-sis3. UMIT ED Near City Hall Mr. and Mrs. John Inglls, Fullers Lake, are holidaying in Vancouver for a few davs. She doesn't know how you do it! You feel a little embarrassed and sorry for her.

She looks so admiring and helpless, so envious, and so so ineffective Her clothes are always so bad, poor little thing. And she pays too much for them. Her home is furnished with all the wrong things. She seems to have a genius for wasting money. When she goes out to buy anything, soap or silverware, or lingerie or lamps, she's sure to turn up with something nobody ever heard of before and doesn't want to hear of again.

She is that eager, but not very bright, little woman who, "my dear, doesn't ever read advertisements." Who doesn't know what to buy, or where to find it, or what to pay for it. Who doesn't know values and can't compare them. Who doesn't know that when a new style, or a new convenience, or a new anything arrives, one sees it first in the advertisements. One really gets a little vexed with her But let's not waste too much time on her. It's about time for you, dear lady, to have your daily look through the advertisements.
