Show SAVING WOMEN. A saving woman at the head of a family is the very best savings-bank established. The idea of saving is a pleasant one; and, if the women imbibed it at once, they would cultivate it and adhere to it, and thus, when they are not aware of it they would be laying the foundation of a competent security in a stormy time and shelter in a rainy. The best way to accomplish it is to keep an account of all current expenses. Whether five hundred dollars or five thousand dollars are expended annually, there is a chance to save something if the effort is made. Let the housewife take the idea, act upon it, and she will save something where before she thought it impossible. This is a duty, not sordid avarice, but a mere obligation that rests upon women as well as men. |
