(to be continued) Louisa’s Letter THRIFT DOES NOT MEAN BEING STINGY Dear Louisa: Most middle age people advise the younger ones to be thrify and save every penny for a rainy day, but I want to go on record as advising them to enjoy life as they go along. My husband and I were very ambitious when we were first married. We both came from homes where there was never money enough for anything and we decided to save every penny until we were independently wealthy and could feel secure. But we ran the thrift program into the ground. I went without new clothes, cold cream, finger waves, and my husband was just as careful in other ways. The result is that at forty-five we are an old couple and although we have a fat bank account we are neither of us happy. Our mar ried life has befen one long term of doing without things. I think now that if we had allowed our selves some of the pleasures of life as we went along we would be more satisfied today, even though we had less money. JOAN SMITH My Dear Mrs. amun: You are absolutely right in say ing that you have been too thrifty. Thrift carried to an extreme de feats the very end it sets out to achieve. You and your husband were striving for independence and security so that you could enjoy life and be happy. But you turned a virtue into a vice by becoming miserly. Instead of put ting aside a part of your income you tried to save it all. However, you are still young ! and if you ran rid yourself of the penny-pinching habit there may be many years of enjoyment before you both. Go to a good bauty salon, get a facial and a permanent, invite some of your friends to small din ners, get your husband to join the country club, go to a good movie, occasionally, take inter esting trips. Meeting new people and going to new places will broaden your outlook and you will discover that the world is still a very pleasant place, even though you are no longer very young. LOUISA. Wise Guy Slim—You seem to be extra busy, Jim. Jim—Yes, I’m writing a love letter to my girl. I’ve been working on it over an hour. Slim—Why are you taking so much pains? Jim—I want to make sure that if this letter is ever read in court it won’t make me look like a fool. fBL/UG ROUND NEWYOBK mjcii rrary That glitter of diamonds in a jeweler’s window is positively un pleasant, they are so many and so brilliant.

Unusual silver, leather, tapestries, millinery, gowns or foods? Walk up Madi son Avenue from 42nd Street to 68th or so—and take a large bankroll with you, for the street is lined with specialty shops of all kinds, many with smug and some with gorgeous windows. And some of them, unfortunately, spell it “Shoppe.” Sidewalk toy sellers work the year around in New York, shoot ing mechanical toys around and around, despite the perilous feet of hundreds of passers-by. Walk just ahead of the cop on 42nd Street between Fifth and Sixth and you’ll see one ; after another bootblack picking up his little box. The cops seldom run them in and when they do, it is usually on another street where some owner of a shine stand in side a building has complained that the street shine men are stealing their trade.
