EVILS OF BARGAIN SALES.
Bargain Hunting Demoralizes Purse, Con
science and Trade.

A>e~A oeAAA uEse, Con
science and Trade.
Strange Inconsistencies and perycrsions
are revealed in the feminine character
when woman becomes addicted to bar
gain hunting, according to Carrie f. Gar
rett, In an article on "Tle Bargain Ma
MIA, in The Woman's Homo Companion.
Sometimes the proud possessor of a
bargain will make tho most extraordinary
and expensive efforts to save it from such
oblivion, as In the case of the lady who
bought some bargain buttons. She waited
reasonable length of time, thinking they
would come in, and, as they never came
IN, she purchased dress to match them
Such heroic action is not at all uncommon
among bargain hunters. This was the
same lady who purchased bargain smok-
Ing set and, having no earthly use for it,
began the pcrnicious habitof smoking Gig
arettes after dinner
ut Is odd how such woman will cloat
over bargain and on the strength of the
brilliant transaction Immediately commit
some extravaganza to offset it. We'll as
this was SO cheap, can afford to buy
that. Then will she patiently go to many
stores and obtain regular prices in order
to establish the character of the bargain as
such. But what is her anguish of mind
If she discovers that she might have bought
the same article a little cheaper at some
other placer A woman constantly pos
sessed of tho bargain idea is likely to carry
1t into all her dealings with mankind
social rs we'll as commercial Aside from
the economic standpoint, the spirit of ever
seeking to get more than one pays for is,
to say the least, not mentioned in the cata-
logue Of Christian virtues. She Is likely
to be penny wise and pound foolish, OK
travagant of time and money, and oh
worse than all these, badly dressed Choos-
ing ono's clothes fortuitously mt bargain
sales is apt to result in an incongruous as.
sortment of merchandise difficult to knit
together in one harmonious whole.'

THE DANCE.
Antiquity OF the Sir Roger de Coverley and
the Skirt Dance,

antiquity OF the Sir Roger de Coverley and
the Skirt Dance.
An old gentleman Of my acquaintance
told mo once that he still dances Sir Rog-
or dc Covorley." 81 enjoy that dance with
all the nerve, sinew and muscle left to me
at the age of 70, - he snid, eff only in hon
or of its time honorcd tune"
Dld you know that this supposed ''time
honored' dance has no real antiquity to
recommend 1t, since, although it was not
'made in Germany" it really belongs to
a period when most English customs be-
came modernizcd with tho advent of Dutch
William.
That worthy but fictitious knight Sir
Roger dc Covcrley, was simply creation
OF Addison's, who first introd uced him in
Tho Spectator of March 2, I'LL, with tho
remark That his great grandfather was tho
inventor of that famous country dance
which is called after him, which humorous
assertion doubtless many years subsequent
ly gave rise TO tho well known tune, but
country dances, pure and simple, wero
fashionable at the court of King Charles
II, wero Of French origin and replaced the
old English jig, also derived from the tune,
and which is mentioned by Shakespeare
tHamlet addressing Ophelia, act g. scene
Country dance Is merely corruption
OF the French ''contre," because the dane
ers faced each other.
Sir Roger is adduced by Addison AS typ
lcal OF country squire of the reign of
Queen Anne
In the original dance the first lady and
bottom gentleman had to kiss each other
whom they met in the center, and SO on,
throughout the performance
What is much more interesting on the
score of antiquity is tho modern skirt
Dance" which can be traced almost to
prehistoric times. An Anglo Saxon lady
may be seen in the act of performing a
veritable skirt dance to tho music of a lyre
and flute in one of the contemporary H.
lun.Hations at thu British museum. She
Is the object of much admiration to the
spectators.
Tho oldest and most stately dances of
England were those of the court of Queen
Elizabeth-the "Cornntos, tho "Gal-
liards' and the very ancient gavin, y
while tho "Lavolta" answered to our old
fashioned slow time waltz.
The cotillon, by tho way, simply means
the under petticoat, as its name implies.
1t was SO termed from tho necessary cx-
posture of those garments by ladies when
holding up their gowns.-Ncw Orleans
