The French are premiers in thrift. American SOL

subject to their women folks. Our women have
adopted the French idea in some ways In others

effect
Greater and greater grows the number who do

better still, visit the stores in person.
They are all set. They know what they are doing
and they are on their way. Delays in the way of
car service lack or crowds only serve to make the
thrifty American woman insistent on reaching her
objective. Living costs such and the value OF
money also such that the thrifty woman nowadays
