We were torn to emotional shreds
by all the true to life" skits, COM
plete with sound effects.
For about ten minutes, you hear
a girl sob and cry, muttering in
distinctly about Stephen, who has
gone away and may never come
back. That is all. Then the an
nouncer's suave voice pleads, Lis

Will Stephen come back? Will
Mary hear from him? Why did he
go away without a word. Will
Mary get over her heartbreak (?
And what will her mother and
father do about it? Dripso invites
you to hear Mary again tomorrow.
Then follows five minute dis
course on the wonders of Dripso.
Then the program changes, and
you hear how young and very
beautiful widow, the mother of two
children, battles her way through
life. The ten-minute conversation,
tense and gripping with mystery
and intrigue, let us know that the
young daughter has disappeared.
Sylvia, the mother is frantic, and
her friend, DR.. Ames, who is in
love with her is frantic, and DR..
Ames' best briend, Dexter, whom
Sylvia loves, is frantic-while Bess
the daughter, who was rescued
from disgrace on a gambling ship
has disappeared. That is all.
Says the announcer, for five min
utes, Where is Bess? What will
Sylvia do if she finds out about the
gambling ship? When will DR..
Ames confess his love for Sylvia.
Will Dexter let his friend know
that Sylvia loves him ?"

BY that time, you feel like one of
the Quiz Kids.
After one day of this, we decided
to rest quietly, with drawn shades.
and calmly mediate upon our sins.
How to save money is a problem,
but a little thought and originality
will bring remarkable results.
First of all, buy a large coin
bank, place it in a conspicuous
spot in your home, and hint point
edly to your friends that the con-
tents will go to the poor and needy.
They might contribute generously
and besides, by stretching a
point, you were telling the truth,
anyway.
Arrange to visit your friends Of
ten-at least those with interesting
kitchens. A pretext of borrowing
the lawnmower, a stopped watch,
or a choice bit of gossip-all good
excuses and time your arrival
somewhere between $50 and 600.
When the invitation is given, don't
seem too anxious. It's not polite.
Murmur something about having
eaten early that night, but say
you'll just sample the steak, be-
cause you love steak. You'll be
surprised how this cuts down the
meal ticket.
Choose your friends with care
taking particular pains that at
least four of them are just your
size and build. In this way, you
can buy just the minimum amount
of clothes. Borrowing increases

handled with tact, is hardly notice

me in, too?" Of course, if nobody
mentions going anywhere, but owns
a car, you might get a little holder,
and ask them to take you Of
course, in this case, the respectable
thing would be to offer to pay at
least half the gas bill-but with
practice and skill, even this can be
avoided. This method, however, is
not advised for the amateur.
Then, there are numerous ways
to save on little things. Borrow
all magazines, or else sit in the
drug store and read them when
they first come in. You have to
buy a coke, but that saves you 20
cents. Always bum cigarettes.

people always carry them-why
