living with them.l
What are you planning to do today
and can't l heIpt"
1t was the Brides CHEEKY voice over
the telephone. Mrs Hooper realized
many times each day how much she
would miss the sound Of it in the new
home in which she would soon be settled.
Just as soon as lunch Is over,'' Mrs.
Hooper replied, i am going In town
to do my last shopping
"ShOppingl" exclaimed the Bride.
How perfectly absurd! Why shop In
| Mayfeld when you viii have a chance
so soon to buy every thing you need in
| real city!'
"Oh you know how I feel about shop
| ping here" returned Mrs. Hooper. II
know where everything is and I can do is
SO quickly"
Yes that's true" said the Bride. But
| yOuH have to pack them and move them.
| What in the world do you want to buy 2"
Roger must have a new suit and 1
want to get him his next winters over
coat, and there are really some very good
bargains at the sale that begins today"
continued Mrs. Hooper.
We'll l think it's perfectly silly II you
! don't mind my saying So laughed the
Bride. Roger win want something
much more up-tO date when he gets to
, the city than what you can buy IN a Nay
ted department store"
Now see here my dear" said Mrs.
Hooper. what Roger needs is a gooo
serviceable suit that he can wear to
school, and an OvercOat that viii last
him two winters, and / know from ex-
perience that IL is perfectly possible to
get clothes OF excellent material from
our local store II you know exactly what
/ you want and are a judge Of good quail
ity when you see It."
But you know Il IS never the latest
style objected the Bride.
I'm sure I never said that It was"
agreed Mrs. Hooper. but Roger is being
taught to be neat and well groomed just
now and a well made suit of serviceable
material is what I shall continue TO buy
+ for him for sometime yet, no matter what
+ city styles may seem 10 demand"
You are going to have an awful time
with Helen on that score" volunteered
/ the Bride. though you may be able to
! reckon more easily with Roger
Mrs. Hooper laughed. "Oh, I know Il,
Helen already believes that moving to the
city means that the era for wearing
clothes that I make for her has passed.
1t is curious how that child has in
herited her Aunt Bellies extravagant de-
sire for dress and all my frugal eco
nomical bringing up and the example Of
my own simple tastes has had no effect
+ whatever"
well. at least you have taught her
/ that care and attention TO every detail
/ Of her clothes Is essential to being well
/ dressed" the Bride went on. "She is as
neat as a pin. which is remarkable for
q child Of her sae, and I suppose if
love Of clothes IS born in her you'll just
have to make up your mind to IT."
well, are you coming in town with
me after lunch" inquired Mrs. Hooper
+ We've been holding this wire 8 long
time just gOssiping and have my pack

I "Oh. III GO" said the Bride. what
