WHEN SISTERS SHOP.

Of all the people who go shopping,
ceives so much attention from the
clerks as women of religious orders.
The girl at the bargain counter may
have a splitting headache and be cross
enough to snap your head off, yet at
the approach of the shopper in conven-
tional garb she braces up and waits on
her patiently. No matter how trivial
the purchase the girl at the counter
exerts herself to please.
One woman who had noted frequent
ly the unfailing courtesy extended To
women of the church asked an employe
in Sixth avenue shop why the defer
ence was so marked.
"In some cases." was the reply, at
may be due to the fact that the clerks
are communicates at that church. Still,
that doesn't account for the universal
courtesy. Probably half of the employees
in big concern of this kind do not
attend service at any church and OF
the half that do go there is a good pro-
portion of other sects. But that d.
versty of belief in nowise affects the
treatment accorded the Sisters. Possi-
bly, the sanctity of their calling inn
presses the faithful and the skeptic
alike. If, so their conservation wins
for them a greater show of reverence
than it wins for men in the minis
try. 1 have seen preachers who came
in to buy a collar or a necktie stand
around long enough to grow fast in
their tracks before they could get any
body to wait on them. With the Sis
tiers it is different. Respect for them
is marked feature In all stores, and
every last one of us, from the heads OF
departments down, Is anxious to serve
them"

REVIVED FASHIONS.

A writer in the New York Evening
Post points out that inarpropriateness
OF some of the old time fashions which
are being revived. Among other things
she says:
mot long since l came upon two
eager stranger-maids doing their
spring shopping in the crush and push
of Twenty-third street. The stride was
a mans stride. the shoulders were a

and-tumble mode of the hair dressing
of our day were worn Victorian hats
from the brims of which fell pretty
lace. six inches wide. To see the Wig
orous hands, already burdened with
small purchases, trying to push that
modest film aside. was funny enough
to secure success to pantomime, but
when for a moment or two it obeyed
and laid back upon the hat itself, the
discord between the strong, eager, in
quisitive face it disclosed and this shell
tering gauze was irresistibly comic.
Eyes sharply in search of an opening
i'm the contending currents of hundreds
of not too gentle people. brows knitted
with the courage of one not to be
daunted, and a determined mouth which
showed that resistance was a nativ :
quality, We're as incongruous with this
head covering of a shy girl of 1850 as
il the shopping sisters were in mas

"And the muscular arms coming out
of the elbow sleeves draped with Vo-

stretch across the display on bar

and arms.
