We once knew n miser IN our town who
explained this matter 10 us. He lived about
two miles from his Office. lie walked I'm
every morning and out again In the after
noon. Having noticed this we thought the
old gentleman was out FOR exercise. one
day we saw him when he appeared rather
tired. We asked him why he walked.
''To save a nickel" he responded.
OF course we were amazed We knew he
was rich, having known him since we were
n little boy. so we had no hesltancy in dis
cussing the matter with him.

THAT Is true" he replied calmly.
"Then why do you do II. Uncle Bob?" we
asked We were not related TO him. but
had acquired the habit Of addressing him as

We caught step with him and waited.

said. "You are good to the family"
''Well. then. IL you will admit that we will

"Of course" we responded.

"All right" he concluded. MY happiness

pleasure Do you deny me the right 10 be
happy in my own way, provided harm
no one?"
II certainly do not. Uncle Bob we re-
sponded. Come in and Jet me buy you

He smiled and consented and we con-
tinued our walk toward the city. Ever
since that incident we have had different
idea about the saving OF money and we are
perfectly convinced that many mlsunder-
stood men have been accused of being miser-
able misers when they We're not misers at
all, but were merely men who were seeking
happiness in this life IN their own way, Just
as you do and just as we do.

~ NCE we ran matrimonial agency. We
had only one customer In fact we
only wanted one. We were not in the
business for financial gain. Our sole object
was to unite. forever we hoped. two hearts
and to produce unity in the rhythm of
the beats which had in the past been operat
ing independently Of each other.
Did we succeed? Well, read on and Judge
for yourself. 1t long ago became unneces-
sary for us to recount our own achieve

ours boy in very modest circumstances,
fell in love with charming young woman
whose father. unfortunately, had a lot OF
money. and who had his household going at
a financial pace that little too speedy
for our young friend.
He came to us with his troubles. He
wanted to marry the girl, and he understood
perfectly that 1t would be necessary for him
to court her. but to court girl in her
position required, he thought, enormously of
course, larger amount Of money than he
could afford to spend.
Some of the Things That
Never Stir a Woman to Anger
The trouble with our friend was that
ne did not understand women. Women do
not require men to spend money In order to
secure their friendship win their love.
woman would rather have a man stand up
and offer his chair when she enters the room
than to receive a box of candy from him.

her than have bouquet from him. And so
it goes. You can think of other things as
well as we can. One thing is certain, and
that is that no woman of any age ever be-
came really and truly angry because man
admired her.
We have a friend who was guilty of CO.
verify looking at pretty woman in a street
until she finally became conscious of his
glances. She was one of these independent,
self-reliant women. so she promptly accosted
him with some severity of tone.
Twill you please tell me why you are
staring at me?" she demanded.
Off came his hat.
Madam" he responded, "T hope you do
not think was staring at you. 1t is true
/ looked at you too often, but you have
face of such heroic nobility that could not

you"
"Oh that's all right" she answered. soft
ening at once, you have not offended me at
ALL"
1t was typical incident.
Drafts a Budget to Help
Friend Who Has No Money
However, let's return to our young friend,
who was unacquainted with women and did
not know the secrets of the sex sufficiently
to realize that it is the expenditure of atten-
tions which they demand and not the spend
ing of money.
How much money have you?" we asked.
Practically none," he answered.
We'll. can you afford to spend, say, $2o0?"
we asked.
"Oh, of course; can spend that" he said.
So then we told him that all he needed was
a programme of attentions and a budget of
expenditures.
BY the way, we had been advocating this
budget system long before 1t came into such
common use. Now, II seems that even the
United States Government is going to have a
budget. person by the name Of Dawes Is

Courteous to fellow members OF the
Bar, attentive and Jealous to the
duties of his clientf, dignified and

We will miss him as a fellow
