PLANNINO A WARDRORE
Allowance, for Clothing
It Is tho custom of many, nml
o'loiild ho with nil. lo havo a budget
r plan for spending tho Income, so
that a portion may ho saved for cd
i ration, Irnvnl, recreation, Invest
ment, clr. A certain percentage of
Hie wholo Is set asldo for shelter,
f ind, clothing, and other necessary
expenses, tho percentage allowed for
aih varies according to tho in
come, nnd the tastes and desires of
ihoso who plan tho spending. In
planning a fnndly budget, the
amount nllowed for clothing Is usu
ally twolvo to sixteen per cent of
tho total; tho pcrccnlago slightly
increases as tho incomo grows. I
F.llcn Richards proposed an Ideal 1
family budget which allows 15 per
nnl for clothing. 25 per cent for
food, SO per cent for rent, 15 per
cent for running expenses, nnd 2."
per cent for tho higher Interests of
life. Fifteen per cent for family
rlolhing is a good working rule for'
a family. When an Individual or
family budget has been mado, and
the allowance for clothing set
aside, tho "spender" should then '
apportion this allowance so ns lo
provide for the purchase of nil nec
essary garments. Tho times nnd
nlrlhods of purchase must depend
upon tho "spender's" way of hand-j
ling the nllowonce, This problem Is
worthy of thoughtful consideration,'
and -it is lo be hoped that every
rn.ider of this arllrlo who may not
have an nllowanco to spend upon
clothing, will seek lo havo such an
arrangement made. The experience
nf planning a clothing budget will
1,'povo valuable In many ways: it
enables one to learn not only how,
to spend well, hut also how to dress
well. There is no reason that tin
girl or woman of moderato or Hm-(
iled means should nnl bo ns at
trartiv'ply clothed as hor affluent I
sister, if her garments ho well
chosen. If ono needs to count tho;
cosi of each garment, more thought
h apt to bo put upon (ho selection I
of clothing thnn whon ono simply
yields to every fitful whim of de
sire.
Apportionment of Allowance '
A certain percentage of wearing
apparel must bo purchased ready-to-wear:
hosiery, knitted under
wear, corsets, shoes, slippers, over
shoes, sweaters, topcoats and suits.'
Consideration must first bo given to
the number of each artlolo needed,
the approximate cost of each; and
then distribution of tlul allowance

these, nnd also allow for the pur
ehaso of other garments, both under
and outer, either ready-to-wear, or
the material for their construction,
ami tho accessories, without which

SERIOUS NEW PEST OF WHEAT
Eclworm Ha Done Much Damagt In
Virginia and Other State Plant
Only Clean Seed.
The eelworm Is a serious new pest
of wheat which has recently done
much damage In Virginia, and to a
leer extent In West Virginia, Mary
land and California. The disease may
be recognized In the threshed grain by
the presence of hard, dark-colored
galls, about one-half the size of a
wheat kernel, which are easily over
looked or mistaken for bunt, cockle
seed or bin-burnt wheat. Plant only
clean seed wheat from fielda which
have not been Infested. The loss In
some Virginia fields amounted to aa
much a 40 per cent,
