The $18-a-Week Man Has a Very Good Chance . . to Get Along in New York T&He Picks a Clever, Economical Wife, to Begin | With, the Problem of Home-Making Is Quite an Easy One. Young housekeepers, all over, are gaining a lberal education In thelr own qwoeation from reading the letters in The Evening World's “Paid tn Full con- test. These letters tell In full how a couple may live comfortably on $18 a week. Many of the letters go still further and explain how this sum not only st to cover all expenses, but allows for the laying up of a snug little bank ac ‘and supports two or more children as well. This Twentieth Century has been called an era of extravagance. There are countless people whose epistles prove that economy ts no lost art. Joe Brooks, hero of “Paid in Full," stole because he thought he could not make both ends meet on $18 a.week. Here are a few of the innumerabie letters that prove how mistaken he was: Works in New York; Brooklyn.
