extravagant. She markets for her
family and serves inexpensive
meals that are inviting and nour-

What you do Is OF more I'm
portance than what you say.
Speech, with some of us at east,
is thing Of impulse and does not
mean a lot; it is like the wind
which "bloweth whittier it listeth
and we hear the sound thereof
and know 1t no more"
Action is more the expression
of ourselves since 1t requires
prolonged concentration, inten-
ton and determination.
Speech may spring from a mo-
mentary emotion, but action
usually is the outcome of sus-'
tained feeling. And behind both
speech and action is the most
important thing of although.
What you say and what you do
may declare your impulses or
your moods, but what you think
is what you are, your character;
your thoughts are you-the only
you there is.
What you think will determine
every phase of your life. every
experience. every success, every
failure. And this is true In spite

In these days of high living, it
seems difficult for any couple,
however thrifty, to live on forty
dollars week. Can these two
make a "go'' of their marriage?
The heiress is unspoiled by her
luxurious surroundings and is sin
cerely in love. Dick is reading
law nights and hopes within a
year to be a member of the bar,
which will mean advancement at
the office.
