Said lady, not very long ago: eyes,
indeed, if there is one thing which I
reallyrdo understand, it is economy.
Why, my husband here will tell you
how admirably I managed to get along
with only $3.50 a month to live on,
while I was out in - (naming very
small town in the far Vest, while he
was away prospecting. I knew I was
limited to that amount, and I made it
do?" The lady had no children, and in
the little way station she mentioned, So
ciety could not have been very exacting
in the way of dress and entertainment,
and it is scarcely surprising to know
that she made it do" but she dwelt
eloquently upon the fact of her econ
omies con this paltry $37 and some odd
cents week, you know" telling how
she converted barrels into "lovely
chairs" and boxes into tables, etc., ETC.,
as II never could have done, you know,
but that there really was no society
there, and I had only my servant and
myself to provide for, but I did
splendidly with what I had, John, didn't
II" and ~John" assented with great cor
diaIty to this, adding that che did not
believe any one could have gotten along
In that way save Carrie, here" He ev-
identity had not yet read the letters of
Jane Welsh Carlyle, which shows how
abe "got along on 81 week, cheer
fully and brightly. too, dispensing cor
dial hospitality to friends, with always
tidbit for her rather-exacting Gege
lord, and always morsel for her little
dog, keeping herself evenly up to her
social duties, and entertaining at her
board the very best and foremost minds
of that country and of others-her
household expenses for month not
equaling those of our little Western
economist for a week. So, we find
those who can dress on tens better than
others who spend thousands; mistresses
and masters who will get more work
out Of their assistants than others who
not only pay higher wages, but wear
themselves out in helping their help
and, finally, those who get more out of
their own existence, more sweetness,
more favor, more actual accomplish
ment for themselves and for others,
though with perhaps far less Smoneyed
means" than any of their acquaint-
snces, being at the same time more
smiling and cheerful, moro light
hearted, more given to the sunny side
OF things than hundreds of others to
whom smiles and cheeriness seem to be-
long as by right. Is there knack
about it? Is it gift? Is it secret,
belonging to the few, which no money
can buy and which no amount of study
can perfect one in? It seems to be q
oestain grasp of life which is not in the
power of ala quick comprehension of
the much that can be done with little
an insight into the abilities of others,
an intimate knowledge of the true value
Of such things as time and money, and
human capacity, which lend to the pos
SCISSOR of sucb. knowledge rare individual
qualities which the world dubs talents,
or sets down as genuine genius.
