. , tion of Unappreciative Girl?

. , -_-.___ vMiss Dix-Should children- pay back their parents for their rais-

4 d their education? f em a girl i9 years old and ever since I got my first job my father and mother have taken possession of my payenvelope . . on the ground that I owed it to them for the money they spent on bringing me up. When I have protested at getting only s2 or 83 a week out of the money I cam the reply has been that I had better pay my debts before I begin to spend. It makes me feel as if I had- been sold into peorlage, and the worst oi it is I don't know how much they have charged up against me, nor how long I'll have to slave to buy my freedom. Do you think they are giving me a square deal? NINA.

IillldNfl into the world entirely for their own _ leesure and without l-ny regard whatever for

l e child's wish to be born, it is most unjust l

‘for them to force children to reimburse them for their upbringing. It is being made l0 pay for a present that you don't want and that 1s a burden that some one thrusts upon you.

It is a curious thing that parents think that their children owe them an lnestimable debt of gratitude for bringing them into the world, no

CURTAINS

To prevent short cilrtains from blowing vases off window ledges, l try the following hint. Screw a small hook under the wooden window sill, and sew-a small loop on to the bottom of your curtain. The curtain can them be hooked into position without spoiling the appearance of the windows.

RAFFIA BAGS

Raffle bags can be made like now again by means of straw hat dye- Romove the lining from the beg and paint on the color with a srnall blush.

SALT CELLARS

fmatter what sort of world they are thrust into, though what the children who are born with hereditary diseases and mental deficiencies and who are i doomed to poverty in their cradles have to thank their progenitors for, it is hard to say. Indeed, most parents, looking upon the little red squirming

mite of humanity upon which they have thrust the gift of life, might well - say with old Omar: “My forgiveness giveand take."

There are still other parents who regard their children as nothing , but slaves sent by a beneflcent Providence to save them from the necessity ' of laboring. They put their offspring to work lust as soon as the little , hands are capable ofperforming any task, they collect their meager wages, and by the time the youngstem reach adolescence they knock of’! work for l, good and spend the remainder of their lives living on their children. There l‘ are thousands upon it usands oi big, husky, middle-aged men who are .. being supported by anemic, underfed, overwonked boys and girls.

The parents‘ excuse for this always is that they took care of their children when they were little and now it ls the children's tum p; take care of them, though even at this Father and Mother get the best of the bargain, since generally the child has to pay ofl for the ten or fifteen years £0! infancy in which they cared for him by supporting them for thirty or

forty years. At this rate. bringing up children pays a bigger percentage in profit than rearing any other kind of livestock.

v But it is a sordid thing for parents to put a price-tag on the baby's ‘,3 milk bottle and charge up against it every bowl of cereal and mess of sp “ch, with overtime for the hours when it was sick and Mother walked it t - the colic. We like to think that something better than greed warms ‘Yarms, that must die without they nourish and protect it. We like to think -- that love and a sense oi responsibility make them glad to toil for it and sacrifice for it without thought that they are making a good investment for the long pull. '

,1 And we like to think that the relationship of children to their parents '4 is hot that of a debtor to a hard creditor who is trying to screw §the last penny out of them, but that love, not duty or necessity, makes i‘ them succor the old people in their need and take upon their books the . burden under which aged shoulders are sagging. We like to think that o! daughters buy Mother pretty clothes and jimcracks because they remem- Tbofihow often she went shabby to buy them party frocks. We like to Qthlxlk that sons get more of a lkick out of making Father a good allowance fthnn they do out of any other money they spend, because they know now

'"_ to give them money for the circus or a new pair of skates.

So the question of what children owe their parents depends Very much ‘ on what the parents have done for the children. If the parents have given , their children love and tenderness and understanding; if they have done - everything they could do to make them happy, then the children owe them s, the same debt of affection and they are in honor bound to pay it back in gthe same coin.

l’? But if the parents have given their children nothing but their board ‘lend keep, and kept a running account of that and charged them usurious interest, then I don't blame the children for reneging at paying a. debt they ldld not voluntarily contract. ‘ ' ‘ . . ‘ DOROTHY DIX. f: ‘Dear Miss Dix-My daughter, a girl of l8, says to me: "Mother, I {don't intend to be a coed. I want to flit into society, find my Prince LCharming and marry." This from n. girl who has just graduated from . She has no experience in life, no idea of what she will ex- ‘ rpect out of it. Should she continue her education she would not lose out gsocially. In fact, it is her father's plan to have her spend her holiday gtime abroad with well-to-do relatives. What can a parent do with a yymodem girl? A WORRIED MUTHIZR.

Not much, I fear, because the modern girl is convinced that she has bitten by Solomon's dog and knows all there is to know. Especially fps ‘she sure that she knows more than that poor dumbbell, her mother. gwhom she generally regards as the extreme low in human intelligence.

i course, you might toll tier, though she probably wouldn't listen to ‘ you, that education does hm necessarily unfit a girl for society. 1n fact. there are those who consider that it adds to a girl's charm and uttfflotiVe- There are even those who consider it a necessity, and that no mat- €e'i‘ how pretty a girl is she cannot interest intelligent men unless she can ‘dohyerse fluently 811d eYIWWFWl-Fill HWE‘.QQ1PH'P.1.§HRKQF§= . . .... 1"" ‘You might also toll her that on this search for Prime Charmin! that iilie is so eager to start upon a. good education will be s. lamp to guide her feet and keep her from picking out an imposter. For now she is so ignor- that she has no standards by which to judge men. but an education will give her a yardstick by which to measure them and find out whether they come up to her ideal.

,But, as the old proverb‘ says: "You can lead a horse to water, but you

USEFUL COOKERI HINTS
