Of course some girls are silly
enough to feel that because they
cannot save dollars it is not worth
while to save at all. But this is
quite mistake "a penny saved
is penny earned" and any girl
acting on that principle will be
astonished at the dollars in heI
possession after a while. So lei
those who have hitherto not oon
sidered the subject of saving be
advised, and start at once. Don't
excuse yourself by saying you can
not spare even penny, because
where there's a will there's a
way" and by denying yourself
sweets or some little frippery in
the way of ribbons or laces, or,
better still by saving the car fare
and beneftting your health by
walking, you will find you can
easily spare more than a penny in
the week. Then in time you will
come to- look upon the pennies
saved as part and parcel of your
monetary outlay, and they will ap-
pear as important at the weekend
as rent, food or clothing.
