Some time ago a clever man—or perhaps it was a woman-^-started the idea of an “only” box. Into this were to be dropped the coins that were saved from small indulgences. The man who went without an extra cigar or glass of beer, the woman who re trained from ice cream soda or cara mels or saved carfare by walking, de posited the sum thus gained in the • only” box. After a certain period or on the occasion of a need of some specific kind or for the sake of some particular cause the box was opened and the accumulated amount devoted to the object chosen.

The i(b*a was excellent—in a way. There can be no doubt that we all spend small sums of money in fool ish fashions, in buying some things we are as well off without. These sums, if lumped, would make some thing worth while. But there is dan ger in the scheme. One drawback was pointed out by. I think. Chauncey M. Depew, or some one equally well known, when he said that the econo my which induced the man to refrain from bringing home flowers to his wife or from granting her some other trifling pleasure was a worse mistake than extravagance. There are some savings that cost too much for any one to venture to indulge in them. Are not many of the things that are denied more valuable than the money they would demand? I am not speaking of such obvious blunders as wearing out a quarter’s worth of shoe leather to save a nickel’s car fare. or ruining a handsome gown on a stormy day sooner than pay the price of a cab. Everywhere women and men are guilty of this form of stupidity. But I refer now to another variety of economy, which is equally to be condemned. We all know the man who never has time to get away from his busi ness, the woman who is never able to leave the house, except to go to church or to market. Both enjoyed a little pleasure when they were young, probably. Perhaps they kept up diversions for a while after mar riage, and thought they would never let themselves grow old or slip into the staid, dull ways they had criti cised in their seniors. But little by little cares crept in and they drifted into the way of the stay-at-home. When there were babies, or when the business required constant nursing, the habit was formed and the custom of economy of time and money con tinued when the real need for it had passed away. We hear much talk of the habit of extravagance but I sometimes think that the habit of hoarding is more inveterate. It mat ters not what one hoards—money, time, strength, effort. The result is much the same—an indifference to everything else. It is well for those who save in this way to ask themselves why they do it. What do they win by it? The man who stays constantly at his bus- : iness may plead perhaps that he Is 1 making a provision for his old age and for those who will come after him. But what is the plea of the wo man who stays at home? She may I say that she hasn’t time to go about, that she needs all her leisure to I keep her house in order amf all her ! spare money for some uncertain fu- \ ture. It is worth while for her to ■ take half an hour off some day and determine what she is going to gain in exchange for all she is giving up. I do not for a moment approve of women neglecting their homes for the sake of running about out of doors. 1 That mistake is as big as the other. : But there is such a thing as a middle course—though this is not often pop ular with women. The woman who makes her one idea that of keeping her house in spick and span order pays pretty dearly for her indulgence. She thinks that there is nothing of more impor tance than for her to save money for her husband by economizing in ser vice. She therefore does us much of her own work as possible. To do this she must deny herself outdoor exercise. So she pays the price of her complexion, her health, and often her temper. All these are sacrificed to the saving of mere money. It is a absurdity to call this economy. It is instead absolute thriftlessness and extravagance. Someone has said, that “economy becomes dreadful only when some lightning flash of truth shows us that our painful frugality has been really the most lavish waste.” Such a light ning flash must come to every wo man sooner or later, when she appre ciates the fact that she has worn her self out. lost youth, health, good looks 1 and the capacity for enjoyment in the effort to same money and gear. The sooner the lightning happens to flash in her neighborhood and wake her up to see things as they are, the better for all oncerned. The best way in which a woman can fit herself to see life steadily and see it whole is by getting into the fresh air. By the time her body has been there for a while her mind will be clearer and she will be able to perceive for herself how mistaken are some of her economies. When sho gets into the outdoors, when she has had the exhilaration that comes from a long sweeping walk, or an inspiriting spin on a wheel, she will look at life from an entirely differ- ! ent point of view. She will wonder why she ever thought it more impor tant to dust every nook and corner of tho house every day than it was to fiii her lungs with pure air. She will see that it was a poor economy to make her own frocks instead of having a dressmaker in once in a while and gaining the opportunity to read the new book or learn the new song or devote herself to giving her husband a jolly evening, such as they used to have when they were first married ami took it as a matter of course that there should be an occa sional little supper and a small party of friends to eat it. She will learn that it is not economy to put a few yards more trimming on the chil dren’s clothes instead of getting their garments ready made and thus sav ing the time to give herself to her growing boys and girls, in indoor and outdoor sport. When the sensible woman has once waked up to this state of affairs she will set about making a change in her habits. She will bring fresh air into everything—conduct, thoughts and all. She cannot expect her chil dren to come to her, in the position of mind and body that years have won for her. Instead of this, she must go to them and bring them up, if possible to where she stands. She may make them more mature by this. It is very positive that she will make herself younger. More than this, she will get a better acquaint ance with her children than she lias ever had before. If she has been sav ing time by staying at home and working for them she will find some thing pathetic in the joy with which they will greet her arrival among them, the share she takes in their occupations. Children are loyal little creatures. To their mind there is no one like the mother, as a companion, and it is eminently worth while for her to economize on her own employments and pleasure for the sake of sharing in theirs. Let her follow Froebel’s advice and live with her children. 1 Let her try to forget for a little that she is grown up. If it is summer, let her go fishing with them or boating with them or wheeling with them. If it is winter, let her join in their house games and if possible in their outdoor sports. I know of nothing prettier than an amicable game of snowball between mother and sons, in which the gallantry of the little men prompts them to throw only soft balls at "mother.” With the coming of warm weather there is the opportunity offered for a life out doors. This is the time when the heart of the small boy or girl may he made glad by the picnic or the all day excursion into the woods or on the waiter. Probably the mother may think it rank extrav-' agance to give up all or even part of j a day to doing nothing but play. In \ reality it is a wise economy. This is the way in which she is laying up some things more valuable than mon ey or labour. She is gaining health and colour and improving her com- plexion and winning the hearts of her children.

All na ture is then open to her, and the ex cursions of which her children have told her await her discovery. Very often she may not think they are all the youngsters have thought them— but she won’t tell them that. Even if the day has not been supremely in teresting. the woman with a mania for economy may take comfort in thinking of the headaches and tired nerves she has saved herself during the days to come by the oxygen she has inhaled and the exercise she has given her muscles. Putting aside everything else, the woman who has a husband and chil dren should bestow very serious thought on what she is to mean to them. We keep nothing, as we gain nothing, in this life, without working for it, and the love and confidence of those about you is no exception to the rule. The loyalty and understand ing of the husband may hold him to the wife, even when she becomes a slave to petty household economies. The children’s devotion will last while they are children, but as they grow older they become interested in outside things. They seek sympathy where they can find it and the mother sees herself left without it. Big Line Sample Straw Hats. Line includes the very latest shapes and makes, includ ing Panamas.
