Around the table sit his wife, Mrs.
Mrown; the village milliner. Mrs. An

Jordan, the carpenter; Mr.. Hamley,
the seed and lumber merchant.
Mr.. Brown took $40 out of his peck

with the remark that there was $40
toward the $40 he had promised her.
Mrs. Brown handed the bill to Mrs.
Andrews, the milliner. saying, THAT

But suppose that Mrs. Brown had
sent to a mail order house for a new
bonnet, then that $40 would have
gone out and never come back.
There is a moral, this: Spend your
money with home merchants, and pay
