The very thought of go- ing about New York alone frighten- ed me. "We'll certainly try" appreciating my feeling. The next morning, as soon as we had eaten breakfast, Neil took the morning. paper and marked several advertisements. Then he took the addresses of several real-estate men further up-town "We shall have to go further than this to find something that suits my pocket book," he said.

"That is Huntington, this is New York. And we must live in a decent place. It looks badly for a man to live in a cheap locality." THere'is a common belief that wo- men are invariably to blame for a man's living beyond his means, That it is not always so--at least in the beginning, I am positive. 1 loved Neil so dearly at this time, that I wotild have been happy had we lived in one room so long as we could be together. Had we done so, it might have heen better for us both. Neil had a free way of spending, of han- dling money, that amazed mé. He did not appear to think himself at all wasteful, however, or that he bought anything we did not need. We tramped all day Saturday.

"We'll take this," agent; "But Neil, you said"-- "I know, but one sometimes changes his mind. We'll save the dif- ference in some way." That was Neil's way. He hated to deny himself; but he always excused his extravagonces by saying, he would save it some other way." As that way never seemed to arrive, I at first felt seriously worried. But as I have said, I had no slightest idea of the real value of money. Where mother had been saving, I saved too. Now that I was where it was freely spent, I too soon learned to spend lavishly, It is so easy to accommodate our- selves to the things which others do ~-80 hard to stand alone. We furnished our home slowly and carefully. Slowly because I would buy nothing without consult- ing Neil, although he had told me to go ahead--that I had good taste, and he would be satisfied with what 1 did. Chrefully, because 'I soon found that if Neil did not like any- thing the tossed it aside with as little thought as he had shown in paying more rent than he had declared he could afford. We had hired a general housework girl, but when I had objected to pay- ng such large wages, Neil had si- enced me by saying: "We'll take what we can get now, If a deal I have on goes through, we'll have a cook and waitress.' A certain feeling of well being was engendered by such remarks--a feeling that no matter how much I spent, it was all right, or in some way would be all right. It was a continual discounting of the future, with no thought that that future {might bring demands of its own, de- mands hard to meet, "Mananna" meant nothing but gobd to Neil.

"On the whole the Scotch are an admirable people, although steeped in foolish superstitions, and still await that uplifting spirit which tonly Germany could have given to the dark and benighted people of the world, that, alas is now denied them, and 1 can only hope that our friends on the Rhine who will be brought into contact with them for the next few years will, by example and precept, contribute to the edu- cation of -this pieturesque rage." a ing, it sometimes happens that in 1 FIVE DEATHS IN FIVE DAYS.

He also referred to the Intercolonial Railway, stating that it. was pe greatest "money- eater" in Canada and gave but little refurns. Regarding the policy of running railways, Mr. Carvell said: "You cannot make a success of a railway "unless politics are elimifat- d on rail- t that it fe three rail: have te watch."

Keep the people busy and there is no fear of the outlook." Ire Returned Soldier Problem. Touching on the problems of the returned soldier, the speaker stated that the Government was spending a tremendous amount of money to help the returned men. Along the lines of agriculture, it was arranged that any 'Ireturned man could buy a farm up to $4,000, and have twenty years to pay for it as a very low rate of inter- est. The Government, in addition to this,ioaned him $1,000 for; the pur- chase of stock and implements on easy terms of payment, and an ad- ditional loan of $1,000. And this investment on farms would not be lost. The money would soldier does not make good on the land. The returned man was en- titled to everything the country could do to put him into a position for mak- ing his own living. "The men who volunteered were the biggest men in Canada," said the speaker amidst loud applause. "And now when they are home, they will be treated not as big men, but as bigger men, and not as children, Ev- erybody appreciates the sacrifices these men made. They will be much better men In every way. If possible they should be given the position they hag before they left for overseas." Hon. Mr. Carvell had some point- ed remarks to make about the gen- . {eral financial condition of the coun- try. "1 do not think that I could be harged with being a pessimist," he id, "but I do like to look things ware and fair in the fagg. I thiiik the people of Canada should be taught the financial situation." Hon. Mr. Carvell then proceeded to point out that before the war there was what was now regarded as a very small public debt, that of $330,000,000. This did not cut any figure, and the finance minister had no trouble whatever in raising money whenever he wanted to. However, at the end of this calendar year, our public debt would be_.at least two This amount was even more than we could. conceive. 'The interest on this amount each year amounted to $1190,000,000 or $115,000,000. The pensions would cost $60,000,600. And this had to be pald, as it was a duty the country owed to the men. Then there were $10;000,000 for hospitals, as the wounded men must be cared for. The country would be called upon to raise $160,000,000 or $170,000,000 more every year now than any year before the war. In view of all this, one might ask the questipn: "How far can we go?' We must go of, and the speaker declared that there must be more taxation to raise the money. Canada was a new country and must be developed. The peaker alge declared that we mast have more people; not just now dur- ing the period of reconstruction, but afterwards we must get more people to locate. There was room for more in the west and also in Eastern Can- ada. "We must have more people, more business, and more export trade.' said Hon. Mr. Carvell, in his closing remarks. "We cannot get rich on swapping jack-knives. There is a duty testing on every of employer fabor. He must keep in business no matter if the profits are muoh smaller tham he formerly had.
