gowns for another year, at least"

plica ton in such things for poor

They do not get new Easter hats at

get new hat or new gown would

How are they economical" asked
Mr.. Jar.

Easter hat, l did buy one, but for
all it cost you needn't worry. AS
for a street hat, I've fixed up a

You needn't seek information to
do either replied Mrs Jarr. Il
have learned one thing, and that is
that there is no real economy in buy
ing cheap shoes or stock ngs, either.
Cheap shoes ire mostly paper, and
cheap stockings. that is, cheap silk
stockings, last no time. The idea of
you preaching economy to me! Do

Mr.. Jarr was smoking, and he
looked at his stogie guilty.
And the idea of Clara Mudridge-
Smith preaching economy to me, or

Mr.. Jarr was about to remark that
CARA MudTidge- Smith hadn't old fat
legs. but he caught himself in time.
Yes, that does seem extrava-
gance, he murmured. Now that
the longer skirts have come back
1t seems wa>teful to me that women
