when the Fall Clearances came,
there was neither tropical worsted
nor a lightweight suit of any kind
to be had; they had all been sold
weeks before. | was ahead a not
particularly-coo $50.
Then there was the lawn furni-
ture which Phoebe and | went
shopping for in May. We saw ex-
actly what we wanted -- two Adj
rondack chairs and a bench that
could be used as a table. But they
came to $3.50, which seemed
rather steep.

liars because everybody else is
buying lawn furniture now" Phoebe
explained. "If we come back about
the middle of August they'll prob
ably let us have those chairs at half
price. just to get them out of the
place. Let's wait a while"
So we waited while. But when we
resumed our furniture shopping
some two months later. we found no
bargains in Adirondack chairs. In
fact, we found no Adirondack chairs:
there wasn't stick of lawn furni-
ture left. They also save who only
stand and wait. We remained stand
ing and saved $3.50 on the deal.
These are only two instances, but
they are enough to prove my theory.

Does your hair look dull,
slightly rs0usy?
Maybe it's just because you're washing it
with soap or soap shampoos letting soap
film hide the glorious natural hstrc and color
briiliance. Change to Drcne with Hair Condi-
toner. Drcne never leaves any dulling film.
That's why it reveals up to $3.50 more lustrc

Well, my system is the Deferred

summer like bolt from the blue

needed some lightweight suits. With

that they were beautiful suits - all
