WOMAN HAS IT.

No one who have not taken a wide survey of mankind and studied closely tho bargaining instinct can understand tho phenomenon of shopping°or make proper allowance for its devotees. Commonly one hears tho East quotccP-Egypt, Turkey, Tunis—as tho region whero the bargainer has brought his art to tho highest .perfection, and mndo it one of the most essential features of .tho comedy of life. There the most that you ran „ expect to do at a first interview is to hint to t. rtately and hospitable morcnant the nature of a purchase which you may perchance make. Then you toko cofleo and return homo; and the play proceeds for days. But that tedious p/ocoss cannot bo . tolerated in a pushful go-ahead country. Shopping to-day—succcsstul shopping—is a matter of knowledge. One must know values, and havo a full appreciation or ana- ' v lity. Men do not understand shopping, and tho average married man is inclined to laugh .at his wife when she talks about bargains in Millinery or Coats or Gowns, but that samo man expects praise from Mb wife, when ho has happened upon a bargain in shares or land or something else. Men may cultivato tho bargaining instinct tor business purposes, but woman has it. .
