Just that little bit that will make all the difference between having the high cost of living cat up every available penny or having a few dollars to put away as n hest egg or spend as you please?

Very well then why not alo as thousands of other wonen are doing and make those extra dollars right at home? Earn them by doing for others something you already like to 'do for yourself, whether it's cooking, sewing, some sort of handcraft, gar dening or making rugs.

In other words, make that hobby of yours bring in some good tard cash.

You haven't a hobby?

Then get one. There are dozena and dozens of them you can take up. nny one of which, if you're clever at It, can be turned into #money- making venture.

Says Joseph Leeming, whose new hook. "Money-Making Hobbies," his "A habby Just been published; should be fun, something you really enjoy doing. But, as thousands of out. there are people have found scores of 100

variety proven money-making hobbies than has heretofore been avachable in any single volume."

In carrying out this purpose, he tells about people who have earned wood carving, making money by costume jewellery, decorating old tin trays, keeping bees, raising rabbits: by baking ples and cakes, cutting

gems, raising herbs, hunting wild- flowers, taking pictures, and doing numerous other things.

In a special section tied "Hobbies for Housewives.“ he describes how many women have found dollars in "the housewives's work of darning sucks, turning collars, repairing holes burned in dress, sewing on buttons, and otherwise keeping men's and women's clothing up to snuff."

Many of the hobbles discussed in the book are suficiently simple so that they can be learned from Mr Lecming's description of them. To do others well enough to earn money more defnite by them requires instruction, and

to meet this need, ilst of the author has appended books in which renders will find de- falled structions in the various crafts and other pursuits.
