reason that man goes big game hunt
ing-for the excitement of the chase.
Both probably get the worth Of their
money in the fun they have, but
neither one Of them are money saving
amusements.
Now thrift IL one Of the most ad-
mirable qualities that any woman can
possess, and no one would throw a
wet blanket over the enthusiasm of
those ladies Who are attempting to
practice 1t. 1t Is a wholesome exper-
fence in every way. It may possibly
save something for the government,
and 1t most certainly will be a valu-
able object lesson to the women CIV
ing them line on how much they
spend on unnecessary things.
But while all the prophets on the
watch towers are calling out to them
to savei save! save! I should like to
call their attention to the Importance
Of saving themselves at the same
time they save their bread crusts and
potato parings.
There is no real economy in spend
ing 500 to save IS, and yet that's ex-
actly the sort Of financiering that a
lot of women are doing. Not Ions
ago I went to see a woman who was
convalescing from a physical break
down that had necessitated the expen-
diture Of a young fortune in doctor's
bills, trained nurses, medicines and a
sanitarium.
But the woman was perfectly jubi-
liant in the possession of an approving
conscience because she had saved SIS
in repainting an old set Of furnitm e
and cleaning out an attic, instead of
hiring a painter and a charwoman to
do the work for her, for which she
had neither the skill nor the bodily
strength.
Therefore. ladies, entreat you
when you undertake to save to try to
arrive at a definite idea Of when
economy IL economy and when 1t is
extravaganza. Figure in your time
and the cost of a spell of nervous
prostration, and the general wear and
tear Of your temper and disposition,
and see IL the thing you are propos-
ing to do Is really worth while and
whether you can afford 1t in war
times.

Last Call for Shopping

II you've needed the admonitions
OF the various merchants associa-
tions and the pathetic pleas of the
department stores, you're all through

now deyoting your time to wrapping
your gifts properly in white tissue
and gay red and green ribbons with
Red Cross seals on every corner.
But there are rumors abroad that
all of Us are not in the above happy
class OF humanity. It Is even said
that some individuals have the major
part oftheir gifts yet to buy. Well,
the, only thing to do is to get out
and make up for wasted time. Per-
haps these suggestions will help.
We will assume that no one has
been careless enough to put OF buy
