0 Nothing 13 more humiliating to a

A man rarely knows what economy—
I mean the true definitfon of the word

Then comes his lunch, followed by an~

given to her.” This is his idea. Her’s
would be another story.
The few dollars a week he gives her

liehappens to have handy—d0 not go
awry far with the constant demand for
the living expenses, replenishing
household supplies, hiring, etc., and

What money a man might easily save
