BARGAIN HUNTING.

preston, "how woman hates
10 give a man credit for being
able to pick up a bargain?
when my wife tetcbes home
a load of junk that she's grabbed
off the bargain counters Im
supposed to delay eating my
dinner tor half an hour or so,
In order to go into raptures
over her displIy of bargains as
she spreads the stuff out before
me. l always name a figure
that know is about 40 times
too big when she asks me what
I think she paid for her bar
gains, for / know that this
makes her feel good with her
self. | wouldn't run down the
truck she totes home from the
bargain counters for any NOR
tai money, for know that she
has to work like a hodCarrier or
a piano mover in order to fight
her way to and from the bargain
counters, and | wouldn't take a
chance on seeing her become
fearful owing 10 my knocking
her bargains for anything.
But, two-fer smokes! when l
fetch home a bargain, isn't it
different!
Il brought home bargain
last evening. On my way from
the office l got to rubbering at
a window display of baberdash-
cry in a department store, and
the thing that most caught my
eye was the neat sign over a
stack of pale pink and baby
blue underwear.
Fine American silk the
sign read, marked down from
S. to 81 80 sul:.'
well, l could see that it was
a meshy, lightweight under
wear, and l knew that it was
only designed for summer wear.
Z reflected that the warm wealth
er for this year was pretty near
at an end, but the stuff looked
like such a whopping bargain
that l said to myself that it 'ud
come in mighty handy for next
year,
&" 1t looks to me like they're
just giving that stuff away
said l to myself, and here's a
chance to make a hit with my
wife. I'll just cop out half a
dozen suits of that underwear
and take it home and have her
put it in the cedar chest for
next year, and she'll hold up
her hands in wonderment over
any having enough sense to pick
APP a real bargain, and she'll
praise me, too, for being foxy
enough to buy stuff of that sort
almost for nothing at the fag-
end of the season.
$50 went into the store and
picked out half dozen suits of
the was $6-now 81 So under
wear Of my size, and had 'em
wrapped up. The underwear
looked great to me. When the
clerk handed mt an exchange
ticket l almost Chuckled as |
tucked it into my pocket as a
mere matter of form, for l didn't
consider that there was one
chance ina billion that that
underwear would ever be eX-
changed.
What have you got there?'
she asked me, cycling my bun
!, die suspiciously after she had
greeted me in the hall.

the most infantile kind of blue
for a grown-up man! and
then she went off into another
bunch of wild laughs.
lin not more than ia years
of age, | told her, and l don't
see anything so blooming funny
about the colOrs.'
when she was able to stand
up straight from laughing she
picked one of the suits up and
felt of it.
What did you pay a suit
for it?' she asked me.
" Dollar ninety said 1, and
they just slaughtered the price

Why, John Emstreet,' she
exclaimed, looking me over
solemnly. 1 saw the very self

American silk! she shrill-
ed, feeling of the suit she bad
in her hand. why. it's the
cottoniest old stuff | ever saw
in my life! and then she went
on to tell me that there was no
more silk about it than any
thing, and if she'd gone on in
that strain long enough she'd
finally have made the under
wear out to be manufactured of
hemp.
And just one washing'll
shrink it so that it'll look like
like dolls clothes! was the
next knock she bad for my great
bargain, and by this time I be-
