Feminine Thrift In Philadelphia.

A woman bought fifteen buttons in a Girard avenue dry-goods store at 1 cent apiece the other day. Next day she stopped in for some skirt braid costing 4 cents and for payment presented three of the buttons bought on the previous day and a cent. The storekeeper says that he has had thirty years’ experience in the business, but this kind of legal tender is absolutely new to hint. —Philadelphia Record.
