HOW TO GET PRETTY CLOTHES
FOR NOTHING.
II Is possible for a young girl whose
taste 10 always being admired ana
whose judgment IL relied upon by her
friends - procure her own clothes on q
commission basis. Women with plenty
Of money to spend are madly searching
for exquisite clothes to adorn them
selves. No matter how great their
enmity and differences In all othe- az
fairs. when It comes 10 clothes. they
meet on an equal basis and are always
ready to inquire where this or that
gown was purchased. Jealousy and con-
ceit foolshly assure them that what
another looks we'll In will oe still moro
becoming to themselves, and they are
naturally prone 10 imitation.
A woman who has little or no money
to spend on her own wardrobe can
influence her friends to do their shop
ping at particular places She tactfully

what they want at This shop or that,
and tells them to be sure to ask for
Miss So-and-So or Mile. Watchermay-
callher to walt upon them. and not to
fail to say who sent them. so that they
may receive better attention. The
young woman who IL secretly profiting
by soliciting business will telephone
and promptly inform the manager OF
the shop that q customer sent by her
will presently put In an appearance.
When the wealthy woman purchases
from 500 to 500 worth Of gowns q COM
mission OF 10 per cent Of the purchases
10 placed to the credit OF the clever
little lady who induced her friend to
buy where she knows she has the pr1vi-
lego OF q commission.
In a short time others Of her ,well-to-
do acquaintances will also buy dresses
where our less moneyed young woman
has the commission advantage, ana be-
fore long she will have to her credit
several hundred dollars worth Of
clothes, and . beaut tal outht 10 a.

There Is hardly any work attached
to the procedure, only occasionally does
she accommodate q friend by accom-
panying her on a shopping tour. and
this usualiy results In . larger amount
Of purchase and q corresuondingly In
creased commission.

without any money to spend on
her clothes can be one Of the best

1t 10 not only gowns thai can be OBJ
tained on commission. but almost every
other requisite OF the wardrobe can be
added to the list. The clever circulate

THE BOOSTER BECOMES Ex.
CEeDlNolY POPULAR. o..
A woman who appears to bs swing
her help and time In so generous .
manner gets the reputation Of being
| very kind and unsslhsh. Women pur-
sue her on the telephone. call for her
| in their motor cars, invite her to
| luncheon at the fashionable hotels and
do many things to reciproca,s Tor her
help and judgment in the selection Of
their clothes. which they rely vpon In
plicitly. They will frankly tell their
acquaintances that they could not pos
sibly select their clothes without the
advice of the dear friend. on whose per-
feet taste they can depend.
1t 10 very nattering to our commits
sion friend, but II she has been born
with q wonderful knack for selecting
clothes. and II she needs the money,
why should she not DO rewarded for
being continually, pestered by her CRATE
full women friends?
