"CLOSE FIGURING.
How a Woman Upheld her Repu
tation for Economy.
She was the wife of a St, Paul
Street corporation president. Her
cne pet hobby was economy. Though
her husband made an excellent sal
ary, she was rigid in her rul -s per
tain-ug to the buying of the necessa
ries for the household. She would
haunt bargain counters and market
stalls for hours in order to get the
benefit of a reduction of a few cents
on the articles desired.
The corporation official with much
laughter, used to tease ' his beffer
ha.f about what he called her "stin
giness." So one day feeling hurt at
his ridicule, sue resolyea to take him
to market with her and demonstrate
beyoud a doubt tba'. she was a most
economical buyer. tie consented,
stipulating that he was not to be
asked to carry the basket.
Arriving at the market, she made
several purchases and then at one
sta'll inquired the price"" of eggs.
'What," she exclamed, "16 cents
t dozai'? No I indeed, that is too
Vet"
She dragged her rtluctaut hus
band after ber from one stand to
anotlnr still inquiring the price of
egs and always receiving the saute
answer until near the upper end of
the market. Here she found
dealer whe offered to sell her eggs in
any quanity for 15 cents. To her hus
band she said joyfully;
"There, I told you so. Why those
others were robbers."
Turning to the salesman, she or
dered half a dozen eggs, gravely
handed him the 8 cents t sked in
payment: and went home prattling
away about the worth of ecouomy in
marketing and the alleged willing
ness o. dealers to gouge the unsus
pecting customer- And to this day
she does not know that her husband
and his friends laughed over it at
the club. Baltimore Sun.
