An Annual Injustice
By Beatrice Fairfax
THERE are very few girls over ten
these days who do not have their'
own Christmas spending money.
Those 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 is
given every Saturday night her weekly
allowance for “helping mother” during
the week.
Out of thi§ allowance when a child,
and later out of the money she earns
with her own hands, siie 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 purses that
are much flatter.
She Is young, and, therefore, has a

“Yes, sir,” said the teacher. "He

the other boys to do all his work for

Pat had joined the navy, and was

Immediately Pat fell into the water.
“Two deep!” was the next order.

A long-gone friend drops in on a snowy night to tr k over old times.
long list of friends. After she is older
she will find that many plants she nur
tured in her garden of friendship have
proven to be weeds, but in the hope
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 al]
on her list. She puzzles over it with
pretty brow 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 friend, and with the few pennies
left gets mother a back comb, br sub
scribes for a magazine for father which
contains the kind of reading she most
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 inexcusable.
Daughter forgets mother or father is an
individual, with personal longings and
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 the 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 a gift 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 as 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:
“Let mo be 'the house' this year.
Give me a new mattress for the spare
room instead of that set of furs 1
want."
Be just, girls, and don't try to spread
your spirit of generosity over too largi

Daysey Mayme and Her Folks
By Frances L. Garside
BUYING FOR FATHER.
THERE may be other women who
pojjit with pride and alarm to
long lists of friends and relatives
they remember at Christmas, but there
isn’t one of them so badly infected with
the Holy Yuletide germ as Daysey
May me Appleton.
She gives to everybody, including the
woman she met on a train a year ago
last summer and hasn’t seen since. She
gets the Christmas trot in such exag
gerated form that if it were not for her
father's exalted position as Kin Com
missioner General of the United States,
she would be arrested for exceeding the
speed limit.
After such effort her brain had begun
to feel as inflamed as a sprig of holly.
She had scratched name after name off
her list and had at last come to father.
“Dear father,” she thought. "He is
so good! I must remember dear fa
ther!"
She coaxed S2O out of him as a pre
liminary effort to remembering him,
and with this in her purse she started
downtown.
She passed a millinery store on the
way and went in. When she came out
she had paid $lB for a sweet little hat
the size of a wagon wheel.
“I am on my way." she recalled, “to
buy a Christmas gift for father.”
She reached a department store and
went tn and walked and walked, and
ROMANCE UP TO DATE.
It was a secluded corner, hemmed in
with palms and fairy lights, calm, cool
and restful. In the distance could be
heard the strains of a band, playing a
slow, rapturous waltz. The very air
breathed with romance.
"Do you realize what it would mean
if I were to give you such a beautiful
ring?" he asked softly.
She thought she did; but. instead of
saying so—for she wished to hear him
say those blessed words herself -she
cooed a gentle—
“ What? What would it mean?"
“It would mean," he said, as he rose
to his feet, “that. I should have to live
on ten-cent lunches and wear old
clothes for a year!"

Advice to the
Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX,
BOTH RIGHT AND NATURAL.
Dear 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 1
■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. lam sixteen years old and
considered very good looking. At
present he is making sl3 a week:
lie is a section hand for a very
large railroad, but has fine chance
for advancement. Do you consider
his small wages and age 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 elop
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 Failfax:
I iwi nineteen and love a man
four years my senior. His sister
and I are friends and I often call on
her. when I know he is out.
The last feu times I called on
her I triet three or four young ladies
of about my age and they, not
knowhjg me, made inquiries as to
his whereabouts and made state
ments which led me to believe that
they ate 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 sain,
motive that takes you there.
Don’t go so often, and don’t. I beg of
you, if you want to win this man’s love
make the mistake of being too easily
won yourself.
