TINS way. But the
majority, I hope. appreciate and en-
joy the contrasts found in the old
countries and are very ready to enter
in and enjoy their customs. To my
mind that is the attitude to have in
travelling.
/ read a piece Of news in the paper
while in Paris that to me was rather
sad; it must be attributed to the
enormous number of Americans travel
ing in Europe. In order to make the
little country hotels all through France
more comfortable for tourists, they are
all going to be modernized. The day
that this happens the major charm of
France will be lost. Why can't we
appreciate this fact and, for the sake
Of the charm and contrast, stand being
slightly uncomfortable for a few weeks
out of our comfortablesyear.
] can remember a good many years
ago, before motors were as numerous
as today, stopping at many little hotels
in France in which there was probably.
only one bathroom-hotels in which
one man, or perhaps one nah and his
wife, took entire charge. They were
always very clean places the cooking
was delicious and the novelty Of being
asked, for instance, what you wanted
for your dinner 1.-THE great simplicity
OF it) was and always will be to me a
most delightful relief from the luxury
and impersonality of the modern hotel.
Recently / had delightful chat
with a certain painter-a pupil of
Sorolla who has made numerous trips
to Europe, and spent many years in
France. He told me of the days when
he was struggling art student and
joyously set sail for France, each sum-
,mer with his heager savings-some-
times trusting to luck to sell sketch
Or two in order to pay his passage
back. He told me that his most treas
ured memories of France date from
those days, when he tlived as one of
the people and learned to know them
and their language.
Later when he made several trips to
France to purchase works of art for an
American Museum, business considera-
tons forced him to live at the large
hotels. to ride .ins 5taxis-te- enjoy all
the Injuries of large cities.
II had looked forward with such
cogerness," the painter said, Ito re-
turning to my beloved France in
grand manner. But it was no fun at
all. 1t was just like being anywhere
else; the best hotels, the best trans
portation, are virtually alike every
where. The fun lies in the element of
strangeness.
To travel in luxury-that is distinct
Is my idea Of exactly how not to
travel.

My Neighpb5orSays

Clean white kid slippers with any
talcum powder. When dry, rub Soff
with soft cloth. This makes them
retain that new look.
A few drops Of turpentie added to
the rinsing water when washing
white silk hose, underwear, skirts,
ETC., prevents them from turning yell
low.
The white braid on blue wooden
middies may be cleaned by sponging
with a solution of white soap.
When pressed the MILDLY will look
like new.
10 remove powder stains from your
suit or dress collar, sponge with
turpentine.
Facecloths made of three thick
nesses of white mosquito netting are
very satisfactory. They keep white,
dry quickly and are especially gool
when travelling.
Dents in furniture can be mended
quite easily. 'Dampen the dent with
warm water, then make q pad of
brown paper six inches square, damp
en- that thoroughly, lay it on the
dent and hold over all a hot iron.
The warmth makes the wood swell
up and fill the dent In some woods
the process is slow, but it is sure.

RADIO WEATHER

The possibility of predicting weather
conditions from radio, observations of the
atmosphere grows apace with the study
of static effects. With the aid of direc-
tion-finding apparatus in England the
course of the thunderstorm has been fol-
lowed vast distances. Similar observa-
tons are now being made in this coup-
try and France Golfers.

INCREASE IN RJJFFALO

Campaigns for the preservation of the

alarmingly scarce, have resulted in the.

Do you ever think, Mrs. Woman,
what would happen to you if your
husband should die or get sick?
You are living up to the last
cent of your income. You are lay
ing up nothing for a rainy day,
and only luck stands between you
and overwhelming disaster.
And why do you run this terrible
risk?
Because you. are crazy for an auto
mibile, although you know you can't
afford it. Because all of your friends
live in high-priced apartments. so you
pay more rent than you should. Be-
cause you give jolly, little restaurant
that you cannot spare, but you can't
good spender. Because you can't resist
the temptation of pretty frocks, and
hats, and good clothes, even if the bill
collector does hound your steps.
Those who dance must pay the piper
and it takes all you make-and then
some-to live on, but you kid yourself
by thinking that youth is the time for
enjoyment, and that when you are older
you Will Degln 10 save.
You have got it wrong. Youth
lis the time to save, and unless you
form the habit of thrift when you
are young you will never save at
all. Furthermore, youth is just of
itself happiness enough. 1t does not
need anything to enhance the mere
joy of living. You do not need a
feast when your appetite is keen,
nor bought pleasures when you
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1924-11-03

All of this is as much of bromide
truth as that thrift means prosperity
and spending means want; but we can
never take the lesson to heart too much
to know that our safety, our independ-
ence, our we1l-being, depends on our
banking part Of our income. So get the
thrift habit, and get it now.
DOROTHY DIX.

All Of this mans life earnings for
tune in the aggregate-had gone for
new cars, for restaurant dinners, for
fine clothes, for little foolish extrava-
gances that were just the qualification
of the moment. His wife and himself
had never looked beyond the pleasure
of the minute until the grim hour came
in which she turned terrorfied eyes
upon a cold world in which she was
penniless.
Do you ever think, Mr.. Man,
that if you should die that your
own wife would be in the same po-
sition as that unfortunate woman?

There is no other weakness in hu-
man nature so inexplicable as that
which makes it risk it's own safety, and
that of its beloved, for the sake of a
moments qualification. No, it is even
worse than that. Men and women de-

Life screams its warning to us

Of us who could not organize "a
Down-andOut club among our per-
sonal acquaintance.
We all know men and women
who were once prominent in club

cars and gave champagne parties;
women who were the glass of fash
Ion, anu whose entertainments were
the talk of the town; men and
women who spent money as if it
grew on trees who lived up to the

now? broken in purse, in health,
in heart, seedy and forlorn, are
pensioners on our bounty or glad

justify their extravaganza by say
ing that their children will take
care of them when they are old.
But they find out, all too late, that
dependence is bitter, no matter
whether they eat their children's
bread or strangers. Their own
sons and daughters may be will
ing to support their pauper par
ents, but there are always the in
laws to consider. And no one can
rightly blame Mary's husband for
feeling that it is an imposition to
have to feed and clothe Mary's
father, who has spent his own sub
stance in riotous living.

La ok of thrift in its ultimate re-
suit is dishonesty. The self-indul-
gents, who will not deny them
selves to save up anything against
their day of need rob the thrifty.
When they are sick, we must take
care of them. When they are
hungry, we must feed them. When
they are homeless, we must give
them shelter. When they have
eaten their cake, we must divide
our hard-earned bread with them.
And the result is just the same
as if they forced us at the point of
a gun to give them the contents of
our pocketbook.
