lined and faced with striped Roman
silk In blue and green and red. It had
Z standing collar and flaring cuffs and
was altogether ultra fashionable.
Let me see the skirt" said Helen.
finally. "Oh. this has one Of those
Russian tunics, too, hasn't It? Don't
you think the model Is rather extreme,
dear, to buy 80 late In the season?
They won't be wearing these Russian
tunics in the fall"
"Oh, pardon me madam, but they
will. We have sold any number OF
them lately for steamer suits. and a
number of the early fall models are
made with the Russian tunic. The
style is too popular to go out so
SOON"
1.-THE skirt is rather nice. isn't it,
dear? like the blue serge tunic with
the Roman silk underskirt. Have you
anything like this in dark gray?"
Nov, Helen, you don't want a gray
suit This suit is just the thing for
what you want it for. Why don't you
take it and come on?"
Let me slip the skirt on, madam;
/ don't think you'll need any altera-
| tons. We're really not selling any
gray. suits to speak of just now, ex'
| ceptfng for more elaborate wear, and
! then the color comes lighter than the
| one showed you. There" hooking
the skirt down the side, II don't think
you'll need anything at all done to this,
everything is worn so loose just now.
Now I'll slip on the coat again and you
can get the entire effect"
Eyes, it is becoming" admitted Hell
en-. Are you sure you like 1t DEAR or
would you rather look somewhere else
before deciding?"
| What do you want to look some
where else for? Isn't that just like a
woman; that's the suit you want. Why
not get 1t and have it done WITH"
How much is it," asked Helen
realizing for the first time that the
suit might cost a great deal more
than they might want to pay.
"Seventy-fve dollars. and cheap al
that Why, there isn't another sui
like it in New York city"
A BIG PRICE.
ooh, but l don't want to go as higi
as that l had planned on buying {
suit for about fifty dollars. You Sc.
it's so late in the season. and in thu
fall I'll need new one. Oh, thinl
I'll look at something cheaper"
; "Now, what's the matter?" said Wal
rem, impatiently
"Why, l think SIS is too much t
pay this time of the year for sui
: OF this kind don't you, dear? Hadn'
: we better look at something cheaper?
eff you like the suit, get it., an
= come on. What's the use of hagglin
, about the price? You'd probably hav
!. to pay as much in the end to get wha
= you want"
But I'd rather get a cheaper sui
and spend the rest on something else.
That's right; just like a woman
have the suit sent up and come on
. I'm hungry"
:, "All right. you can send the suit,
. turning to the saleswoman. Curt.
Mrs. Warren Curtis. Yes, charge i
please"
well, now, that's settled" sal
Warren, as they hurried toward tn
!. elevator. you see, you bought blu
suit after all; it pays to get som,
. thing you really like. Now what ar
! you stopping for"
l Helen had stopped at the shirtwais
counter and had picked up a films
blouse.
"Dou you mind waiting just m
ment, dear? I need a couple of shir
waists, and they are having a sa
. mere today.
Il came cut to buy suit" sa
Warren, determinedly. "and that's a
were going to do today. You Ca
c come down for those gewgaws SON
L other time"
But the sale only last one day; t
morrow I'll have to pay more for tt
same thing
Z Eyes. that's what you say. and that
the way you women shop. l don't ca
e If you have to pay twice as much, l.
e through for today"
u Helen tried to keep up with Wa
rens long strides as they turned t
l. ward the subway, but he was not j
le clined for conversation as they we
n Whidled away uptown
Here. read the funny sheet al
, don't bother me-" he growled, han
'e ing the part of an evening pape
IS That's the last shopping tour you 6
y me on in some time I'm tired"
II And Helen bent over the newspap
III in silence. wondering vaguely if a
:. wouldn't regret having bought the bl
, suit after all.
