"1 wish I could save money as some women do," lamented a friend of mine, "but every time I get a little ahead on my housekeeping €X- penses, there is always some old pieces of furniture to be replaced or some new garment to buy." "Why don't you meke the old things do a little longer?" I in- quired, "That's the only way that lots of people manage to save." She shook her head. 'Take this dress I'm wearing, for example; tsn't it a sight? I've had it three years. I'm ashamed to go around in it any longer, I need a new one desperately." : I studied her dress, It was a dark blue serge which, until that moment, I had thought fairly new. She had kept. it neatly pressea. If it had ever had any spots on it she had carefully removed them, To all ap- pearances the dress was In petfect condition, a practieal, becoming gar- ment. I told her of my first impression of it. "You see I pointed out, "i you hadn't told me that you have had it three years, I'd never have guessed that it was not in good re- pair. Now that you've called my Winnipeg and had many advantages. Business men got tired of constant demands and we are all tired of per- petual tag days.

For over three quarters of a century has the gun peen fired from the old fort and probably for much longer has the sound of a cannon shot told the dwellers in the neighborhood that it was half-past nine o'clock and time to be thinkisig of home. There are men and women all over Canada and many in the country to the south who will deeply regret the passing of this time honored custom.

Why did you tell me its im- perfections? The world is not near- ly so observant as you imagine; a garment always looks worse to its owner than to the casual glance of the outsider." "1 pelieve you're right!" my friend agreed, "I'll make it go an- other winter." Shortly after that I met another ¢riend who had reached the same conclusion. Her face nad that com- tented look always worn by peo- ple who have money in the bank (I have heard it called "smug" but I don't like that name!) She was wearing a tan summer sports coat of heavy wool material. Around her neck was a brown-dyed-red-fox neckpiece. "I've just saved $35," she told me jubilantly, "How?" 1 asked. She pointed to her fur. "I bought this for $25. I had planned to get a new $60 winter coat (my last winter's one fell to piéces in the spring!) but I decided to buy a $26 fur and wear it with this coat. It 1 feel chilly, I'll wear a sweater un- der it!"
