THURSDAY.
! Mrs. Hooper was dressed and ready to
go In town to do ner weekly shopping
and marketing when the telephone rang
Answering it Mrs. Hooper heard the
voice Of Mrs Chaplin at the other end
of the line.
Il Just wanted to tell you Mrs.
Hooper that I've just received a little
notice in the mail from a firm In the city
where I have been buying my clothes for
a good many years and they say that on
Monday Of next week they will have a
most unusual sale of womens tailored
suits They are letting their regular
customers know about it first so that
they may have the advantage OF the first
choice Of what they have before they
open the sale to the public. If you were
| thinking Of getting suit l thought you
would like to know about 1t.
II need a suit very badly" replied Mrs
Hooper, land If can get one at real
/ bargain 1 think l ought to get 1t now
I'm sure these will be bargains re-
nlied Mrs. Chaplin THE shop has very
/ fine expensive things and whenever they
| have a sale they cut the prices way down
/ to what you pay for the most ordinary
/ things In other stores.
THAT sounds as II it might be what
I've been waiting for replied Mrs.
Hooper, although ! usually prefer to
buy everything in Mayfeld, I've found
that often In order to get real bargains
I In clothes one does have to go to the
city"
I'm going to telephone all the mem
bers Of our economic section who are
struggling with that awful clothes bud
get you have imposed on us and see II
they don't all want TO buy suit said
Mrs. Chaplin In an expanse Of generosity.
But l thought the firm you speak Of
was extending this privilege only to its
old customers" Mrs. Hooper reminded
/ her
ooh that ls what they say" laughed
Mrs. Chaplin, but we quite understand
that it is meant TO include our friends
as we'll. Do you want to come up to
! the city with me on Monday?
Il believe I will go and see if l can
find something" answered Mrs. Hooper.
81 must buy a suit that will last about
three years SO it has to be Of good ma
terial and with some style to look well
all that time and I may not have such
an opportunity again to get one at
/ bargain"
That's fine" exclaimed Mrs. Chaplin
enthusiastically, wen go up on the :25
train, so we viii have plenty Of time
and I'll see how many Of the other WON
en- can get TO come with US"
| "Oh by the way" added Mrs. Hooper
as she was about to hang up the phone.
/ Il wish you would let your two little
girls Mildred and Jane come to a little
party Helen IS having week from Sat
urday afternoon from three to six"
/ They will be delighted to come" an
! SWefeQ Mrs. Chapiu "Tg
celebration or anything? ?"
IT'S Just party for Helen's little
friends, said Mrs. Hooper cvag.vely.
! We'll she can count on Mildred and
Jane certainly" said Mrs. Chaplin. "and
/ II you are at home Saturday afternoon
d IKE TO run over and talk to you
about few things. unless you can leave
! Betty long enough to come over here"
/ I'm going In town this afternoon" re-
/ piled Mrs. oper. "and to the club to
/ morrow and I'd rather not be out again
I Saturday. so I do wish you'd come over
/ to tea about 4 o'clock"
! At the market Mrs. Hoope- found
/ prices rising all along the line. which
( always happened In Mayfeld as in MANY
/ other places with the beginning Of win
ter. Eggs and butter were beginning 10
/ get more expensive each day. rleat had
/ advanced In price since last Thursday
and vegetables and fruit were already be-
/ ginning to be scarce and more costly
/ with the exception Of a supply Of apples
some oranges and grape fruit and let
/ tuce and potatoes Mrs. Hooper made no
purchases OF fruit or vegetables. decid-
! ing to draw rather heavily on the nre-
serve closet this week and conserve what
cash she could for the refreshments for
Helen's party. The dairy supplies ran -
trihe beyond their usual figure and the
expenditure for meat reached the limit
/ Flour and cereals were the main need
on the pantry shelf as well as sugar and
! coffee. She decided to get all the odds
and ends Of sewing on which she was
working out Of the way before she
bought another thing. so with the ex-
ception Of a couple OF hair net and
some sewing silk she had put nothing
On her shopping list. Betty's two little
winter dresses and her bathrobe had
been finished, but she had still to make
Helen's hat so she could wear It Sunday
and the material for Betty's new coat
had still to be dyed.
