How many of you apply the same simple arithmetic in your home? Well, you knew your -income for -the year, and ‘you know the -cost of keeping house. It amounts to a fixed portion of your income—let's say 75 per cent. Then in order to save, improve, or acquire, your expenses for the month | must never figure to be more than 75 | per cent of your income per month. For example, if your month s $100, then your expenses should not exceed $75.° If your in- icome is increased or decreased, then you may figure accordingly. That 75 i per cent figure is not a standard, it is merely assumed for: purposes of illus- | tratlon. It will vary with fncomes. { The larger the income, the smaller the i percentage ‘of it required for upkeep, | and the more reserved for savings and fmprovéments. This businessiike method | 1s automatic in its beneficial resuits. Cost of Keeping House. Your husband will tell you that the profits of the year past were the dollars in excess of the cost of doing business. In other words, if his firm did $10.000 worth of business at a cost of 52,000, then its profits would be the income minus $2,000. An attitude toward a thing may spell success or. failure in the subsequent undertaking of it. It is therefore recommended that the housewife re- gard the cost of keeping house as the cost of “doing her business.” In order to show any profits in the way of improvements, accretions, or savings, her “cost of doing business” must be less than her total income. A business man when figuring on a sale or deal figures the cost to him of the material, of both manufacturing or acquiring it, and ‘of reselilng .it. To that amount he adds the cost of doing business. If with all of these added costs it shows a. margin of increase when sold, then he knows it is sold at a profit, Home in Good Taste BY SARA RILAND, It {s & very natural thing to take a ‘lflro lace for granted, but without its | équipment of andirons, tools, bellows, broom, lighter, etc., it would be like a | table set for ‘a feast and no knives, | forks or spoons provided | The case, quickness and convenience with which a fire is started now is apt | to make us forgetful of the more trying times when the keeping of the fire Menu for a Day.
