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 Lad, poor little thing. And she pavs 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 buy 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.
