The result is that American women spend money in a hit-or-miss fashion What is absolutely shocking to their more conservative British sisters, T could mame a dozen American women of my acquaintance who, though they have no allowance, have credit accounts at s of the largest shops in New York. Their {bills are paid monthly or quarterly by thelr husbands, sometimes with and som times without lifted eyebrows. If they have not accounts at the shops they flelight in having things sent home “C. O. D.," as they call it, which means *‘eagh on delivery. It can be seen that such a method of paying for what one buys leada to ecklessness, which could not exist in connection with an allowance, The Eng- ‘shwoman who has a certain sum for “nin-monev" annortlons {t to cover all the wundries. She buys carefully and thoughtfully, and not often on the apur of the moment, unless she sees a really excellent bargain, She knows that her one hundred and fifty must cover the year, and she does not spend {t all in Sep- ‘tember. Then, too, the American shopkeepers have the most accotnmodating system of ‘receiving back the goods a customer decides she does not want. ‘The American women buy on a le than do E shwom One seldom finds a New was Lycurgus.
