MAKING THE REAL
HOME

Some one has called the real
home a happy combination Of
conditions 1t is just that. No
one thing alone makes a home,
but various elements happily
combined
Naturally factor in the COM
bination is money. It is not so
much the possession OF money
or the lack Of it that counts as
the way in which it is used.
Generally speaking, men are
the money getters, and women
are the money spenders. This
system puts a great responsible
ity on the women. The woman
is. in the final analysis, the
home maker and if her home is
to be a real one she must spend
the family income wisely, be it
great or small.
There is no surer way for
her to make each dollar bring
its full value Of comfort and
good cheer than BY keeping
herself informed as to what is
IN the market, where it is to
be had, and at what price; BY
reading each day the adver-
tisements in The Optic and
other good newspapers.
