THE Ethics of Shopping" Mrs. Wild
dringtOn says, in part:
Few of US are aware of the social
function of consumption. It is to this
subject of consumption that the econ
omists should give their attention. They
devote themselves to the discussion of
production, which is really dependent
upon and could be regulated by con-
sumption That is why I say women
can and should do so much; they are
the representative consumers and they
can regulate by their demand the whole
productive situation
Women in this country are so diff
ferent, and the situation is so different.
But / tell them they will get over it.
Nothing can be done unless they make
up their minds to go about this work
without regard to where it leads There
is nothing to be afraid of in politics,
or if there is it is time it was gotten
out of politics The politics, 1 think,
is going to be as good as the people
who go in for it, That cart of it
viii regulate itself The women will
soon find themselves in good COM
pany.
Frankly. I think when women have
gone so far as TO work in a public
way and through politics for reforms
they viii be ready for the suffrage 1
know they are Mortified at the men
ton of it. 1t is term they are afraid
of, but they won't be. and there will
be no reason why they should The

ETHICS OF SHOPPING. A NEW
CRUSADE FOR THE WOMEN FOLKS

Miss Starr at the Hull house in Chi
cago, and during the first week that
she remained there delivered her lee
ture twice. She did not attempt TO
penetrate the mysteries of the Chicago
department stores, and was much
amused When an interviewer asked
her if she had had any experience in
shopping in this country She ex-
planned TO the interviewer that her sub
ject did not cover the actual dicker-
ing for the goods, but the broad one
of intelligent selection and an eco
nomic education into the principles of
consumption.
Industrial economics and not individ-
ual economics, claim her attention. She
denies that she contemplates writing
book, being satisfied with her field
on the lecture platform. She declares
that she intends to study the indus
trial problem while she is here, with
the view to securing material to en-
able her to point out to US where we
fail. In appearance Mrs. Widdrington
is plain, with unmistakable English
features and bearing. She wears her
hair under a net, which holds it down
over her forehead in the remarkable
manner enjOined upon English women
by the queen. In her lectures upon

RS PERCY eWIDDRINGTON o.
III England is here to tell the Amer
lean woman that she-the Amer
lean woman-alone is responsible fol-
the production and consumption of pro-
ducts in this country. Mrs. Widdring-
ton is an uItra-English woman, who
sees things through insular speetaeles
and in honestly shocked at American
hustling ways and American news
papers 1t is said that she views the
morning and evening newspaper with
a sort of awed fascination, much as
very good person might contemplate
something boisterously wicked. STILL
she reads the newspapers.
She is here for the purpose of leading
her American sister out of the wilder
ness and teaching her that she, and
she alone, runs things here. as in
England. in spite of the general be-
lief that the tyrant, man, has some
thing to do with supply and demand.
The subject of Mrs WiddringtOn lee
ture, which she has delivered repeat
edly recently, is THE Ethics of Shop
ping
While it might readily be supposed
that the lecturer has advice to give
upon the vital subject of bargain days
and center rushes upon the counters,
she is barren of suggestions upon these
points, SIle treats n6f subject from the
standpoint OF the political economist.
She lays down the broad proposition
that the women do the buying and
hence can accelerate or retard produc-
ton; hence the women alone control
the situation, and the deduction is
simple-woman governs the production
of the world.
Mrs. Widdrington goes further. She
says that it is the duty of woman to
have her responsibility recognized by
appropriate legislation. and to that end
she advises that legions of clubs be
organized all over the land for the
purpose of agitating legislation. Just
what the legislation shall consist of
and how woman will be benefited by
legislation declaring her the boss of
consumption and production she neg
lects to particularize. She estimates
that it viii take at least fifty years to
lead American women into the
light. In England. Mrs. Widdrington
explains, they do things so differently.
If the women object to the character
of goods offered for sale they simply
call a mass meeting through some po-
litical club or party and have a grand
hurrah about it, winding up with a
formal protest or demand, which is
forwarded to some parliamentary COM
mittee, and there you are.
