I wonder sometimes whether we

money if they could lay their hands
on hundreds of dollars. A mere five

It seems to me that families might
pool their savings sometimes, when
the savings are small, yet in the ag

four hundred dollars a year. If the
individual couldn't stand out, the
family might have a thousand dol
