DAILY ECONOMY CALENDAR

COUNT YOUR HOURS.

You perhaps know some women who
seem to regard their own time as worth
less They wouldn't admit such belief
Yet when they figure the cost Of anything
they have made il Is quite clear that they
figure their own time as being worthless
II matters not whether they have spent
one hour or forty III the making ofan article
when they tell you how much it has cost
they speak only Of the prices Of the ma
tcrials So in speaking Of the cost Of
certain dishes. They do not figure the
difference in time cost Of beef steak that
takes ten minutes IN preparation for the
table and meat Croquettes that take
more than an hour.
OF course it Is absurd 50 to overlook the
value Of wonan's time, for although she
may not actually have any way Of turning
her time to actual money, there are always
money saving things tn at she may do at
home, that make her time worth as much
money as she can save. If by working ten
hours she is able TO make ten doll lars worth
Of material into Il coat that could not be
bought for less than twelve dollars then
her ten hours of labor are worth two dol
lars. If she makes coat that she would
not have bought for thirty dollars her ten
hours of time are worth twenty dollars.
With the housewife Of even ordinary abil
tiles there IS always an endless oppor-
tunlty for her to conserve, so there is
hardly time when her time rightly spent
could not be Of real cash value That is.
the housewife almost never gets to the
point where she can say II may well
spend an hour in making Lighters that will
save a five cent box of matches. Ny time
is worth nothing and anything / save is
therefore our gain"

LETTERS OF TESSIE AND JOE

Dear Tossie:
It's = relief TO hear you have at Inst
tied the can to that stumbling nurse
girl, though when you come to think Of IL
the fact that she stumbled over the baby
every now and then might not have been
such bad thing for the child after oil.
I'm great believer, as you know, in
preparing n child for the shocks and
unpleasant surprises of ater life, and what
could be more of shock and mn un-
pleasant surprise to n baby than to
be suddenly stumbled over ut ir-
regular intcrvols2 If some body had
thoughtfuly stumbled over me rs
baby every time | got to thinking
in my infantile way that life is grand
sweet song, why might not get
quite 40 mad now when | stop TO think
that life is just one days work after an
other.
On the other hand it might also be
n good idea to vary the lessons so as
to teach him that all the surprises of life
arc not unpleasant, such as by giving
him a plate of ice cream when he least
expects ton some cold winter day, for
example. OF course a baby of six months
Is probably too young 10 eat ice cream
with any degree Of health, but that's the
general idea A good practical education
can't start too early.
You ask me if | believe in intuition.
Well yes, do-for woman. Not that
believe women can't think, because they
can, but the trouble is, they don't. But
then on the other hand, why should they?
Nothing in the world is more trouble than
thinking, either plain or fancy, and az
long AZ women have their intuition 70
act as perfect alihi why should they
bother to over heat the old bean with
brainwork2 IL woman pulls n boner
she merely chirps, well, well, my in
tuition failed me that timei' and she gets
away with murder, whereas If man tried
TO pull that stuff they'd lead him 10 pew
in a bughouse. You belong TO lucky
sex, Tessie.

If | do say il, Mr. Gander, she lays as
fine eggs rs any of us, and YOU can thank
me, for all the credit is due me for tanning
her
Wise old Gander shook his head. II do
not approve Of having q wild one in our
midst, he said. Mark my word. once a
wild goose always wild goose.
But Grey GOOSE did not fly away; she
STAYED on and on until II was almost for
gotten that she had dropped from the sky.
But one day when she was waddllng
along in meadow with the other geese
cry was heard up in the sky, "Honk,
honk.i" and Grey Goose lifted her head
and listened. 'Honk, honk, came the cry
again.
Grey Goose saw where the cry came
from and slowly she spread her wings;
then with heavy motion she began TO
rise above the heads Of her surprised
friends
Up and up she sailed while they all
gazed after her with wondering eyes
until she was lost in the flock OF geese
far up in the sky
What did | tell you?" said old Mr..
Gander; once a wild goose always
wild one; she IS of 10 the South with
her wild friends.
let this be q lesson to you all; stick
to your own kind. | do NOT approve Of
taking into our midst wild geese that drop
from the sky; my motto Is stick 10 the
ground and don't l 90 gallivanting of into

Well she was a nice, sociable little
thing, said Madam Goose, when Mr.
Gander had gone. and ! heard great
deal never should have known if she
had not come.
One day the next spring as Madam
Goose was wandering about alone back
Of the barn, she heard sound that made
her look up and down from q dark streak
IN the sky she saw bird flying towards
her
1t was Grey Goose. Il just dropped
down for a little chat she said Il knew
YOU would like 10 hear all the news from
the South
And 50 each year Grey Goose stops
on her way up from her Southern trip
10 tell Madam Goose the latest news
and all the barnyard folk wonder how
she learns all the gossip she tells them,
but she never speaks of the little visits
that Grey Goose pays her for fear of Mr..

One day the barnyard was thrown
into wild confusion when a plump grey
goose dropped into the yard. Madam
Goose, who never let anyone get ahead of
her in finding out things, was the first one
to recover from her surprise, so she ran
over TO the newcomer lying on the ground
