We get along comfortably on our amount her parents can sensibly income, but cannot afford to be afford to spend on dressing her. extravagant. The problem is our he isn't 13-year-old daughter's attitude. In|that; and shouldn't be supported | our opinion, she has always been well dressed; yet her pressure upon us, for more clothes, is get- ting greater all the time. She tells us that all the "popu- lar" girls either have cute figures or are very well dressed. Some of them get three or four dresses at a time, costing eleven to four- teen dollars. There is much snob- | bishness here, something we never | experienced before: and the word | "popular" seems to have terrific meaning to the teen-ager. Isn't there something worth talk- ing about in life besides boys, clothes and being popular. WHAT'S WRONG Another problem, perhaps more crucial, is Janet's language to us when our comments displease her. {She uses such expressions as: "Shut », . .drop dead. . .stupid ooking idiot . . .you're so stupid it's pitiful," ete.

If you can afford it, send her to a quality school for girls, staffed by gentle- women teachers.

As for a clothes allowance, if by that you mean setting aside a fixed sum monthly for Janet's clothes, it is my opinion that such a system doesn't work out sat- isfactorily -- for either the par- ens or the child. Those who've tried it soon discover that a fin- inancial outlay that might seem \lavishly abundant at one season, or in one year, may not cover the necessities the following year. A clothes allowance sounds im- pressive to the uninitiated; but the average teen-age girl who em- barks upon it generally wearies |of the struggle to make ends meet and be well dressed; and eases back into a more comfortable re- |liance upon flexible parental buy- |ing power. Assuming the parents are reasonable and kind, as you aim to be.) | Janet's rudeness when dis- pleased with your comments is an interesting revelation of the vulgarity of her new idols now-| adays.

Women's Vote Could Topple Government OTTAWA (CP)--The increasing interest of women electors in the provincial field will bring a "happy change" of government in most of the provinces, Mrs. C. J. Embree of Halifax, president of the Na- tional Federation of Liberal Women, said Tuesday. The text of a speech was made available to the press. Mrs. Embree did not indicate to which provincial government, or governments; she referred. Addressing nearly 600 delegates Mrs. Embree noted grea'er oppor- tunities to serve the "cause of liberalism." No party in Canada could hold power without the women elector uoport, 'since we form nearly| Holt the electorate," she said. The appointment of women to high offices at home and abroad emphasized the appreciation of] both political and intellectual con- tributions. 3 As more women gain experience in the business world, "we shall be able to look forward to an in- creased representation in both houses of Parliament," Mrs. Em- bree said. 4 the favorite cable 'h.
