Either the English salesman is an abnor-
maIly tactless individual or he has been
accus toned TO generations of shoppers
whose mental capacity has been of the
smallest, for he invariably treats one as
though one were an idiot of the very first
water. Unless the customer knows exactly
what she wants and asks for il in language
understood by this popular people, she
runs very slim chance of getting any,
thing at all. Thus, she must not ask for
muslin" but for ''loDg-clotb," while, il
she wants some Swiss" she must ask to be
shown muslin" III she wants some 'calico"
for her servants dresses, she must not ask
for that, but for print" Calico" on the
other hand, must be asked for If one wants
some cotton or twill sleeping. She must
not ask for spool of cntton" unless she
wants TO be greeted with the stony stare
of vacuous ignorance. but for ''reel of
thread" and then IL may be placed before
her with the Sinking query: "And the
mex thing, midim?" for 1t may be noted
that statesmen and saleswomen-who, by the
way, have not attained the doubtful ele-
yatIon of our sales 'ladies" and gentle
"mdim" their feminine customers

OF getting what she can wear upon her feet
in this country is to 90 to French shop,
and then she has to pay about 90 per cent
more than In America. One gives guineas,
or $40, for pair of shoes such as an
American dealer would let one have for ST.
LIZ, however, one goes TO one Of the very best
Bond-street houses. where they make only

little below those of kindred American
establishments.
But to return to the shoppers gl0ssnr, Of
