EVENING CHAT
Wise Spending a Fine Art.
BY RUTH CAMERON.

Most people think that earning money is
a great deal harder than spending it.
And of course it is if the spending is
done in a hapha zard manner.
But to spend wisely and WELL to know
what and when to buy, and above all to
know what and when not to buy is a very
difficult thing.
A great many people in these days of
careless spending seem to be obsessed by
passion for buying, not because they
reallV want or need the article purchased
but because they enjoy the act of buying.
A friend of mine who has been doing
her fall housekeeping showed me a basket
OF things she was about to dispose of.
Some Of the things We're useful or beauti-
full articles which had seen their days of
service and We're receiving an honora BILE
discharge But many others were foolish
little things which had been bought not
for any purpose of ornament or utility
but just the pleasure of buying There
We're several felt pennants which had been
purchased at county fairs; there were a
couple of cheap paper candle, shades
which had looked we'll in the shop. but
had seemed so tawdry when she got them
home, that they had been hastily discard :
ed: there We're half dozen souvenirs of
various kinds. possessing all the ugli-
ness and futility of the average souvenir .
know what on earth 1 bought those for
she commented. They are pretty enoug n
but l had more than 1 could use before. a
woman brought them round to the door
one day and they seemed so cheap that
bought several
How many things that We do not need
or want are bought for just that reason,
because they seem cheap and we are
eXhilarated by the sense of getting bar
gain
AS matter of fact. We are not getting
a bargain ALL for the best value in the
world is not bargain when it is some
thing YOU do not need or want.
My friends collection of articles to be
disposed of is typical. Most of could
make a similar collection in own gar
ret which means that most of us are
sometimes foolish enough to buy just for
the pleasure of buying.
A friend of mine: after WANDERING rest
leSsly about examining every thing. fin
ally purchased half dozen post cards In
little country drug store where we
waited for the trolley on vacation trip.
For whom are those?" we ventured to
ask She had already sent cards to all
her friends and relatives They're not
for anybody. she answered I just
thought I'd buy a few because they're so
pretty"
Later I saw those same cards cluttering
up her writing desk Evidently they Will
find their way into the garnet. and from
there into a collection of articles to be
disposed of.
1T isn't the big things that eat up the
money" some one has said, its this,
that and the other"
To earn money is hard enough. to spend
and refrain from spending intelligently, is
even harder.
