cost Of her trip 10y making JudlclouS pur-
chaseS. Take, for instance, the matter of
soaps, perfpmes, lotions. creams, powders
and toilet articles, which are extremely
high in price in America. A woman who
knows how to buy can get in Paris for "a
franc soap that costs 81 a cake here, and
everything else in this line costs in about
the Same proportion.
IL the wrappers and shoppers of these
things have been opened, evidencing her
intention Of using them herself, there is
not likely to be any question Of paying
duty. Here al once is a large saving.
Every woman that possibly can do 40
INDUCES in these dainty toilet accessories,
and every American woman knows what
they cost in New York.
These things have no seasons, although
at the July sales in London there are bar
gains to be had in the French preparations
that have waned in vogue, for in Paris
n perfume will last for n season and will

the old stock is shipped over 20 London,

The woman who wants to shop TO advan-

brushes are very much lower in price and
better in quality abroad. They can he

Linen. handkerchiefs may be bought to

when they are beautifully embroidered by

London is really the economical shoppers
paradise. Paris shops are fascinating, but
they are not conducted with the idea of
selling cheaply to Americans. They are
dangerous places to enter, having all kinds

Embroideries by the yard are desirable
to buy abroad. Silver, and in fact jewelry
of all kinds seems to be much cheaper.
