You cun buy wherever you can get the most for yonr money, some things at one place, some things at an other. You are in a position to take advantage of any genuine bargains that may be offered anywhere. At the same time you always know exactly where yoa stand. When yon run an account you don’t know what you're np against until the bill comes In the first of the month, and then It's always more than you expected. If there’s a mistake or an overcharge yon can have It corrected at once If yon. are paying cash: If yon are doing business on credit yon probably won’t know any thing about It at all.

The first recorded outbreak of tb<" plague In Europe occurred In the six teenth century.

But such a shifting of responsibility Is In itself a com Suppose that he Qtvct fession of weak- you half hit talarv. ness or incapa bility and. beside* places so unfair load on tbe wife. Tbe better plan to based on the Idea of equal partnership, equality of Income, equality of expense and equality of profit. That Is to say, let him divide his salary with his wife, etch assume responsibility for half of the fixed expenses of the household, and cadi have the right to spend or save his or her share of the remainder without question from tbe other. That gives the wife a definite standing In the economy of the household; R makes her financially Independent, and at the same time places an obligalioh upon her which she Js not likely to ignore.

Don't stint There Is a broad differ ence between stinginess and economy. Drew as prettily and as stylishly as you can, have all the comforts and luxuries you ctn properly afford, but keep within yonr allow once and al ways aim to have a margin st the end of the week. Whether It's big or little, have a margin, and then yda are always on the safe side, also the saving side. Put tbe margins sway somewhere—tbe bank’s the best place—and keep them.
