Dolly Observes the Psychology of the

the average woman shopper will just as
i naturally gravitate toward the best arti-
Gle on the counter rather than the cheap
est, as "a child will take unless reproved

rather than the smallest.
| 1t Is human nature to pick out the
best looking skirt after one glance at

silken petticoats over which there is dis
played piscard $3.50, and up and ask;
How much is this one?'
OF course. you are hoping it is one of
the downs" as the saieslady slowly
arranges the carbon paper on her sales
book to her liking. and then glances up,
spying you for the first time as she says,
quite casually; "Oh, that one why it's
s12.5o; it's>a sample, you know"
The saleslady then shakes out the SHIN
mering folds of the petticoat and re-
marks that lit is great bargain"
The would-be customer, of course, does
not buy, but passes on Illuminating that
she really doesn't desire a $3.50 petticoat
after ali, but a $125s petticoat-possess-
ing, as she does, a champagne appetite
and a-beer purse.
A little experience 1 had recently, quite
sirlilar to this, comes to mind just nov:
A sale of "blouses'' was advertised at
one of the big department stores, and
with alluring fascination drew me down
town one hot summer morning, because
needed a couple for new waists than
already had.
Wien l arrived at the shop 1 found the
women around the counter where the
blouses were heaped up sky high as THO
as ants; I pushed in, however, and root
ing about, picked up a thin, filmy sort
of thing and quietly pulled it out from
the lot. 1 found that it was quite soiled,
but other than that nothing seemed to
be the matter with it. The lad" had
said very frankly that the prices quoted
were on account of the slightly soiled
condition of the garments, so l was not
deceived. L examined the blouse and
found the material exquisitely sheer and
SOFT the hand embroidery was beauti-
fully done, and having other things to do
than making handmade blnuses for my
self with tiny hand-run tucks, and entire
deux of lace, and sprays of embroidery,
| was not averse to keeping any eye
windward in the hope of finding a real
bargain
The blouse was extremely simple, but
lovely; just my size a No. So; 1 looked
fol the price-the placard above the table
said:
Handmade blouses, marked down.
l finally found something that looked
like figures just inside the neck. which

How the Submarine Fails.

Arthur II. Pollen. in the North American
Review.
The most questionable elment in the
American program is the very large
provision OF submarines. Fifty fleet

which are to cost in all nearly $50. 600
GOO make a vast hole in the half billion
that 1t is proposed to spend. AS it is
IN many respects the most striking. so
in another it is the most difficult item
to criticise.
Essentially the submarine is a
variant of the destroyer. once within
attacking range of an enemy it has
what the destroyer has not, the power
OF delivering a daylight attack, remain
ing itself almost unseen. But it's in
visibility does give it a function new
to naval 1t has the capacity to
pass through waters which are abso-
lutely commanded by surface ships
because it can pass them submerged
and unseen.
The use of nets. of mines and of pa
trols-especially when assisted by air
craft-these at any focal point which
can do much to obstruct their free
passage.
The highest submerged speed does
not exceed the half-power speed of the
slowest Warship.
The point is that if the ship is
armed the submarine must keep sub
merged, and if it keeps submerged it's
maneuvering speed is low, it's capacity
to get within striking distance is very
limited. and it's weapon very uncer-
tain. 1T the ship it intends to strike is
both at speed and accompanied by de-
stroyers or fast craft, h area of dang
er of the submarine and the intensity
of the vigilance are increased, and the
danger from submarines becomes alto
gether negligible.
