tuluS III perfect OrueT Will De ulSCdTu-
ed because 1t is not quite up 10 the
latest fad in cut or shade. The waste
full woman always buys more than
she needs and usually the more i'm
tied her income the greater her ten
dency toward the extremes in trim
ming and style. A wealthy woman
frequently will order a suit of Sc,
verely plain cut in order that she
may be able to wear II for two or
more seasons without the trouble OF
choosing something new. The waster
scorns last years clothes and insists
upon new things each season obi
vious of the fact that her husbands
finances forbid useless expenditure.
The wife of a $4,000 year clerk
went into a fashionable shoe store
at the beginning OF the season to or
der her winter shoes, which she Sc
lected as follows: One pair of carri-
ageboots white satin, fur trimmed,
$40; three pairs of evening slippers,
one Of them imported and gold EN-.
broidered, amounting to $2s altogeth-
er; a pair Of high walking boots at
$40; a pair Of dressy black shoes at
the same price, making total Of
$52 for her seasons shoes. Several
pairs Of silk stockings to so with
them brought the bill up still higher
and having made her selections with
an air Of bored Indifference, she or
dered them charged to her husband
and left the store. The proprietor,
who had been watching the transac.
ton. observed to q friend: "rna'
the kind of women that makes abb
sconding bank cashiers. Her
husband Is good, hard working
man, but he'll never get ahead be-
cause every time he gets a raise in
salary his wife goes out to blow it.
He's always paid her bills so far,
but it's an even gamble that there'll
come time when he can't do It,.
Waste Their Own Lives
The woman waster is always a
shirk. She shirks every duty and re.
sponsibility until her own life be-
comes the biggest waste of all. She
shirks all the pain and responsibility
Of child bearing and the duties Of
managing home. In the boarding
house or hotel where she lives she is
brewer Of discomfort among all
those she knows. Not content with
merely wasting all Of her own time
and substance, she continually ex-
erts her influence toward the extrav.
agance and idleness upon the part of
other women. Usually she tries to
discover some form of social diver
sion to serve as an excuse for her
failure in the things for when a wo.
man should be held responsible. Of
ten she tries to imagine herself an
invalid until, having wasted unlimit.
ed sums of money upon physicians,
both legitimate and quack, she has
so wasted her physical resources that
her invalidism is partially real. All
her amusements and diversions con-
stitute additional means for wasting
the family income. She Is a good pa.
iron of the afternoon tea room where
women gather to regale themselves
with ,,pwhnlaonp,o WAND, N, ov.o.
tionate prices and to discuss scan
dals, questionable plays and books
which the busy, healthy minded wo-
man has not even time to think about
One of the newer methods by which
the woman waster manages to dis
pose of considerable portion of the
family income is by the patronage Of
the beauty specialists whose parlors
always are thronged with women Of
her type. The waster is always vain
and is seldom satisfied with her per.
sonal appearance. II she was born
a brunette she wants TO become a
blonde, and the chemical blondes so
seen are examples of the
success of the exchange in coloring.
II she Is slender she desires to put
on flesh, and If she is plentifully sup
piled with adipose tissue she must
try to reduce herself to syiphlike pro-
portions. Some excuse always is to
be found for taking treatment which
consume both time and money.
One of the worst effects of the wo.
man waster is upon the tradesmen
dependent upon her for support. The
grocer Is the greatest sufferer. The
waster always runs a monthly bill
rs large as the grocer can be inveigh.
ed into permitting her to to contract
When she mas wasted in other chan.
nels the money which should have
gone to pay for the family food. she
seeks another grocer, leaving the old
'ne unpaid. According to a publish.
