J LEARNING TO SPEND ? At first, with her 20 a week. Edith Ferrol was as happy aa a child with an interesting new toy. To a woman who hat perhaps earned a comfortable salary and grown accustomed to her own purse and ber own uncriticlied

spendings, the allowance John Ferrol made his wife would not seem great. Nor did it seem even adequate to a woman like Lillian Blake. Lit was the type of American wife that makes Europeans gasp and say, "It is women, not men, who run that country. American husbands are slaves!" Lll was just the opposite of Edith Ferrol. Lll Blake controlled her husband's earnings, absorbing the major part herself, while he lived on the crumbs. For nine years Edith Ferrol had "got along some how" on financial scraps, not even knowing how much her husband actually earned or bow much he saved. Now she felt rich! Also, she felt secure. She had become a little frightrned at John's recent profits in Wall Street. Like most people, she feared whatever she could not understand. The $20 allowance, however, came out cf John's salary it was probably about half of it, Edith figured and was not contingent on the rise of Bonanza Copper. A dozen times a day she remembered with ever fresh relief and happiness that she should not have to ask John any more for money. She liked to think of her allowance as a "salary" a tangible, if inadequate, return for her services, as John had for his. Woman's least-rewarded labor, the managementof home, was no longer a mere thankless "job." Woman's most humiliating task, that of asking a mjin for money, was hers no more. But with her new satisfaction came Hhe responsibility of learning to spend. ?she had no more "charge accounts," but paid cash to grocer and butcher. This brought her to a closer realization of the buying power of money than ever before. Formerly when certain articles of food were "terribly high," she had soothed her worry by having them charged, and trusted to luck and John's mood when the bills came in. Now she had to do all the paying and prices terrified her. Carefully Edith apportioned her $20; $10 for the table and $10 for clothes for herself and the children. But with butter at 44 cents a pound and common vegetables like onions relling by weight, instead of bulk, the $10 allotment soon fell short.

The high cost aint my fault, lady." the grocer assured her when she protested at his charge of 16 cents a quart for potatoes. "It's the war does it. You can buy American spuds in London cheaper today than you can buy 'em here. Same with canned goods. It ain't us retailers fault. The

market's short; we cani. get iu stuff. It's all going abroad." The butcher echoed the story when Edith, outraged at paying 35 cents a pound for steak which the man refused to trim of its bone and fat, declined to buy. She began to study cookbooks and domestic science literature. She found and pored over many articles in the magazines and newspapers on how to buy and prepare food economically. She learned that rice Is cheaper than potatoes and more nutritious; that corn and various corn preparations like 6amp and hominy are cookable in ways she had never thought of; that spaghetti Is largely a substitute for bread, and that milk and cheese are as nourishing as meat. In her anxiety to stretch her money to its utmost. Edith tried meatless dinners once or twice a week. But this raised a vigorous kick from John. She hastily transferred some of the $10 "clothes money" into her housekeeping account and "made it up to John" next night on a costly steak For some time things went smoothly, owing to her recent purchase of clothing and household needs. Gradually Edith chopped of! the "clothes allowance" to $8 a week and inched up the, food allowance to $12. "By the time eny of us needs new clothes," she told herself, "food prices will be back again to normal." Just as if things ever came down again, once they went up! Besides, John still appeared to be on the right side of Bonanza Copper and made her extra little presents of fives and tens from time to time. Occasionally he sent home what he called "bargains in eats" staples he noticed advertised at the big markets downtown or bought through some fr'end who "could get things wholesale." And eo Edith Ferrol economized and studied and contrived and was successful. She felt herself to be a better manager than she had ever been before. There was no doubt that she was a happier wife and mother and

homemaker than she had ever been before. (To be continued)

ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have known

a man for several years and always thought he was a gentleman. A short time ago he acted aa if he wanted to flirt and I let him and we became friends for a short time. I let him make love to me and now I have discovered he is married. He must have told his wife that he has gone with me, because when they pass me on the street she turns around and stares at me. I am broken-hearted because I learned to love him and did not know I wa3 doing anything wrong when I went with him. What should I do so the woman will not talk about me to other women? BROKEN-HEARTED. You need not fear that the wife will tell. It would reflect on her husband too much and would be a confession that she herself is not attactive enough to hold him. Forget the affair as quickly as possible. You realize by this time that the man was to dishonorable to be worthy of you. Do not flirt again. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am sixteen years old. I met a boy when I wa3 eleven and I liked him very much, but thought it was the so-called "puppy love." Now I speak to him whenever we meet. I never can get over my love for him. It seems that I never liked a boy better. I have tried hard to forget him, but I can't. Do you think this is real love? DAILY READER. If you have tried hard to forget the boy and can't, you must try harder. If you analyze your thoughts I think

you will find that you have permitted

yourself to think of him a great deal and to Imagine how pleasant it would

be if he cared for you. To forget him you must put him out of your

thoughts every time he enters. You have a case of "puppy love" and will surely get over it

Dear Mrs. Thompson: About a year

ago while on my vacation I met a man. When I left that place he asked me if I would write. We corresponded for a time, and then I left for the south. As my mail was not forwarded to me while down south I did not get his last letter until five months later, when I came back home. I have been very undecided about answering it since such a long time has elapsed since I received it it is nearly eight months now. Would it be all right to answer it now? I have heard that he was soon to leave for France. PEGGY. It will be all right to answer the letter. The . long silence may make him all the more glad to hear from you, because he will learn that you are still his friend.
