The Best Sometimes the Cheapest—
Things One Cannot Do Without in
Exercise, Diversion and Indulgence.
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.

BANNER SALVE
tho most healing salve in the world.
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.

The woman who wishes to be real
ly economical would better begin
her summer campaign by a piece of
apparent extravagance. Let her buy
a wheel and learn to ride it. 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.
