Banks knew very well that he could
not afford to pay $40 for a pair Of
shooting boots, but he reasoned with
himself. after the sophistical manner
OF those who knew the Joys cf e1-
travagance, that his twice-a-year trip
to his Long Island club for two days
Of duck shooting was really the only
luxury he allowed himself; and his
economies in other directions deserY-

So Banks bought the boots, and
told his wife nice little story about

boots and had let him have pair

When Banks came back from his
next shooting trip he was tired and
sleepy, and threw his new boots, all
muddy as they were, into a closet, to
be cleaned when he should have more
energy.
"And what do you think happened
to those boots!" he said two days
later to . group of sympathetic
friends on change. "A funk peddler
came around the next day and my
wife sold him my $50 boots for fifty
cents. She knew they were Of no
special value. as had said 80, and
thought she'd done we'll to get fifty
cents for them"
