If you d slip your feet out on the cold floor, open your door without a :: 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 Up-to-Date Jokes Teacher (reading aloud) —-The weary sentinel leaned on his gun and stole a few moments sleep. I “I bet I know where he stole It.” “Where, Dot?" "From his ‘nap-sack.” “Does mj boy," inquired the parent, “seem to have a natural bent in any one direction?” "Yes, sir,” said the teacher. "He gives every indication of being a cap tain of industry some day. He gets the other boys to do all his work for him." Pat hail joined the navy, and was being drilled with his shipmates on a pier. “Fall in!” came the order, immediately Pat fell into the water. "Two deep!” was the next order. Pat (sputtering in the water): "Rad scran to ye! Why didn't ye tell me it was too deep before I fell in?” It was dinner time and the conversa tion turned to sport. "Did I ever tell you about me brother T on winning the cup In the Marathon lace?” said Terence to his mate. "One i up—w hy, that's nothin'!” said Mike.

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 curtains of the living room -then- in the dickering of the flames and the dim glow of candles you'd find your little old grandmother entertaining a late guest!

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. Shetect 1/cuUetf!
