not been able to satisfy ourselves that
this Is true of all, or even most, Of the

careful search and exploration Of all

to say on the subject of women prac-
ticing false economy: "Many a wo-
man will walk half mile or more to

right size, trusting to her ingenuity

chances are that the time alone which
she could save would more than equal
