Slick Money Tricks

BY ANGELO PATRI.

TUBBY was hoping to go to the
fair. and for that excursion he
needed some money. Not being care
ful saver-in fact, he was a lavish
spender-he was fiat broke. He had
spent his allowance and was IN debt
to brother Ben for 3 cents. Things
looked dark and he pondered what
to do. An idea came to him and he
proceeded to put it into action.
"Hullo Uncle Dick. I just thought
I'd come over to see you. hadn't
seen you in so long I missed you a
lot"
That's very nice of you, Tubby.
Glad you missed me"
Il sure did, Uncle" The tone was
wistfullv affectionate. Nobody ever
thinks about me the way you do. No
body gives me a quarter to help me 60
to the circus Only you"
We'll. we'll Here you are. Hope
you have good time spending it."
Thank you. so much. uncle.
You're the only, only one who thinks
about me. My only good fritnd +"
Uncle was touched and told auntie
about it later. Poor little tyke," he
said. Wonder some of them wouldn't
think about him once in while. Kids
have to be noticed"
"M-m-m-m," said auntie.
If uncle had heard Tubby tell the
same story, with the same business
each time, and the same result, he
might have had another thought. But
he didn't hear him tell granny that
she was his one and only relation
who ever loved him enough to re-
member his needs for the circus, re-
peat the version with variations to
Aunt Eliza and Uncle Ed, so he kept
on feeling pleased and superior for
quite wilhelm fact. until auntie
told him what happened
The evening before the day Of the
circus Tubby got out of bed and
gloated over his funds. He wakened
Ben, Who surprised him by appearing
suddenly and demanding share Of
the money. at least payment Of
amounts long due and becoming en-
barrassingly curious as to the source
Of this wealth.
None Of your business" said
Tubby. And won't give you q
cent neither. just for asking"
The voices rose higher than their
owners intended. and mother ap-
peared, asking questions and being
unhappy about the answers. She
called pop on the telephone and she
told her story and chuckled about It..
Right smart of him, wasn't it, the
little codger," said she.
Smart my eye," said father. "Where
is my slipper"
Next day Tubby was kept busy re-
turning the price of his affection to
his fond relatives and Neighbor Pop.
He was sad and pensive and almost
persuaded them into being sorry for
him all over again.
Darn it, he looks so miserable.
Why couldn't they let him have the
few cents?" stormed uncle.
Cant you see that Tubby was being
just too smart? Being slick? Want
him to grow up like that, being
smarter than the other fellow and
cashing in on it? He was cheating
you into thinking he needed help
when he ought to have been spanked
for needing it. Don't be silly"
II just can't see It," moaned uncle.
But the rest of the family could, and
did.

have your love turned to hate and the

ken up, rather than to give you the
dollar or so a week to crafty your
morbid desire for decorating the
child's tomb.
IT SEEMS incredible that in such a
situation as yours you have not
intelligence enough to realize that
your only comfort in your bereave-
ment must be in your husbands love;
that your only chance for happiness
lies in him, and that it is far more
important for you to keep things pleas
ant between you and him than it is for
you to put flowers on the grave OF a
baby who cannot know or care whether
1t Is done or not. 1t Is equally .incred-
ible that your husband has not in
tellgence enough to say to himself
Poor soul. she is half mad with grief
Let her have the flowers If they are
any solace to her" And 50 let the
matter end by drawing you closer to-
gether instead OF separating you.
OF course. in reality so far as there
is any logic in the situation. your hus-
band is in the right. 1t is bad men
tally and physically for you to make
a fetish of your child's grave and
spend your time worshiping 1t and
adorning it. 1t only keeps your sor-
row alive. When those We love die. we
cannot bring them back. and the wise
and brave thing is Just to accept our
loss and forget it as much as it is
possible.
Your husband is right in thinking
that the money is better spent on this
live little boy who needs so much more
than on dead baby who needs moth
ing. The real remedy for your grief
is in taking your little stepchild into
your heart and lavishing on him all

SO efficient it hardly seems worth while
to destroy the appearance of room by
accenting with shining paint all the

paint them to blend in completely with
your wall color. Your painter can do
this easily, and the more completely
you lose sight OF the radiators the
more attractive will your room be.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
In our new house we have a
large attic and also a very nice recrea-
ton room which has lovely space for
a cupboard under the steps. What
would you advise about cedar closet
for storing winter furs and blankets?
1 understand heat draws moths. Do
you answer more than one question in
a letter? Thank you. c. M. H.
Answer-The secret OF a successful
mothproof closet is to be sure there are
no moths In the clothes when they are
put away and that it is completely
sealed so that none may enter. Heat
makes a comfortable environment in
which moths thrive, but if they are
not present in the clothes and cannot
get in, the heat does not matter. Heat
is not good for furs You may build
thoroughly mothproof cabinet with
special door frame that will not allow
even dust to penetrate. Building sup
ply houses and larger hardware shops
Will tell you about these. 1t would
seem to me you would need the closet
space in the recreation room for games
and card tables and such. We are glad
to answer any number of questions as
long as the space lasts.

An Impersonal Role
Must Be Assumed
To Avoid Gossip.
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: A man I have
known casually for many years,
but who was never a personal friend
has asked me to keep house for him
and take care Of his two young chill
dren. am 4a and was left a widow
a few years ago and with very little
insurance even for a rainy day. So
you see have nothing to live on. I'M
less stay with my daughter-which
I don't like to do-or 60 out and earn
my board and keep. At my age it is
not easy to know what to turn to.
Consequently I'd like to take care of
this mans house but my daughter
thinks that might be subjecting N.Y.
self to a good deal of criticism In
fact. she says I must stay by myself
all the time unless am with the chill
dren alone. Moreover, she says it
would be wrong even to sit on the
porch when he is there, and as for
accepting an invitation to take drive
would be sure to set the tongues
wagging. Is she not overpessimistic?
AnsWer-I am sorry to have to say
that although there is no reason why
you may not accept this position, you
will have to literally bend over back
ward in assuming the impersonal role
of professional housekeeper in order
to keep tongues from wagging 1t
seems to me that it is also necessary
that he pay you a salary. This can
be as small as you are willing to ac-
cept, but 1t Is essential that your posi-
ton be that Of an employe and not
q friend who has gone to live with
him. I don't think you should go out
with him in his car unless the chill
dren are going with him and there
is a reason why you are needed to
look after them. In other words, your
duty is to attend to the running of
his house and the care of his chill
dren, and you can, of course, feel free
TO treat the children As your heart
dictates. but in your attitude toward
your employer you must avoid any,
thing that the gossips could consider
too friendly.
nEAR MRS. POST: I am a nursery
governess and have two charges,
9 and IL years old. The family Is
living in a large resort hotel for the
summer and, Of course, the children
and sit by ourselves at a table, and
we usually eat earlier than the family.
II any one comes to our table and
fingers to say something to the chill
dren or to me ID should teach them
to get up and curtsy to friends OF
mine, as they are expected to do for
friends of their mother? CD Also. may
smoke after my meals? I do not
wear a uniform.
Answer-O Yes. They should be
taught to stand for all older people,
but if your friends stand overlong you
might then tell the children that they
may sit down. (2) Positively no
never when you are on duty with the
children. Whether you may smoke
when you are of duty is also ques-
tionable, since even then it would not
look we'll for one who is professionally
in charge of young children. This
may sound absurdly mid-Victorian
but If you really care about best taste

limited and 1 want something that
Is easy to live with. What type
would you suggest? 1 would like TO

not know whether that would be

Answer-The English lounge tvpe
would be bit heavy if you scale the
rest OF your maple furniture with
Governor Winthrop desk. But I am
sure that you will find the same CON-
fort and good lines in something a
little lighter. There are several new
early American designs in the bed

Tor the extra bed-which are most
comfortable. Several have little
maple showing in straight feet and
arms-and are covered in simple,
practical materials which stand wear.
I think if you ask in the shops to be
shown something simple enough in
line and not too heavy to 60 with
early American maple. YOU will find
what you want.
