THE DAILY CHIT-CHAT.
By Ruth Cameron.

The best thing Of an inexpensive kind
Is almost always better than a cheap
thing OF more expensive class.
Things which appear exactly the same
on the surface are often entirely different
when you look into them more closely.
For instance, knowing how to spend
money and knowing how to buy might
appear to be the same thing. but they are
entirely different. Every woman knows
how to do the first: one in a hundred, the
second. And yet. knowing how to buy
wisely is one Of the most important divi-
sions in woman's great science of home
making. I heard an investigator Of finan-
cial conditions assert that women spend
owe rthree-fourths Of all the money that
is earned in the middle and lower classes.
Think how. important it is that they
should know how to spend It wisely VOL
umes might certainly be written on this
subject, but don't know enough to write
them. l just want to bring home to you
one principle Of wise buying with which
have recently been impressed and which
stated above, nanely-the best thing Of
an inexpensive kind 10 almost always bet
ter than cheap thing Of more ex-
pensive class.
Nine years ago two young girls who
were chums were married at about the
coAAC eAAS. AnCSc yOuu6 SVupaCS Adu
nearly the same amount Of money to
spend, and many of their household fur
nishings were similar. But in the matter OF
beds they disagreed. One girl was deter
mined to have brass beds, and since she
did not have money enough to buy q
frst-class article. bought some attractive
but cheap brass beds. The other girl
said, IT would rather have q thoroughly
good white one than q cheap brass one.
and forthwith put about the same sum
which her friend had invested into the
most attractive and well made white beds
that could be bought. Today one girl
has dainty white beds which look as fresh
and attractive as when she bought them,
while the other has pair of furnished
and tawdry brass beds which spoil the
appearance Of her whole chamber
1t is better to buy good oak than cheap
mahogany; a first-class cotton dress than
a cheap silk one.
Good muslin or scrim curtains are in
finiteiy preferable to hangings Of cheap
lace. Ffrst-class cretonne is better than
fourth-class tapestry.
It Is Infinitely more satisfactory to pay
50 cents for the best Of silk Isle STOCK
ings than for the cheap grade Of silk hose
Good lamb will give you more nutriment
and satisfaction for your money than
cheap steak. Indeed, in every department
Of buying the housewife will find this q
safe principle and will do we'll not to let
herself be beguiled from 1t by the longing
to have something Of a better class an.
more snowy than she really can afford.
At first she may think she ID getting q
bargain in the cheap expensive thing. In
the end she will find out her mista 1e.
