I see something that pleases" my fancy and straightway I buy it; only to find a little later that really I didn’t want it and that now I don’t care for it at all. “At least that Is the way I did do; but now Ido differently. Now when I see something that once I would have bought on sight I say to myself: *Do I really want that?’ and then I say to myself. ‘I will wait a week and see.’ “At first it was very hard for me to do this; but then I got myself under control and came to marage very well. "Often on the second or third day, when I have seen that thing still on sale, I have found that I no longer fancied it and then, of course, I was glad I hadn’t bought it; but **en sometimes when I found the thing gone, why, then naturally I Imagined I did want it; but on the whole I find this plan to work beautifully and now I stick to it faithfully, and certainly it has saved me from buying a whole lot of things 1 didn’t want; things such as I used to buy, that Brother Claude, in hie brusque way, called junk.”
