HOW SAVING MADE
A PRIMA DONNA
Eliz Gergely Tells How She Won
X - Success X X
Success
By ELEANOR AMES.

and the habit of saving Is one that
once formed seldom leaves.
Nearly every girl has some foolish
extravaganza which she could turn
into an economy with lasting advan-
tare to herself. l began saving by
taking inventory OF my cXtrava-
uances; by finding out where he
LITTLE leaks were which made my
Income scarcely cover the outSo.

taking advantage OF the street cars

dozen blocks to go. 1t was neither

pocketbook. | began to walk. In
the hrst week l saved % cents in
carfares alone.
That sum saved for a year would
give nearly so in the bank. Think
of IL. oh, the times beyond count
when fifty unmortgaged dollars
would have made me feel like mil

I felt fer the exercise of walking.

sweets. More than a dollar ampu-
on the bankroll.
The veIy first thing to do when
you have saved your first dollar Is
TO start a bank account. Once get
a really. truly handbook in your
possession. and SEQ your name in
black and white. and realize that
YOU are a person of financial i'm
pOrtance. and you have the saving
habit well rooted.
One of the easiest rules I , remem-
Der. when you start saving, is TO
get stinSy with yourself. Eat as
we'll as is necessary and dress as
beComingly as your business and
social position demands. But don't
think you musit patronize the same
restaurants that the wives and
daughters of milliOnaires do, or that
you must have every dress novelty
that catches your eye. even II you
happen TO have the price in your
purse.
once get your system inoculated
with the saving germ and economies
will suggest themselves. And. just
n little surplus money Will give you
a tremendous belief In yourself.
which will make 1t possible for you
to go ahead and work harder for
success
1T is not considered smart in any
sense OF the word to be wasteful.
THE spendthrift is no longer ad-
mirod. Thrift is the order Of the
day.
Il would say that any girl who Is
not making money enough so she
can live decently and have a chance
to save a little has the right to COM
plain that she is underpaid. The
living wage. of which so much Is
said. should he amended 10 mean

VERY girl who earns enough
L. money to live. earns enough
IL TO save.
Saving money is more than
a financial habit, IL is n psychology
cal problem. II is an attitude OF
mind. 1t is Il beautifully practical
example OF will power. And II leads
to that state of comparative indie
pendence which is the rightfJl am
bition of all persons TO achieve.
At least. this is the opinion OF Miss
Eliz GerEely, who is primn donna
today, with all the emolumentR that
the top of the scale orings 10 singers.
Simply because she learned how 20
live when she was merely one of
the chorus. and schoOled herself TO
go without luxuries, Miss Gergcly
did not find it a hardship TO save
money to study and advance in her
art.
OF course, ii would have be.n far
easier TO have forgotten all about to-
morrow and the possibilities OF maxi
ing IL infinitely better han today.
but Miss Gergely has long vision.
She decided to look ahead far enough
to make the picture of the future so
alluring that she would not mind
the pinching and scrimping she un-
derwent TO make II reality.
Saving cents a day Is better
than spending ones last nickel"
mcnt. where she prefers to live be-
cause she can get more for the
money and live more like folks. No
matter how small the savin;; At the
beginning. it will form the habit.

Laughter Is associated with growth
and avoirdupois. It Is synonymous with
vitality. vigor. and strength. Each tiny
snigger. litter. g4ggie. cackle. chuckle.
smile. grin. chirp. bark. exultation, and
rollick has a health value.
Their physiological victories are no
less renowned than roars, sde-splittins
outlaws, paeans of jubilation. and the
widest revels of slap-stick comedy. To
tone UP a few little muscles of the
mouth and lips, to exercise the skill of
the eyelids. eyebrows. cheeks, and chin
is as important as to move the stomach
walls in waves.
To thus rejoice aloud Is much the
same as to give food to the muscles and
music to the ear. Indeed. laughter Is a
form of music. an Orpheus' lutte strung
with feshy sinews. It's golden touch
moves steel and stones, makes tigers
tame and huge Ceviathars forsaks un-
sounded deeps to dance on sands.
Relentless Rudolf. Raffies, and the
other familiar villains of the comic
sheet, of song and story. are known to
their Observers by a harsh. cruel laugh.
This type Of laughter is an index both
to the thought Of such constituencies
fellows as to their material supremacy.
Beauty, too. is the growth as well as
the inspiration Of laughter. The smile
that Is child-like and bland is one OF
the sweetest decorations Of . young
ster's features. As age creeps upon
you, laughter II apt to grow less. Thus
enters Mr. Wrinkle and Mr.. Crowfoot
Laughter. then. Is a great outlet for
muscular activity since the mind Is
kept fresh by what 1t learns through
the muscles. each smile and laughter
extends the breadth and wisdom within
In this way cheerfulness becomes q
tonic to the mental makeup. Like a
candle which shines in the dark, or a
good deed in naughty world, so
laughter becomes contagious and
spreads It's radiance all around.

A White An@0rd Beach Coat
for Chilly Days
Warm Wraps for Summer In
sures Health During Cold,
Damp Days.
Angora Cloth, and Similar Ma
teriaIs, for Making Beach
Coats, to Be Had Here. j

\ T every seaside and
n mountain resort there
are many Of those
cold, ram, chilly days which
call for a heavy wrap of some
sor. Last year, nackinaws
and steamer cods of indis-
criminate size and shape we're
worn, but this summer has
brought forth the angora cloth
coat.
This material is parm as
WOOL, but soft as dopn and pery
light. The only decorations
are the green bands on the
collar, cuffs, and hem, the
white fringe, and the white
oval bone buttons.
The touch Of fringe on hem
and collar is reminiscent of
the steamer rug, for such the
coat is in the piece, only In
fnitely lighter in weight.
Huge patch pockets on
either side provide a warm
place for the hands. The
smart, loose cut in the back,
the bolero front, and the LON
shoulder line all make allow-
auce for the berufed summer
costume over which the beach
coat is apt to be thrown.
Half the comfort in the
summer vacation lies in the
choice of appropriate clothing.
The Woman who foolishly goes
away without at least one
warm and enpeloping wrap
courts sickness. Nothing cleans
better, is more tasteful, or has
more uses than this beach
coat model.
Angora cloth, or material
very much like it can be ob-
tanned at the department
stores in this city. The pattern
chosen should resemble this
one as nearly as possible, op-
ing to the excessive fullness.
