The Good Shopper.

Some women are 'naturally good shoppers; they have the instinct for making a good bargain, and* the determination to get for- their money the thing they know they want Other women are naturally nervous and timid, but they should endeavor to shake this off and to gain confidence. When a shopman says, “Madam, I assure you foists just the very thing you want, everybody’s using it," do not forget that every shopman’s business is to sell whatever he has in stock, not necessarily to sell just what you want. If you have made up your mind to use a particular custard, or a particular brand of cocoa, of to buy a dress of a particular style and shade, hard it, or you will suffer disappointment, and be annoyed with yourself afterwards. Always remember- that the A. B. C. of good shopping is to stick eut for what you have made up year mind to buy.
