FRIDAY. JAN. s.


When the Wc-nan's Club assembled for
its meeting, Mrs. Hooper was over
whelmed with expressions of sorrow that
she was leaving Mayfeld. 1t was very
difficult to persuade the women to coneen-
trate on the program for the day, SO
anxious was every one 10 say something
about the difficulty they anticipated IN
getting along without her.
Il shall be here for three more meet
ings," announced Mrs. Hooper, "and we
already have a very definite outline OF
the budget that I have used successfully
IN my own household, and there will be
nothing further TO do but to discuss II
weekly with the idea that there viii al
ways be suggestions to help meet the
difficulties that are sure to arise.

making these budgets accomplish their
purpose"

But you've been doing It for so many
years" said Mrs. Chaplin, that merely

be nearly as hard as what we are try

problem that we were discussing only
last week. interrupted Mrs. Hooper, ''of
finding a plac TO live in the city for
which I can pay out Of ny ihelter al
