They Buy More with a
Little Money Than a Great Deal.

Some one said the other day that Il
man did not know how to save money
as does a woman, and that is so. or
course. we mean when woman sets out
to save: if she thinks there Is no need Of
economy and wants to, no one can make
money fly like a woman. But men and
women save in such different ways.
Watch woman at a restaurant if she
is alone. and you will find that she rarely
treats herself to anything more than Il
plate of soup and a roll, while man,
even il he does not want to spend much.
will generally order good luncheon.
Men will sometimes save dollars and even
~ cents, but women save quarters, dimes.
nickcls and pennies. Temperament has
much to do with saving and there is all
the difference i'll the world why one saves.
II it i done because one has not means
or for some good purpose is accommodating.
it is to be commended and emulated. But
there are persons who are naturally miser-
" and mean and they save because it is
second nature.
Sometimes woman will start out with
$50 to do some shopping and will come
home with just dollar and half left !;
it will seem to her as il she had very lit
tie to show for her eighteen fifty. So tho
next day she viii go again and get more
for that dollar and a MALT than she pur-
chased the day before for eighteen.
Such is feminine genius They seem to
be able to do the most wonderful things
with a little money. The reason is that
women will take the trouble TO shop. To
"shop'' is 10 20 about from one place u
another compare prices, and get the ar
ticle for a little less than was asked for

to the best place. asks the price, pays it
if he has the money. aud if he has it not,
goes without the article. There are w0m-

The Interfering Husband.

about the husband who goes beyond his

him but too we'll; he may be called THE
Interfering Husband" the one who will
poke his nose into household and do
mestic matters which in no way concern
Linn.

cyclopaedia on all matters connected
with housework; he thinks nothing of
lnstructing his wife as to how she should

however; he hunts ont his wife and in
