So many complaints have come to
me lately from my readers with re-

Nothing in the world is more tire

is to keep accounts. It's a dull bust

But when the little old ledger shows
an appalling list of items like 10
cents for magazines. 80 cents for
candy, s. for cut and wave, 25-cent

etc, you begin to get wise to yourself.
Youth probably make the old wave
