'fFM so FOND OF MUSICw
That Explains What Maid Does With
an Advance of Wages.


ChicagO.-For a few days a young
north shore matron believed she had
solved the servant glll problem. Her
first girl found the country life too
slow and returned home black Of the
yards"
This experience afforded an inspira-
ton, and she imported a girl from her
former home at Galesburg. Kindly
treatment was to be the keynote of
success, so when she discovered the
new maid lacked underwear she armed
her with a dollar and shopping In
structions.
In thirty minutes the girl was back,
but minus the underwear. In its place
she had purchased a mouth organ
costing 40 cents, which she exhibited
proudly to her mistress with the re-
mark:

THE ART OF SAVING
The Elusive Dollar That Burns
Our Fingers.
LUXURY GROWS WITH SALARY

a
Income and No Apparent Increase of
Pleasures, Coin Still Takes on the
Vanishing Qualities of Mist.
1T is easy enough to make money!
said a business man the other day.
THE hard thing to learn is how to
save and how to spend it. The first
year was married was earning three
thousand, last year pulled down four
and this year 1 am getting, away with
five. As I've said, it's easy enough to
make mOney-any man with average
intelligence can do it-but how in tbe
world are you going to save it? I
don't seem to be getting any more
pleasure or comfort for the five thou-
sand than | did for three. L am Ger.
tain l don't put away any more than
/ did Oh the smaller salary, and the
question that stumps me is, Where
does the money go? There is certainly
a leak somewhere. The whole trouble
lies in the fact that l don't know how
to spend it.
This situation is one that many q
family faces. All may not be in cir
cumstances as comfortable as those of
the man mentioned above, but the sit
uation is practically the same.
Family thrift is almost an unknown
quantity in the average American
household. Our men are famous for
their generosity. and most of their
wives run their households on the
same generous scale. As the income
grows larger the demands on it grow
bigger, but SO gradually does this
change take place that it is almost i'm
perceptible. A luxury or two here, a
pleasure there. little things which seem
of no consequence at the time of their
indulgence, but mount up at an alarm
ing rate at the end of a year.
1t is quite true that a man might not
be able to put his hand on a single
tangible thing which he was enjoying
with a salary of $1,000 q year that he
did not have when his earning capac-
ity was little more than half this
amount. Extravaganza creeps upon
US so gradually that the inroads it
makes upon our incomes are hardly
noticed at the time. 1t is only when
we sit down and take account Of our
mode of existence that we realize we
are spending more and getting less for
the money.
Every sane man and woman wants
to save. They know it is their only in
surance against the future No matter
how well matters are going at the
present moment. every family stands
the chance of facing a rainy day, and
if they are wise they wish to be pre-
pared for that dreary occasion. Sick
ness or loss of position has nothing
like the dread for the man and wife
who have a comfortable savings &C
count tucked away in some bank as
it has for the poor individuals who
spend every cent as it comes in, drain
ing the family eXchequer to its last
cent at the end of each month. Sick
ness or loss of position to such per-
sons is disaster. sometimes even a
tragedy
Perhaps you think it is impossible
to save on the salary you are earning
at present. In many instances, unfor-
tunately, this is true. But, whatever
your income, sit down and make out a
family budget that shall provide for a
certain percentage of savings regu-
larly.
