and savings. 10 per cent; amuscments

The idea of the economist who drew
I'D this scheme IS that we should all OF
rs compare our present household ex-
penses with these percentages and alter
then: accordingly, looping of from our
clothing item to bring up the amount of
Insurance and savings. or cutting down
our amusements TO provide a greater
fund for food. We should even move
from our present house or apartment If
our rent there exceeded 16 % per cent of
the total income.
What do you think of this scheme?
Does Il seem to you as if it made enough
allowance for differences in individ-
uslity? Just because your stay -at-home

4 BIRTHDAY
AND Yours
June l2-Harriet Marineau.

When Harriet Martineau's brother read
her first story he advised her to give up
darning stockings and to take up liter
allure for a vocation; and, needless to
say, the clever sister followed his good
advice.
She was born tune u, 1902. in Norwich.
England, the daughter of a manufac-
turer of camlet and bombSzine. and be-
cause Of early family reverses all the
children were urged to learn to be self
supporting.
Harriet was the youngest member of
the family and a sickly child. and be-
cause Of bad health and the boisterous
teasing OF her older brothers and sisters
she was kept in a state of gloomy jeal-
ousy and morbid fear. But she early
gave signs of the remarkable literary
ability with which she was endowed.
and when still child memorized a large
part of Milton's Paradise Lost" She
learned Latin from one of the her broth
ers and music from a local organist, and
when s., was II years old she was sent
away to school with one OF her sisters.
As time went on she showed more mark
ed signs of the malady from which she
suffered throughout her life and soon
lost all power to taste or to smell and
became increasingly deaf every year.
When Harriet was q she was about to
be married. when through some misun-
Outstanding the wedding was postponed,
and then the unfortunate lover became
hopelessly insane. But apparently Har-
riet never loved again. for she never
married. in spite Of many friends and
admirers. About this time. needing her
brothers advice, she turned her atten.
ton to writing. but for many years had
to manage to live on the equivalent Of
but $50 a year. Later when she was
better known she succeeded better. but
always at the expense Of her health.
