Leave your purse and watch at home when you go to the playhouse or an auction room.

Travelling.

When you take a journey in winter put on two shirts; you will find them much warmer than an additional waistcoat.

Building Repairs.

If you mean to buy a house that you intend to alter and improve, be sure to double the tradesman’s estimate.

Your Staircase.

Paint the steps a stone colour; it will save scouring and soap.

Housekeeping.

If you are in trade keep no more houses than you can support; a summer-house and a winter-house have forced many a man into a poor-house.

Enough should suffice.
