Economy or !?
By Ruth Cameron.

One of the most frequently misinter-
| preted words in the English language is
| one with which three-quarters of us have
| sad reason to be very familiar.
And that word is economy.
Economy means thrift. 1t doesn't mean
| parsimony; it doesn't mean meanness;
above al things, it doesn't mean a short
sighted and self-defeating policy of doing
without those things which can be most
easily dispensed with, regardless of con-
sequences.
A neighbor of mine has pretty hard
work to make both ends meet. She has
three young children in her household
and 1t is not possible for her to leave
home for an afternoon without having
some one to take her place. Once in a
while when the errands which she cannot
ask any one else to do have accumu-
lated, she hires a woman to stay with
the children and goes to town. She had
other evening when 1 went over to call
and found her stretched out on the couch
pale and evidently completely exhausted
Does 1t tire you so much to shop"
asked
ut isn't just the shopping" she said.
'but 1 walked all over town. l had an
errand and AS and one at RS (naming
two points over a mile aparD land walk
ing tires me So
why earth didn't you take a carp
I asked in wonder. 1 actually never
thought Of the economy CD motive 1t
seemed too absurd
Il thought it would be extravagant, E"
she said. Think Of it! She was paving
woman for the time she was using;
she knows that If she overdraws her
strength, as she often does, she will have
to pay woman to help her with the
work; and yet she spent lavishly of both
time and strength to save ) cents.
Economy, economy, what extrava-
gances are committed in thy name!
Another woman in our neighborhood
frequently boasts of the infinitestimal
sum on which she contrives to feed her
family. She is always criticising her
| neXt-door neighbours bountiful board as
being fearfully eXtravagant in view of
her husbands modest salary
Her neighbor on being acquainted with
these charges retorted, IF she will add
the doctors bills she is always paying
for those sickly, anemic, underfed chill
dren to her household bills l guess she
will find that it costs her just much
to live as it does me, If not more"
Her neighbor was right. Nor do the
doctors bills alone represent all the cost
of this wOman's economy. She must also
charge up against it the loss Of efficiency
which these children will probably suffer
later from their underfed childhood.
False economy is as common as pow
erty.
Real economy is as rare as brains.
False economy Is q thankless task
| Real economy 10 fine art.
Which do you practice?
