The Science of Shoppipr,

See the lady. Is she pretty lady?
She is a pretty lady-that is to say. if
accused of being pretty she would deny
it; if not so accused she would be as
mad as wet hen. Is the lady rich? 1t
looks like it. She does not see anybody
else in the world. Oh, yes, she is rich.
What is the lady doing? Let us see.
See her go into the store. Did she
step on the pretty boy who opened the
door for her? Not quite, but the boy
had to hustle to escape. Why does the
baldheaded man behind the counter
have such hard work to look pleasant?
Some people find it hard to look pleasant
anyway. Does he enjoy pulling down
all the goods in the store. as the rich,
pretty lady requests? He should. She
will probably buy large amounts of the
goods. But no. See! She is leaving
the store without buying anything.
Does the baldheaded man seem tired?
He seems tired. He has half a days
work before him to put the goods back
where he found them.
See the lady. Is she having lots of
fun? 1t is to be hoped so. Nobody else
is. Does she work other stores in the
same way: She works large number
of other stores in just the same way.
Does she buy anything?
Not solitary blamed thing.
What is she doing?
She is shopping.
Is the lady shopping? She is shop
ping. Do many ladies shop? They all
shop. Is there any cure for the habit?
No.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
