The wise woman takes her
shopping seriously and spends
her money carefully.
She seeks the best advice she
can get, and nine times out of

She reads the advertising daily
and keeps posted on what the

fortunate turn in the market pre-
sents an unusual opportunity she
is ready to take advantage of 1t.
She markets as carefully and

show If he were buying a piece
of real estate. ~
Advertising is a business edu-
cation to the modern woman. It

Whenever a town girl gets too
proud to marry a man with 100
acres of land and 20 red pigs,
just because he wears blue jeans
and can't tell the tango from any
other vegetable, you can set it
down as fact that she will eth
er die an old maid or marry a So
a.week clerk with a head full of
ozone and one change of socks.
We would rather be hooked up
to somebody who wears 49c over

his fathers pension. But there's

FRANCE MAY TAX DUELs.
One Of the New Deputies Has Bril-
liant Scheme to Propose.

liant Scheme to Propose.
One Of the newly elected Partisan
deputies says he intends to propose in
the French chamber the imposition of
a tax on duels. His. argument will be
that duels are a form OF advertise
ment and as such are as liable to tax
alton as posters and prospectuses. He
suggests that duels shall be divided
into three classes-third, second and
first, in ascending order of taxable
magnitude. For a third class duel,
with the ordinary four seconds, a cou-
pie Of general practitioners and a
scratch In the forearm, the tax will be
80 francs. The proces-verbaux, or Off
cial accounts of the duel. must be
written on paper stamped with a six
penny stamp.
For a second class duel. giving a
right to decorated seconds-that is. Sec
onds with orders in their buttonholes-
hospital doctors and descriptive report
ers, the tax will be 100 francs. There
will be an additional charge of 20
francs per camera and 60 francs per
cinematograph apparatus.
Those who desire first class duel
must be prepared to pay 1000 francs
fS0-to the fisc. But for that they are
entitled to have umpires, jury OF
honor, a famous swordsman as direc-
tor Of combat and reconciliation on
the field of honor to the accompani-
ment OF brass band or stringed Or

mates that such tax. Loyalty impos-
ed and exacted. will bring over e.

most put out by the use OF the title
'TAiglon." which she cluims belongs
TO her so far as concerns the stage.
The brilliant author of "LAiglon'
seems to have been distressed at the
anger which had been aroused against
him in the bosom of the divine Sarah"
and he telegraphed her:
Il know nothing about the case. but

me defend myself against her. What
ever she wishes is right. and / grant
her all the profits arising from films

touched Nine. Bernhardt deeply, as it
is stated that she promptly wired to
the Paris press declaring her purpose
to refuse to accept Rostand's moving

$4,000.
