on the duties of merchants to home

ALLOWANCE FOR A GIRL.
Every girl even .-, small ones
should have an allowance for their
own personal use-, because it teaches
them the value of money and inci
dentally the principle of economy.
Even if it is only twenty-five cents
a week, a girl should have it regular
ly and.should.be made' to understand
that when that has ; been spent on
either necessities or luxuries no more
will be forthcoming until the next
week and teasing and begging for ad
ditional sums will not be considered
by cither parent. Thus the only wray
that there will be a chance for a small
Kl'ii or an older one to - get more
money than the regular allowance is
by earning It and in this way a cer
tain amount of industry is secured.
. There is no -better way to train a
young girl to be economical and to
attain a normal busmess-like point
of view, than by insisting that she
keep all expenses within the limit
J of her allowance. In this way a girl,
whether she is 6 or 10 years old,
will grow to understand that - If she
wants a thing and hasn't enough
money to purchase it she will have
to save every penny until the sum is
large enough to pay for the article.
The giving of an allowance is a
strong moral factor in developing
character, for lt undoubtedly checks
many ' fancies 'and silly whims that
would otherwise be indulged in and
brooded over until an easy-going
mother or father would supply the
extra funds just to have the girls in
good spirits again. The Epitomist.
