, at that candy, smokes, toilet accessories were the large items.
 As Nancy was pondering the whole subject her eye lighted on the club calendar. That very afternoon there was to be q lecture on Budgeting. Was she there? She was.
 The speaker gave the same advice as Nancy's notebooks, but added some pertinent helps. For instance, d beginner in budgeting should not try to keep too itemized an account, She should remember that hit and miss spending is the wasteful kind because there is so little to show for the money at the end of the month. And she stressed the fun of keeping budget when one beat it-beat the figures which had been set as the amount necessary for food, or shell ter, clothing. savings, operating ex- penses or higher life.

%STO[2Y or SUE
BY IMAGERY HALE

At Jacks words that the firm of Thornton, Curtis and Thornton was going to prosecute MT Merryman as attorneys for the bank and state, Sue lay very still on the drab couch Tn the rest room of the old jail.
 "Of coure. I forgot that your firm is the banks attorney. Then l guess

 But Sue. you will have. I'm going over there now and talk Dad into seeing how crooked the whole deal is. He has to see it. This thing isn't going to come to court. But you might not want to be around for a few days until it's settled. You see, Sue, it isn't your father that the bank wants. It's the thief, whoever he is."
 "Or she is," Sue put in quietly.
 "Perhaps," Jack said. "It's a hunch and I'm going to follow 1t. Still, $15,000 would be pretty sum of money for anyone to get away with unless there was reason. It looks as though some man on the inside Is the promoter of the scheme. Not your father! Don't look so ago. nized, Sue. I'd believe you took it as soon as that he did. And get this, Sue. I'm sticking tight"
 "Thanks, Jack" She sat up and smiled faintly. Where did they take .... my father?"
 Hes next door in the jail waiting for bail. Harry will put it up.'
 Sue felt her face flushing. I don't want him to. It's terrible to have to rely on others to do the things for you that you can't do yourself. I never wanted to be rich before. But when your are poor you Ire SO helpless. May I see my fath- er?"
 "Of course" And all the way over, and through the interview, Jack was so devoted and kind and assuring that Sue wanted to cry because there was love in the world even if there was cruelty and unkindness.
 The court was in session. The trial would come up soon. It would be by jury. All of these things Sue learned in the next few days as she roamed around in a daZe. People ate three meals every day, and went to bed at night, and answered the telephone, and told agents that they didn't want carpet sweepers and weekly maga- zines even when the whole order oi their lives had been upset. 
 Corrinne came and went, tenn pestuous whirlwind, singing hei songs against the whole of the pre- vailing social order. Her picture ap' , peared on the first page Of the towns largest newspaper and there was an insert of Harry and one ol MT Merryman. Sue was grateful tha' she had been eliminated.
 But the next day she appeared and the story told of the peculiar re- | lationship that she had with the firm of lawyers which were now defend- ing the states rights. as persona attorneys for the bank.
 Sue passed Sybil on the street an noted the deep purple of the girl'' coat with it's touches of gray squire fur and the daring perk or tht matching hat. Sybil spoke coldly bu Sue didn't answer. Her blue eye' were too clouded with suspicion fol her to trust even a casual saluta | ton.

was surprised. Then - because the girl is undoubtedly in love with Sprague and was mortally afraid he had killed Nita Selim. she tried frantically to throw suspicion on Lydia Carr, by telling how Lydia had failed to answer Mrs Dunlaps first ring Good Lord! Wait a minute! I want to think" he in terrupted himself to exclaim.
 After a full minute. while he had stood very still, with his fin gers pressed against his closed eyes, Dundee began slowly:
 "I believe that's it Listen. boys!" He turned to the two plain clothesmen. urgent pleading in his voice. Would you both take your oath that there was no bag-say small Gladstone overnight bag anywhere in these rooms when you searched them this evening""
 The two detectives glanced at each other, their faces reddening. It was Harmon, the older of the pair, who swallowed hard before answering:
 wed been told to look for a man hiding, and for gun" Then he squared his shoulders as if to re-  sir! There was little black grip or the closet shelf. l went through it myself, but there wasn't no gun in it. Just pair of pajamas and Q couple of shirts, one of 'em dirty, some socks and collars and a shaw ing kit
 Dundee drew a deep breath. and clapped the red-faced detective on the back in high good humor.
 "There simply had to be bag somewhnre!" he laughed. This IS the way of it, Strawn. Nita and Spcague rowed last nlght. Sprague tried to make it up. but Nita must have been through with him. Probably told him last night 10 clear his things out and not come back. She thought he had done so; probably he did leave be- fore she got up. At any rate, she was so sure he was gone and his things with him that she and Lydia went to town this morning and left Ralph Hammond here to go through the place as freely as he liked, making his estimates on the job of finishing up the other half of this floor. And Ralph-But let that wait fer the moment"
 .'Got any real proof that it was Sprague who stayed here and not the Hammond boy?" Strawn inter rupted shrewdly.
 'I'm coming to the proof" Dun dee assured him, ''or rather, the rest of the proof that l haven't al- ready given you. You're damned hard to convince, chief! But let me go on with my theory, which l think covers the facts. At luncheon. when Nita received that note from Sprague. I imagine she got a hunch that he hadn't taken her seriously, that he had not re- moved his belongings. You re- member Penny Grain said Nita had Lydia follow her into her bedroom, as soon as Nita got home from the luncheon?
 | Well, it's my hunch that Nlta asked Lydia if Sprague's things were gone when she cleaned theae rooms this morning, and that Lydia J said no. Nita then probably told
