THE THRIFT HABIT
Bv n AddinqtOn Bruce

| TT is a fact, unappreciated by most people,
| that if a man or woman begins and de-
terminedly continues to save each week
a portion of his or her earnings, the time
will come when it really is easier to save
! than not to save.
This is because the psychological law Of
habit operates with regard to thrift as to
everything else.
And that law is, simply, that every act
with each repetition tends to greater readi-
ness in performance, until it becomes an au-
tomato or semi-autOmatiC activity Then
whatever interferes with it is felt as an un-
pleasant hindrance
Thus the habitual smoker chafes if condi-
lions prevent him from smoking at his ac-
customed time. The reader habituated to
read his newspaper at the breakfast table,
is reSentful il the paper has not arrived.
The writer whose habit it is to write in the
morning is at loss if obliged to wait up til
afternoon.
So, too, the nOn-Saver who acquires a
habit of saving finds in time a positive
source of discomfort, if not distress, in any
thing that causes him her to delay the
wonted visit to the bank
And because the thrift habit is one Of the
best habits person acquire, it is i'm
portant to impress on all non-savers the
gertrude with which they will acquire tiff
they but make an earnest effort to do so.
The trouble with most of them is that
| they already have a spending habit. Well,
let them continue 10 SpenQ-Wltnln reason
able limitations. But persuade them to
make the experiment of, say, subscribing to
a few shares of a cooperative bank or a
| building and loan association.
For some months they may fine it diff
cult indeed to make the required payment
on bank-day. They would sooner buy this
or that they deplOre the sacrifice of some
pleasure they could otherwise have 1t is
with real regret that they force themselves
to set by something for the future-some-
thing for the rainy day that most people
soon or late experience.
Only for time do they feel this foolish
regret, this animOsity against saving Per-
sistng in saving, they discover that to put a
little money in a bank every month has be-
come as easy to them spending the same
amount formerly was. And, as they see
their savings mount, they discover also the
presence Of peace of mind unknown to
them before
Test this for yourself, If at present you
are among the nOn-savers. You will find it
one of the most certain Of truths, as hun
dreds of thousands of other people have
found to their great JOY

homes and hospitals; these rooms would do

yes"
Mary's voice sounded wistful; her thoughts
had flown to Nigel, the son of this great
house, VINO had given his life for England.
He would never come here any more; the
beautiful rooms would never again echo to
the sound of his CHEEKY laugh or voice
She stifled a sigh. David looked down at
her quickly.
What are you thinking?"
She answered him quite simply:
Il was thinking of Nigel"
He was silent for moment.

They had reached the wide landing now,
and David turned to the right and pushed
open heavy, nail-studded door,
This is the passage to the old part of the
house. he said. He held it back for her to
pass; she noticed that it fell again into it's
place with hardly a sound
A long, unlit passage lay ahead of them;
it dark save for the moonlight stream

There something eerie in its great
beauty; lnStlnCtlYely she drew nearer to
David.
81 was right about the moonlight, you

They stood for a moment, looking out at
the garden; it looked almost like fairyland.
Mary thought, and it filled her with srnse
of awe, almost of fear. She would have
liked to put her hand into David's very much
as "a child in the dark gropes for its mothers
hand.
"And is this where the ghost walks?" she
asked presently.
He shook his head.
"No-much further along He looked
down at her. Are you afrad?" he asked.
"Of course mott" There was indignation
in her voice.
They went on to the end Of the passage
there was another door there, much wider
than the first.
HAS Miss Fisher ever been here?" asked
Mary suddenly.
A quick frown crossed David's face.

David laughed.
He pushed open the second door, but
barred her way with his arm when she would
have passed him.

new ground" he said Shut your eyes,

Natural gas and helium are not

There are two corporations In

lines. The Goodyear Company Of
Akron, Ohio, built many balloons,

Another corporation in Boston

embody some features of each.
