Bargain time is here. A mere man said

pay any attention to what man saws.
especially when II comes to bargains?
There are bargain sales of this, that. and
the other thing for every day in the week
and every hour in every day There's no
use denying it; half the bargain-seeking
women in the world half the time don't
know what they buy and why they buy it.
To prove the truth of this a whole car
full of men were Immensely amused at
the loud-voiced confession of a girl as
they crossed the Brooklyn bridge one day
last week.
Did you know that Blank & Blank
are having a great sale of books at their
store?" she asked her companion.
No" was the reply. I'm so glad you
told me. I'll stop there on my way
home"
You'd better" suggested the other,
"for never in my life have 1 seen such
bargains in books. Why I got three of
the largest books I ever saw in my life
there at So cents each. They are perfect

According to Max O'Rel, the French
man whose lectures on women always re-
ceive the closest attention, French women
make the best wives for poor and striving
husbands Al a recent talk he gave in
England on the women of the world he
remarked that he had found only two
countries where men We're in leading
strings and women were the leaders
France and the United States. The lee
turer manifested a keen admiration for
the Frenchwoman, who, lss went on to
say, under all the varying circumstances
of life freely offered her husband advice
which he generally took. She advised
him IN money matters-that was why he
retained his money The Frenchwoman,
too, always remained interesting. She
never even wore her hair more than three
weeks in the same way She knew that
the same dishes became insipid If eternally
served with the same sauce. In business
she was the husbands adviser She knew
all his affairs and shared them. English
and American women often did not know
whether their husbands were on the road
to ruin or wealth. Mr. O'Rell then spoke
at length Of the American woman. In
America. Mrs. Jonathan was a dis
tinct type. An American girl
of
most every liberty, yet American women
inspired respect everywhere. The differ
ent positions which women occupied in
America, as compared with England, was
due, he thought, largely TO education.
American boys and girls sat together in
the same school and the girls took the ma
jority of the prizes. He also paid a COM
pliment to the chvalry of American men
to the opposite sex, which, he said, he had
found in no other country.
want to tell about a most. delicious
cake connection l have lately encountered
for the first time: it was a revelation Of
what a cake can be, and good enough 10
venture giving for the benefit of those
who have not met with it yet. 1t is
just the right thing, says writer in Har-
Ders Bazaar for serving at this season at
a luncheon or a high tea, or as an accom-
panment to iced tea or coffee, or, in fact
wherever cake would be grateful. It GER
tainly is a dream of q cake!
The first requisite is ring cake-mould
like ring jelly-mould but the center
hole must not be too large and the tin
must be rather deep so that the cake viii
stand high on the plate on which it is
served. The mixture for the cake may be
made from any good, rich chocolate-cako
recipt-we all have our particular favor
ties, and they are all alike in general prin-
ciples. consisting of a good sponge-cake
mixture, with melted chocolate added to-
ward the end of the stirring to give the
necessary flavor and richness. When the
cake is baked it is turned out as soon as
possible on to the platter or plate on which
it is served. and then covered with rich
chocolate icing Nthe soft kind which PEN
etrates into the cake as well as covering
the outside. And. then comes the finishing
touch that gives this especial delicacy 10
character, which is sweetened whipped
cream that fills the hole inside of the ring
or cake. While simple enough to make
and prepare, the combination of the hot
rich chocolate cake and the whipped cream
is really ideal, and l most certainly advise
any one who has not tasted il already TO
try it. I know whoever does win want
to do so a second time.
