Dogs Hoard Bones Because of
Instinct
And Women Are Money Savers for the Same Reason

It is unfortunate that most humorss who write about
women are taken seriously.
When they make jokes about wife's fondness for
spending her husbands money her personal adornmen
and hyng with his salary to the nearest department
store, the jokes pass into proverbs.
Many who have failed through their own lack of
business ability will pull long faces and tell you that they
were ruined by their wife's extravaganza
And you who have read jokes to that effect all your
life, likely to believe them, and to go home and dis
course solemny to your family about the dangerous and
foolish vanity of women.

ECONOMICAL THAN MEN.
Women who their own living school teachers shop
girls actresses mattresses dressmakers washerwomen live

lay that his great great great grandfather buried his His
instinct tells him that day he may need this store of
food.
And the woman of today, although she may have all
the money she wants for her present us upon instinct
and boards her pennies, just her grandmother did
That is why the savings banks have so many women
