GETTING USED TO MONEY
It was curious what a strange, un
real feeling Edith Ferrol had toward
the new fortunes of the family. John
had repeated his toast at the Fern's
dinner party, every one standing with
smile-wreathed faces and glasses held
on high: "Here's an end to scrapping
and scraping and a health to harmcny
and peace!"
"Peace and plenty!" Ned Flowerton
had added in italics.
"You bet! Let's be extravagant and
happy for a change," John Ferrol re
sponded with a cordial clink against
Ned's glass. "A shopping trip for
yours, Edle, tomorrow morning!"
Edith had smiled and clinked and
tried to pinch herself mentally into
a realization that her money problems
were at an end. But somehow she
couldn't. She lay awake till dawn, her
mind a veritable arena .of thoughts
in crazy combat.
She seemed in some-strange way
to have lost the power of responding
to the call of prosperity. She' felt
Just as she imagined the pilgrims felt
who trekked painfully across the
plains in the days of the new West
too weary and worn with the fight to
be able to exult at sight of the reward
as last before them. .
Could this really" be the end of the
trail? Could it be true that she need
no longer toil and plan and save in
order that she might put food on the
table for her family and keep her
Yet," oh, how she longed to keep it!
How she yearned for it for her chil
dren's sake!
With the daylight and , the day's
duties, Edith .took a , more jiormal
view. She gave her husband 4 heart
ier good by kiss than usual. She tied
Virginia's blond mane with a new
eatin ribbon, to that young person's
delight, and small Jack wore his best
boots to school Instead of the half
soled ones whose nails be' indignantly
insisted "hurted his foots."
When the house was in order and
quiet, Edith sat down at her desk and
began making figures on a pad.
"John is to have $3,000 as a drawing
account," she began, setting $3,000
down on the paper. "Now, let's see;
20 per cent for rent, that'll be. about
$50 a month, $12 or so a week. Then
I shall allow 16 per cent for running
the house, that is, wages, light, fuel.
telephone, household equipment, etc.
Santa Claus Hasn't Appeared Yet This
Year, But Hell be Here For Xmas
Santa Claus must be spending all
his time with the French, Serbian
Armenian and Belgium children this
year and all the other children of the
war stricken countries for he has "not
appeared In the Richmond stores yet
this year to take little kiddies' orders
for Christmas. However he evidently
intends to get to this country in time
to make his usual rounds on Christ
mas eve, according to the report of
the shop keepers.
Little girls and little boys with
great round eyes are looking at the
wonderful toys and dolls that they
want this year. They stand In open
eyed wonder before the rows of dolls
and jumping jacks.

and 79 persons were present.
'An interesting Christmas program

of Mrs. Rachel Owens. During the

Members of the Tirzah aid society
enjoyed a Christmas party yesterday
afternoon at the home of Mrs. Anna
Engiebert on Sheridan street. The
house was attractively decorated with
Christmas colors. A light luncheon
was served by. the- hostess. Several
guerts were present. The club will
meet Dec". 31 with Mrs. William Pat
terson at her home on North Eighth
street.

street.
That she need no longer shoulder the
responsibility of her headstrong young
brother's adventures in life and fin
ance? That she could come out of the
kitchen and take up the beautiful
things she had dreamed of in her
girlhood music, perhaps, and the
learning of a language? Could she
wear expensive clothing instead of the
poor makeshifts she had known . so
long? Could she pay for the thorough
education of her girl and boy, give
them accomplishments, train them for
life?
What If the Excelsior Heater Com
pany didn't pan out? What if Ned got
flighty again? Or Fenn proved over
confident, in his desire to do some
thing for the Ferrols in return for
what they had done for him and made
fatul mistakes?
Edith felt afraid of her new prosper
ity. So long as she had been exerting
every energy of body and mind to
make things so, high hope had lived
in her heart. Now she felt like a
runner who strains every nerve to
ward triumph, and then drops down
exhausted. She had worked too hard
for it, waited too long. She had lost
the art. of spending money. Her purse
hand had grown muscle-bound. Strug
gle and disappointment had under
mined her confidence. She felt a
deadly dread that this piece of fortune
would fade like the others!

aside each week. ' Now 24 per cent for
insurance, education, gifts, books, doc

about $14 a week. We should spend
between sixty and sixty-five a week,
fand whatever dividends from the com
pany are we'll SAVE!" -
Edith surveyed her household budget
with satisfaction, for she had spent
hard study on her "percentages."
When John got home she showed it
to him with dimpling pride.
"Why. GIRL!" he laughed. "We'll
be making twice three thousand!
Come we can loosen up a bit more
than that! By the way, hon, I saw
a dandy little car today that I can buy
for a thousand!" ,

It ii safe to say that right here in this

in two weeks' time could make them
selves so healthy, so attractive and to
keen-minded that they would compel the
admiration of all their friends.
The vital health building elements that
these despondent women lack are all
plentifully supplied in Bio-feren,
If you are ambitious, crave success in
life, want to have a healthy, vigorous
bdoy, clear skin and eyes that show no
dullness, make up your mind to get a
package of Bio-feren right away.
It costs but little and you can get an
original package at any druggist any
where. Take two tablets after each meal and
one at bedtime seven a day for seven
days then one after meals till all are
gone. Then if you don't feel twice as
good, look twice as attractive and feel
twice as strong as before you started your
