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."

It. C. Atwell, president of tho stnto

Hogtto Itlver vnlloy. I did not men
tion nny plnco ns a fruit center. I
wns not roforrlng to fruit growing
or to localities suitable therefor. I
simply suggested thnt tho fruit grow
ers of Hood Ulvor, Albnny nnd other
communities which held nnnunl fruit
fairs might find It practicable to
comblno thotr displays nt ono plnco.
I did not know, until I rend your
editorial, thnt Itoguo Ulvor valloy, or

You hnvo no kind word to offer

Irrelevant nnd gratuitous assertion
that Uoguo Ulvor vnlloy produces

Your stntoniont that your locnl

your locnl horticultural socloty, per
mit mo to eay that thoro was no with
drawn! about It. Tho stnto society
simply Incorporated, omitting tho af-
flllntod branch" fcaturo ot Its organ
ization. This necossniily loft overy local
socloty freo to ptirsuo nn Indopondont

Tho question why your famous or-
clmrds, barring thnt of tho Durrell
Investment company (which won n
cup on Comlco ponrs) wore not rop
rosonted nt our display Is still open
to dobato. 1 hnvo shown thnt tho

Wo hnvo always sought to drnw

If you can dlscovor tho answer,
you aro clovor, If you can Induco
your growers to Idontlfy thomsolves
with tho rest of Orogon, you will do
a good work,
I suggest thnt tho boat way to do
It Is to publish this lottor In full, ac
knowledge that you woro misinform-

The Christmas bustle has come' a vast army of
good-natured, jolly and eager people, racking their
brains to think of some gift, large or small, that will
make somebody happy. There is good cause for early
shopping, it gives you time to make your selections
leisurely and with the proffered assistance of the
ialespeople, impossible later in the day. Thi3 week
you find the stocks at their fullest. As inducements
for early shopping we have made some trenchant
reductions in many lines of goods.
