ECONOMICAL MARKETING.

Marketing and economy are, or
should be, synonymous terms. A prop
er conception OF the meaning OF the
word economy is necessary in order to
grasp the fulness of either term. Econ
omy in buying means to pay as much
as thing is worth and no more. Ju-
diclous marketing means purchasing
things in their. best condition and in
their season and in not buying more or
less of perishable goods than what Is
needed for each day. Violation of this
most essential rule is source of much
waste OF money. Economy does not
mean stlnginess. Enough is enough.
Generosity does not consist in lavish
superfluity OF food or drink.
Flour, grains and dried fruit will
keep for an indefinite time II stored in
dry place. Beef and mutton should
be kept In a dry, cool place for some
time before cooking, but veal and lamb
should be cooked when freshly killed
Fish and vegetables cannot be bought
too fresh. Poultry should be cooked
when fresh, but game requires more
time to develop the flavor.
The best place to market is at the
large stores, where there is large pa
tronage and quick sales. In smaller
stores goods get stale by standing so
long on the shelves.

LoNG-DIsTANCB BELLIES.

1t is a familiar statement that women
who go to the country for the summer
seem to find more delight in their trips
to town than their sojourn at the
summer resort. The frequency with
which they come into town depends on
their ingenuity in inventing some press
ong necessity for seeing the dress
maker, the dentist or the doctor 1t
q usually the dentist who serves them
best as an excuse, for he may be made
the pretext for visit to town at any
time.
The superiority OF the girl who goes
oftenest to town over her associates in
the hotel Is always noticeable. She
shares temporarily the continued tri-
umph OF the engaged girl, who, as ev-
erybody knows, is looked upon by the
other young women as worthy of envy
In the highest degree.
Next to the girl who is engaged and
the girl who goes oftenest to town, the
girl who is most frequently called up
on the telephone is regarded as a
favorlte of fortune. To be called up on
the long-distance phone from New
York must mean something serious
summer boarders say. 1t is expensive
enough to imply that the engagement
ds almost ready to announce.
To be called up once a week to the
'phone will fill the other young women
at the hotel with excitement, while to
lie called up daily fills the hearts Of
the others with chagrin, not excluding
the engaged one and the one that goes
oftenest to town.
1t is only by these vicarious methods
that girls may be bellies in the summer
hotels to-day. The number of men in
these places is so small and most of
them are so young that actual superior
fly among the girls struggling Cor their
attention is a hollow victory.-Indlan-
