III Is notorious and sorry fact that

does not save, you might say, because
she expects to get married some day.
II Il q subconscious and more or less

Of boldholders. And 1t isn't the money
that counts SO much. The fact that
they have learned 70 save and can
never unlearn their new talent Is the
biggest benefit.
Saving is absolutely only 4 matter
Of habit. n you cannot put by little
on twelve dollars a week you will
never be able 10 save on eighteen.
This Is to say. that if you do not learn
to save systematically IN spite Of any
OF your expenditures now, having

The Liberty Loans have made girls

employed by large concerns, IL has
been arranged TO have dollar week

By the time the third loan came the
