| Did you excursionize on "the
day we celebrate ?" Did you
note the prize-candy fends pile
through the cars with the assur-
ance of Missouri train robbers?
The fusilade of missiles hurled
right and left, with practiced
precision, upon the unlucky VIC
tins, the only return fire being
that of epithets more forcible
than polite from male voices !?
Did you try to count the accum-
ulating mass of prize candy
packages, cheap literature,
cough drops, button fasteners,
popcorn, prize soaps, ginger
snaps and other commodities
appropriate to news COM
pany - 1t was annoying, true,
but so we're the still smaller
insects that buzzed and swarm
ed about you further on. The
bigger ones had "protection,"
for they swelled the dividends
and only drew dimes with their
bills the hitler ones swelled
your faces and drew blood with
theirs as freebooters and pro-
tected themselves.
Didn't the prize-candy fiend
pay for the right to rear his
monument on your lap till you
could scarce peer over it at your
neig!lbor This was trade
"a triile compulsory, mayhap.
One lady, who couldn't, like her
husband, threaten to impale the
fend on some roadside fence
rail, relieved her mind by say
ing: at reminds me of our suf-
ferings before the shopping re-
form"
The old, time wrongs yet
ranked in her breast. Shed
not forgotten the shrinking feel
ing in entering a store; the tone
of hotel clerk austerity and con-
descension on the part of the
salesman the mental debate
which to accept, the goods that
didn't suit her or the chances of
safe retreat. There was the
gauntlet of all those men be-
tween her and the street -smil-
ing, but savage. If she wasn't
outllanked, might there not be a
man lurking at the very door
with a great lasso ? If she was
only home! 1t wasn't much;
it might do for something else
a dress or 4 duster or some
thing. Better pay it and get
there.
Is it overdrawn ? Well, ladies
say they Aasr many a time and
oft bought things they didn't
want to save annoyance, and
certain stores they wouldn't
enter again on any account.
Aren't you glad the shopping
reform has made it easier and
pleasanter for you in we'll
regulated stores, some more
than others, of course. We're
not perfect yet; we're learning,
and you are teaching us; we're
ready for another lesson.
