Straight pleated skirts any one can
make quite simply-all save the actual

the sunburst pleated skirt, decided to
tell all my young girl friends about 1t.
The frock in question came from a

and was specially pleated in that way.

Mrs. -, a neighbor, owned a house
in another part of town for many years.
Numerous offers were made to her for
the house, but she always declined.
Seems to me-" she used to say, that
If the house is worth $4,000 to them
1t must be worth more than that, else
why would they offer me that amount?"
AS time went on the offers did in
crease in amount, and Mrs. - went
about boastful of her sagacity. None
was going to take advantage of her sex
and buy the house for penny less
than it was worth.
Then about two years ago interest in
the house seemed to decline. Mrs. -
ascribed 1t to the cunning of real estate
agents who were trying to intimidate
her and pretend there was no market
for the house. Anyway, she was conf
dent-the last price put on 1t had been
81 900, and she could get that any
time.
Shortly after Mrs. found herself
short of cash. and found it urgently
necessary to sell the house. She imme-
diately consulted all Of the agents and
advertised it for sale as we'll Offers
struggled in, but most Of them were
characterized by Mrs. - as being
"ridiculously low"
Eventually she sold the house, pressed
as she was by dire need, for $500.

Straight Talks to Women About Money
ny MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN.

What is the lesson to be learned? A
just profit Is all one should expect. BY
trying to squeeze every last cent out Of
bargain one makes 1t Improbable for
any future buyer. If the buyer cannot
see a prospective profit for himself he
will not buy.
The woman referred to would have
been in better position had she sold
the house many years ago for $4,000.
Her money reinvested would have ap-
preciated to almost twice that amount.
Whether 1t Is house or q hound,
take fair profit when 1t Is available,
and don't begrudge the buyer his profit
BY squeezing out all of the profit one
may squeeze ones self out of the bar
rain and out of an opportunity.
