HE first clothes event of the New
Year is not change of fashion.
but the crucial moment for the
purchase of clothes at economies.
Unfortunately for the merchants
many women plan for the replenish-
Ing OF their wardrobes at this season
when prices are diminished.
Especially American women are
thus clothes-wise. Such women are
not only financiers, but are geniuses.
therefore they deserve not only the
admiration of others less knowing
but their husbands, writes Marion
Morris In the Chicago Inter Ocean.
However. woman must be convers-
ant with values to be able to reap a
harvest OF economies. The woman
who does not, and also the one who
has no foresight about styles-may be
favorably compared with the man who
buys gold brick"
This year the knowing woman can
easily save more money than ever be-
fore. Why?
Prices Must Be Cut.
For several weeks the newspapers
have published many bargain sales OF
women's clothes-this signifies that
the market is crowded and that the
pressure was too great to hold out I'M
I'll now. During December, women
gave little thought to any shopping
except for Christmas, so the market
was but little relieved. Now comes
the onslaught! And 1t will be the
most drastic cut of prices in years.
To explain the reason | must turn the
calendar back more than six months.
Last May and the beginning of June
were quite cool and women did not
buy summer clothes until the weather
changed. As result. many stores
held back their orders and that pre-
vented the makers from starting on
their autumn models. Finally when
they did start, labor troubles occurred
throughout the country and every
thing stopped until the early autumn.
Unfortunately. the warm weather
lasted until later than usual. When
the manufacturers started on their
winter work they hurried to make I'D
for lost time. thinking that the women
who usually bought early would buy
later. However. their calculations
were overestimated and now the mar.
ket is flooded with some of the pref.
TEST attire fashion has created in
many seasons. So now there are
dozens OF advantageous opportunities
heretofore unknown even to the
clothes-wise woman.
Because a woman can always afford
to have several tailored suits-espe-
cially when she is able to get the ex.

HURTS THE SENSITIVE CHILD
Constant Reminder Of lie Deficiencies

II is cruel to constantly remind chill

children are eften seriously injured by
the suggestion Of inferiority and def
ects are exaggerated which might have
been entirely overcome. This ever
lasting harping against the bad does
not help the child half as much as
keeping It's mind full Of the good. the
beautiful and the true. The constant
love suggestion, purity suggestion. no.
bility suggestion. will SO permeate the
life after a while that there will be
nothing to attract the opposite. It
will be so full Of sunshine. 50 full of
beauty and love. that there will be lit

The child'x self-confidence should be
buttressed. braced, encouraged in
every possible way; not that he should
be taught to overestimate his ability
and his possibilities. but the idea that
he is Gods child. that he is heir to an
infinite Inheritance. magnificent possi-
bilities. should be instilled into the
very marrow Of his being.

WHY CELEBRITIES ARE FEW
Their Absence Permits the Imitation
swelIs to Shake Hands In
Sane Manner.

Even II I didn't read the newspa-

many strange celebrities in town
now" said the young man with strong
social instincts.
II could tell by the way the imita-
tion swells shake hands. Everybody
shakes hands now in a safe and zane
manner. Not for weeks have my fin
gers been tweaked in freakish fashion.
That is because the shakers have met
no one to set bad example.
"Peculiarities in a handshake are
more contagious than fads in accent or
clothes. Nearly every person of i'm
pcrtance has his own way Of grasping
another's hand. and the small fry who
ape their big brothers in everything
else mighty soon copy that shake. In
the busy social season when the big
guns come and go pretty frequently
