Yes, 1 can tell you all about IT,
said the modified young married wom-
an. Jack says / am the best manager
he ever saw-best at spending and
best at saving. Il sounds paradoxical,
doesn't itf Now ! am going TO con
fide our secret 60 you. though Jack
says. Let's not let the world know.
So you mustn't tell any one"
You can rely on me-" said the en-
gagged girl. That is, Of course. I'll
tell Harry"
First, let me advise you TO learn to
manage your husband" counseled the
young married woman, sagely. This
part, OF course. you mustn't tell Har-
~. Let all important suggestions
come from him. If you need a new
hat tell him he looks so nice that you
hope he won't be ashamed to go out
with you in your old hat-that you
Just can't AFFORD a new one-and see
what win happen. Second. don't econ
OmiSe-'
But wen have TO-" said the en-
gagged girl. I'VE must be very care
ful the first year"
'Bewarel That will be . precedent
he'll always expect you TO live up to.
Don't do It. You can save money
another way-our way. The usual
trouble with bride is that she makes
the grocery bill so small at first her
husband thinks II is economy to be
married and so he allows himself
more cigars than ever.
'As for clothesl Women make over
their trousseaus until a man thinks
dresses and hats grow on trees. No
my dear. that isn't the way II is
much easier to get money when you
are first married than It will be later.
l know mamma always had to wait
until winter for her summer clothes
and then II would be warm weather
before she got her winter outfit"
Il can do my own sewing and I am
learning to make bread"
STUFF and nonsensei Not that
don't believe in learning TO cook
Jack encouraged my going to a do
mestic science school as soon as we
began to keep house. Mammals ex-
perience was so different. They didn't
have the domestic science schools in
her day and she said she cried every
meal the first year she was married.
Papa's mother was a splendid cook
and for a long time mamma just
couldn't get the knack. But. as ! was
telling you, learned to make rarebits
salad dressing and wine sauces first
OF course, Jack asked why they didn't
teach us to make bread and to roast
meat; but what is the use Of learning
to make those common things when
one can always buy them? At first
I did try, but soon l just took to buy
ing everything except my soufies-"
But the expense?"
Jack doesn't mind n they do cost
trife more lie says he thanks his
stars there are plenty Of delicatesser
stores. Anyway. we are saving Sc
much money that the extra cost oi
food doesn't worry us.
Jack is SO good about giving ms
all he earns-every cent. save it al
and buy what I want on credit. Jacl
didn't know at first that had th'
money put away in an old trunk.
when the bills began to come II
thick and fast he laughed-that is, a
first; then he scolded and I-cried
That made him feel so like a brut,
that he said could charge anything
] wanted to. though goodness know
how he could pay the bills, Then
told him was saving his money"
Il don't think Harry would want mi
to charge things" said the engaged
girl. doubtfully.
when I explained II TO Jack h
thought me a perfect wonder. Civ,
me the cash for the grocer said he
and I'll give you q nice new banl
check for the amount and you ma.
keep It AZ long as you want to-th'
longer the better
Il told him I would keep all tn,
checks he gave me until we had beel
married % years. He was so pleased
Now he writes me extra big check
every month and takes the cash Il
pay the bills. keep the check
safely.
$50 we have everything we wan
and save a lot. too. It isn't necessar.
TO economiEe-that Is, IL Harry is hal
as generous with his bank checks a
Jack is"
