There is no story so often told as the ofa story of how to buy. And yet it is never told twice alike, let a hundred men tell Ole self same story and you have the story from a hundred different points of view.

Eve went bargain hunting ; tried the sonaething for nothing idea and in consequence her female descendants have -been compelled to wear costly cloth- ing ever since, and sadder still, they are still afflicted with the bargain counter craze, just as the first gentle mother was.
