long before Jim was out of the nursery
that whutever else other mombera of

Momohow Jim Douglas accepted this
decision without demur, and when

The day after hla graduation he
went to see hie Uncle James Wallach.

Jim thank«*«! hla uncle for hla good

would aak him to luncheon lake

well-estebllalied business. At the thresh

the nephew back.
“Ray. here's another bit of advice,"
he said. “No matte.- how little you get

get that for a start—"
"Save five dollar^“ commanded the
uncle. “You can do It. Black your

smoke. Limit your, elf to thirty cents
a day for luncheon. My limit was fif

Aa it ha|«|>en«>d James ivouglas had
just thirty live cents In hla pocket at
that time, so It s«*emed rather Impera

would be necessary for car fare. There
must be no tip—th« t meant a cafeteria
of some sort.
Inconsiderate now,
