"DON'TS" WHEN SHOPPING
Do not forget that the finest of all shopping time-savers is the telephone —but use it scientifically, states the London Daily Telegraph. Make a list of what you want as though you were actually going out shopping, for it is surprising how you forget things when you get on the end of a telephone wire. Do not be indecisive—it wastef more minutes than you can count. If you are not sure that blue suits you, make certain about it by holding the colour underneath your eyes. If the blue gives more colour and depth to your eyes, go ahead and buy the material. If it takes the colour out of your eyes, give it a miss. , • Do not forget to start at the shop fartherest away from you, and work towards home. You will not get loaded up to begin with this way. Do not, if you can avoid it, shop in town between 12.30 and 2.30 p.m., which is the business girls' only time for shopping. Do not carry your gloves, wear them. Otherwise you will spend precious minutes—or hours—searching for them when vou eventually mislay them. Do not. if you go into a store or shop for the express purpose of " looking round," be afraid of telling the assistant so. A little honesty saves a lot of time . . . her time.
