What Is a Bargain?

THE bargain habit is on a par WIFI
the betting habit 1t is the same In
stinct that makes a woman keep her eye
out for the bargain counter that makes
a man risk his earnings on the race
thing fpr nothing"
This statement was made by a would
be moralist the other day in an argu-
ment against the bargain as mercan-
tile institution. And this philosopher
would have US believe that bargain hunt
ing is an unmitigated evil. that the
woman who watches the papers for ad-
vertisements of special sales and then
sallies forth with purse in hand in re-
Spouse to these inducements is like the
man who would rather live by his wits
on the races than 10 earn A good salary.
And the merchant who tricks the err:ng
bargain hunter out of her good money
IS worse than she is. For he deliberately
offers her worthless articles in tempting
ruise. wooden nutmegs. and out-of-date
finery that he would have to give away
in another season and would have to pay
storage for keeping in stock.
But really the bargain seeker Of the
the woman who shops wisely. and the
merchant who offers bargains and spe-
cial sales is really not a mountebank
The average merchant does not nor
neither does he claim to offer you some
thing for nothing in his bargain sales
to eel
At I less percentage of legitimate profit
than is ordinarily cNacted. and as a gen.
eral rule he keeps his word. Nor is his
reason for bargain sales and special days
always that the goods are going out of
fashion and that they cannot be given
away another year: in many instances
the purchasing of goods in large quanti-
tics at reduced wholesale prices makes
genuine bargains possible. And even in
those instances where the danger of goods
not COMFORTING with the fashions is the
cause for bargain sales it should not be
forgotten that newncss of an article is
an asset that has value, nor that many
people of measer means are perfectly
willing to wait until goods have lost this
asset and they are. as a consequence,
given the opportunity to buy them at
a price where they are not paying for
something which they do not need and
do not want TO pay for.
One of the prominent merchants of the
city-one who probably knows more about
buying and selling conditions here than
any one else-said the other day that the
greatest advantage in shopping in Wash
inston over shopping in New York lay
in taking advantage of the special sales
and the season end bargains. which ofTe-
Nnuch better values than do such sales
III the larger city.
80 the truth of the matter is that the
bargain hunter-howcver much she has
been maliSncd and jokcd about in tie
paSt-is really not so bad and there is
u" doubt about il that the woman who
must count her pennies misses a good
chance for economy if she hccds not the
call Of the bargain counter

Do you know what the motto "Agree
with thine adversary quickly may mean
to you? It does not mean that you shall
be a nonentity and not stand for your
own rights.
Your adversary is not the individual o.
flesh and blood who seemingly oppose:
YOU It Is your thought of that indi'
viduaL Your real adversary Is the fight
which you are making within yourself

APPETIZING WAYS
OF SERVING BACON

When YOU first tasted the much
vaunted bacon OF England. praised by
Dickens and Thackery and every other
diStiuctivcly English writer, were YOU
disappointed? Was il served to you
white and sUggy under egg in a
little crockery dish" And had you ex-
pected something crisper and swecter
and browner and brittler than the
bacon ScrN ed at home"
good many persons have been dis
appointed in the half-cooked bacon
that one usually gets in England.
Doubtless the English palate is dis
tUr5cd Icy the crisp bacon We serve
and doubtless the English comment
dub3 this bacon overdone and flavor
less. Such is the habit of appetite.
But both English and American
will agree that bacon can be made or
Parred in the cooking. And il is rather
odd that in most households bacon is
served in one or. at most. two ways:
the other ways in which il can be de-
Iiciously cooked. each bringing out
some new flavors. are ignored.
But most American taste prefers
hroiled bacon to any other sort. 1t
must be hroilcd over or under n flame
not too hot. and it must he broiled to
Just the proper state of crispness-so
that IT is flaky and golden brown
streaked with tender lean. but not
charrcd at the edges and not SO dry
that il breaks the moment she fork
touches IL.
When bacon is TO be served with
some fried dish. the bacon should be
fried. and the other dish fried in the
bacon fat. For instance. corn fritters
fried In bacon fat and garnished with
crisp slices of bacon. fried liver and
bacon. fried tomatoes and bacon, and
many other combinations can be best
cooked in this way.
