Paris, June 20-Simon w. Strauss
of Chicago the president of the Amer
lean Society of Thrift, has just fin
ished several months of inquiry on
| the continent into the origins of econ

81 should say that French family
can live off what an American fam

principal reason, of course, is in a
habit of mind, in way of looking
upon the relative values of efficient
living as compared with inefficient and
wasteful living. One may be as eX-
| travagant with dollar as with mil
lion.
"Now, the self-denial of the French
in food and in other necessities of
| living often is, carried into what |
should consider excess, but there is
nevertheless thoughtful, intelligent
thrift in the French household which
contributes to the happiness and well
being of every member. 1t is that sort
Of thrift which | should like to see
cultivated in American families-a
careful adjustment, according to
ihought-out plan of the domestic bud
get, so much for rent, food, clothing
education. the dowry of the daughter,
the amusements of every member of
the family, the provision for emergen-
oies and old age.
"When a scheme of expenditure is
adoptcd in the French homeland ey-
cry French home, it is said, is a par
iament-and carried out, every item
of expenditure can be made with a
certain contentment or even joy be-
cause it is known to he a harmonious
relation with the whole. This makes
French amusements so thoroughly en-
loved because there is no feeling of
| extravaganza on the part of those
amusing themselves They take their
amusements, and what might be to
ihc observer indulgences, happily and
without inward sense Of discomfort
and wrong doing because these eX-
penses fit into the rational scale of
living which has been wrought out
earnestly and nationally.
"The French people are wonderful
hoaders. They seem to keep their saw
ings hidden at home more than on

credit institutions is usually taken up
without affecting to any great extent

sons evidently of the lower middle and
lower classes will often stay all night
in front of the office of issue in line
for an early opportunity TO buy a 500

curj,ies change their point of view,
they look upon life differently upon
social institutions differently when
they have even a small interest in
