Dear Miss Fairfax: I am a constant reader of your column, but never have written. I thought I would drop you a short lettar for young housewives to save and he happy. As I am only 20 and have two small babies, one a boy, and a girl. My girl Is 4, my boy 1. Have been married over five years. My husband also Is only 20. He makes $22 a week. We have saved $1,400 In our five years of married life. Faid doctor bills, rent, groceries, clothes and furniture. My grocery hill runs $15 a month; never over $18. That Includes every thing—milk, moat, bread, fresh fruit, etc. Rent Is $10 a month, furniture pay ments $20 a month, clothing.is about $50 a year (not a month). We spend no money on shows, dances or parties. I don't see anything In spending money on foolishness. Shows don't bring a person anything, neither does dances nor parties. While others go and spend $7 and $8 a week on a good time, and nothing to show for It, I put mine In the bank on fi per cent interest and make money. One good dress is plenty after you're married; a good hat lasts for a couple years, $5 Is plenty to pay for shoes and keep for good. Oh, I could write all day on how to save. Men think girls of today can't save like they could years ago. Well, Miss Fairfax, you will throw this In the basket perhaps, but I wish to see this In print, If It is not too long. A CONSTANT RRADER. P. S.: Please excuse this pencil tablet paper, as It Is all I have at present. You are a most remarkable and'.' unusual young woman to say the least. Would you mind telling me where one could find a house In Omaha that rents for $10 per month. That four people could possibly live on $15 a month, or 50 cents a day. Is Indeed a revelation In this day of high prices. I’m curious to know where you do your marketing and would he interested, as I’m sure my readers will be, In a few of your menus. A young matron, the mother of two young children tells me that her milk bill alone averages $8 a month. Shows, dances and parties are not all foolishness my dear. Haven’t you heard that old saying "AH work and no play makes Jack a dull boy?" Recreation Is an absolute necessity and the average individual enjoy* an occasional dance, a good movie or a social evening with his or her friends. It is all very well to be thrifty hut on the other hand one must have a little enjoyment. You owe It to your children to keep abreast of the times. Unless you read a great deal you will get In a terrible rut living as you do. C»f course one good dress a year would do under the conditions you have described but there are not many of us who would care to make such sacrifices. I would like very much (o make your acquaintance and hope you will give me this opportunity soon. At least let us hear from you again. Why Not lie Happy? Dear Miss Fairfax: I'm the most | Sorority Hostesses. The Misses Opal Wind and Helen Brennan were hostesses at a picnic for the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority on Monday evening. Why Is It? We all got rid of thp non-essentials dur ng the war and either gave away or threw away all things for which we had no use. Then Just why is it the lesson did some of us no good and that rubbish and non-essentials are once more crowding our cellars and storerooms? Kasy Hemming.

Then overcast Instead of hem. and the work will go more quickly and more evenly. I)---■ ■ — • • —■ ----- miserable girl In the world. Nothing ever comes my way. I see other folks having friends and good times and luck—but I’m doomed to misery. I never enjoy anything. In fact. I never had anything to enjoy. Life Is as dull as ditch water. I)o you think It’s worth my while to go on? Do you imagine things will ever change and begin to come my way? MABEL. Things can't begin coming your way, my dpar, until you invite them a bit more cordially. Happiness isn't a matter of what happens to us. It does not depend on circumstances nor yet on for tune. It is merely a matter of thought. It isn’t easy to control our thoughts. It Is easy to let morbid fancies run away with us. But most of the things over which we agonize are only fancies. Most of our an ticipated sorrow never comes, nnd if it comes, enduring it Isn’t half as bad as thinking about it in advance was. Actually we have a choice between misery and happiness. It is Just as easy to believe in our good fortune as in our ill luck. It is possible to he so sure of success that it becomes real. Discouragement, despair, horror are all mental. Fear is our worst en emy. And the minute we stop being afraid and feel confident of fortune nnd happiness, that minute we are happy—whether or not an actual cause for happiness Is ours. I'ndeclded: Under the circumstances I most certainly advise them to marry. However I would not keep the marriage secret. As long as the parents have no objection to the marriage It is far better to tell them. Adele Garrison “My Husband’s Love” The Way Quipt Was Restored to Madge's Home. Our descent into the accustomed comfort of our firellt living room seemed effectually to shut out from us the melodramatic happenings con nected with the escape of the boot legger and the discovery of the still across the road. Junior was still peacefully sleeping on the couch by the fire, and after a look at him Mother Graham and I went on into the dining room, where the Tlcers, father, mother nnd son were just finishing the dessert of the dinner, which Katie had planned, nnd Katherine and I had prepared. “I'm afraid we're keeping your Camping or Touring; Be Comfortable We Have Everything You Need CLOTHING—Knickcr and skirt suits for ladies.

Ticer saltl apolo getirally as we entered the dining room, "but Mr*. Graham and Mr*. Bickett would have It that we sit flown and eat first." "They wero perfectly right," my mother-in-law responded graciously, and I saw that the good humor into which my appeal for advice had put her was bomh-proof, "We are not nearly as hungry as you must be." She swept on Into the kitchen and I wasted no time in following her. Katherine was standing by the stove keeping a vigilant eye On the steam ing pots and puns, while Katie was stacking the dishes which had Just come from the Ticer table, "I take off my sunbonnet to dot Missis Bickett," Katie said in a whisper which was nearer a shout as I halted by her side. "She take two cans of dot canned soup und put some gravy and oder stuff along mlt, und feex bully soup, so dose Tlcers no so empty ven dey coom to schlcken und biscuits. Kef .she no do dat, all us Oder peoples get nodlngs but necks—dot Jerry he hollow clear troo. I guess I shnost gtf heem anoder piece of dot pie.” “That’s a very good idea, Katie,” I returned struggling with a laugn which. Indeed, escaped me as soon as she left the room, bearing the generous piece of pie for Jerry Ticer. "You’re a good strategist," I said to Katherine. "Desperation," Katherine rejoined smiling. "I’m fond of chicken and biscuit myself. Hish! Here come the Tlcers." I hepded the whispered warning promptly and swung away from the stove as our neighbors filed out— the head of the family engaged with a toothpick, regardless of the surrep titious elbow jabs which I saw his wife give hltn. "We’ll Just run along now,” Mrs. Ticer said briskly. “I'll have your uniforms for you tomorrow, sure," she turned to Katherine, "and I'll he over here—what time?" Her eyes focussed tactfully upon a point be tween my mother-in-law and me, giv ing the effect of speaking to both of us. “As early as you can.” my mother In-law responded promptly. "We’ll be ready to start In here any time." “I’ll be here at 8 o’clock, then,” Mrs. Ticer replied with equal promptness, and Mother Graham's face beamed at the assurance, while l privately wondered how even our energetic neighbor was going to manage her own work and Kather ine’s uniforms and be on hand at the hoiy she had specified. But that she would accomplish everything she had set out to do, I was sure, knowing Mrs. Tlcer’s effi ciency of old. And then she and her husband and the widely-grinning Jerry finally managed to get them selves on the other side of the door —leave-taking is an awkward ordeal for the Ticer men—and Katie, sud (lenly resuming the reins of culinary authority unceremonicusiy shoved Katherine and me from her domain. "Me. I feex now." she assured lis cheerily. “Ladles only in my way.” She grinned impudently at us. and as Mother Graham was already in the dining room, we returned her grimace as Impudently, feeling safe from a lecture upon the proper dis cipline for servants. "I’m glad you feel that way, Katie," Katherine assured her. "for I’m mighty glad to sit down n.l he waited on, but you mu*t be tired to death." "Dee* here vork nodingH hut play." Katie retorted, "but octp stair*! Oh, tny golly!" I bolted out of the kitchen, draw ing Katherine with me. for Katie's confidences are never low-toned. Mother Graham was already seated at the head of the table, and bore all th* earmark* of impatient wait ing. I knew that she was hungry and. Indeed, was surprised that she had not exhibited Impatience before. "I should think we’d waited long enough, Margaret,” she remarked acidly, "without your dawdling around that kitchen any longer. As it is, I'll venture wo don't get through our dinner before that mess across the road sends for you." I smiled at her prophecy, hut Katie had hut Just brought on the dessert when the doorbell rang per emptorily. Every Day Hint*. Rinse your brushes in cold water and it will stiffen the bristles.
