The Story of Her First Efforts to
Economize.
(Written tor This Paper.
Hh future was golden
with promises to the.
now Mrs. Skipping.
At the time of the
marriage that event
was announced in the
Clovcrcamp Express
under the head of "A
Notable Wedding,"
and the special cor
respondent had the
enterprise to send it
with that caption to
the city papers. It
was only in a local
journal, however, that
a list of presents was

pivon, together with a description of the
bride's toilet aad the statement that sho had
long been a reigning belle of the region. In
a congratulatory paragraph in another
column tho bridegroom' abilities were ad
verted to ia a complimentary manner, and
the belief expressed that, though newly ad
mitted to tbe practice of tho law, it would
not bo Ions; before his influence was felt
upon tbe bar in their neighboring city of
Chicago.
Wo wiH kward a year, or, at most, two'
said John Skipping, "and by that time.
Maria. I shall be able to givo you a homo of
your own."
So thoy began their wedded life in a flno
brown stone boarding houso on Crush
street.
To say tbey were young and hopeful
would not cover the case; they wero young,
appallingly ignorant and iwrfcctly assured.
John faced tho world with a eollczo gradu
ato's all-conquering egotism, and Maria
lived In him.
As long as tho flvo hundred dollars
Maria's father had given her lasted, John
went radiantly every day to his neivly
rcated office, had an accent of Jovial pros
perity in his voice, walked with the elation
of good .digestion, and to those about him
who wore grubbimr hard in tho fo rents of
difficulty sccmod always to bo in offensively
high spirits.
Maria wore her pretty country toilets,
looked out the bargain sales in the daily
Mors and stiopitcd assiduously wherever
a cheap lot of gloves or au umbrella sacri
fice was to bo found.
But to John's amazement first, and grow
ing dismay afterward, his oftlce door re
mained unshadowed by s single client. lie
had moments of secret apprehension which
canto with a hungry void at heart, as if all
his courasu had beou digested and assimila
ted and without a new supply ho should
starve to death. How should he confess to
his wife that thoy wero living without income!
Did not her friends aad his friends at
home belicvo thoy wero walking tho high
way of prosperity ? and how should ho own
that, tossBSsl. it was poverty's brambllng
pnth along which he staggered so hotwlessly I
At tho rate ho was going it could not be
long before ho would be rent to tatters,
weary and even bleediag with scratches and
flint cuts.
At the end of six months their landlady
began to Insist upoa weekly payments; she
even hinted to Maria that they must bo
more prompt. John resented this, and they
indignantly changed thoir quarters, ho tak
ing care it should be In a less expensive es
tablishment. The next step was tho abandonment of
his office down town. After a wi?k or two
of vagrant days heat longth secured a re
porter's position on an evening paper.
whcre more money could be made than at
theksw; vttereoUapse was averted by this
timely aod fortune.
stall this while John had been crowing
moras. When Maria's daily routine of
dry-goods, packages and bric-a-brac came
bomo ho asked rather petulantly what
aattortha sua she expected to do with all
thatraabisn.
"Maria, I think if we ever expect to be
rich wo ought to deny ourselves some things
now, and lay up a llttlo." ho said.
Maria cauld aot help the look or reproach
which flashed over her face as she an
swered: "Of course, John, you know I'm
.naturally economical. H I have any thing
toClm I at ways go to the cheap places.
I'm justae prudent as I can be."
"But whV buy at all." John groaned la
ward ly; but truo to his manly reserve, he
said aloud:'
"I know you arc prudent my love. What
I mean is, can't we out of my salary in
come, I mean, put a little in the bank each
year, against a rainy day ! Wc ouht to."
'Why, of course we can, John, I told you
I'm perfectly willing."
"It needs something besides being will
ing," retorted John rather hotly. "Can't
we can't we retrench a little in some
wav!"
What John called the pepper-box in
Maria's chin begaa to appear a little nerv
ous quiver' rery Uko the wrinkles oa the
surface of water before a squall.
He hated tears and made haste to explain
himself.
"laamotscoldiag you, dear love, this is

John pulled off his rubbers, expecting of
course the whole story would be forthcom
ing without effort oa his part. Bat Maria,
who sat rocking in her little willow sewln.?
j chair, did not proceed, and the only sound
in tne room waa tho ticking of the two dol
lar clock John had given her for a Christ
mas present.
"An idea, eh J" John repeated, wiping the
moisture out of his blonde mustache and
standing over tbe register.
"Yes, it came to me all in a twinkling."
Something in tho tidy line?"
''No; it's something about saving money.
You'd never gaess if you should try a thou
sand years."
Tbon I hadn't better try," said John, not
as piqued as she could wish.
"If you don't caro to know " she ven
tured. O, but I do," he averred. "I'm a fa
mous dullard at guessing, though, you
know."
Sho had risen now and taken hold of one
of the buttons of bis coat. It waa her habit
in her thoughtful moods to travel up these
buttons, one by one, slowly, with minute
examination, until she bad reached the top,
when their eyes wero sure to moot, and she
to laugh and call him a goosclct or a grizzly,
as his and her mood chanced to be.
"Well," she began -but you wont say
it's Just like a woman, will you?''
"I hope it is just like a woman, for then
it's sure to bo very sweet."
"Fol-de-roL John, I'm too old for that
kind or flattery."
"What a diplomatist you are, thought you
reveal by concealing. You show so much
finesse I begin to suspect you've been run
ning in debt"
She ignored this suggestion.
"John, it's Just the beginning of the year.
Now what do people do tbe first of the
year?"
"Swear off," John rentured timidly.
"Nonsense, I don't mean cigars."
"Upon my sacred word 1 haven't touched
my piw."
"Nor pipe, neither! It's about my own
excuses. I'm planning to avo in little
things the dimes and nicklcs, you know."
"Maria, I wish I were a Mormon uud that
you had a dozen sister. There's such good
material in your family for wives. Co ahead,
though."
"There's only ouo way to do it and that
is to keep account of every penny."
"flood heavens, a journal!"
"No; justaaacount I'm going to set
down every cent I spend, and add it all up
attliecndof the year aud see how much it
is."
John laughed. Maria had not heard such
a roar from him since before they became
economical.
"It's always so, John Skipping," she cried.
abandoning the buttons and going over to
tbe plant that stood by the window, and
pinching u dead tip from one of tho long
green leaves.
John tried to smother his amusement
"What is always so?" he said, "house
plants! Are the cat-tails almost ripe?" as
sho drew the blades of green through her
nervous finger..
For answer sho gave tho leaves a pettish
toss, and tho heavy pot rolled over on tho
Moor.
"Whew!" said John, "another blizzard
coming! Rising, followed by falling bar
ometer!" "John Skipping, you're enough to pro
voke a saint" she half sobbed.
'I hare done so already," he said ten
derly. "Come, I will be serious. You were
speaking about accounts. Let's not make
any aceoaat of that eae, bat proceed under
a suspension of the rales af the housa,"
"Beat try to he -fanny, Joha, 1 aw so

"So am I so am I."
"I will begin this very day if you will
show sae how. I ought to hare a blaak
book, oughtn't II"
"A bank book f I wish to heaven you had."
"No, a blank book. Come, you rule it and
fix it for me."
John gave her a little memorandum book
from his own pocket tried to Instruct her
in double-entry, which sho could not in the
least understand, and so for that evening
the subject was dismissed.
At tbe end of the month John found him
self in'lncreasing perplexity which his wife
did not comprehend.
"It's dreadful times in business, Maria,"
he said gloomily.
"John," she said with trembling voice,
"You're not going to fail, are you I"
Joha hid a grim smile with a sadden
twirl of his mustache.
"Better men than I are going to tho wall
every day. Maria," he said solemnly.
Woald she nerer fled oat he" was aot in
busiaeas for himself, nor ever had been
really, unless be fired it at her from a cata
pult! Would this precious feminine infant
nerer discover be was not the hero her
maiden fancy had painted him. aided by
fulsome items ia thecoantry newspapers!
To her the glamor had never fallen from any
thing but his disposition.
"John Skipping," she murmured pal
pitatingly, "don't keep aay thing from ate.
it is say duty as your wife to cheer you and
help you. Hare you lost money, Joha I"
"Not much," another fierce twirl of the
mustache being aeoeaaary to cover hie
ease of the lu Jicrousaess of her qaesUoa.
'Not much, Maria, bat yon know upoa a
young man whose only capital is his braia

-Well, Joha, there's oee comfort,

"It was a very little bunch.w

"Just three bulbs and glasses. John. Of
course I could have done without them."
"Ribbons for sachets, 12.15; powder.

ets, 12.00."
Interspersed throughout this was car fare
every day, and quite as frequent a recur
rence of caramels. As John read his wife
became silent; he could not see her face.
Ho made a rapid summary of tbe items,
no more embarrassed by sevens and nines,
Maria observed than she would have been
by fives and oughts. Nor did she once de
tect him in adding by means of his fingers,
which gave her an increased opinion of his
business capacity.
He announced the result, W 5?.
"O, John, why do you so delight to tease
me!" cried Maria, with a nervous little
laugh, "it can't be half that"
John mado another agile computation
nloud to verify the first; Mrs. Skipping
grew fairy dizzy at the buzz of the addition.
She had seated herself from sheer weak
ness, and John could'nt help a feeling of
pity as he saw how pale she was.
"I was so certain I hadn't spent any thing,
John, she gasped.
"O, never mind," he said, cheerily,
"what IsSJOtoa bloated bond-bolder like
me."
Then she fell to sobbing in earnest
"Let's itemize this again," he said, pick
ing up the terrible book. " 'Doctor's bill 1'
it's only fair to mark that out; I'm just as
likely to be sick as you are; 'hot water
bag!' cross that out, too, for it is essen
tially a family article be good for cold
feet; 'roses for friend!' we wont lettaoC
stand, for politeness should never be con
sidered an extravagance; 'gloves for forty
nine cents ! that's so shamefully cheats
'twould be money in your pocket to'bud
more," and so on facetiously to the eny
of the list
A silence followed this generous reading,
varied only by small sniffs from Maria's
crying, which had now reached the chronic
stage whero tears cease and little gasps at
regular Intervals aro tho only external
symptoms.
At length John spoke.
"Maria!"
There seemod such an awful solemnity in
his voice that Maria's suspiration immedi
ately became normal.

"Maria, 1 am twenty-six year olil, nm:
you well, if you were a man you ctulc
vote. Kowdou'tlct'sbo children any longer
Wo aro at odds and aeting fiHilish onlv Ihi
cause I am not candid with you. Don't cry
another tear, but come and sit by inc."
Sho wont pladly to thu chair he indicated,
docile always when ho chose to bo serious.
"You see. Maria, a fellow hkos to lo
thotipht well of. He don't want to announce
to the world, nor to his wife, sinco both con
cede him to lie young, strong gifted, edu
cated, prosiwrou, that ho failed miserably
in his bo.isted profession, and thut he now
nets only ?I.r per week. It sounds anoma
lous. It reflects on his capacity. It lowers
his standard. It's far plcasanter to bo
thought iocI:uting big fees, and to be looked
uiwn as tho possible cuidinsr spirit in some
stupendous public scheme, isn't it"
"I suppose so."
"A fellow in college has plenty of time to
inflate himself. It's only after experience
has punctured the wind ba? that it is pos
sible to know its true size or carryirg
capacity. Since I graduated the world has
heard no voice from me except that of
escaping gas. You and tho friends in
Clover-camp thought it tho music of the
spheres. In Chicaco they call me a 'blow
hard.' It's vulgar, but it's pretty near the
truth, I guess."
"O. John."
"Why. Maria. I thought I was a rreat
man: I didn't deceive you any more than I
did myself. I thought the whole world was
waiting for me. and that I could pick up
riches with one flexile condescension of ray
spine. I had only to stoop so. eaily. and I
had a pocket ftilL Hut the world wasn't
waiting I had to scramble hard for my f 15
per week place precarious at that"
"Why didn't you tell me, Johnr"
"I was my own dope, and In say egregious
vanity I dragged along with me you, my
little winsome country sweetheart You
believed I was a great man a man of .
affairs, didn't you. Mari.il"
"I believe yet you will be, John. I am
sure you will."
"I ought to bo to justify your faith, but I
never shalL I am Just an ordinary, common-place
fellow, well and hearty, and
deuccdly yes, deucedly poor."
"But John don't you practice law."
"Maria, I never had a client I do odd
jobs whenever I can. to eke out my scant
wages. I'm in debt and Just manage to
keep soul and body together."
It took many minutes for Maria to adjust
herself to this confession.
Why didn't you tell mel" was all that
she could say.
"I hare often thought If we had a little
home ever so little, it would be more like
living."
"O. John, that's what I say. over so little,
out on the prairie aay where, except in
this coo py, dingy little room and with these
dreadfully common people. 1 coaid econo
mize there I know I could. You can cet
such beautiful bargains in tin things, and
china is so cheap."
-O, but there's no chance! I couldn't
rent a dry-good box, much less bay oae.
And if I could we'd have to lire In the cran
nies with the mice for I couldn't furnish it"
"But papa could, aad he would, too. Yoa
know he said on our wedding day. whea wa
were ready to live ia a good, sensible, old
fashioned way he would help as. HI write
hia; this rery day."
And she did; aad the plain old country
