A very nice looking man has
made her a splendid offer to invest
every cent OF IL In the oil fields He
says she, will make a million dol
lars, II she does. and make II In less
than six months.
She had almost. decided to do
that, when a man from a real es-
tate office came to see her and he
told her that the oil man was just a
shark after her money, and the
things he said about the oil man
made the little woman feel as IL
she'd seen q snake-and she went
and called up "Rosy" Mcguire. the
lawyer, and "Rosy" told her not
to invest the money In anything at
all, without consulting him.
And Johnnie wants a motorcycle,
but Jim says 1t must be an auto
mobile-only they simply cannot
agree on the make. One wants a
long, low racing car for two, and
the other wants a big, high-powered
touring car, so the bunch" can go
along. And Katie wants one OF
those new polo coats, some silk
stockings, and a pair of high -heeled
slippers just like those that Kitty
Anderson wore to the school ex-

another house. This one Is too
small-and new curtains and car
pets, they'll have to have-and the
little woman Is simply overrun with

luck was printed in the newspaper,
and everybody Is so glad Of IL. Peo-.

won't have a cent left for herself
and her children, and that would
never do.
There's an awfully good-looking
young man, who came to take her
out to look at a new house the
other day. Well, not exactly hand
some, but on, such q way with
him! You can see he understands
women. and he's so sorry for this
little woman and admires her SO

made. and he's SO fond Of children.

Is There Any Hope For

An article on this vital subject ap-
peared in the issue of The Saturday
Evening Post of January 3lst,

man and woman in America. 1t
demonstrates in a fashion that the
rlalnest mind can understand the
utter futility OF any hopes for ma
torial reduction for at least ten
years to come. And this is done by
the writer by presenting all the
statistics concerning the production

pies, showing the why and where
fore of the tremendous advance in

OF humah use, and the absolute ne
Cessity for the advance as well as
the certainty of its continuing for
years to come. 1t is not in human
power TO prevent it.
The writer then points out in con-
crete form the sole remedy to meet
this evil, namely, stick economy, the
value Of his suggestion consisting in
minute table of reduction of the
expenses of living, TO the end that
the higher costs may thus be met.
