The HOUSEWIFE and HER AC TTVITIES

PICNICS

11 you go a-picnlcking and throw your scraps about You'll never see the little folk go running in and out, And if you leave your orange peel all littered on the grass You'll never go to Fairyland to see the fairies pass. For empty tins and tangled str- ings And paper bags are not the things To scatter where a linnet sings.

so if you go a-picnicking, remem- ber you're a guest Of ah the tiny people, and you'll really find it best ‘lb leave their ballroom tidy and to clear away the mess And perhaps you'll see a fairy ‘in her newest dancing dress. But paper bags and broken combs will really wreck The pixie homes And frighten all the tiny gnomes.

But if you go a-plcnicking and you are elfin-wise.

-You'll maybe hear with fairy ears

and see with gclblin eyes; The little folk will welcome you and they will open wide The hidden doors of Fairyland and you will pass inside. And maybe see a baby fay White-cradled in a cherry spray Although. it is Bank Holiday —}3 E TODD.

TENACITY

Tenacity of purpose is char- Icteristic of all men who have ac- complished great things. They may Ind: other desirable traits. may have all sorts of peculiarities. and weakness. but the quality of per- sistence. clear grit, is never absent from the man who does things. Drudgery can not disgust him. labor can not weary him. hardships can not discourage him: he will persist no matter what comes or 8085. because persistence is part of his nature —O S M.

HUMILITY

To be humble is not to think mesnly of one's self. To be humble is knowing your character and abilities to be willing to take a lower place, and perform a menial service —Lyman Abbott.

CONVBRS ATION

The extreme pleasure we take in talking of ourselves should make us fear that we give very little to those who listen to us.

—La Rochefoucauld.

MAN’

lamb capacities have never been measured: nor are we to judge of what he can do by any precedents, no little has been tried -—Thoreau.

COUNSEL

Consult your Friend on all things. emecislly on those which respect yourself. I-Iis Counsel may then be uscfu1,where your own self-love might impair your Judgment.

VEXATIONS It has been well observed that the misery of man proceeds not from any single crush of over- whelming evil. but from small vexstions continually repealed. ——Johnson

100 MUCH TO DO

The complaint of the passengers on the Queen Mary that there was too much to do in the time at their disposal is a common one where- over one turns. With all the differ- ent methods of disposing of time that were at the passengers‘ ser- vice it might not seem extra- ordinary if there were not an odd moment left idle. But one finds people everywhere and in every walk of life, old and young alike, voicing the some pics

Dorothy Dix ’s Letter Box

(lhildren Should be Taught Early in Life the Value of Money, How Hard it is to Acquire and the Dangers of Spending it too Rapidly

Dear Miss Dix-—My wife and I argue over the way our son spends his 1 money. He is 15 and we give him a good allowance. There are weeks ‘ when he does not spend all of it, but puts it away as he does the money given to him by his aunts and uncles. Then when he has a 4.'0nbl(lCl'flble amount saved up he spends it for sonic expensive toy. I think it is wrong for him to vluste his money this way, but his mother says it is all right as it is his o\vn money and it is his privilege to buy with it what he pleases. I have tried to get him to establish 9. savings bank account, but he refuses ‘.0 do this as he lost the money that he hao in one when the banks failed. Will you give us some advice on this sub,i‘-‘C’-»

A CONSTANT READER.

Answer:

I think your wife is right in saying that you should keep your hrnds ofl‘ of your b0y'5 money and that he lms a right to spend li- as he pleases so long as he is making no im-

proper use of it.

In fact, he shows a great deal of character and sc'.f—cont1~o1 in being able to deny himself the things he wants at the moment in order that he may accumulate enough to buy something bigger ilult he wants later on. That is the basis on which fortunes are laid. It is the people who i'l‘1L;er away their money on every passing fancy who never accumulate anyllmlg and who never have anything worth willie. it is the little leaks in the pocket through which the money goes, the llicklrs and dimes that We spend for foolishness that we would be b~:tter off without, that keeps us

1100!‘.

There is no phase of a child's education that is more importltnt than to teach it how to handle money, yet it is one that most iathers and mothers neglect entirely. Sometimes they are too generous in the ilnlollllt they give 2 child; sometimes they are too nlgs«"Il‘dl.V. Gem-ra1ly_th(‘.V T1350 no system about it and they make no attempt to show the Child how to budget its small income and get the most out of it.

Every child over 5 should have its personal allmvcmce which should be adequate to cover its little expenses and a. few treats. and the child snou d be made to keep within this, and it should never be supplemented by extra money. If the child spends its whole week's pocket money the iu':t day. it should have to go without the things it wants until next pay (lay. In that way only can you teach him to live within his income and ‘.hat spendthrifts invariably come to want.

A very wise father that I know solves the children's mcomc plan in this way: Each one receives his or her stipcnri on Saturday and is re- quircd to put. 10 per cent in his or her savings bank. They urn never given any extra money, but they are permitted to earn money. If Joliluly, say. wants a half dollar or Mary :1 quarter, the mother or father Dl'o'.'l.ie. some task whereby they can make the money, thereby giving tho chlid not, only what it wants. but tccching it the invaluable lesson tin: if ue want more money we must work for it.

Some parents make the mistake Of lIlVll‘l;' a. child lll(li‘i(‘Iv ll‘-ld '~3lL‘“ virtually taking it away from him by supervising who: he docs. Will] it too closely. as is the case with the father who vvrites this letter. That not only discourages the child from lrying to save and takes axvuy all of i‘:. pride of financial independence. but it also keeps it from lC.ll‘ll1li;: how to manage money. It is only through cxpcrience and from the mistakes \ve have made that we learn wisdom in spending as in everything else.

A boy as intelligent as your son should not let one bank failure wreck his faith in the whole banking system. He will hllvc to get ovcr that when he is grown and attempts to go into bmillcss, ior he can't go armlnd all of his life carrying his nioncy ill his sock. or hiding it in n cracliud teapot on the kitchen shelf. He is the very sort of char the savings banks are made for.
