table, who has an excellent situation,
which, | think, nothing could induce her
to change, always looks over the
wants. ;"
II do, tool" said pretty school teacher
across the table
WHY" asked the reporter.
"Well," with a blush, 81 suppose it's
because got my own place through that
column. A friend of mine saw the ad-
vertisement, went TO the school to make
inquiries, and here ! am. Then, too, the
wants always interest me. And, for
that matter, one good thing turned up for
me through that medium perhaps a bet
ter one may come Che same way"
"Well," put in the church mouse, 81
own up to reading the personals in every
paper | come across, I'm always hopingI
may see line: Information wanted of
poor church mouse who is one Of the heirs
to the estate, etc. There's another wc-
man at our house who reads everything
in the paper at least she reads all the adj
vertisements. She knows what ships are
to sail and what ones are due, Just what
plays are at the theater and how long
they will stay; she knows which store
has cloak sale and which one linen
sale, and where shoes are advertised the
cheapest. Perhaps we don't read adver-
tisements at our house so mucn as we
would if she wasn't there, for we can ask
her what's on sale, and where to get it,
and she can always tell us"
I'm tell you how il is with me about
reading advertisements, " said the hostess
with a judicial air. II do read them
that is, keep watch of them. When l
see mention of something need 90 to
the store, and if it is satisfactory buy
it."
"But why do you need to read the ad-
vertisements; you know they have every
thing, or at least most things in stock all
the timer"
But if they are advertised that means
that they are TO be sold at special rates for
that day or week only. II may be very
trifling reduction, but that makes no
difference. Plenty of women have abso-
lutely no common sense about the matter.
/ remember couple Of years ago there
was drop in the price of sugar,
and big grocery firm advertised
to sell sugar at cents a pound less
than its usual retail price. But, mind
you, not more than two pounds were
TO be sold to any one person. Well, my
dear, women game from far and near;
from Jersey and Brooklyn. Naturally
they could save only cents on their lin
tied purchase of two pounds and in com
ing or going they spent five or six times
that amount, besides buying other things
they had not thought Of"
But" said the engaged girl, who had
not taken any part in the discussion,
"there is common sense in reading the
advertisements; you must admit that.
You find out the novelties, and when the
regular old standby materials are adver-
tised al bargain you know it, o, yes |
own up 10 reading the bargain advertise
ments, and, what's more, believe every
mothers daughter Of US does It'll"
II know" said the church mouse,
there are dozens of times when / wish /
had read the advertisements even more
carefully. You may be sure 1 don't want
to 90 to the museums on pay days. But
two or three times | have been caught,
when glance at the paper would have
told me better. And I'm always turning
up at places after they are closed and go
ing to hear something that has been post
poned, so that have taken a vow to be-
come as well posted as the animated cal
endar at our boarding house."
