SAVING FOR YOUNG
HUSBAND AND WIFE
Habits of Thrift Will Smooth
Path of the Newly Mar
ried Couple.
SAVE WITH MODERATION.
MENT, SAYS BERTHA RICH. YET
SET ASIDE A CERTAIN SUM
REGULARLY.

The excitement of the wedding is
over-the new home has been selected
and furnished and the newly made
husband and wife draw a long breath
of satisfaction and relief that at last
they are settled They look around
the coy home and their hearts swell
with pride that it is all their-their
very own. Surely they can want
nothing more to make them perfectly
happy They have each other. they
have their home and comforta BILE
salary to maintain it; they have their
friends-what more could mortal wish
for There is. however, one other
thing that they do need. or the time
will surely come when this happy FAM
lily in their comfortable home will not
be able to weather the storms of life.
When we are happy we do not like
to look ahead for trouble. nor do we
need TO do SO. That would mar our
happiness. All that is necessary is
to take the history of every man or
woman that ever lived and it will
show that life is made up of both
storm and sunshine. The storm does
not bother us much, however, if we
are safely housed and warm, and there
is nothing that can secure us from the
storms of life like a bank account
True love will stand the test of
many troubles, but if the time comes
when illness or financial disaster cuts
off the income, then a bank account
however small, is the rudder that
guides love through the storm.
Young husband, young wife, get out
pencil and paper, and figure up the ex-
act amount of your weekly or month
ly income, then first of all set aside d
certain sum to be saved every month.
and live on the balance. Get in the
habit of feeling that, this amount must
be saved; regard it as taxes, for you
know that taxes must be paid, or the
will be lost. Just so it IS /
with your saving. If you do not save
the time will come when your home
will go to pay doctors bills to tide
over the financial strait. or for one of
he many difficulties that come to all |
people at the same time during their
De exempt from trouble 1t is not in |
accordance with the great plan of the
Universe that any one should have all |
sunshine. If, however, you have a |
bank account, you can meet the trou- |
Die bravely and try again with renew
I'd vigor.
Why not start the new life in "dou- |
Die harness on a practical business
ike basis. Young man, be frank with |
Tour wife; tell her exactly how much |
Tour salary is and ask her to help you |
save a certain sum each month, so |
hat when old age comes, you may sit |
ogether and rest in comfort after |
7our many years of labor You will |
ind her eager to help you and soon |
you will both have the saving habit |
Give her her own savings account and
ZACH day she will find new ways To /
ave and will take pride in showing |
-ou at the end of the month how her
ccount has grown.
| do not mean to advise doing with
ut pleasures simply to accumulate
money. My motto is DO all things
n moderation Enjoy yourselves as
ou go through life. but keep a con-
tant eye on the inevitable old age,
Which none of us can escape and see
hat you save enough to insure COM
ort and ease for that time
Don't put off starting your saw
ngs account. do it at once and by
ext year this time. you will have an
ccount to be proud of.
BERTHA A. RICH.
