late In August The sensation OF
the affair was the spectacle Of 20
society girls dancing in their bare

Each morning. Harry Lehr spent
an hour walking with bare feet on
the wet grass of his lawn. He was

add further to his prestige as social
arbiter of the select few, Harry

the society women the barefoot

her to give private exhibitio nfcr

dance Venus Rising In the Mist"
You couldn't notice the mist much.

what IS a bargain? Using its own
name as a synonym doesn't make us
any wiser. OF course It's a bargain.
But why Is IL bargain, and since
when has II been bargain-and what
is a bargain anyway?
To answer the bargain question we
must needs go back something like
three thousand years to ancient Egypt.
There they used sort of boat they
called a "baris." 1t was O pleasure
craft, and Il was used by the Pharar
obs and by the priests of Isis and OF
Osiris In their travels up and down
the lordly Nile And 1t Is to the name
OF this ancient craft that we must go
to find the root of our word bargain"
For thence comes the words barge"
and bark" or "barque" And there
by hangs the tale of the word bar
gain"
Can you imagine how II would be
In the olden times when a "barca" or
barque laden with merchandise from
the east came to some western port?
Can't you see the folks crowding to
the beach to buy bales of silks and
spices from the brown Tyrian mer-
chants7 And seeing them thus, crowd
ing the wharf and the deck OF the
lateen rugged barque from the Levant.
you can well imagine that they might
speak of what they were doing as
"barkening."
Anyhow that seems to be what they
did. So we are pretty safe In saying
that o bargains a "barken.' r..
