"Mrs. BowBer, on numerous oeca

"Yea. and you have apoken to me In

"Very likely I have. I know thut
when you have stated that you could
buy the regular dollar and a half glovo

"Yea. I know."
"1 pride myself on sticking. I'd
rather lose a thousand dollars than i
own up that I waa In the wrong."
"Yes."
"But In this case, Mrs. Bowser In
the rase before us I am going to do
an unprecedented thing. I am going
to frankly own up that 1 9t all
wrong. I am going to announce that
there are bargain sales. I am going
to own up that there are great big
bargain to be had at bargain sales. I
am going to state my belief that the
woman who keeps her eyes open for
bargain sales will save her husband
thousands of dollars In the course of
the year."
"Mr. Bowser, you are ono of the best
hiiMhuml In all this wide world," said
Mrs. Ituwser ns she stopped forward
ii tid gave hi in a wifely kiss. "Now,
then show mo what bargnlna you have
been maMllg,"
"Well, here Is bargain No. 1." he
suld ns he lore off (he paper from one
of the panels mid handed her three
pairs of stockings. "Those stockings

! bland smile on his face, however, and
I what could he any? They hadn't told
j him that articles bought nt a bargain
sale could not be exchanged, snd In
making his purchase he tin it never tak
en the size of the foot Into account.
"And these gloves." he suld ns he
held up a pair of kids green In color
and only one button at the wrlut "the
girl assured me that they were nit the
go. but tu order to make room for
brusa liedstends they were closing them
out I saved Just 75 cents on 'em."
Qloves tho Wrong Size.
Mrs. Bowser wears a No. 0 glove,
and those were 7V4. Hue never wore
a green glove In her life, and Mr. Bow
ser hndu't taken notice of the fact,
lie watched her face for a smile, and
with a great effort she managed to
work up one, ami then he picked up
another parcel and said:
"We have here some handkerchiefs
that were selling at 00 cents each. The
room was wanted for woolen blankets,
and so we buy the bandkers at ono
third the regular price. Tho saving
Isn't enough to buy a bouse and lot,
but every little help. Am I a bargain
hunter or am I not?"
"Of course you are, you dear, good
man you," wns the reply, though they
were mens bandkers and she bad
