.'Oh. know" - "a the elder woman.
Your fathc. used 10 be great deai
the same way"
Par exclaimed the young woman.
Until h. got educated" said the
elder woman. II had TO elncate him.
Of course. ana you'n have TO educate
William. Arguing isn't any use"
Il know" said the young woman sad.
ly. eve tried IT,
And crying isn't any use" said the
elder with some severity.
The young woman blushed and
glanced hastily ut a mirror that hung
on the wall.
mo. your eyes aren't red said the
elderly woman reassuringly. "but you
have been crying. and I tell you II
won't do. and coaxing won't work one
time In dozen"
Then hOw:"
use your common sense. There are
lots OF ways. Take him to shop with
you the next time you go That's one
pretty good way OF making him realize
that woman can't dress on nothing"
The young woman shook her head.
You don't know William as well as I
do" she said. IA be worse or than
ever. and. besides. he wouldn't 20"
"Oh. yes. he would" said the elderly
VIZ. n =
manage him properly. You tell some
woman friend what exquisite taste he
has when he's around and notice how
he'll begin 90 swell up. I ucvcr knew
the man who didn't believe that he
knew more about what was becoming
TO woman than she did herself Then
follow that up by asking him 10 helm
you select hat. Hell co Il fast
enough II you can make lim really he
lieve you depend Oh his Judgment"
But. mother
81 suppose YOU think he'll pick out
some five dollar horror or something
that doesn't suit You at ALL
I'm afraid he would"
We'll. he wouldn't. You begin by
wanting him 20 20 TO some dollar and
ninety-eight millinery store and watch
him rebel. Look iIs at the window ana
comment favorably on one or two OF
the shapes if you can't do anything
else, especially IL some other people
are standing 10y looking in He'll IN
siSt OH your going IL some decent
place. Don't take him 20 Elise. though.
Go any place where there's fairly
good assortment. but not where thcv
take $50 hats as matter OF course.
All you've got TO Go is to pick out an
Intelligent saleswoman and Insist on
something inexpensive. If she brings
you anything over So. say: oh. dear.
no. l can't afford TO pay that price "
IL don't scc''-
well. you will. You'll see that he'll
Insist on seeing something better. and
you'll see that he'll be about as help
less rs babe between you and tho
saleswOman. and he'll see that the only
way he can assert himself Is TO urge
you not TO consider expense. Don't
tell me he won't. | know 'em. You
can have any hat you want. and he'll
60 out OF the store under the impress
sion that he selected IT, And YOU don't
want 10 diSabusc his mind either. Tell
him that you think the hat is perfectly
charming and you are afraid he has
been cxtravagant and the one at S11
would have done Just rs well. See lf
he doesn't tell You that it's economy
In the long run 10 get a good thing and
that you will get moro than 81 worth
OF satisfaction out Of the difference in
the price. But don't ever let him con-
vince YOU"
"Why not?"
Because It wouldn't do. But don't
fall TO tell him how your friends raved
about the hat and how surprised they
seemed when you told them II was his
choice and how they said they would
hate 10 have their husbands pick out
hat for them and how YOU thought
so. too, but didn't say &c. and mention
casually rs the thing goes on 10 any
company you have that you always let
William select your hats on account Of
his exquisite taste. the only drawback
being his criminal disregard Of price.
Same thing applies 10 gowns or any
thing else"
But it would Ice awful to have to he
everIastingly taking him around"
You won't have TO-" said the elderly
woman. Don't YOU worry about that.
He'll get tired after the first few times
and let You set what YOU want your
self But you won't hear any more
talk about your extravaganza. He'll
have got his horizon extended. But
don't on any account let him lose his
own good opinion Of his taste"
at seems little deceptive" said the
young woman. but I almost believe
I'll try it."-ChicaGo News.
