Limit of Financial Embarrassment Humorously Described. Two society women were talking together a few days ago, each baving run up to town on some important business matter. They were sitting In the station waiting for the special Long Island train on which each was to make her return home.

Noting her friend already seated and absolutely bundle-leashe at once began her discourse, volubly extolling the charms and amazing cheapness of some ot the midsummer bargains of which, as the maid bore ample evidence, she had so plentifully availed herself.
