thau an hour or so, more than u day.
IN fact.
or course. a woman sho uld have an
Idea Of the prices in other shops be-
fore she makes purchase anywhere.
but to gain this Information there is
a shortcut that does not take so long
as the grand tour of other DAYS. The
advertisements In the daily papers
help a great deal, and nowadays even
the smartest shops are quite frank in
stating exact prices in all their adycr-
tIscmcnts. one really doesn't care
much to know that such -and-such
mllliucr has some marked down win
ter hats To sell in January unless at
the same time you know how much
those hats cost-how far they have
been marked down. so with cut-rate
sales and all sorts of bargains The
nresont-day advertisement reader
wants specific fucts, figures and
prices. And the merchants know II,
and II you wish to save time, you will
read the daily papers and learn In
that way, right in the seclusion OF
your own homo som mething about the
prices Of the stores.
Then the store windows have done
n good deal toward keeping us APP
prisod OF tho prices and the special
lines Of goods merchants carry with
out our having to take the time to
enter the shops and take the time of
the salespeople. The careful shopper
always notes the windows. and the
prices attached to the goods there dis
played.
Another way 20 make sure that you
are not paying an unfair price Is to
shops at stores where you know un-
fair prices are not asked. one sim
ply must have confidence in the hon
cfty OF merchants And anyone who
has any knowledge or economy ut all
knows that competition will keep the
prices almost level I'm shops having
the same goods to offer. II you have
bought goods OF standard. good quail
ity at a shop for u reasonable price
on several occasions In the past, II IL
reasonable TO suppose that you will in
tho future. And 80 you shop with the
same assurance that you would have
had you gone the round Of the stores,
pricing articles at every counter.
ono reason why the woman of to-
day does not spend so much time
rhopping is because her time Is too
valuable Some women would even
prefer to pay price a little higher
than the minimum in order to buy at

dicato.-What Well Dressed Women
viii Wear
Preachngs concerning clothes are
of no avail to women. Advice they
will sometimes take; argument they
will rarely heed; praise they will alb
sorb, no matter how III deserved il
may be; but preaching against one or
many sins IN clothes is like throwing
grain on the sea, as far as fruitful
ness may be expected.
There are times when the reporter
OF fashions feels that the time Is ripe
to say Il word of caution, to drop a
phrase of opinion, to suggest n read
Justment Of ones ideas concerning
the junction of the place and the APP
parel; but, lie this advice stern and
sound, 1t falls on unheeding ears.
Two may listen out Of thousand, but
even those two cannot be counted on
to take their medicine.
What others do becomes such a
strong rule in dress that all previous
ly formulated rules and regulations
cor cerning clothes are of no avail.
Probably thc'e was "A time, or several
timeS, coming at irregular intervals,
when women actually kept to the con-
ventions laid down for feminine ap-
parel. They retained satin and vel
vet, chiffon and embroidery for oc-
casions of gayety or ceremony, and
they regarded the sterner stufs 8 made
of worsted and wooden threads az
suitable for the rough activities OF
everyday life.
There were whole generations OF
women who divided their clothes into
two neat piles of sheep and goats,
using the latter for the sterner duties
of life and keeping the former for Its
pleasure hours. These times did not
last for more than a half genera on,
If that. but they appeared often
enough in the scheme OF things to
keep women sanely balanced as to the
relation between costumery and op-
portunity.
There has always run n thread OF
sanity and wisdom thru certain
classes of women, regarding he divi-
sion of their clothes, and although we
of the hour may laugh at the idea OF
ones Sunday best" there may have
been far more wisdom in that KIND
of clothes arrangement than we are
showing today. However, there re
such variety of reasons why the
women of the moment should not act
or dress or think like the women of
yesterday, that II Is foolish to sign
over the good old days when wom-
an was not compelled, through social
emergencies, to keep In her best har-
ness from breakfast to midnight.
Snowstorms and Straw Hats.
Much Of the preaching that is
hurled against women today in the
matter of choosing clothes is their
porverse habit of turning the calen-
dar upside down. This was consid-
cred rather amusing when it began
about n dozen years ago. Straw hats
in February were rarely worn at that
time, but the individualists asked for
them and the milliners needed the
request. After a few experiments
what had been n capture, a fantastic
conception of clothes, turned into a

the new hats are the tightness OF the

which is carried out around the head,
tho elimination of more than one or

other.
