Brought face to face with expenses
which are appalling to all but fa'
purses, we are being told on all sides
that we must cut our coat tofit the
cloth we have. in other words, we
must meet conditions by retrench'
ment, which advice is distinctly un
palatable. But what else can we do?
Complaints do not mend matters
-
There Is no doubt that most OF
us have drifted far on the tide ol
extravaganza. We have better homes
than we can afford to maintain We
wear clothing whose cost, Is all ou'
OF proportion to our income We spend
much 100 layishly namnsements and
have cultivated a host OF expensive
little habits. Women have furnished
material for the cartoonist by theli
absurd methods of saving. and have
mred men to financial destruction BY
their desire to keep pace with neigh
bors or friends.
Living is high-that is an undis
putabe fact. Rent, fuel, food and
clothes are necessities. but they can
be shaved down If we choose. | grant
that the thought that somebody Is
piling up millions through our needs
is not a pleasant thought TO accom-
pany the pairing process, but we
need not dwell oyer-much upon IL.
we cannot pull down prices, so we
must 20 as near them as possible.
We might accommodate ourselves
to small homes, where there would
be a saving in both rent and fuel. We
can combine with our friends and
neighbors in purchasing common a.
licles at wholesale, and save more
money We can do the same on
some kinds Of clothing, and We can
get along without a lot of things,
which we now regard as necessities
We do not need so much candy
chewing gum is not necessity and,
every novelty that comes out is not
necessary 10 good grooming. We
spend, TOO much, on toilet goods, too
much, in coyidingo tasks which we are
fully able TO perform. We have ex-
pended beyond reasonable limits. and
the time has come 10 return 10 safety.
butcher gives as a reason for the

Later they will go to Jamaica, where
Mr.. Owen is stationed. Both Mr..

across the Atlantic, as Mr.. Bryan is
to attend the worlds missionary con-
ference at Edinburgh in June.
The marriage will be the culmina-
