We often hear people complain Of the hard
times, and Justly for the times Gse hard.
Nevertheless We often think that great dsal
of the complaint is caused by their own OK
trsasgancs in small things sIsf asa
Lat us take the useless and hurtful expen-
SOS Of an average young man, and we shall be
SURPRISED to see that they amount to very
large sunl ...s..,-s
Take his clothes, to begin with First, his
hat stands him more than it need cost; in
order to buy 5elteeses, or a "really fine art-
cle's of some more common shape, he spends
one Or two dollars more than would have
bought one equally serviceable, though per-
haps not so striking in its appearance. More
ever ia very many instances he might have
saved the expense Of p new hat altogether, by
getting last years hat revamped and made
Is good a. new by spending fifty cents. e''
Second, his new coat is of fine cloth. when
eoarser kind would have looked really as
we'll This causes an extra expense Of say
ave dollars only to which We must add the
needless addition to the cost of the vest and
pants from the same cause, of say five dollars
more.
Then his boots must be of the best patent
leather at a ninimum of about fifteen dollars
three pair of these a year come then to
only forty-fys dollars. By buying three
pair OF good shoes at five dollars u pair, and
having them half soled ct two dollars and a
half, be could be equally well shod at half the
price. 'e see.a e. 81 - 9
Our average young man could thus save on
his hats, one suit of clothes, and three pair of
boots, say, thirty-five dollars. But then he
has to buy several suits for winter and sum-
mer daily wear-say three at least on each
of which be would save by economy in the
selection Of the stuff, aud by msnding, about
ten dollars, in all thirty dollars. Adding this
useless cost to that oil the other clothes and
we figure up sum of sixty-fve dollars
which might have been saved on dress alone
