for the things that make life
worth living. While he has an
eye on the future, he does not
forget that we live but once, and
are entitled to some of the good
things Of life as we GO along. Toc
many people live so much in an
ticipation Of the future that they
miss the joys of the present. Too
many dread the future and, in.
stead of preparing for it, worry
about it.
Satisfaction in life comes from
two sources: First a knowledge
that we have "a part in the
worlds work and are playing
that part well. Second, that we
are ready for tomorrow. In the
last analysis contentment both
for to-day and tomorrow is mere
" matter Of dollars and cents.
While money is not the chief end
and aim of man, it is essential to
the full enjoyment of life. A
certain bank clerk who had work.
ed in one institution twenty
years was summarily discharged
and at forty-five found himself
out of a job, a family TO support
and no money. He literally
went through hell before he
found other work at far less com
pensation, and all the joys he
had in spending his money were
overshadowed by the worry, tho
doubt and the readjustment pro
cess. It may be he could not
save, at least he did not, and ;
few hundred dollars in the banl
now would look like million t.
him. There are many in tht
same situation to whom the loss
of employment would be a ira
gedy, full of gruesome horrors.

THE BROADER THRIFT

When we speak of thrift, the
average man and woman immcdi~
ately jumps to the conclusion
that we mean merely the saving
of money, and having been un
able to save money, concludes
that the practice of thrift is an
impossible achievement.
We are apt to picture the man
of thrift as a "tightwad, SO care
full in money matters that it is
painful both to himself and those
about him; who counts every
penny with thoughtful care and
spends it with regret, denies
himself every rightful pleasure,
wears his clothes until they are
thrcadbare, eats the plainest Of
food, and deposits his money in
the savings bank with clocklike
regularity.
But that is a narrow thrift, and
it may not be thrift at all; for
the miser is by no means true
example of thrift, although he
may be a good example of saw,
