HOW the Money Goes.

It is unsafe to allow any ordinary wo-
man to enter a store with money. She
has such craving for Injuries, such a
contempt for mere necessities, that she
almost invariably purchases the former
and is constantly in need of the latter.
She goesforth to purchase an opera bon
net because she is going to the opera that
very night, but her eye is caught by a
tea gown, a bargain tea gown, and she
buys it. That night some man seated
behind a Gainesborough with many
plumes swears. She goes out to buy a
Jacket, needing one sorely, but her err
ratio fancy is caught by lace trimmed
underwear, and before she realizes it
she is reveling in new nightgowns and
corset covers. She has even been known
to go out to buy writing paper and to
return with nothing but blue and
white cup and saucer. -Philadelphia
