Mrs.Chadwick has sent us only sixty-five dollars this month, instead of eighty-five.

Some of the boarders are behind in their payments.
The Darlings have gone away, and "she hopes to do better next month." Mamma cannot bear to press her, she is so kind and well-meaning; so do not for the world mention the matter to Dr.George.

I will write to him when I must, not before.
Meanwhile I walk to school both ways, saving a dollar and a quarter a month.

Have found a cheaper laundry; one dollar more saved.

Cut down fruit bill; one dollar more.
