CHILDREN

MANY CHILDREN and young people know little of the value of money. Is it because they: A. Were not permitted to handle any money? B. Learned to charge things they wanted? C. Were not sent on errands? D. Did not have an allowance? Yom have guessed right the first time. § can be answered by “yes.” But probably not in the same family. without knowing anything about ceived. Others learn to trade quart and to select bananas that are ripe, In some families, boys and girls hardly ever see cash. They 80 to the store either alone or with their mothers and hear the words, “Charge it,” and an address given. Father sends checks and all family business is a matter of white paper. Reversely, many families pay as they 80 and run ho accounts whatever. It is probably in such an atmosphere that the children learn most about the value of money spent and thrifty extension of its powers. And the “chargers” learn least. So there it is. Children have such different experiences in their relation to money, it would be hard to set rules. The habit of the weekly allowance is always good. But even that may be used against a child, rather than for his training, if the quarter, half dollar or dollar. depending on age and needs, is merely an extra dividend to be sweetened up on demand. The allowance should teach primarily, that when so much money is gone, that is the end of it. Limitation, the best for your money, a little ahead, all these things are the true goal of the allowance.

MANY FATHERS WORK their heads off through the years, and mcthers, too, without their children knowing in the least what it is all about. They do not know how dad lies awake and gets up wearily, to shoulder another week with its dreads, responsibilities, and fear of mistakes that can take the bread out of their mouths. He lives his life, so to speak, alone. I think children should have more idéa of the work it takes to provide. They do not comprehend, either, the work or good management of their mothers.

When they learn that little lesson, they cannot help having more respect for the dime and the dollar. Although there is too much secrecy in families about the budget. Many men are sensitive about telling what they earn or limiting their families; or explaining that when the last five dollar bill is spent there won't be any for another week or two. Children do not need to carry the money burdens around with them. but they really should know something about the funds, so they can take a personal interest in helping to save. It is a private matter for all parents to work out. But I believe the reasons I have given are those iargely responsible for extravagance as well as the blind spots about money that so many young people have today.

JANE JORDAN

DEAR JANE JORDAN-T am 27 years old and am in love with ‘8 man who is married. We have been going steady for a year and he loves me, too. This man and his wife aren't living together as man and wife, but he stays and takes care of her and his children. He eats out and sends his wash to the laundry. They hardly even speak to each other. His wife does not care for him and tells him and everyone else that she doesn’t. She knows that we go together for she has seen us. I have asked him if he and his wife would live together and get along if it were not for me. He said no, that they never got along and that he isn't going to give me up. He is 38. the . Wife 35. I have been married but have no childfen. Please advise me and please don't say to give him up. MRS. R. E.

Answer: And if you do not give him up, what will happen? There is a chance that his wife might divorce him in time. In that case a substantial portion of his income would have to go to the “ support of his children. If he is not financially able to keep up two "homes, you would be seriously handicapped in your life together. You would be the one who would have to make the sacrifices and you would resent it. The children have a perfectly just claim on their father but they are not your children and the situation would offer plenty of cause for discord. However, if giving the man up is out as far as you -are concerned, this is the best solution, though it is fairly remote if the wife is a vindictive person, The most frequent result of such a triangle is that the affair simply drags along, bringing happiness to nobody. The angry wife, whose love has turned to hate, takes increasing pleasure in prevent= ing her husband from making a new adjustment in life. The “other ' woman” craves recognition which she never gets, and develops a hopeless, embittered outlook. In time she, too, blames the man for her frustrated emotions. Tired of her reproaches, he leaves her. Love seldom lives long under these unfavorable circumstances. Ahother possible outcome is that the husband and wife may reconcile their differences and start over for the sake of the children. You must face the fact that none of these outcomes offer much in the way of happiness for you. Renunciation hurts, as a surgical operation hurts, but it won't hurt as long as years of living on half a loaf. At 27 you have a better chance to find a frée man able to assume the responsibility for you and to offer you a socially acceptable position. After one failure in marriage you should be more careful to avoid a situation which tends to repeat your mistake. JANE JORDAN.
