A great many people agree nowadays to that principle, and the number of its advocates is steadily growing. Hut the part the children play in this division of income is a minor one in a great many families. Allowances or Payment for Tasks? One reads many articles debating the question whether it is better to give a young child a fixed sum and expect him to do whatever house hold tasks are allotted; or whether it is better to allot the tasks, pay a fixed sum for doing these tasks and pay extra for any extra work done. The advocates of this latter plan feel the child efts a better idea of the Is Your Trade Worth a Half Cent the surest and quickest way for you to find out is to watch your bread.

Apropos of this latter plan I like to recall the stories a friend of mine tells about the little son of the editor oT a well known household magazine.

As my friend saw the system worked out, the small boy had to be paid even to get his moth er's glasses that had been left up stairs ( Going back to the co-operative idea of handling family finances, the question arises, how long should the children be considered a family ex pense, and when should they become sharers in the common scheme? It would seem to depend upon the in dividual child,' for maturity is not entirely a question ot age, and no child who lacks mature judgment could possibly be responsible for his third or fourth or fifth of the income. One enthusiastic writer on this sub ject tells of admitting each child to full partnership at the age of 16, then the child is to save enough of his share to pay his school expenses, in- Teterscn ft Pejrnn fisting Co. for Your Groceries and Best Creamery Butter, lb., 58t Oleomargarine, per lb..27t?

Does it sound too Utopian a scheme for the average family? This writer insists that it was done in his own family and that the son and daughter grew up with a real sense of money values that stood them in good stead when they were on their own financial re sponsibility entirely. Surely there could be no better type of money training than such a device. I know of two actual families in which the young people have been given free access to the family pock etbook. They were free to take what ever they thought necessary, only leaving a slip stating amount taken, and purpose of money if it 'was a large sum. Of course only a remark able sort of girl or boy could do such a thing without taking advantage of it, but in the one case at least, the girl that I knew was a remarkable sort of girl. 1 could not help won dering if the system was possible be cause of the character of the girl, or whether her character was not, in part at least, a result of such a sys tem. There would surely be less in sistent demand of our girls and boys for money beyond their fair' share of the income, if they knew what that income was, how it was spent, and that every cent they spent be yond their share meant that some one else had to do without what rightfully belonged to him or more often to "her," for it is the mother of the middle class family who "does without" time and time and again.

Mrs. .Shopper will go marketing as usual this week, but she will lose sight of her "Sunday dinner" in her enthusiasm over possibilities for "spring garden." Sets for the garden are super seding vegetables for the table and even the soil is favorable for the seeds that come this year at 5 cents the package straight a little higher than last year. Onion sets especially are ready for "boxes and hot beds," and both red and yellow sets claim 7Va cents the quart. Grass seed now is "in season" ex actly and comes at 35 cents a pound. As for the Sunday dinner: Eggs are 40 cents the dozen, butter is climbing to 60 cents for every pound, and oleomargarine is 38 and 40 cents. Cheese keeps in the same line and has crept to 35 cents a pound. It advanced 2 cents on Thursday. Meats are just the same with the exception of pork, which has ad vanced 5 cents, .taking 35 cents a pound; even spare ribs have added, Vt cents to their price. Lard is 35 cents a pound an increase of 3J4 cents this week. There will be few Sunday "chicken dinners" when every pound of chick, en is 38 cents. Vegetables are now common to the market and the prices have re mained the same; onions, carrots, beets, turnips and all such vegeta bles in bunches for 7 cents. Cucumbers are 25 cents each and celery 60 cents a bunch. Apples are kings of the price list, for they are $5 for every box; $1 a peck, or $12 a barrel. Oranges have raised their prices 10 cents on every dozen. The weekly meeting of Alta Hens- man's group was held Monday at the home of Dorothy Fay.

Some years ago her husband died, so she was married again so she could keep her children together, but this man has left her with another little girl and the stork will visit her this month again. She hasn't any baby clothes. I saw in the paper where some good lady had some baby clothes to give someone in need of them. Well, this poor woman is in need, if any one ever was. They all had the "flu" about Christmas, and one of the little ones died. She has writ ten to nie to send her some of my girl's clothes, but my girl is 6 years old. and I have sent her a lot of little things I could give. Thanking you for helping so many, and I just know some one will help this wo man. Yours truly, A READER OP THE BEE. If your town has a Visiting Nurses' association, the nurses will furnish the baby layette and also care for the mother. Isn't there a welfare board or any organization in Ottumwa that will look after this woman? Omaha is too far away to give much assistance. Care Bachelor Farmer. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I am a reader of your column. There is always a fight at our house to see who gets that part of the pa per first. Those silly letters and your answers afford so much amusement. How you can answer with so much grace as you do is a mystery to me.

NOW for Some GOOD HOME Daily We Discuss Our Af fairs and Bring the Sad and Gay Together for Sifting, Assorting and Untangling, Bachelor, I, like yourself, never met that animal called love, and since you haven't ever felt the funny sensation under the left suspender, I was wondering if you and I wouldn't be reasonably happy to gether. Now, I am not strikliiKly beauti ful, but could be much worser lookingr and, between yotins and us uns I think a littlo powder Improves my lookin'; but if Mr. Bachelor ob jects I'll swear off, honest to good ness. I am going to admit I could be' much happier than when I am sousing my hands in greasy dish water or making fluffy brown bis cuits for dear hubby. Thirteen years companionship with aisn washing makes me love it so ever since 1 could stand on a nox ana reach the dlshpan. Oh dear, I never meant to tell my age. And say, Mr. Bachelor, how old are you; and, honest, I am dying to know lust how ugly vou are. I could stand a little ugliness, but I do hope you don't have to set up with your face to keep it rrom nurt ing. Well, here's hoping It will all come out In the wash, and a wish to know you personally. JUST ME Your letter Is too long, but I want my reader friends to know that one girl in the, world enjoys washing dishes. Dishes provoke most of us to crime. Smart Girls. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: We are two girls of 18 and 20 years. When we go to dances and a boy thanks us fof a dance, what should we say? And when they take us home should we thank them, and what, should we say? When a boy nuts his arms around us should we thank him and kiss him? Do boys carry influenza germs? Would we get it if we kissed them? Should we wear our skirts above our knees? Should we go Into a deserted house when a boy asks us to? Why? We arc asking you this, aa we have no one else to consult with. Hoping to see this In print In Tuesday's Bee, we remain hoplessly, PIMPLES AND BLACKHEADS. P. S. We promise to accept your advice. P. and B. Too many thanks might be ob jectionable. By all means thank the boys, hug them and kiss them many times. If they condescend to put their arms around you. No, boys do not carry Influenza germs only the girls. Girls 18 and 20 should not wear their skirts above their knees unless they are very shapely and work in a chjrus. Skirts will be worn much longer this spring that is, for Street wear. It depends entirely on what attraction the deserted house holds usually they are poor as to lighting effects and music. However, it depends en tirely on the house. I am giving you this excellent advice with the firm conviction that you will not follow it. A Lonesome Girl. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: Now to bare my heart to you! I am just a lonesome girl, 19 years old. and I am considered good look ing, though I didn't start to tell you of my looks, as they suit me O. K. I am not lonesome for want of friends, as I have plenty of both sex, but am lonesome for, (well, why beat around the bush?) the love of some true-hearted man. Quite a confession, but none the less true. The men of today are scarcely my kind. I don't want a man of flashy socks and ties, sporty clothes and for good times, but a man who loves home, a wife and children. I could make some good man happy, I know. But Is there such a man? I am very Jolly, enjoy a certain kind of fun, though I don't run out like most, or all, the girls I know, stay ing out all night at dances or some such sport and soon losing their sweet childish looks just for want of sleep. But I love home and would want a man to love and work for with all my heart. I would like to say to "Bachelor Farmer" that I intend to wait for Vny "ideal," for I know I will be re warded in the end.

She Wants to Vamp Him. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I am seeking your advice on the all- I important subject, "love." Now, I am 16 years old and am a senior in high school. I am very small for my age, have dark brown curly hair, but it is very thin. How shall I comb It? My eyes are light blue and not very strong; I wear glasses and my schoolmates call me Four byes. Don't you think this is un kind? I am very attractive and a good student, but do not have many boy friends. What do boys like? I am very fond of a young man in mv class. How can I tell him that i love him? He asked me to attend a basket ball game in a different town, but my mother said I could not go. Would you advise me to leave home? My friend is 22 years old. Is the difference in our ages too great? I love him dearly and will never be happy without him, but he does not care for me. How can 1 vamp him? If I take the class honors this year I will go to a col lege next year. What clothes will be necessary? My beau's hair is red .and they call him "Bed," and he is very tall with a long nose. Do you think his hair would look well parted in the middle? Would dark blue, and yellow be good colors for me Jto wear? Now, Miss Fairfax, please answer as soon as possible and oblige me and mine, K. AND R. Make every hair do its full share of work. A hair dresser is better able to advise you than I am, Boys usually like what they cannot get just the same as girls whether it be candy or $10,000,000. Don't tell the boy you love him, for I am sure you will change your mind and regret your rashness. Be nice to him,, but not too nice.

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: This Is the first time I have written to you for advice, but read it daily. Now, Miss Fairfax, my first question is: Why can't a girl get the fellow she really wants? I am a young girl, 19 years of age, and always out for a good time; what I mean by that is a clean, good time, going in bunches and having parties and go ing to dances with girls and boys together. Now, Miss Fairfax, it seems that Just the boy I don't care about is the one that cares for me, and the one I do care about is the one that don't care for me. I met a young man about a month ago with whom I think I am really in love. Have been going with fellows ever since I was about 15 years old and always had lots of suitors, but this is the only one I have really and truly eared for. I see and talk to him every day, but have only been out with him two or three times, be cause he works nights, but he gets off of tener than that, but alwavs has something else to do on the nights he's off, such as going to bed or go ing out with the boys. He tells his boy friends that he cares for me, but if he does why don't he ask to take me out oftener? Now, Miss Fairfax, my letter is getting pretty long, so I Just want to ask you how or wjiat I can possi bly do to win this young man's love and keep it? I try not to get sen timental when he does take me out or take me home from places, be cause they say when you let him L M,k-he'8 got you tnere where he 11 fool you. I want to keep him guessing, but don't know horn I Wish you would write a nice, long letter in The Bee some evening to help me and other young girls also on how to keep the fellows guess ing. I've tried to do it, but don't know how; my way won't work and I need someone's advice. Please tell me how to act when around this young man, so as win his love?

Suppose you permit his sister to do as she pleases about going out with other men before she has se cured her divorce. It is not right but, after all, isn't it her trouble and not yours? Speak to your husband about her accompanying you on all your littlo outings. Take her only occasionally and remember that her great desire to go out may be to help overcome grief. A Header I see no reason why you should not have good friends among the boys. Seventeen is too young to be serious, but quite old enough to be a llttl lady. Finish your education by all means. You are. I am sure, a nice little girl and I like the way you speak of your father's second wife.
