"But. mother
u suppose sou think he'll pick ont
some five dollar horror or something
that doesn't suit you at all"
"Tm afraid he would"
swell. De wouldn't You begin by
wanting him to go 90 some dollar and
niuoty-ciGht millinery store and watch
him rebel Look I'm at the window and
comment flvorably on one or two of
the shapes &c you can't do anything
else especially II some other people
are standing by looking in. He'll In
sist on your going TO some decent
place Don't take him 10 Elise, though.
Go any place where there's a fairly
good assortment, but not where they
take $50 hats as matter Of course.
All you've got 70 do is TO pick out an
intelligent salcswoman and insist on
something Inexpensive. If she brings
you anything over So say: oh, dear.
no! l can't afford to pay that price" "
81 don't sce"-
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 a babe between you and the
saleswomau. and he'll see that the only
way he can assert himself is 10 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
go ont of the store under the impres
sion that he selected it, And you don't
want to dis9huse his mind either Tell
him that you think the hat is perfectly
charming ana you are afraid he has
been eNtravagaut and the one at S11
would have done Just as we'll See If
he doesn't tell you that it's economy
in the long run 10 get a good thing and
that you Will get more than 50 worth
of satisfaction out of the difference in
the price But don't ever let him con
vince you"
"Why not?"
Because IL wouldn't do. But don't
fail to tell him how your friends raved
about the hat and how surprised they
seemed when you told them it was his
choice and how they said they would
hate to have their husbands pick out
a hat for them and how you thought
so, too, but didn't say it, and mention
casually as the thing goes on to 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 to gowns or any
thing else"
But it would be awful to have to be
everlastlngly 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 get 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
"It seems little deceptive" said the
young woman, but almost believe
