Children Should
Be Taught How
To Spend
People are just beginning to learn
that thrift if not so much a matter
of saving monev as of learning how
to spend it. VVe Cannot teach a
child thrift merely by getting him
to hoard his pennies in a toy bank.
Possibly we might make a miser of
him by that process, but to make
him thrifty in the best sense of the
word, we must get him to exercise
good sense and responsibility in
spending money, instead of smoth
ering his growing soul with the
doctrine that the mere saving of
money is a supreme virtue.
The only way for anybody to
learn how to spend money, writes
Carl Marshall in "The Thrift"
magazine, is to have some practice
in spending it.
It is not a thing that we can learn
from listening to lectures and wise
maxims.
It is a case of "learning by do
ing," and that is an educational
principle that has been accepted
since the days of Pestalozzi. Also,
like everything else that is effec
tive in education, it must begin in
childhood.
The young person who reaches
the age of 16 without having had
any experience or training in the
wise handling of money, is most'
unlikely to become a thrifty man or
woman.
To the children in most families,
money is merely something that
will help them to various pleasures,
such as movies, candy, ice-cream
cones or other kinds of treats.
Money is to be had, mainly, by teas
ing for it, and the little schemers
become very ingenious in worming
it out of father or mother and in
"striking" them for it when condi
tions are propitious.
The practice of doling out money
to the children by dribbles, when
they tease for it, and without hold
ing them to any responsibility in
the matter of spending it, is un
doubtedly responsible for most of
the prevalent unthrift among our
young people. It is quite natural
that this childish attitude toward
money should continue even into the
period when the young person be
comes a money earner on his own
account, and oftentimes, into his
adult like as well.
The remedy for this resultant of
thriftiness is very simple, and may
be applied by any parent who is
thoughtful enough and loves his
child well enough to apply it.
Instead of giving the little folks
money in haphazard fashion and
when they tease for it, let them have
a stated sum each week, and then
insist upon their keeping an account
of what is done with every penny
of it.

The American girl progresses
every dayl Not many years ago it
was not "genteel" for her to indulge
in athletics in any form. The only
gymnastics permitted the average
woman were washing and ironing
clothes, scrubbing and making
bread. How different it is today
The modern college woman is a
good horseback rider, and expert
swimmer and an unusual tennis
player.
Tennis was not known at all to
any extent in America before 1880,
but women took it up almost im
mediately, and the fashion period
icals of that time published pictures
of "smart tennis costumes for la
dies." Delicious things they were
with high collars, long sleeves and
bustles 1
In 1900 tennis costumes were al
most as bad, though not quite: mi
lady had to play in high collars and
sleeves, but she had the slight ad
vantage of a fuller skirt. But what
good was that, when she had a
pinched up, wasp-like waist?
Now the modern girl enjoys a
set in a loose blouse, or middy,
with short sleeves and no corsets.
All she has to retard her is the tight
skirt.
How ridiculous the tight skirt is!
It hampers the player in every way.
In order to tolerate it the average
girl makes a huge slit in one side.
That of course keeps the skirt from
seriously impeding her, but still
a piece of cloth flaps and twists
about her legs in a most annoying
fashion.. Therefore what use is the
skirt in tennis playing? It does not
even cover the legs which was the
original purpose of the skirt.
Why not adopt the knickers or
bloomers of the college girl? On
the average college campus the girl
tennis players never wear skirts.
They are the leaders among wo
men today in other things. Why
should we not follow them in this?

Country club, Saturday evening.
Church Play.
The Young Women's Society of
the First Presbyterian church will
present a short sketch, entitled "Two
Masters." It will be given at the
Parish House Friday evening. The
play will be followed by a social
hour.

Bert Lytell Has Taken Up
Gown Designing Along
With Acting.
Bert Lytell is an adaptable young
actor. There is one scene in
"Lombardi, Ltd." that calls for the
creation on a living model of a
Lombardi gown. In the Oliver
Morosco stage version the difficulty
was easily surmountable. Distance
lent enchantment, and the details
of the gown's construction were''
not too discernable.
But the camera brings the aud
ience a foot or two away while
Bert Lytell builds his "masterpiece."
Therefore, Mr. Lytell has gone
into training. Every day he re
ceives a lesson in dressmaking from
Mme. Chappelle, a Los Angeles
modiste, and for several days prev
ious to the taking of the actual
scene, he spend several hours daily
in practice. . Once or twice he has
caught himself saying in all earnestness:
"You know, I just can't decide
which I like best over silver cloth
chiffon or Georgette crepe and
then one gets a sweet effect with
these."
No Spare Time.
"He bought a motor boat to oc
cupy his spare- time."
"Now?"
"Now he's so busy trying to get
the thing to run that he never has
any spare time to go riding in it."

Advice to the Lovelorn
Love Comes Unbidden and, "To Love or Not We Are
No More Free Than the Ripple to Rise and Leave
the Sea."
-By BEATRICE FAIRFAX-
A Brokenhearted Father.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I
have never written to you before,
but I am coming to you for advice
now. I am a married man, aa far
as I know. I have a good job and
making good money, but my wife
refuses to live with me. I don't
want to give up my little baby girl,
but I guess I will have to. I am
braking on the road and can give
my wife and baby a good home. We
are both of a very jealous disposi
tion. My wife now is living in
Omaha, while I am away working
every day to try and make them
happy. I have done everything that
I know of to do, but she will not
even answer my letters. I can get
no word from the baby. I don't
know anything: about her. I would
like awful well to hear about my
little girl. She will soon be 3 years
old. I wish you would please help
me and tell me what to do.
Hoping to see this In print soon
and also that my wife will see It.
Thanking you for your space and
trouble, I remain,
A BROKENHEARTED FATHER.
Your wife may not love you and
she may not care to live with you,
but surely she has no right to keep
your baby girl away from her
father without just cause. I, too,
hope she will see this letter and
"have a heart."
Wants Correspondent.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I
wish to correspond with a nice girl,
a Catholic, between the age of 20
and 27.
I regard myself the same.
Hoping, to receive an answer soon,
LONESOME.
My supply of nice young Catholic
girls between the age of 20 and 27
is very slim. Perhaps they may
hearken to your call.
Concerning "Simply Wild."
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
Will you tolerate a little bit of
criticism?
If so, I wish to come to defense
of "Simply Wild," because it seems
to me you were a trifle mistaken in
the view you took of his infatua
tion. One gets the Impression from
reading his letter that he is a man
of high ideals and character. To
me it was refreshing and proves that
romance is not dead and things so
cut and dried after all.
I will venture to say that his
letter thrilled the heart of every
girl who read it.
And where is the girl who
wouldn't forgive him for wanting
to carry her away?
The way he speaks of his mother
and home life bespeaks refinement.
That this girl is so young Is an
objection, of course, but do you take
the position that a man of 35 or
so cannot marry a girl of 14 and
make her happy?
A marriage of that kind might
perhaps not be best as a general
rule, but you know there are ex
ceptions to all rules. When I was
14 I married a man of 36, too, like
he says his mother did, and we
have been wonderfully happy.
God has certainly blessed our
home and you should Just see our
youngest daughter snuggle up on
her father's lap and call him the
dearest old-daddy there ever was.
I doubt if there is anywhere a
more Joyful and happy family. So
you see there are exceptions and
we have been married 16 yeaers.
Miss Fairfax, I sometimes won
der if you realize how great your
responsibilities are, and how very,
very carefully you should consider
every answer you give because of
the influence they may have In
bringing Joys or the tragedies into
the lives of others.
I do feel so sorry for this man
and I hope he finds the girl and has
a chance to win her love.
It's too bad he lost her, and if I
were him I would hunt a year to
find her. She might be a little
younger, or older than 14. Perhaps
16 and small for her age.
Men get excited when they fall In
love suddenly and are apt to get
mixed a little.
You may publish this If you care
to. Perhaps he might see it and
know there is one who hopes he
will find the girl he lost.
A FRIEND.
Call Him.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I
have written to you once before
and received an answer. I have
been going with a boy for about four
months steady and my family and I
think a lot of him. I was out with
him about a week ago and he said
he would call me up the next day
and I haven't heard from him
since.
I know that he is well, for friends
of mine have seen him down town
and out to the parks and he has al-

There is no flour like the flour that has my
name and picture on every sack. That's why
grocers who first think of their customers' in
terestsalways sell Omar.
Omar flour is not an accident it's a result of talcing
the best wheats from Minnesota, Nebraska, Oklahoma,
and Kansas, and then blending them in just the right
proportions to make the highest grade flour.
Even then, each batch must pass the baking test
in our laboratory, so that Omar flour users will
not be disappointed.
Once you know the creamy whiteness the
tvholesomeness the even texture and my! the

never taste just right.' Then too Omar Dread
stays fresh longer, because Omar is the purest
flour made. In fact, we know Omar flour to be
so good that this guarantee goes with every sack.

ever baked, simply take the empty sack
to your fcrocer, and fcet your money."
