TIE HORRORS OF SHOPPING.
Effects OF Hot Weather on the
Bargain Hunter.

The effect Of the extreme heat on that
body of women who AYE been vasnly
hoping for cooler weather in which to
buy those two or three last things Incl
dental to an outing and who are finally
forced to do their shopping the hottest
day of the season, would be ludicrous if
it were not in some cases really pitiful.
When one gets in a car, whether surface
or elevated, ii is impossible not to OBJ
serve that every woman and almost
every man has an expression of heated
resignation tempered with disgust for
this life and all weather pertaining
thereto. AS the cars get further uptown
the proportion of disgust gets larger and
resignation less and less. Soon handker-
chiefs are brought out and after some
futfss dabs at face and neck are tucked
they who have had the ~feretheught to
equip themselves with fans before leav-
ing home look around on their less for
tunate n~eigh5ors in mild triumph. the

their faces, and THE neighbours make
desperate efforts to appear unconscious
of their desire for fans and wave hands.

doubt was set at rest and fear turned to

When stores are reached the condition
of some of these shoppers is pitiable and
late in the afternoon It Is terrifying. On
one Of the recent hot days there was a
woman bent on doing a great amount of
shopping. who struck terror to the hear
of every other woman who saw her.
Each woman who saw her said TO her
self: DO I look like that?" and cast
furtive giances at the first convenient

the mere power of her bullying eyes. No
