The ios* my son.” his father replied, “is thA I®* stead of spending the allowance for eats, the wife blows It tn for Huhs, clothes, candy and conventions.” “No. son.” said the mother, “the fact is that the allowance is not large enough to provide a hotel menu, though the men seem to think It Is. And that |s no Joke, either.” —Indianapolis News.
