TUESDAY.
The first thing Mrs. Hooper had done
when she finally got away from the
apartment after lunch yesterday was to
go in town and order the electric light
and the gas turned on and make arrange
ments 10 have a telephone put in and
also have the water turned on These
details took such a long time that she
had only an hour in which to look at
gas stoves and decide on the one she
wanted.
There was some expense attached to
having the heat and light turned on and
for the installation Of the telephone and
there were papers TO sign and all sorts
Of things to be done that she never
remembered to have had TO bother with
In Mayheld. She also found 1t not quite
satisfactory to pay anything with checks
on bank. SO far away as MayheId. The
tradesmen seemed not to care par
ueularly to take them and beside there
was ten cents exchange TO be paid on
each one which rather disturbed Mrs
Hooper's idea of thrift
IN have to do something about
having the money In the bank at May
field transferred to an account here" said
Mrs. Hooper, "or draw it all cut and
just use 1t for getting settled and II
there is anything left open a new &C
count"
Il think that much the better way
would be TO just transfer the account to
bank here and I will ask our cashier
just how TO 90 about It," said Henry.

keeping than to so on as you did in
Nsytield just keeping money around in
your cash box and paying it out as
things fell due"
Banking your money and checking on
It is much the more business like way"
agreed Mrs. Hooper, land l feel as II It
really were time that I had some expe-
rienee in using money besides just taking
your $50 week income from a cash box
dollar by dollar and handing it out"
Well your problem at Mayheld was so
much more simple than It viii be here"
said Henry hurriedly finishing his second
cup Of coffee. Your income consists now
not only in my salary Of $50 g week, but
OF SIPS extra from the rent Of the house"
And my expenses are also more COM
plicated." Mrs. Hooper reminded him.
Il not only have the normal items Of my
budget TO look out fOr-shelter, food,
clothing, operating expenses, advance
ment and savings-but I have interest
on a mortgage, rent and the constant
feeling Of necessity to save something be-
side enough to cover our insurance prem
ium SO that we may pay OF our debt
as soon as possible"
And for that reason I think Il will
simplify your keeping Of accounts very

Mr.. Hooper as he rose from the break

7 want to decide about that gas stove
TODAY. Henry" said Mrs. Hooper follow
ing him into the hall. Have you any
suggestions TO make about it,"
One Ct the men suggested that We
not bother buying a gas stove, but rent
one from the gas company" said Henry.
He wasn't certain about it, but he said
he had heard that the gas company rent
ed ranges at so much a month, that paid
something TO install them and then every
month the rent for It come with your
gas bill. You might inquire into It."
IN do nothing Of the kind" said Mrs.
Hooper decisively. Il intend to own my
gas stove, it will be much cheaper in the
end even If 1t were possible to rent one In
I 1
OF such a thing myself"
well. of course you wouldn't In May
field" said Henry tauntingly, but you
must remember that indianapolis is diff
ferent."
Well, anyhow, I shall buy that stove
today. 1t IS a much better one than mine
at Mayield. Il has a lot of improve
ments that I've always wanted-the oven
on top of the stove, SO you don't have to
be always bending and q few other things
equally satisfactory"
