WHEN 1T PAYS TO WORK.

fit never paid before to do work of any
kind, il certainly does pay now. 30 for
the woman who has time on her hands,
there is a big opportunity for really saving
money. right in her own home. Anything
that she is able to do, she can do with
the consciousness that she is saving
really an appreciable amount of money
IN doing 1t.
Not long ago a woman with deft fingers
took bead bag she had knitted into a
department store. 1t was an easily made
bag. The beads, cut steel ones, were
strung on a spool of dark gray silk, and
then the bag was knitted in a loose and
verv effective stitch She took the bag
10 the counter where bag tops are sold
to get a top. As she was looking at the
tops, the head of the department stepped
I'D to her and asked her whether she would
make bags like the one she held for sale.
She wouldn't and said so, but not until
she had received an offer of thirty-five
dollars for the little bag she had made
in 2 couple of days time.
All sorts OF labor cost 50 much nova
davs that il is worth while doing any
hing. If YOU can paint the porch chairs
u mend the awning, do the ironing or
embToider a bureau cover, you are
really saving so much money that the
work is well worth while, not only be-
cause il is pleasant TO do and because
yod like to have the results, but because
It's equivalent would have cost so much
II is an interesting fact that now, when
woman finds herself occupied in so many
lelds outside the home, she should also
6nd her time more valuable in the home
Than il ever has been before.

Freds mother WAS going to have an
auction, and this was a great source OF
sorrow TO the boy. The auction was not
a pleasure, but q necessity, for things
had not gone well with the widow and her

"WeiwiII have to sell this furniture your
grandfather left us" she said. 1T is
handsome mahogany and will bring a

Now Fred was at high school and want

his old home or old friends.
He hated to part especially. with the
small but pretty mahogany book case
which stood in the room. His grandfather
had given il to him years ago.
