The Poetry of Shopping.

The poetry Of shopping ONE in with
those shoppers who are starved for ex-
element. variety and beauty at home.
It is not lawful: they have no right to do
it: but they have no society to satisfy q
hunger for the beautiful with jewels
and fine dresses on others if not on
themselves. They cannot afford the
theaters: they go to the shops. They
look at the laces and long: they
go to the embroidery counters and
fancy: they educate themselves in the
matter Of india shawls: they seek the
silkroom. brilliant with gas lights and
electric lights. and look at brocades fit
for the court of a princess. at silks whose
tiamboyant scarlets burn in the illumi-
nation. whose tender blue is the blue OF
spring skies half robbed Of rain, whose
green is the breaking wave of the sea,
whose violet is the hue of mountains far
away in autumn mists. and they picture
themselves or those they love robed and
radiant in these tissues. And if the poor
shopman is weary when they go away,
they themselves are refreshed for "a long
season of further denial and %renuncia.
