A LITTLE STORY OF A SHOPPING TRIP "Hello, Central; place give me muin 0201." "Hollo, hello," Is this Main 0201? This is Mrs. Ila'rtlott, Mrs. D'Anjoit. Tho sun is shining so gloriously and tho streets arc so dry out to the ex treme end of Onkdulo avonuo that I am going for a long walk before timo to prepare dinner. Can you go with mo in about an hour 7 Can't go 7 Christians shopping? Ho sorry; am sure the exorciso would do you good. Good bvo." .Mrs. D'Anjoit at the other end of tho phono after hanging up the re ceiver: "Hero its only ten days till Christ mas, coining Sunday a good day to tie up packages and settle this neg lected house so wo. can exist in it till this hvs'terical rush is over, (lo walk ing without any aim only pleasure 1 I trot to shop, shop, shop. The stores will all bo so crowded one cannot get waited on and Christmas is an unmitigated nuisance. I am tired to death of the whole thing." Meeting Mrs. Bnrtlett later in the day sho gavo tho following account of her own leisurely and productive methods: "Harly in tho sensou I inndo out my list, used odd ends of time in making few gifts and when out if I hi.w something in tho stores that apealeil to mo 1 bought it. That helped n great deal. Thou on Sun day after attending church. I seat ed myself in tho nfternoon to go over my list and see whnt I yet needed to do. The Sunday edition of tho Mail Triuno was certainly full of siiggos tivo help. In the first section back page I found tho usual advertisement of tho Iltitchasou Company's store, hut to my surprise as well us delight thoro was u wholu page of sugges tions instead of tho usual handker chief sire ad. It was an easy mat ter to nearly complete my list. I wanted nu umbrella for cousin Maude but felt that I could not afford to buy such a ono ns sho would want hut in reaching tho fitoro I found them reduced in price nnd rendily pleased myself nnd so cheap, too only threo dollars for a lovely silk umbrolln. And then small articles that give ho much genuino pleasure as gifts 1 Handkerchiefs that cannot bo told from tho handmade article nnd I woro out my eyes making six whon I might bo reading ft good book such beautiful gloves, good vnlues and drossy looking, too. "Monday morning was cloudy, so I loft mv work and wont out early and finished. Tho merchants arc so good to lot us know what thoy have but n personal visit to this store showed mo that more men cant toll anything oven in tho newspapers. Tho first thing that mot my oyos woro thoso benutiful art linen pieces. Tho linen is courso woven, showing tho native silkiuoss of tho flax in tho soft neutral color that haroinnizos with ovorything. If ono prefers tho white, beautiful Japanoso drawn work scarfs elaborately docoratcd with hand om broidory aro to bo soon. Thoro nro dainty dinphnnouR senrfa spnnglod to represent glistening rain drops and tho cosiest kind of bedroom slippors in a variety of sizes and stylos to fit every member of tho family. "I really was surprised to find such luindfiomo kimona silk in chrysanthemum pnttoniR and orien tal designs all so bewitching when worn' in tho bouirdoir. I think boonuso this storo carries such an otxousivc and oxclusivo lino of coats, suits and ono-picco drosses in such ft vnrioty of color and design and tho popular Gage hats, too little is said about tho doar littlo feminino belongs that aro so es soutial to tho finished toilot of tho well-gowned woman and that selected with care make a gift soom personal. "UostdoB being so well satisfied with my purchases I hivd a nice lot of coupons for my litlo friend who is working for tho Browniokar jmy rush is nil oyor, nnd I nin sure this is going to ho tho hnppioat Christ inas I ltavo ovor spout."
