With her hundred dollars tucked
away In q safe place Jane sat down
with pencil and paper to enamerass
and dilste upon It's purchasing power.
There were 20 many things that shs

layman's eye would reveal It's costls'
ness. She must spread the money
around here and there In compare

hated X and never wanted to see a

were six dollars. but she would have
them, anyway. Bob wouldn't know
whether they cost six Ct two. They
were Just what she wanted, too. She
hated high shoes. although for Staten
