fully accepted in the library.
The d'onor’s name will be noted'

From My Window—
Going Once
Going — Gone!
At the risk of becoming an
incurable addict, I threw cau
tion to the seven winds last
weekend and uttered two words
I am quite apt to regret for the
rest of my husband’s life.
The words? Seventy-five. The
place? An Auction Sale!
I used to scoff at the ardor
of some people as they follow
ed .blindly after the gabbing
auctioneer, hardly able to
breathe Until the very last
pickle crock and cider jug had
been sold to the highest bidder.
Then, in elated jubilation they
carried home th dir treasure’s—a
leaking feather tick, two rusty
flatirons, a -nightmarish study
in watercolour of George Drew,
a musty butter churn.
In truth, I scoff no longer.
I have experienced the ex
citement of purchasing merch
andise at a price I can decide,
rather than shopping via the
m oxr e conventional method
where’ articles are tagged at a
certain. price •— take it or leave
it.
I really hadn’t intended to
open my mouth, I’d always
been very careful at an auction
sale not to move my hands,
my lips, my eyes, a muscle un
til the bidding had ceased, In
fact, until Saturday I was root
ed to the spot, paralyzed with
fear at the mere thought oif
placing a bid.
I think, perhaps it was a ser
ies of three tiny remarks which
loosened my tongue sufficiently
to shout to my own surprise
“Seventy-five1’ when Some cur
tains were on the block.
Earlier, I had watched my
neighbour enjoy her first ex
perience as a bidding customer.
She assured me, “there was
nothing to it”.
Then I observed my friend-,
Obviously a sophisticated bid
der. She nodded so' slyly as
the auctioneer’s watchful eye
To enjoy holiday shopping
at your convenience. <

scanned the crowd, indicating
so silently and easily the am
ount she was willing to spend.
She told me with pride, “I go
home with .a lot of little bar
gains.”
The clincher was the con-*
versation I had with an ac
quaintance whom I admire
greatly. She said, “I just
started to go to sales this sum
mer but I have a bail. You
get the bug you know, Mostly
the things I want go to high
for me, but it’s lots of fun to
bid until it gets out of your
range. And once in a while,
you get What you want at a
price you want to pay. What
could be nicer?”
I didn’t get started to bid
until the sale had nearly ended;
and it took only one' bid tor
me to “geit the bug” as my
friend had predicted1. Every
time the auctioneer took a
breath, I was tempted to inter
ject a bid. I found I was eager
to bid on everything I saw,
useful or not, and.' the excite
ment mounted each time a new
