Men are mainly interested in the bulk of the family budget but wo- men's interest is with the details, he said, "We need the penetrating eye and the humane understand. fog of women to pierce the dense fog of red tape, patronage, fear of dismissal or political effect which is responsible for the inaction of the present government." 3 © THE "EYES" HAVE IT!

BY JANET DORAN CAST OF CHARACTERS IRIS IVES--a radiant bride who thought love came first and money could take care of itself. BART WHITTAKER--a right " eous bridegroom who looked at the bankbook first and his wife after- ward. + * * Yesterday: Bart and Iris: finally quarrel about eating at home; /Iris accuses him of begrudging these meals. So Bart gives in and they - decide to eat out for the summer. The Whittakers thereby burn a bridge behind them. CHAPTER VIII It was not surprising to Bart to discover at the end of that first week of hot, sultry July dining out that his budget had a crimp in it that made a sissy of the na- tional debt. It wasn't that they had eaten so much; rather, it was astonishing to recall that they had eaten less than ever, even than at home. Nor was it the things they did afterward, really. They went to so many movies dances and parties anyway. so hot, even long after sundown, that the. nights were panting, breathless ovens to move through in an ever increasing enervation made them reluctant to return to the little apartment. He bought more gas and oil for h's three-year-old coupe, and they covered miles along lake shores, into the country, just for the ride, and: the heavenly respite from heat. They ate at cute resort plac- es and danced, They went into air- conditioned movies, and to beach and swim parties. And all along the way, Bart's wallet fed a con- tinual_ dribbling stream. of small | change that-ajdéd up to alarming deficits af thaend of each week. - Must Make More Money In late July, the territorial man- ager of a radio and washing ma- chine agency in Boston approach- ed him to take on their line. Bart hadn't the money. But day by day, athletes and AEE rin Leaders In sport binary » pr par Lh wh a Hy energy wi Eid to Lop Crow And the fact that it was the conviction was growing on him thut the only solution open to him, to his problem, was to make more money, It was one of those squirrel-in-a-cage problems that no matter how you traveled; or how fast, brought you right back to the beginning each time, He had to make more money, becduse he was spending more than he could afford, so he hadn't enough money to try to make more money that he must have because, anlyso on. It was like that when the agent approached him. "You wouldn't need much, Mr. ~ Whittaker--a few hundred--say $1800 would cover everything. This is a high class line, and you'd clean up on it. And we wouldn't care to let the territory go to any dealer. We want a dependable, responsible man who can push our line and build solid market' for us." - Bart thought of his three insur. ance policies, all partly paid up. He thought of what they meant to him. Security for Iris, protection. A lifeline to leeward, in case of trouble or storm. Then he thought of the stagger- ing total of deficits, he remem- bered how Iris had picked up since they began dining out again and going places. She wasn't awfully strong, she was too slender, and her job was hard. And she was so sure she couldn't give it up, ever, Perhaps because she knew his in- come was inadequate, Obviously, he must make more money. Obviously he could not do it on a eash basis. And opportun- ity bunged on the Whittaker door, Afterward, Bart was to wonder at the ease. with which he bor- rowed $600 on each of his three insurance policies. Considering the anxiety, the worry and difficulty -of trying to make even the inter- est on the loans, it was astonish- ing -But then, he had never done -business on a credit basis before. He disapproved of it, and abhor- red all angles to. the dismal sys- tem. "We'll send your shipment right up, Mr, Whittaker--you can safe- ly advertise for Saturday specials. Our trucks will be here early Fri- day morning, 'and we're happy to have You in charge' ot our terri- troy." Ed * * ¥ A New Job Thus was Bart introduced to the credit system. And on paper, figuring even half the sales that his electrical shop averaged, he couldn't lose. Nor ould he escape gaining definitely, He'd make eas- ily as much as his present deficits amounted to. It was a -warm, a comforting thought, -. The -merchandise, when it ar- rived, was even better than Bart had hoped. It was easily worth the big, full page ad he ran in the 'Linwood Clarion, Thursday, Friday and Saturday announcing the new Moderneze Washer, and Moderneze Radio at unheard of bargain prices, "Come in and see them". They came in droves and hordes. They came, saw, and bought. And "MIDDLE AGE" WOM Thousands go thru this for helping female fune- tional troubles. Try i LYDIA E. PINKHAM'S 'VEGETABLE COMPOUND .

This is our chance, this' Bart's excitement rose to tremb- ling heights, as he sent in contract after contract for approval at the home office. It was difficult to believe go many people hadn't washers, radios, flat-irons, food- mixers, toasters and ironers. It just proved how New England peo- ple appreciated quality merchan- dise. The little stack of budget books dwindled, and the stock of mer. chandise had to be replenished oft- en. By the end of July, Bart cut his Clarion ad down to half a page, and only two insertions a week, By that time, the advertising man- ager was his earnest friend, advis- ing him on how to ave money. Be- cause to date; the Clarion had re- ceived no money for any of the advertisements, "They're selling like gold-bricks, Whittaker; cut your expenses now and let the thing ride on its own steam. There's no sense going in- to debt over your head, so long as they keep coming for the stuff." "If all my sales weren't on time- payment plan, 1d be so far ahead on this venture right now, I could take a month off and celebrate my good fortune," Bart explained, "Takes time to expand, Whitta- ker; don't let it get you down, Everybody buys on budget plan now, The cash customers aren't buying any more. They're hang- ing right onto their money until this blows over. Iv s up to the ered- it group, now." "I suppose so." "Bart," Iris said that night, "if we're to have a vacation, or semi. honeymoon. this year, it will have to be this month before the dean gets back. After that, there'll he no time for any of us." "I can't leave right now, Iris; this new agency is keeping us on the jump." . "If you hired another man, wouldn't you make more sales?" "We can't afford any more cx- pense on the labor budget, Iris, We took on one man, begitaing this expansion, and it mears les: money for me." "You're funny, Bart. You're selling washers and radios and el- eciric appliances like a bargain basement raid, yet you talk as if you were heading straight for the poorhouse."" "If it was cash business, honey; we'd be riding the crest of the wave, It's all credit. So much down, so much a week." Her eyes narrowed thoughtfully, tips of her extravagant little 'lat- tice mules of red kid. Then she sighed. ) + "If they pay every week, and others keep buying, I don't see why you aren't all right, Bart." "Look, honey, business is com- plicated finance. The down pay- ment on a radio or washer, déesn't cover the amount I had to borrow at the bank to stock the merchan. dise,: if you divide the entire sum by the items I hold. And the: pay- ments are not enough to cover my end of the restocking, as the goods are sold. You see, dear, credit bus iness is pretty much a big head- ache." i "But youre making money, Bart. You are. And even if it is hard work, that's all the more rea-- "I couldn't afford one week!" © "All right, "then. No. vacation, . And no honeymoon. It's a funny kind of marriage, Bart. You left all the romance on the doorstep, outside, the day you married me." "Iris, honey, don't you under- means we'll get somewhere, I can't drop everything now, and go gallivanting © off on 'some * non- sense." "If you consider? our honeymoon nonsense, Bart Whittaker!" "Look; sweetheart, you take two weeks off and go fo the shore, or to New York, or wherever _you want to, and I'll pay for every- thing. You have a good time, and I'll stay here and look out for ev- erything." "No! You think I van have any fun without an escort, Bart? Are you crazy? Whoever heard of a honeymoon ~ without - the bride- groom?" "I'm--just a tiréd businessman, honey." And business is so bad." "You just said it does good!"
