The person who is hard on things does not take the extra few seconds needed to detach the appliance rly, but gives a tug at the cord. gn great length of time is required to have the fine wires within, separated from their contacts by such abusive treatment. Fortunately the habit of mind which goes with this sort of handling can be altered in favor of better methods, and is likely to be when one realizes the actual cost in dollars into which such carelessness runs in the course of time. Likewise, there is the con- - | structive side, that to mend one’s ways is better economy than to mend one's ‘belongin des being cheaper!

Certainly it would be folly to_give up your flance in order to stay home and take care of your mother, since in that way you could make no one happy. ‘Your mother would suffer, knowing of your sacrifice for her, and knowing that you had let your best chance of happiness go by, perhaps forever. You would be miserable, and even though you had the courage to stick to your job, you could not help feelings of “resentment and bitterness which would make your relationship with mother strained and unhappy. Your and there you I all spoiled because of your mistaken idea of gratitude. Your mother would rather work than have you give up marriage for her sake, G.

Tell him the truth, of course, and get all this worry and fuss off your mind. He will bly feel sorry that he has pestered you so much on this subject.” You two will have & more complete understanding just from the sacrificed & little bit m in order to tell him the honest now. ‘They have grown up and they're human beings| with their own ideas and opinions.
