WOMAN’S PAGE. Methods of Household Budgeting * BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. There are few persons who do not, of expenditures and to show how they follow some sort of budgeting, however simple. The intricate budgeting that business firms do, in which every cent | and fraction of a cent spent out and taken in is kept track of. may or may | not be valuable in homemaking. To THE ACCOUNTING CAN BE SIMPLIFIED. those who delight in figures and figur- ing, such detailed accounting presents no difficulties, and the satisfaction of k; where €.ery penny goes more than Tepays for the time spent in keep- ing such accounts. Those who find keeping accounts merely adds problems to their daily housekeeping can simplify such budget- ing by setting down lump sums, rather than trifling items. Make the sums in- clusive. For example, under food set down all eatables instead of itemizing meat, vegetables, butter, eggs, etc. It is this less arduous budgeting that has the most appeal for the average woman. Moreover it does not transform home- making into a matter of dollars and cents, but allows some leeway for esti- mat] the home as rom busi- ness. It is true housekeeping has its decided business side, but this side can- not and should not be so featured that nothing can be considered of sig- nlfl&lnce apart from how much it costs. There are, as has been shown, two types of household budgeting to suit temperaments of homemakers, but in each the income and outlay are kept track of sufficiently to supply a gauge Are Given Gay Colors Instantly ‘With Tintex!

It makes you feel more popular to get letters than what it does to write them Even if you ony get avvertisements at least you have the sattisfaction of see- ing your name on the envelope and knowing somebody wrote to you even if they wasent thinking of you. Some people are so proud they wont write to you unless you write to them ferst, being why their mail is mostly bills. The smallest correspodents is when 2 peeple feel that way about each other at the same time. The most exciting letter to get is & tellegram, especially if any of the nay- bors happen to be looking when the | messenger boy hands it to you after you admit your name is on it. The correck way to receeve a telle- gram is with a unintristed expression as if there wasent any hurry about opening it no matter how much of a hurr’y there might of been about send- ing it. Its easier to reply to a letter than what it is to write one ferst, on account and a postkript saying Now dont forget to anser all my questions, thus giving you a good start. but if you write ferst u_ haff to think of a lot of questions yourself to fill up the space. s is known as not knowing what to say.

C., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12 FEATUR The Woman Who Makes Good BY HELEN WOODWARD. Whose uniquely successful career, both in business and private life, enables her to speak with authority on problems of the modern woman. Next. Assistant Buyer. “Dear Miss Woodward: For about four years I floundered around at office work, and though it really did not in- terest me, I could always manage to get a position and prove satisfactory my employers. | My last position in an office was in charge of a file department at $25 a week. ‘A year and a i half ago I sudden- 1y became inter- ested in store work and decided that was the type of work I'd c;mnse for a career. I was melen Weodward. o5 enthusiastic over the idea I left my office position for a sales position in the basement of a department store at $14 a week. Of course, T just took this for the ex- perience. In a few months I switched over to another department store for $18 & week. I am still employed here at the same salary. I am a good sales person, and meanwhile have been tak- ing various merchandising courses at New York University. have also taken advantage of courses which the store gives from time to time. “While doing well in my present job, I am trying to prepare mysel for an assistant: buyer’s position and even- tually hope to buy. I have applied to the employment division at various SONNYSAYINGS BY FANNY Y. CORY. | How kin I get down to breakfas’ in time if ever'body kicks my shoes away | under the bed where I can't find ‘em? ‘ (Copyright, 1931.) You can times, to ask about my possibilities for advancement, and umul!y get the reply, ‘Work hard and wait,’ or words to that effect. I presume that every one in the store is working hard and waiting. As I said before, the wotx is very fascinating to me and I know there are possibilities in this fleld, if 1 only could get them. “I ‘am 22 years of age and went to business after graduating from gram- mar school. Have gone to high school at night and have taken various courses to improve myself. I am tall and make a good appearance. 1 wonder if you would please make some suggestions that might help me to hel?nmése;{," You are a bright and sensible girl. but you are too impatient. You have done well to get as far as you have in a year and a half, especially now, when times are bad anu so many girls are out of a job. The advice given you at the store is good. Wait and watch for your chance. When business picks up you are almost certain to be pro- moted. It does happen, only too often, that people in big jobs are hired from out side rather than from the establish- ment. Employes always think they're missing something. So when some one comes in from another firm they think she'll bring mysterious secrets with her. Usually that's all nonsense. If that happens to you and you don't get your promotion in the store you are now in, you will be in a position to leave and start higher up in some other | store. But, in any case, don't leave now. Keep on with your special courses and your chance will come. (Copyright, 1031) New Zealand has increased its income taxe Handwriting What It May Reveal. BY MILDRED MOCKABEE. HIS is evidently a friendly per- son as denoted by the decided slant of the writing. The users of “backhand” writing, how- ever, frequently tend to be criti- calof their acquaintances’ actions. They seem to fear a veiled insult in in remarks. This causes much unnecessary trouble for all concerned and should be guarded against. The pronounced lower loops usually indicate a practical rather than imagi- native type. This writer probably has the faculty of receiving full value for | any time or money expended. It would be almost impcssible to best her in her urchases. This ability in additi*n to er inherent good taste, would make her invaluable as a department store buyer. Though she might haye to start at the bottom and work up, her abili- ties should be quickly recognized. She should be particularly adapted to se- Jecting wemen's clothing, as she seems the type who can judge smartness of dress in herself or others easily. Apparently she has a flair for dra- matics.
