THINK BEFORE YOU PURCHASE

r\ISAPPOINTMENT m our property after it has become ours — very *J probably by the sweat of bur brows — is. a failing common to all humanity, but especially rife among: the female .o f the species. The only way to chodse clothes is. to study line and color, and so make-sure that what we buy will riot pall after it is brought home. The safest i -way to buy a hat is to wait until the, perfect chapeau is seen m a window or through a doorway, and you know it was meant for you from the beginning. . . ... The same thing- applies, to shoes— it is the hardest thing m the world to find the pair that suit you when you go out with the definite "idea of getting brown or black or beige of a certain style. On these occasions one invariably sees every other kind of shoe, and after toiling up and down 'hot streets the result is generally .a pair of. shoes that is utterly useless and forAvhich you have paid; twice as much as you can ■' '.afford.; ';■'■••'■■' .'.■.■■• . ;• ■ \ ■-..

But wait until you are passing a shop, and among all that fascinating footwear, there may be just the one pair that really pleases you. •Go m and buy. ■ " . ' ■ ■ ' -.•'•■ ■-. . : • . .
