SAVE MONEYS HOW COULD SHE WITH
SUCH A HUSBANDS


dear, really we must. There is the
summer vacation coming, and you
know you made me spend on silk
dress the money you had saved for it.
"Of course, I could have got along
without the dress, but you were so
insistent on my having it when I told
you had bought the material that I
couldn't resist.
1t panied me, beloved, to protest
when you said today that you wanted
to take days trip through the coun-
try, because it would have cost so
awfully much. Five dollars would
scarcely cover it.
That is why / wanted to come
down to Coney Island, so we could
get nice trip, see everything there
IS to be seen, and still not be under
aag great expense.
HDoesn't the sea air make one
hungry! We might as well have
little lunch now as any other time.
81 always liked this place. Let
me see, think I'll have clam chow
der-every one here eats clam chow
der-and half a broiled chicken, and
some trifing little salad. and Oh,
asparagus! 1 just love it.
"I'll have double portion of as
paragus, because Think it is better
than any spring medicine. And then,
let me see, yes, IL have strawber-
ry shortcake with ice cream on top,
and you can pour some hot melted
chocolate over the cream.
"It's really lovely, darling, but I
do not see why you will eat nothing
but hot roast beef sandwich and
glass of beer. Yet when you come
to think of it, a hot roast beef sand
wich should be enough for any one,
for, look at the amount of gravy you
get with it.
1.-The bill is $3.50? Why, how in
the world is that? How much was
that hot beef sandwich? Thirty-fve
cents? Ridiculous To charge that
amount of money for few little bits
of bread and meat. can't help it,
dear, I can't help it. 1 cannot see
your money taken away from you in
this way.
"Now, I ate nothing, and all you
had was hot roast beef sandwich
and yet they have the efrontery to
give you check for $3.50. l feel
like reporting the case to Mr.. McAdoo
and having the Island closed up.
st am so upset that 1 must go in
here and get glass of Fixo nerve
food to quiet me. 1t IS alfully re-
freshing. Just try one. No? Well,
then, we'll just walk over to the park
and see what there is.
"I could shoot the chutes all day.
We've been down eight times already,
and it has cost nearly Sc. I cannot
see how that can be. I'll bet they
short-changed you. I heard that a
man was once caught here doing it.
'We must have our picture taken.
There is nothing funnier than a tin
type.
"Gracious Hook like an old wo-
man of 60. Now, that was half a dol
lar wasted l cannot see the sense
in going into such places and getting
picture that does not look anything
like you.
"How many places there are And
we haven't been in half of them yet.
"I want to see the animals, because
it is educating to watch them. l
could sit here forever ; but as long as
we are over here we might just as well
get the benefit of our time, because
goodness knows when we will get a
chance again.
"Now, here is where we should
have gone in the first place. You get
a genuine Rhode Island shore dinner
for 81, and if we had done that we
would have been amply satisfied. ]
know I had little lunch, but I'm
hungry, and it isn't every day we &c
out, nor is it every day you get a
genuine Rhode Island shore dinner
for dollar.
"There's too much fish with it.
That is always the trouble with these
shore dinners. 1 Ialways much rather
have gone into some place and had
lust a little ice cream and cake. II
would have cost less and been more
satisfactory.
'sWe haven't had taste of ice
cream today, and I'm just dying for
some. Now, darling, please don't be
disagreeable. 1t will only cost few
cents, and we'll both enjoy it SO much
"The idea OF course, they don't
put moth balls in the ice cream
That is the new antiseptic havoring
and it is really nice when you grow
accustomed to it. It's awfully scien
tifc and it's awfully cheap.
80, dear, now we can go home
1t has been busy day, hasn't it, ant
suppose you are glad you came
But do you know, we didn't think tt
get any souvenirs !
| eve have one1 What is it? Tha
is only an empty pocketbook.
"But it is all you brought away
from the Island? Why, what die
you do with your money?
lido believe, Charlie, that no mat
ter how much money you had, O
where you went, you would spend /
all Here / have been planning tt
save, and came down here to cheal
place to do it, and ali my schemes arr
knocked on the head
Haven't you any change, dear
I should like. a box of chocolates.
Mr.. YEAsr-"And you say you
wife allows you one drawer in tn
bureau for your own use r.
Mr.. Crimsonbeak-"Yes onl,
one."
] "But how can you tell which on
is yoursl"
why, because there are fewer {
her things in my drawer than IN tn
