real courtesy to shop assistants, who

counter with disdain that expresses

gave us righteous cause for anger.
We give all the trogble we can, with
out a thought as to the time to be en-
ployed in putting away the failures we
so conteniptuously discard, and then
we stalk out of the shop, where we
have not expended shilling, and we
carry our heads as If we were the in

try who should substitute for our pres
