I know an old man who has a
standardized gift that he makes to
every bride who invites him to her
wedding. He invariably gives her a
little savings bank book that he has
opened for her with $50 deposited to
her credit. And as he hands it TO
her he makes her little speech that
runs something like this:
My dear" he says, ''in this little
book is written your future and your
husbands. You may not be able to
see IT In these blank pages but il is
there.
IF. in two years time, you have
saved up even so much as $500 you
will go on to fortune and success, a
happy and prosperous life and a po-
sition OF honor and respect in your
community.
II, it the end of two years. you
have only the 50 on deposit, you will
have qualified in the class of people
who never get anywhere, who never
have anything, who are always a lit
tie in debt and struggling to make
the ends meet. and in your old age
You will be dependent on your chill
dren. or people will be passing around
the nat for you.
Remember that the first two years
OF q young married couples life to-

your mind that you will save some
thing every week. even IL it is. only

bands purse instead of a pickpocket.
