PARTIES FOR CHILDREN
MANY hostesses are harassed by,
the thought of having to pro
vide "something quite new" ]
something which; without being ex
cessively elaborate, shall be striking-;
ly effective and provide a . pleasant
surprise for both young android.
For children and grown-ups a toy'
party is a very enjoyable affair. Each
guest is asked to bring with them a
toy. It may be home-made or bought,
but anyway the cost must not exceed!
a sum fixed by the hostess.,
The toys are all arranged on a ta-1
ble and each guest votes for the most- >
original and the most unoriginal j
ring always their own contribution. j
The donors of the two respective toys \
receiving most votes • each get a prize,
and the whole of the toys are sent to
a hospital or some poor children in the
name of the whole party.
A brown paper party Is also : good
fun. The guests ail wear costumes
contrived from \ brown paper. With a
little skill some wonderfully good
dresses can be arranged. Brer Rab
bit, Eskimos. Red Indians, Prairie
Olrl. Cowboy—-these are a few of the '■
most obvious sngcestiont.
v. For ; children a fairy party is very
attractive. The room should be clear-!
Ed of ordinary furniture * and trans-1
formed into a fairy . palace. Some |
painted cardboard, tree branches, tin
sel, flowers and twinkling lights I skil
fully arranged will effect a most real
istic transformation.
The invitations should be sent out
in the names of the fairies, and 'the
little guests should ccme as fairies j
of every clime and—if 'liked—charac-1
ters of well-known fairy tales. --^^
In similar way It is-possible, to give
■ witch party in a magic j cave or' a*
Dutch party in a Dutch interior, while:
forethought will suggest ether ,i ideas j
equally atractive and easy to carry |
through successfully. •,, ' - ■■

BUSINESS
GIRLS
Should Learn To
Save.
LUCILLE DAUDET
WOULDN'T it be profitable for
the business girl to give a lit
tle thought to the matter of
saving? "' , *
Some business women do try to save
a certain I percentage fof -'" their ; salary,
but others give; no thought of it. And
especially is this true of the begin
ner in business. It Is such a novelty
-to her: to y have i her own money to
spend, it -is so delightful to buy what
ever she wants without having to con
sult anyone, that her- money y slips
through her fingers like water' The
thought of 3 systematic 'saving has not
j yet entered her head. .*•" '
But there is a ! pleasure In systeu; :t
-lie saving that t has to be experienced
jto be realized.; And there are future
1 benefits that are still more delight-"
! ful. And It is a: practice that: in Itself
j has a great: effect on a girl's charac
; tef. So that there is r.c girl who "will
| net be profited by saving, and profit
ed" In ways that will bring, her > keen
satisfaction. .'; » - .
So ilt ■' will : pay even the most
thoughtless little business girl to give
some attention l to the j matter.
The Best way fo- the business girl
|to save is: not to put by the quarter or
| half j dollar or dollar that may be left
;in : her purse at 1 the end of " the week.
; Of; course, It is better to do this: than
; not to saveV at all. ,' But *; the ■ most sat-
I isfactory.;* way to save is to save sys-
I tematically, to decide to put'by so
I much each % week; i and -* then "to* do It.
| willy nllly.
And the surest way 10 succeed ia
this plan is to join some sort of par
ing: association where, if one does not
pay In the amount regularly, there Is
lslSJl^S§JPlß^s^iiffl^S* pfl ho!?
Jof the programme of successful, sav
j ings is to ? put by the :3ioney: at the
beginning of the week, on the day the
pay, envelope: is received. If y the
amount to be saved is In the saving
j fund. It cannot be spent and one will
get along somehow without it. But if
it is in the pocketbook. it is liable to
slip ; away, ? and ■ when the 1 day ' for pay
ing it ', Into the fund comes, :it is not
at hand. • . .
Saving systematically In- this way
introduces system»into T one's method
of living. A girl is compelled to know
what her expense are order to
know how much she ca- save. There
fore, the beginning of systematic -sav
ing Is apt to. mean the inauguration
of an 5 expense account. 5 ; :;/ " ;•
y And few things arc so' helpful !*»
I the business girl as this. When sh*?
| sees, in black: and Vwhite; where her
j money is going;: she is apt; to spend
j mere * carefully. And :' though :; a; ; girl
| may think the keeping of an expense
t account at this period of her life is
| all foolishness, and ; that ;the Jotting

cents for soda and 25 cents for neck
wear is V a -waste of; time, its results
reach ! much farther than she ? now.
dreams. y% y:--. -• ': ; ;.:" r :
b - If she gets the habit yf keeping tab
on her expenses, and learns in this
way the * proportion that should exist
between the various items, if in time
she has a home of her own to manage,
and; the :*' probability -is i she b will, thoc
she; will be able to run her household
expenses more successfully.
She will not be l-e sort of wife who
every week finds her be retold allow

the happiness of the home.
'The* girl who has a "bank account
has a sense of t independence and ' free
dom that is worth a lot to her. If she
has something to fall back upon she
doesn't have to endure unendurabfc
