NEW YORK, July 30-Surely one can
buy almost everything for almost nothing
these days. The bargain counters in the
city stores arc vieing with each other In
prices that are very low. Just take a run
into town for day or two, and you will be
surprised, if you enter the shops, to find
them crowded in spite Of the summon
exodus. This morning entered one to find
an extraordinary confusion. and more reck-
less pushing than usual. For, though New
Workers. are proverbially good-natured and
obliging in crowd, think the New York
shopper must be exempt. For she has abso-
lutely 70 conscience and no feeling Of any
sort. She simply steps over her victim,
and never SO much AS casts one
backward glance to discover the extent
of the damage wrought.

a table piled high with soft wooden checks
and stripes, marked at 20 cents yard ,

but something marked exactly the same,

But when a woman can buy gauze shirts
for 10 cents apiece, in all the dainty colors,
stockings all sizes and styles and colors for
the same price, ten ties for 81 cents, white
shirts for A. cents, gloves for 10 cents, dark
blue shirts from ~ to 50, shirt waists for

last, but not least, shot silk

though no woman could possibly have any
trouble in procuring a summer outfit for
next to nothing. Then ginghams can be
had for 5 cents verd, outing cloth for s
cents dimities, fresh and sheer for II cents,
shifting cambrics for 4, and a great many
other materials for about the same price.
SO that it wouldn'E be very difficult mat

A turquoise silk waist matched the dots,

A fishing party that starts out next week
will include at least one very pretty and
rather daring costume. The young maiden

linen reaches only little below the
knees. Her waist is of ekru linen, tight
fitting trimmed with deep lace collar.
The collar is kept down, so that it can't fly

over the shoulders which are fastened at
the top Of the skirt by big buttons. Her

ostrich tips also fastened down tight, and
where the three yellow loops joined sprun z
three more stiff black tips.
