THE WISE U8E OF MONEY.
The True Meaning of Economy Is Not
Saving Carefully.
"We had a discussion tho other day
on economy," said Cynthia, "and wo
found that It did not mean not upend
ing, but, rather, the best use of one's
means, so that we may talk about tho
economy of the very rich as well ns
the economy of the not rich. She who
spends $10,000 a year on frocks may
spend It economically or bralnlessly;
In fact, economy means administra
tion tho administration of ono's
Qieuna
"Another thing we decided was that
tha cleverest economists of small
means were those who had bad at
some time or other the liberal educa
tion of being rich. The woman who
has had always to economize ts only
partly educated. She must, to be re
ally successful, have had either the
administration of larger means or else
miuU have had examples close to her
from which she could copy. And In
this conectlon I always remember a
story I heard of a moderately well
off young man who chose as his wife
one of the daughters of a $1,000 a
year clergyman, thinking she would
be so versed In economies she would
make the very best use of his Income,
flut a hideous surprise awaited him.
She had not tho least Idea what to do
with greater means; In fact, she made
a wretched appearance before the
world with his Income, and finally- got
Into debt. The unfortunate young man
would have had his household infinite
ly better administered by a girl
brought up In a rich family, who
would have learned how to get the
best value for a good household allow
ance. There Is no mistake about It
that spending needs education as well
as saving."
Full Evening Dress of Long Ago.
This was a fashionable full dress
for evening In the year 1809. In those
days. I wonder, were girls worried In
their sleep by dreaming that they
found themselves In their night gar
ments out in the cold world alone?
