SHE WENT SHOPPING.
And Miss Brown Took Mr.. Smith Along
With Her-They Had Free Lunch,
With Soda, at One of the Department
Stores.

WIN SODA, at One OF the department.
Stores.
Mama gets tired so easily Now
that we have her safely seated, let's
look around little bit" said Miss
Brown.
with pleasure said Mr.. Smith, who
was in the department store, but not
SO happy as he looked.
81 suppose all men detest shopping"
Il guess you never asked them to
shop with YOU
That's ingenious. Mr.. Smith. That
would be good way to ascertain
whether they do or not, wouldn't it?
But I haven't the heart to dissect a
plausible argument, especially when it's
offered in that spirit"
Miss Brown, you are eynic. You
are making me ashamed Of my real
sentiments
DO tell me how"
You laugh at everything that's Sc
rious, and my sentiments are serious"
This wouldn't be shopping at all, II we
talked coherently. You are evidently
melancholy. They say that dyspepsia
gives people that kind of thoughts, but
| think that those kind of thoughts give
people dyspepsia. You should avoid
them. Mr. Smith. Try TO be like me.
l never do any thing that would be likely
to give me dyspepsia. But let's get to
business.
I've been trying for long time to
discover something new in food that
papa would like. Here are samples OF
twenty-five novelties. Don't they look
just exquisite, And aren't the girls
who give them out just too daintilN
got up for anything. Just smell that
tomato soup! Mr.. Smith. we must try
some Of that tomato soup"
'Er-ah-of course, if were you, I
should certainly sample it. If l was
intrusted tacitly, as YOU are, with
commission from a dear relative,
should determine the merits of every
new brand Of tomato soup or die. But
as it is. my physician says | must con-
fine myself absolutely to vermicelli'
That was simply delicious, You
will never know how much YOU missed
by not taking it, Mr.. Smith. | shall
certainly have to order two cans OF
that And now that you didn't take the
soup you surely can't refuse to try
some of those little pickles. Aren't they
the cutest things you ever saw? Do
try che No?
Mr.. Smith, you're martyr Just
look al those vanilla waters. They're
made out of that new kind of cereal.
Don't they look as though they would
melt before they could be swallowed?
And they're just as good as they look.
too.
Really I must have another. o! and
there's some of that cheese they're all
talking about Have you tried that
cheese, Mr.. Smith? It has set the epi-
sures wild, you know. ! don't see how
you can be so mean. | don't believe
you've taken bite Of one thing except
the graham waters. Do look at those
doughnuts. swimming in that amber
colored grease.
Its absolutely the newest thing out.

good for anything I must have q

those new preserves which Alice Miller
/ told me about-an entirely new sys-

Dear, Would you imagine they give
| such a quantity away as a sampler
\ Why. did you ever think Of It. Mr..
\ Smith, one could almost lunch here
I for nothing. m DeHuniE to-there,
that girl wants me to try some Amerl-
can olives. And there's newsort OF

1 they give samples OF everything?"
] Now that there seems to be nothing
else in sight to eat 1t just occurs to mo
that you've had nothing to drink.
Come with me instantly and Wen have
some soda water"
Really, Mr.. Smith, that's very kind
Of you. indeed and ! shall avail my
self Of 1t. I'll take some ice cream
soda with fruit favers, raspberry and
pineapple mixed"
This store certainly ought to sell a
great deal. they are SO generous with
their samples" said Mr.. Smith as they
slipped their soda.
30, it pays them to be So"
Three days later, on Mr.. Browns ver-
anda, Mr.. Smith queried Well. Miss
Brown, have you bought any Of those
goods you tried when we were down
town."
II guess not!" she replied. How
