They often worry about the wrong child. Sue is headstrong. She makes up her own mind about thing . Frequently she and her parents are at cross purposes. 1 Sue gets into a scrape once in a while. She is more interested in clothes and boys than in making good grades. She isn’t easy to handle. Her mother and father worry about her a lot. They wish she were more like her sister Mary. Mary Always Obeys Mary has “never given them a moment’s trouble.” Mary is easily influenced by her parents’ wishes. She doesn’t disobey r put up a fight to get her way. She is so conscientious about her school work that she is broken hearted if she makes “just aver age” in anything. She never gets in any kind of trouble. She wears the clothes her mother picks out and thinks they are fine. So the parents never think twice about Mary, except to be grateful that she is so eatsily managed— but they worry a great deal about Sue. Chances are Sue will turn into a happier, better adjusted grown-up than Mary. Sue has enough individuality to know what she wants, and enough spunk and courage to get it—even when it seems to be denied her. She isn’t afraid to take a chance now and then, or to show defiance. There is no danger of her not look ing after herself first of all. Mary Mav Let Life Pass Her By Mary, while sweeter and more tractable, may just r’t and let life pass her by. She would never risk her parents’ displeasure to go after the things she wants. She isn’t likely ; get along as well with people her own age as with older people—who approve of her and let her knov it. Because of that ehe will always lean too heavily on he- family. Mary is the girl Mama and Pa pa should orry about. The fact that she has never caused them a moment's worry is reason enough for worrying. 4 QUARTER OF STUDENTS WORKING WAY THROUGH SCHOOL, FIGURES SHOW GREENSBORO, Sept. 18.—Ap proximately one-fourth of the stu dent body of 2,300 at Woman's College of - the University of North Carolina is working its way through college, figures from the office of C. W. Phillips, director of public relations and head of the Place ment Bureau, revealed today. Mr. Phillips has between 500 and 600 girls placed at the college in din ing room work; on college bud get; on N. Y. A., and in scores of odd jobs such as handling the agencies for dry cleaners, news papers, magazines, and Christmas cards, dresses, stationery; substi tuting in offices in town as secre taries; working in local stores in the afternoons and on Saturday; taking care of children at night; and tutoring. Mr. Phillips estimate that a total of $60,000 will be earned this year by self-help stu dents at the college. Dining room work at the college paying 83 girls, on full time work, $205.00 each a year, and 83, on half-time, $80 a year, is one of the most popular of the self-supporting jobs. Those girls wait on table for dinner at night which is served family style in the four big college dining halls, and take care of the steam tables for breakfast and, lunch, which are served cafeteria style. There are 100 girls on college budget, each erning from five to eight dollars a month. These girls, engaged for their ability, work as assistants in the college laboratories, in the library, post office, book-store, and in faculty offices. N. Y. A. takes care of 275 girls each earning from $12 to $15 a month. These girls are chosen pri marily by need, and are paid by the government, but placement at the college in faculty offices, laboratories, at switchboard, etc., is done in fields that seem best suited to the girl’s abilities. This is the sixth year of government aid at the college. In addition to this students have access to approximately $15, 000 annually in 50 loan and schol arship funds. Last year approxi mately 200 students received aid through these funds. 2 Sneads Hosts Last Evening Feting Couple Miss Betty Garrabrant And Robert Cantwell Are Honor ed At Informal Supper Mr. and Mrs. Alex Snead enter tained last evening at an informal supper party at their home at Har bor Island honoring Miss Betty Garrabrant and Robert Cantwell, III whose wedding will be an event of Saturday, September 28.
