A PAYING INVESTMENT

In an interesting article in the Forum,
Alfred ii. Peters declares that leisure is a
paying investment There can be no sue
cessful contradiction of that statement.
When leisure is not laziness; when it is
rest and recuperation; getting out Of
the treaimill of the routine, it is a safe
and diyidend-paying investment. The alb
normal conditions of modern society, rs
they relate 20 activity, are at mortal en-
nifty to rest and refreshmeat Indeed.
such are the exactions of the day and age,
that the man who is not all the time busy
and moving at the highest rate of speed is
apt to be looked upon with suspicion. If
he has the courage 20 lay aside business
utterly, and leave behind him the shop for
a small fraction Of the season, the chances
are, il he is not a man Of wealth, that the
whisper of suspicion will be heard in sur
prise that he can even leave his business
for a week OF rest. When at last the
human machine wears out before its time,
the same voices murmur regrets that the
tireless worker should have been slave to
his SHOP"
We are sometimes tempted to believe
that as civilization has multiplied our OPP
portunities to enjoy life physically, it has
at the same time so multiplied our duties
and s. augmented the demands upon our
activity. that we are really poorer in the
rational pleasures of existence than were

A Sensible shopper.

The Philapelphia Inquirer makes some
sensible observations on the foolish, unde-
cisive feminine shoppers "What bless
ing to her family and to the community at
large is the clear-headed, sensible woman
who knows just what she wants and buys
accordingly, fights shy of the bargain
counter and auction-room does not con-
slider anything cheap that she does not
need, and scorns to struggle with hurly-
burly mob of people for the sake of secur-
ing an article for two cents less than the
regular price. To shop with discretion
and follow the beacon light of economy
is to avoid the shoals and sand-bars of ex-
travagance. Those who do not need to
count the cost of what they buy are in the
minority, and hence this matter of shop
ping should be so cultivated that it viii
become an art. Indeed it should be recog-
nized as part of girls education to shop
wisely and well. Even the most careful
of mothers give this all-important matter
but little thought. Music, art and the
languages are added to substantial Eng
fish education, with perhaps a few lessons
in English cookery thrown in, but where
is the teacher or parent to be found who
thinks it necessary to so train girl in the
art OF shopping that she will be brought
TO consider thrifty management not bore,
but most womanly accomplishment that,
once acquired, will bring with it delight
