THINGS ABOUT WOMEN
MEN NEVER UNDERSTAND
No. 7.-Her Strange Theory of Economy.
By DOROTHY DIX.

Il know what the riddle Of the Sphinx
is It's her pocketbook.'' said the fourth
man. THE real thing about woman, that
no man ever gets line on, Is the way
she spends her money, and her theory Of
economy.
"A mans idea of thrift is to do with
out the things he wants and put the
money in the bank. A woman's idea OF
thrift is to do without the things she
wants. and spend her money for some
thing she doesn't want, because 1t hap
pens to be cheap. A woman never feels
so much as II she would be Secretary Of
the Treasury. II she had her Just deserts.
as when she buys carrots. which her
family won't eat for dinner, instead Of
potatoes. which they will eat. because
carrots are cents cheaper than po-
tatoes. .-
so far as I have been able to COM
prehend this cryptic matter at all. a
woman's theory of economy is based on
the bargain counter. You must always
spend your money on something that
has been marked down from 81 to 80
cents. II you do that, you are pattern
of thrift, and whether you needed the
thing. whether 1t is suitable. or of good
quality, are immaterial matters with
which you do not need to concern your
self.
In Awe of Real Money.
ALSO. have discovered that checks
and bills women hold in contempt and
deal gayly and frivolously with. but the
real mazuma fills them with a sort Of
superstitious fear and awe: and they
salaam before it. and part with 1t with
reluctance. A woman will spend twice
as much II she has things charged. or
pays for them with checks, as she will
IL she has to dig down into her pocket
book. and fish out the good money every
time
Il got wise to this early in my mar
ried life through a little incident that
was Illuminating to me. My wife saw d

.SHANTUNG SILK Is
SENSIBLE FOR BOYS

Season after season the smaller &C
ccssortes and trifles of dress grow more
and more in importance, and no longer
can they be called the little things"
II by this term is meant details that
need not occasion much thought either
in their selection or in the manner OF
their wearing.
Novelties in the misnamed little
things" of dress are as eagerly sought
for as new tones in colors and new
shades in fabrics.
Take. for instance. the question Of the
waist or handbag. an accessory Of dress
almost as important as the gown itself.
Where Is the woman who does not hail
with Joy the arrival Of fresh nov-
city in her bag, either in the shape it
self or in the fabric of which 1t is con-
stitEted?

No toilette. Of whatever hour OF the

Carried with a costume of thick black

Is the fad Of the moment-and very smart
and refined is a bag of black velvet
finely wrought In Jet. the fine work Is
accentuated by a few large Jet ca
bochons and on the reverse side initials
are embroidered in Jet. These bags are
worn slung over the shoulder by long,
thick, tasseled cords.
The large bags grow more and more
popular. They combine every shade and
are embroidered in a hundred styles.
Some are shaped like the old-fashioned
reticules drawn up by cords or linen
straps.
New Bag of Batiste.
A new one seen was OF sheer white
batiste, finished with a deep band Of
white linen embroidered In blue. The
monogram is also embroidered in blue
Bags Of black velvet continue to be

Of the possible, a wallet Of suede. the
