Few girls like to feel that they are “second choice.” This is a petty feeling that might be eliminated by any man who would frankly state the case. The girl of whom you speak had no cause to feel Inguited—but you might have saved Fer from this feeling of slight by sf appointment with a young lady.

Economizers By IRENE 'WESTON. We are all striving to be as economicai as possible nowadays—some in one way, and others in another. A good many, I |huve no doubt, are managing it more suocessfully a great doal than others. Many are the little expedients resorted to to attain the desirable end of ‘making ends meet.” A gopd many distihgul themselves in the manner in which they perform the desired feat. Isn't it wonderful what a lot of things we find other people might do without quite easlly? When it comes to ourselves, however, it is quite another mutter. I remember the story of a couple who sud- denly found it necessary to “draw in" to the extent of $1,000 a year. They thought the problem over, day by day, but its solution appeared no nearer, when the bright idea came to one of them—TI don’t know which—that the hus- band should draw up a llat of economies his wife might effect, by which she might save $500 a year, while the wife did ditto for her husband. There was the required saving at once. ““You see, my dear, it is so much easier for another to see one's extravagance [than 1t 16 for ome to recognize It one- solf." “Certainly.” | The drawing up of the list of economies the other matrimoniul partner might make ocoupied the two &lx evenings of & week. At the end the husband had a list of suggestions by adopting which his wife could save no loss than $¥0, while the wife had a list of extravagances committed by her husband—things he could “do without quite easily and really be the better without''—which would save no leas than $,126 a year. They did not speak to one another afterwards for a whole weak “I can’t make out,"”" sald a friend to me the other day, "“hew it is people who want to save don't eat porridge for breakfast Nothing llke it, and so cheap.” “But you don't eat porridge yourself, do you?" T asked, remembering the mut- ton chop I had seen him consume only an hour or two ago. i “Well, you see,” he replled, “porridge doesn’t agree with me. I'm one of those unfortunate persons with a pecullar di- gestion.” When it comes to practicing economies on ourselves, it {s wonderful how many of us haven't the digestions to stand them. When it comes to reducing our lttle luxuries we discover we mre pecu- larly delicately constituted individuals who really. couldn't do withbut them. If we could only bring ourselves to practic- |ing halt of the economies we prescribe #0 ruthlessly to other people, what & lot of ditference it would make in our bills? But I have known many people who have not found the slightest aifficulty in giving up luxuries to which they were used “when the pineh came.” A little abstinence from them showed that really they had ne reason to waste money on them. They were just as happy without them. ' A writer on social economy some time since told us how we got a luxurious habit, and how it enslaved us. In the first place, he said, we taste the luxury and enjoy it as a new sensation. It fa delightful. In the second stage, we still 80 In indulging In it, but the delight (s gradually growing less and less. In the third stage, it is giving us remarkably little pleasure—but it has become a habit. We can hardly tolerate the idea of giving it up. It s “the usual thing” with us, and wo “really don’t know how we should get on without it.” R Retrenching expenses satisfactorily de- pends, of course, very considerably upon cleverness, but much more ugon the spirit In which it is performed—whether oné regards it as a duty to be faced a cheerfully as possible, or a hateful ) necessity which Providence really has no right to impose on one.
