our ''mittens." And our 'mittens"-
that is, yours and Bill's-is in the little
yellow envelope that the cashier hands
out through the grated window every
Saturday. That little yellow envelope
is the basis of all that is material and
much that isn't material in our lives
and should therefore be treated with
profound respect. 1t is of the utmost

Maybe you've heard the politicians ana
other financial experts talking about
"elastic currency" Bill has. I'm sure.
Well, they don't mean exactly the same
thing as | do by it, but it's mighty cs-
sential that the cashier puts elastic
currency into the yellow envelope, and
it's lot more essential that you know
how to stretch all the little kinks and
cUrlycIcs out of it. That's the kind of
pull every man ought to have, and
If his wife catches hold with both

that's about all a good many men

judgment that it's wrong. The mauH
