Eight from thirty leaves twenty-five.
Twenty-Five dollars are saved by this

Again, let us look in the tangle OF
domestic economy. A man viii some
times walk to save car fare. and then
purchase a quarter of q dollars worth
of cigars. He will also complain bitter
" of the dull times; but watch him en-
Joy the ballet in the orchestra. This is
bald-headed economy. People must en-
Joy themselves one way if they have TO

Again, Will an S0-cent shirt stand
rubbing on a washboard? Il might
But generally they are handled with
care ''Deal gently with the prize-pack-

by laundrymen. Steam and coax il TO

''but do not wrestle with it." A laund-
ress will not wrestle with cheap shirt.
Again, If a spring bonnet costs $3.50

Again, a young man writes to ask me
