ON SAVING MONEY.

ADVICE BY A POPULAR NOVELIST.:

די

For the far large number of us, who wish to succeed in a general way, whether in commerce, the learned professions, the arts or the sciences, the proper organization of the badget, the common matter-of-fact worldly budget, should be the first pre- Occupation," writes Arnold Bennett in an article on "How to Make the Best of Life" in the Brand Magazine. "The relations of any individual with the world at large are decided, not by the private casons of the individual, but by the canoes of the world at large.

"None of us can deal with the world on his own terms. Security must be paid for by the strictest adherence to the principles laid down by the experience of mankind gathered and matured through scores of centuries From the first moment when he assumes control of his budget, youth eaght to commence saving, and be ought coa! sistently to continue to save. No matter how small his revenue, he ought to save. If saving involves depriving himself of tigari etter, cinemas, fancy socks, or batter upon his bread, still he ought to save, he ought to | perform a miracle and wave. He may be able to save only a very little, u trifle, a mere nothing he ought to save. It is the habit of aring that counts, not the sum saved.

"Savings are a weapon which no one can afford to disdain. The world is a dark forest infested by brigands and tigers; savings ara the gun of defence. Without savings a man is at the mercy of an illness, an accident," a war, a trade collapse, the raprice of employer. And there are tens of thousands of individuals, and not only young individuals, in London and New York today who have nothing between themselves and calamity but the coins in their pockets and the wages due to them next Saturday. This is a strange and very disconcerting fact, but a fact it is. The bulk of these tens of thousands of individuals are careless fools, guilty, of who smokes a the lunacy of the man

"Further, and in addition to saving in luid money, the youth ought to insure his life Insurance companies who have cultivated the craft of plausibility to an amazing degree, affirm to the youth that it) is cheaper to insure oneself when young, I once asked an insurance manager to explain to me why insurance companies treated the young man more favour ably than the old. I inquired whether they dil it for the fan of the thing or from a bigh-minded intention to improve the moral character of the Ги He naturally had to admit in reply that insurance companies do not treat the young more favourably than the old and that they treat people of all ages in precisely the same hard, business-like style. It is not

CHANGES IN THE BALL- ROOM.

THE OLD WALTZ IN'A'NEW FORM. Eccentric dances are now being banned, we are told, in American ballrooms, and in their place the waltz is coming into favour again. In this country," Mr. Alex. Mackenzie recently said to a representative of The Observer, freak dancing has never been seen, except in those places where one would expect it.

Whilst we appreciate clever ideas in dancing, we have always developed them Crude, expressions do on our own lines. not fit our temperament at all. The fox. trut, for example, although an American dance, has in English ballrooms an im- merse amount of English work in it. We have in fact, in England the finest bull- roum duncers of American dances,

During the last three months a hundred and fifty teachers in Loaden dathe "pro- vinces have been receiving instruction in the lengo from a South American professor from Paris. They may be expected to pass on their instruction to their pupils, and as there is plenty of tango music now" available and our baliroom musicians are learning to play it in the right time, it may be expected that we should see much more of this dance in the future than we have in the past..

The one-step, on the other hand, is rather dying out. Since its introduction tors. There are no longer any intervala in there has been a great change in, the ball- the programme, and with continuous dane ing the one step has become too strenuous.

The waltz is now steadily coming back into the progrumme; but it is the waltz in a developed form. The old-time waltz is found rather monotonous in these days. Io place of the three even steps there is a longer movement in the first. The dancer shortens his height and makes a bigger ware, which synchronises with the wave in the music. This new movement in the waltz is rather like skating."
