The scale of propol tions has changed materially within the past few vears. In the matter of rent alone there is a difference of 5 per cent. Onefourfh of the family income used to be considered the right amount to use for shelter. Now it has dwindled one-fifth, and 20 per cent is estimated as correct. With rents high, this lessening of the proportion of income allotted to it may seem strange, but it has had to be so in/ order to meet the increase in other lines. In clothing, for instance, § per cent used to be ample. per cent of the income to meet neces- sities. The advance in the price of woolen goods and other clothing com- modities is responsible. This increase in the clothing budget has turned many women’s attention to the mak. ing of their own clothes and the doing of their own millinery. In this way the 12 per cent can be somewhat cut down and other items increased. The amount allotted for food hds in- creased enormously. Every housewife realizes that it costs double the sum to provide for the table now than it did when our mothers were housekeep- ing. But there is another point to be eonsidered, and that is that we expect things for our menus that they never did—tomatoes in Winter, for instance. Spinach, string beans and other vege- tables that they used to can and not consider using fresh during the time when they were out of season, we think nothing of having during all the seasons of the year. If we set as con- sistent tables according to what each season provided, our own would cost somewhat less, an. in many instances @ great deal less, than they do now. Budgets now include what the old- WHY WE DO BY MEHRAN K. No one forced you to make new year resolutions. If you made them you sincerely meant to keep them. And if you broke your resolutions, as most of us do, why did you? You wanted to do a good job, 80 you picked on your worst habits. But these often are the most strongly en- trenched. The struggle in making up your mind to part with these old cronies lowered your vitality and power of resistance. It tales greater energy to master yourself than it does to fight another, for you cannot escape yourself by running aw; He who conquers himself is indeed greater than he who takes a city. You probably hzndicapped yourself by fighting hard. That is the worst thing you can do. It is very bad psychology to say to yourself: “I will mot do §t! I will not do it The mature of an ides such that if kept at the focus of consciousness for any length of time it will work itself out in action. This is especially true of #n idea which arouses an established Babit or a native impulse.

It must of necessity be small, but, then, this sum includes extra entertainment nd not that which comes from de- lightful intercourse with friends. It includes theater tickets, those to the movies and like expenditures. Tod I am giving a schedule for a budget which has been carefully worked out by ex;orts. It may prove of assistance to those who are puzzled. Please remember that every household budget must be regulated to suit the especial needs of the family.

I may add that it has been found on investigation that the persons who were most punctili- ous in giving one-tenth were in most instances those who were most suc- cessful in amassing fortunes. Per- haps the reason is that they were also very careful in all expenditures, or it may be that the sums given in this way returned like the proverbial bread cast upon the water. Whatever the reason, it makes us think when making budgets that it may be wise not to cut down on the apportionment. Budget Schedule. Shelter—20 per cent. Food—30 per cent. Clothes—13 per cent. Insurance—10 per cent. Church and charities—10 per cent. Recreation—5 per cent. Miscellaneous (repairs, furniture, doctor’s bills, postage, books, etc.)—13 r cent. P (Copyright, 1928.) WHAT WE DO THOMSON, Ph. D. and emotions. The ugly habits you plotted against were asleep. You were ashamed of them. Very shortly the situation is reversed. Your sleep- ing desires come to life, pull them- selves together and get what they want. Perhaps it will not be out of place to point out the famous psychological recipe for keeping resolutions. Start out with as strong a resolve as you can. Burn the bridges behind you. Expect to keep your resolutions. Make no exceptions. Practice the new unit of your life as quickly after the re. solve as you can and as often as you can. Establish it as a trait. Put the resolution in the affirmative. Resolve to do something rather than not to do something. If it is an old habit you are trying to break up, don't give it a chance. Ignore it entirely. Fill your mind and time with other in- terests. Starve out the old habit. By all means do not fight it, do not even think ahout it. Let it severely alone. If you apply these suggestions with great fidelity you will prove the excep. tion to the rule that we make resolu- tions only to break them. (Copyright, 1927.) BRADY, M.

The spread was one of the popular candlewicking ones, with the les. Nancy pattern In white. The spread with pattern in green or blue or purple is effective, but almost too much so. It is sometimes startling. But all white is always in good taste.

C., Blames Men for Ohoosing Dpposite Types Why Wives and Mothers- indaw Are Antagonistic DorothyDix} Men Pick Out Wives Unlike Their Mothers and Expect Them to Turn Into Mother’s Under- study After Marriage! HE reason why s0 many mothersdn-law and daughtersinlaw fight like the traditional Kilkenny cats is that when the average young man gets married he picks out for a wife a girl who is his mother's direct antithesis. The unknown and the different allure us, ss 1t mother is a fat lndy he falls for a skinny flapper. If mother is a prosaic, practical woman with her two flat feet planted firmly on the solid ground, he*falls in love with a , poetic malden whose head is in the clouds. On the contrary, if mother is neurotic and temperamental, he picks out for a wife a bovine lady who has not a single thrill or yearn. And then, having brought together these two women who haven't a taste or a habit or a thought or an Interest or a desire in common, he thrusts them into each other’s arms and beams upon them, and expects them to love each other and get along together in peace and amity. Ot course, they don’t. Trrespective of the jealousy that the situation engenders between two women who love the same man and have equal, it different, claims upon him, there is the antagonism of opposites. No two women who look at every subject in life from diffcrent angles can ever really be friends, and so mother sighs and says John's wife is such a fine woman, but she wishes he had married that nice little Mary Smith that she had picked out for him and whom she could have lov a real daughter. And the daughter-in-law tries to be kind to John's mother and do her duty by her, and wishes that she were more like her own mother. But the queer thing about 1t all is that after a man goes deliberately out and selects a wife as unlike his mother as possible, he expects her to be just like mother. How he figures out that this miracle is to be worked, and this transformation nrr‘nmpllnhml. goodness only knows.
