Tne DOLLAR We Don't spend.


We have to calculate pretty close at our
house, you know and the whole family
are called into council when any impor-
tant expenditure is to be made. Wen,
the other evening we were considering
the small remnant Of the quarters salary,
and Mrs. Dobbs was trying to reckon how
it could be made to cover everything.
There was her new dress, and anew coat
for me, and o new carpet for the best par
lor, and new hat for our lat present. un-
married daughter, besides great many
other things, with which / will not occupy
your valuable space. The main peint was
the new dress, and Mrs. Dobbs was think
ing of this shade, and scrutinizing that pat
tern, wishing she could buy them all,
doubling if she could buy any OF them !;
and our faces grew longer as the salary
shorter. Presently, with one of my hap
py inspirations, l said to her:
''Mrs. Dobbs, there is no dollar that
does you so much good as the one you
don't spend.' !,
She looked at me little perplexed, and
presently she said, "Why, doctor, | don't
understand you"
So / said, ssThe handsomest dress is the
one you don't buy"
"Oh, yes, that's true. The best dress l
ever had was the silk that Mrs. Largehead
gave me when she came from Philadelphia.
She bought it at Homer & Colloday's; it
couldn't have cost less than"
"Mrs. Dobbs," said /, interrupting her,
"the handsomest and every way the best
dress is the one you don't have"
She was more puzzled than ever, and
was forced to explain.
"Mrs. Dobbs," said /, "all the dresses
you ever bought have worn out, haven't

they do not ell the whole demand of lifes bill

the perpetual indulgence of long faces, else
