WHEN WE co SHOPPING
BY MRS. HARLAND III. ALLEN.

chairs will outwear by many years
oiIcloth and other limitations. They
are both presentabie and durable.
Good china will hold it's color and not
chip or crack readily. If one can sf.
ford it, 1T is well bought.
That is the keynote, however, of the
whole shopping problem-if one can
afford it. If one cannot afford a show
piece then to buy one is out of the
question entirely. No shopper should
think, however, for a moment that all
of her shopping activities must be
aimed to obtain only utility in pur-
chases. Good pieces are not neces-
wives with more than a few good
have been economical in wear how
ever expensive in price.
When choosing the good pieces"
for your home, select those that will
be most useful and il keeping. A
fragile antique chair may be beauti.
full piece by itself, but ii would be out
of place in a home that could not
match it with like pieces. On the
other hand, a rich, comfortable lounge
might add much, to the room in
beauty, color and comfort Good
pieces require as much discrimination
as any others.
In buying these unusual things the
shopper will find that good" articles
of use are always preferable to
good" articles of decoration. Of
course. in any case, mere spending
viii not alone guarantee beauty to a
home. Taste must temper judgment.
Evening star., 1927-04-22
Essentials and Luxuries.

Is there shopping sense in buying
one or two good pieces for the room,
linen closet or china cupboard? A
few questions to that effect have pro-
vol<ed this discussion. Few homes
have not some show pieces. OF
course, what is a show piece in one
home may be only a piece of every
day use in another. quality and
wealth are relative.
Certainly no shopper should pur-
chase show piece until she has ac-
quired all of the necessaries. One
fine linen guest towel will not dry
hands and faces at the end Of the
week when the linen supply is ex-
hausted Nor will an expensive chair
seat more than one person. Essentials
before luxuries should always be the
rule.
Few will question the advisability
Of having a full dinner set or a set of
all the necessary pieces before buying
china pieces for 'show." 1t is true
that show pieces may be used, but it
is also true that they rarely are.
Furthermore, it is wasteful to use fine
china for everyday service unless one
can afford to replace it. Breakage is
inevitable. Loss is minimiZed by pru-
dent shopping.
One or two good pieces may be eco
nomical purchases at times. A fine
linen bedspread will outwear q few
cheap. cotton ones and present a uni
formly attractive appearance. Leather
