FALSE ECONOMIES.

He would keep all the wrapping paper and Irvine
that came into his store and it over again in
doing up packages for customers All the envelopes
that came in the mail saved, and the back
of them used as> scratch pads. 1t worried him
when his advertisement writer left inch white
space around his notice in the paper.
There are many people who miss the essential
factors of success because too much occupied with
details or too penny wise and pound foolish. Some
of them allow an air of decadence to settle over
their business. Their store front perhaps needs a
coat of paint. But they think they can some
thing by letting it go. They may not any diff
ference in trade. Yet the idea is subty conveyed
to the public, that that store is running down hill
bit. .....
Such may think he can cut down his
advertising space, perhaps dispense with it for a
time He may be able to run along awhile on
momentum though it won't be long before he will
notice that he does not have many customers as
formerly. His business will eventually show the
failure to present itself to the public.

streets to down, and by stand-pat attitude on
the part of the merchants. But any enterprise must

Is a false economy spirit manifested anywhere in
Albuquerque, any failure to grasp big opportunities.

So the Fox opened his mouth

"The North Wind doth blow,
We soon shall have snow,
And what will the Robin do
then?" Poor thing!
He'll go in the barn,
To keep himself warm,
And hide his head under his

Uncle Wiggily was wondering
what to do next, when suddenly a
voice called:

Fox, much surprised. Didn't you

AN EVENING WITH THE
THURSTONS.
CHAPTER XIII.

CHAPTER XIII.
I knew Tom was right in his
feeling toward his mother, that he
felt exactly as I would under the
same circumstances; yet l could
not put the thought of how much
more / might have were it not for
her from my mind. All day it re-
NAMED with me. l knew that
Hazel Havilands husband had an
immense fortune. Tom had tod
me he was rated at a million dol
lars, and we had a hundred a
month. And that hundred which
had held such enormous POSSIBLE
tiles for the country girl, had be-
come a perplexing problem to the
city housekeeper.
Tom was insistent that I should
not run in debt. He emphasized 1t
every time we made the weekly
payment on the few things we had
been compelled to buy on the in
stallment plan. Had l done as
wished / would have bought what
l needed, and paid for it as l
could.
We spent the evening with the
Thurstons. They seemed delighted
to see us. Helen had on the daint-
lest house dress, a pale lavender
crepe trimmed simply. 1t was very
becoming, and made my shirt waist
and skirt look terribly country
fled.
We played bridge until about 10
o'clock, then had some sand
witches and coffee. I asked Helen
to let me see her new tailor suit
before we left and she brought it
into the living room-as l hoped
she would. l wanted Tom to see
it.
Helen Recommends Her Tailor.
Isn't it smart?". she asked, as
she held it up for our inspection.
"Indeed it isl" l gushed.
"Who's your tailor?"
"a man named Rolansky," she
returned. Hes awfully reasonable
too considering the work he does
I'll introduce you there if you like.
He takes great pains with anyone

"Thank you, that will be fine

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE

(Ey Howard r. Garis.)

$50 YOU are going out again,

Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy. the
muskrat lady housekeeper of the
bunny rabbit gentleman, one
morning, as he started to hop
away from his hollow stump
bungalow.

adventure" answered Mr.. Long
ears.
"Well, if you meet the Fuzzy
Fox or the Woozie Wolf, just ask
them to sing a song for you.'
went on Nurse Jane.
"Sing a song!" cried the bunny
rabbit. "That is very strange al
vice, but I'll try it, Nurse Jane"
Then Uncle Wiggily hoped
along. and he had not gore very
far before, all of a sudden, as he
passed an old barn belonging to a
farmer, the Dummy heard a voice
saying:
"oh. how hungry I am! How
hungry l ami"
"Ha! Maybe that is the Wolf or
Fox now!" thought Uncle Wiggily.
"IlI do as Nurse Jane advised me
and ask them to sing me song.
So the bunny rabbit gentleman
called:
"Ha, That is a funny thing TO
ask me-" went on the voice. Il am
as hoarse as q crow, but I'll sing
if you will give me something to
eat"
Then the voice sang: $3.50,
"Who, Who! WHO'D too-tu-tu!
"Thats a funny song for FOX
mr. Wolf to sing" said Uncle Wig
gily. - o;oo
from the barn. I'm neither one!
I'm a Barn Owl and / always sing
nv who Who song. oh, If only
had something to eat! l..-.
well, / have a piece OF carrot
pancake that l put in my pocket
from the breakfast table, said the
bunny, ''How about that?"
"Oh, / Just love carrot PAN
eakes!" hooted the Barn Owl, and
he ate all that Uncle Wiggily gave
him, thanking the bunny gentle
man very much.
"If ever l can do you FAVOR
I Wilt" hooted the Barn Owl as
Uncle Wiggily hoped away.
"Thank you," spoke Mr.. Long
ears, and then he went on look
ing for an adventure. But he did
not find one until he was on his
way back home, when, all OF a
sudden, as he was passing the
barn again, out sprang the bad
old Fuzzy Fox.
ooh, no! I have caught you'll!
cried the Fuzzy Fox. :.
"Wait a miAute! Stop" said
Uncle Wiggily, holding up one
paw. Nurse Jane said If met
you / must ask you to sing a
song"
"Oh, hel Did she?" exclaimed
the Fox. and he seemed quite
proud aud pleased with himself.

"I shall have to have one very
soon. and shall be so glad to
know where to go. That is II he $
not too expensive" 1 finished
noting Toms frown.
"He only charged me fifty dol
lars for this. / call 1T dirt cheap.
Helen told me as she laid the SUIT
carefully over chair, Il thinK
he would make you one for the
same"
"Only fifty dollars! half of Toms
monthly salary. l felt weak and
sick. If clothes-decent clothes
cost so much, however was 1 to
dress myself decently? ,.....
said nothing of this however,
but proposed we go as 1t was iate.

could not see that suit which SO
tempted me.

ooh, Tom! wasn't that suit just
stunning? / asked as soon as we
had switched on the lights IN our
apartment.
at was we'll tailored" he an
swered n-committingly.
81 should say it was! why II
was Just perfect. I'd like one Just
exactly like it. If course | would
get a different color"
"Dont' you think you better cut
out the pipe dreams dear and
come to bed?" Tom asked. There's
about as much chance of your
having a suit like that as of your
flving. THAT is for some time. I'd
like to know how we could live IL
we spent half my salary for
tailor suit--more than half"
[ knew he was thinking OF the
ten dollars he gave his mother, as
it left us but ninety dollars to use.
So of course the suit would be five
dollars more than half of all we
had to use.
but Tom, I could get it say
next month, We'll have most OF
our installment bills paid then,
and pay small sum down and the
rest as 1 could save it. Helen said
he would make me something that
way If she vouched for me-"
mo, Sue, / won't have debt
hanging over us. We will save all
we can and you shall have some
sort Of a dress as soon as possible
If you think it so necessary. But
you must not run in debt. You

were married we went to sleep

What's an old man goin' to do E.s :.
When a little chap like you
Comes an settles on his knee,
Where he's wantin you to be,
An begins to talk about
Things he cannot live without?
Just suppose he needs a top
Or sticky lollypOp
Or drum or rubber ball,
That his Ma won't buy at all, a
An he tells his grandpa old
Where those very things are sold,
An suppose his grandpa knows
That somewhere about his clo'es
He could find the dollar bill
Which those urgent wants would fill,
What else could an old man do
But to take a walk with you?
Who's he goin' to listen to 'la
What your mother says or you?
When those big eyes start to dance
An those feet begin to prance,
Could an old man be content
Till his dollar bill is spent?
Course know I'm spoilin' you
An it's what shouldn't do,
But JUS get your hat on coat
An we'll spend this dollar note;
Praps your Ma is right, hut say.

1t makes me sad and weary to
read the New Romance, wherein
the authors dreary give action not
a chance. The good old plot of
Dickens, of Collins and of Reade
no more a novel quickens, and
fiction's gone to seed. We have
the CHASTITY study of problems
touching sex, instead of pirates
bloody on red and slippy decks.
And serpent-women vamping, and
