OUR FIRST YEAR
CHAPTER XXXV-Bills and Budget
By Bride.

I'm tired OF trying to live by thai
old budget. 1 guess we didn't make
It out properly. Anyway. 1 seem tC
have some necessary expenses with
no fund to draw on. For instance
when 1 make candy to give to the
girls starting off on their summer
travels. some OF the cost Is for sugar
and belongs to my food bill, but
what am 1 to do with the price of
the lovely boxes pack the candy in
When Mrs. Herrod went away, for
Jacks sake, I made her a wonder

candied fruits in an elegant box, II

It charged, so can take my time to
decide where It ought TO be credited
in my accounts. Or is it debited?
Not yet have I had the heart to
show my bills to Jack, and the pile
grows higher the first and fifteenth
of every month. The dear boy has
just finished paying for the over
stuffed pieces. asked him whom
he had insured to get a percentage
big enough to pay that bill. And
then he owned up that he had had
TO draw on his savings account!
He told me so sweetly, didn't seem
to be sorry, although I know he
hated to disturb his savings. He
said once more that he ought to be
earning double his present salary
of course 1 must have things like
other people, and it's up to him TO
provide them.
1 did my best to comfort him. told
him not to worry even If some Of
his friends are already in the FIVE
figure class, with no better start
than he had. I made him laugh by
saying I'd be content with a two
handler car this summer instead Of
a new one.
And because I do want a little
car so very much, I have decided to
let the bills remain in my desk a
while longer. A small car will not
cost much more than my furniture,
and IL Jack managed that, I guess
he can manage the car somehow.

in town will trust him for any

ADVENTURES OF THE
TWINS
TRIP TO THE MOON.
By Olive Roberts Burton

Well, Nancy and Nick finally got
started on their trip to the moon.
The magic Green Shoes whisked
them OFF up through the air over tree
tops and hills and pountains. past
clouds and stars and comets. until
finally they were so high that the
earth Itself looked almost like an
other star below them. Or rather
II looked like another round moon.
Now I'm going to tell you a funny
thing. my dears. When you're on
the earth you look up at the moon,
or over at 1t, depending upon where
II is. And when you're on the moon
you look up at the earth, or over at
it, or down at it, depending on where
IL is. It's a sort of a game of hide
and seek that the earth and the
moon play, bobbing about the way
they do, and that is the reason that
the moon looks little like
a sickle and sometimes like half a
pie and something like a silver dol
lar. Because the earth gets in the
way and cuts off part Of its
light.
It's as easy to understand as in
