for their friends
The custom Of boudo.r shopping, which
came directly from Paris, is becoming
more popular in New York every day,
and instead OF Mrs Vanderbilt ordering
her carriage and going to the stores
the stores now come TO her. A clerk
of more or less polished exterior, whose
manners are certain not to offend the fas-
tidious society woman. is chosen by the
store management. Then cab is ordered
and half filled with pretty things suitable
for Christmas presents Silver toilet orti-
cles, dainty things in gold enamel for the
writing desk. rich lace handkerchiefs and
collars, the huge belt buckles which are

displayed upon the counter. Above was a
placard reading, Diamond necklaces. only
20 cents She .confided to the salesgirl
that she wanted the necklace to give to
her daughter Biddy to wear to the Christ
mas ball, where she was going with Mike,
her "stiddy company" She poured the
contents of her ragged pocketbook upon
the counter. There was a piece of chew
