The New York Sunday Times gives this advice
Economic wisely, but with careful thought and
study so to do it as to make it pinch least those
who are poorer. Don't buy anything you don't
really want, of course; but do buy as near the
same amount from small dealers as you have been
in the habit of doing There is not half the chart
ty in giving money to people out OF work as keep
ing people in work. and enable them to make
little for themselves. Also, if you must economic
gentlemen, and we admit you must, do it on luxu-
ries-as extra cigars private drinks, useless little
fopperies of dress, and such things, but give your
tailor, halter, bootmaker, &C., as fair Giving
show" as YOU desire Others to do to you In tight
times And you, ladies, retrench on the balls,
parties, jewelry and expensive pleasures, but re-
member that your dressmaker lives by her needle,
and have womanly sympathy for her and her Sis
ter industrias. In short, let everybody, whilst
they economic, as act of justice to themelres,
do it, if possible, so that it may be little as pos
sible an act of injustic to others Pay your debts
