It is natural in a New Eng- land town, where thrift is an unques- tioned virtue, that the fact that the President of the United ‘States pays $32 a month for his home—his land- lord raised him $5 when he became Vice President—would not seem re- markable, nor would any other evi- dences of personal economy. But Northampton people resent the suggestion: that he is stingy. James Lucey tells this story to confound the imputation: “Cal has never been a free spendin’ man,” the old shoemaker says, “but he's the most generous man for a thrifty man I ever knew.
