In many parts Of Europe villages are so
close together that II is perfectly feasible
to walk from place to place. It is only
two years ago when a (woman) college
professor. with a friend. visited village
after village on foot, carrying the indis-
pensable '1ittle-alls' In a suitcase, had a
pleasant trip and an economical one. There

Savings of the Business Girl.
The start may be a small one, only 80
cents a week. But It is a start. And
It is worth making. Perhaps the next
year a dollar a week can be put away.
And 30 in the course of time, though It
is slow, uphill work, $500 can be accu-
INFLATED. with this for a foundation a
girl can do something.
One girl when she had saved 5000 built
her own home. A small lot was secured
in a suburb, a building and loan associa-
ton put up the house and today the house
is hers almost clear. In a few years now
she will have paid for It entirely. The
monthly amount she paid the building
and loan association Is far less than she
would have paid as rent for such a
house. She has had the Joy of living in
her own home and fixing it as it suited
her fancy, and she now has a good In
Vestment.
Many a girl can do the same. Every
city is surrounded with pretty suburban
places. BY a careful study of them, Of
their train and trolley facilities, by a COM
parison OF valuations. she can find a de-
sirable lot at modest cost. A building
and loan association will furnish the major
part of the money for building the house.
This girl had but $500 in cash to pay on
the house. One should go carefully to
make sure Of a desirable location and
of a house that will either rent or sell
II the need comes, for one wants her
money invested where she can get an
adequate return for It.
Another business woman who had saved
a few hundred and wanted to get more
than the small per cent the bank paid
bought an inexpensive seashore lot and
put up a simple little house. She gets
her vacation there quite inexpensively and
most enjoyably. And so far she has al
ways been able to rent Il for two or three
months during the season at a profitable
rate. She takes jolly little weekend par
ties down in the spring and fall. and
altogether gets quite as much pleasure as
she does financial profit out of her VEN
ture.
To work for some special object puts
q lot more zest in ones work. To see
