:: An Annual Injustice ::
By Beatrice Fairfax
THERE are very few girls over ten
these days who do not have their
own ('hiistmas spending money.
I Thosi too young to earn money are
given an allowance, and this making of
daughter an independent factor in the
home begins in many instances when
she is little more than a baby, and i>
given every Saturday night her weekly
allowance for '‘helping mother” during
the week.
Out of this allowance when a child,
and later out of the money she earns
with her own hands, she buys many lit
tle luxuries for the home and for her
self. I put “the home” first for the rea
son that a daughter’s generosity is
proverbial.
When the holidays approach, she gets
out her little store, and no one engaged
in the great big shopping game at this
time of the year has a list that is long
er. And few. alas! have pulses that
are much flatter.
i She is young, and, therefore, has a

A young man about to get married

-he will find that many plants she nur
tured In het garden of friendship have

fulness of youth all look in her eyes
like buds of rare promise.
Home Folks Suffer.
Some one must be sacrificed. She
can not buy handsome presents for all
on her list. She puzzles over it with
pretty biow deeply furrowed. .She
would be ashamed to give an inexpen
sive present to this friend, or that
friend, recalling the handsome gifts she
received from them last year. No. she
can not economize there!
There is only one way left! She must
economize on what she gives her father
and mother!
"They,” she says, resting secure in a
love that knows no criticism, "will un
derstand.”
So she buys of the best for every so
called ft lend, and with the few pennies
left gets mother a back comb, or sub
scribes for a magazine for father which
contains the kind of reading she mor l
I enjoys.
This is a form of Christmas injustice
so often practiced that daughters get
used to this last-penny consideration
for the two who love them the most,
and give these little make-shift gifts
without regrets or a qualm of con
science.
Then there is another form of Christ
mas injustice just as inexcusab! .
Daughter forgets mother or father is an
individual, with personal longings ami
necessities. She regards the one. or the
other, or both, as "the house."
"The parlor," she says, “needs a new
chair. I will give one to mother and
father for Christmas.”
Sacrifice Others.
And there appears in th“ parlor a
chair which adds to its attractiveness
for daughter's company, it is not put
in father’s den where he can sit in it,
or in the Corner where mother spends
her few leisure moments, if it were,
then the spirit of Christmas would at
tend such and make of the least
expensive article the most comfortable
and comforting of its kind. But that
the gift is for "the house" is obvious.
To consider mother as the dining
room in urgent need of a new table
cloth, or father us the hall crying for
a new hatrack is to make of Christ
mas a"painful joke.
If. as daughter argues, "the house”
really needs new chairs, table linen or
hall furniture, then let her go to her
parents and say:
“Det me be 'the house' this year,
(live me a new mattress for the span
room instead of that set of furs 1
want.”
Be just, girls and don't try to spread
your spirit of generosity over too large
a surface If some one must be sacri
ficed In your < 'bt lstmus buying, don't
let that sacrifice be tin best friends
you have on earth your father and
your mother.
creak—sneak along the passage and down the black well of the stairs to the

and all atwinkle—and there’d be a pink spot in your grandma s either cheek—

ROMANCE UP TO DATE.
It was a secluded corner, hemmed in

breathed with romance.
"Do you realize wiiat it would moan

saying so —for she wished to bear him

Advice to the
Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
BOTH RIGHT AND NATURAL.
Hear Miss Fairfax:
Is it right for a fellow to ask a
girl to go out with him on a Mon
day and Thursday? Do you think
he cares anything about her?
M. M. F.
He certainly cares for her or he would :
not seek her company two evenings a
week. As this love story progresses I j
shall be sure he is limited in time or
love if he doesn't seek it oftener.
NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN.
Dear Miss Fairfax'.
I am in love with a man 45 years
old. and he says he loves me sin
cerely. I am sixteen years old and .
considered very good looking. At
present he is making sl3 a week;
he is a section hand for a very
large railroad, but has tine’chance
for advancement. Do you consider
ills small wages a detri
ment to our marriage? He wants
me to elope. RAY.
He is not a man of honor. No man of
45 will urge a girl of sixteen to elope
with him if he loves her in the right
way. You must never see him again,
or hold any communication with him. I
beg of you to heed me.
HAVE YOU A RIGHT TO OBJECT?
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am nineteen and love a man
four years my senior. His sister
and I ace friends and I often call on
her. when I know he Is out.
The last few times 1 called on
her I met three or four young ladies
of about my age and they, not
knowing me. made inquiries as to
his whereabouts and made state
ments which led me to believe that
they are fond of him and were out
in his company several times. A,
You are not engaged, and the fact ;
that you have given your love unsought ■
doesn’t make you the young man’s cen
sor or guardian.
It seems to me the other girls are
guests of his sister because of the same
motive that takes you there.
Don’t go so often, and don’t, f beg of
you, if you want to win this man’s love,
make the mistake of being too easily |
won yourself.
