WHY
IS
rT2

That some people are we'll to do, bet
ter to do, we'll off, rich and wealthy?
These are the expressions used to des-
ignate the financial condition. We
hear the answer every day, usually
from the classes that have the least
wealth. They call It luck. They
mean by that expression that people
who get ahead and have money and
property get it without much effort on
lAeir part but as the children say, it
Just comes. No doubt but in some
few instances fortune comes to some
people in that way, but If we could
know all the causes and reasons of
these few cases We might change our
minds, even as to them; but we make
our own luck. Examples. Two
famAlies having the same income, one
ts InospeEous and happy; the other
cannot make both ends meet. getting
poorer every year. Where does the
lnek come In. Is 1t luck to be econo-
mical thrifty, make your dollar go as
Ear as an intelligent buyer can by get
ting on a cash basis, and having some
money ahead, and when a bargain is
offered and you can save large per
cent, take It? Some one says my tub
Is bottom up when 1t rains. What
we are trying to teach is to be prepar-
ed for saving money and have your
tub right side up. But, housekeeper
says, how can get ahead when my
income won't now pay for my needs,
and l skimp and save to the utmost.
There is something wrong with
housekeeper; she doesn't buy right;
she buys on credit; she has a book
she sends that book much oftener than
value OF the goods she buys; she has
to help pay for all the bad debts and
losses OF the house she deals with, and
being show to pay herself, the house
puts up the price on all that goes on
the book; or, perhaps, she don't even
have a book, but the whole family
buys anything and everything they
want on credit; is 1t any wonder
housekeeper is getting behind?
