FROST is reported to have been seen

THE shop keepers of Saint Louis ar
all more or less acquainted with that
class OF people who are badly afflicted
with the buying on approval habit, Z"
said the general manager of one of the
largest retail houses in that city who
spent a TOW days visiting friends in Ell
Paso last week.

1--WE never cay anything about it
for that wouldn't remedy the evil st
all, and besides, 1t would hurt us with
bhe class which does that sort of thing
the most. 1t may sound strange, bus
1t is true nevertheless, that the people
who do it are those who are most able
to pay for what they buy. The buy
ing on approval plan is almost
exclusively the prerogative of the
wealthy class. They are the
people who either have credit, or
whom we are obliged to favor by send
ing articles to their homes On approval
and inspection on accoun. of their re-
cognized social standing. On other
occasions they are the friends or ac-
quaintances OF some of our best custom
ers, and we have to oblige them. or
they become offended and go elsewhere
when they purchase.
"Do we know the people who make
practice of the approval plan" Why
most certainly We do, but as 1 said. we
are powerless to do anything for fear OF
offending possible purchasers. For
example, the ladies' department makes
Q feature of sending ladies' wraps to the
residence of possible purchaser, for

me- jority of them do it because they

send 1t back to the store when 1t has
served their purpose.
81 know of one woman in Saint
Louis, the wife of prominent physt-
clan in the fashionable part of the city,
who had coats sent home on approval
for herself aud two little girls. They
were worn on Sunday, presumably to
church, and on Monday when the
porter went for the money, the coats
were sent back with the remark that

rugs and draperies are very popu-
lar, and we could double the size OF
that department If everything which
went out were actually sold. 1 know
of one thrifty housekeeper VINO had
several hundred dollars worth of rugs
sent up to her home on approval. OF
course they we're returned, and in fact
| we hardly expected that we bad made
. sale. We found out afterwards that
she was giving party, and that the rugs
f., were used in decorating the rooms. She
had not only laid them on the doors,
but had hung the walls with them, and
| no doubt succeeded in obtaining very
beautiful effect, but nevertheless it
was all Q dead loss to us. Rugs do
lend rich effect TO a room, and what
she wanted WAS the effect We we're
obliged to submit quietly, as the wom-

OF friends whom we could not afford to

"a curious thing about it is that we
notice an increase in the habit about
the time that the social season opens.
1t is almost invariably practiced by
those who are going TO give an enter
tainment of some sort, and in fact, by
those who are going to attend the ball
or card party, or whatever 1t is. We
can judge pretty accurately sometim es

She paid four hundred and
fifty dollars for it, cash. That night

her at the theatre. and 1 recognized it
as being one Of our coats. Some days
afte rthat saw it lying in one of the
cases, and asked the clerk in charge
of that department how 1t came there.

cot course many times things which
are sent out of the store are kept and
paid for, and it is this very fact which
makes it so necessary for US to be care
full and offend nobody. But 1t Is hard
to tell whether we have made q good
customer, or whether we have merely
struck person with the approval
habit.
There are some things which are
never sold without the understanding
that they cannot be returned except on
the day when they are purchased.
Fans, for example, in our store, must
be returned the day on which the sale
is made, or the money will not be re-
funded. Otherwise the profits would
