LONDON AND NEW YORK SHOPPING
An American
Two Worlds

chant afford to do all these things ?"
the London merchant eXclaims. His
profits are not any larger than ours,
and we find that we cannot add penny
to the cost Of doing business"
I put the same question q year q go
to one of New Yorks greatest mer-
chants, and his reply was in two words,
1T pays"
"A woman may come out to shop
with her mind firmly made UP not to
buy q pennys worth" he said. but
our experience Is that If she is left
alone to wander about the store and
admire the pretty things displayed
there she will see something that she
wants, and with the average woman to
want is to have. our experience is that
every woman pays I'm the long run for
her entertainment in the goods she
buys. and that the store that caters
best for her amusement and entertain
ment will in the long run get the bulk
of her trade.
The shoplifter
do we lose anything by choplifting =?
Yes, little, but | do not think we lose
more than the London merchants. We
employ detectives. of course, who know
every professional thief in New York,
and who soon spot the beginners. IF
a professional thief Is caught we deal
sternly with her. but If woman sue
cumbs to sudden temptation for the
first time we let her go with kindly
lecture We realize that we have some
responsibility in the matter, for it must
be great temptation to many women
to see beautiful things that they cannot
buy within easy reach.
I'VE find that our liberal delivery
system pays, too OF course we lose
money on the delivery of the very small
orders, but we make It up in the long
run. We find that we sell thousands of
dollars worth of goods a day that
would not be sold if we did not deliver
them freely and promptly. We manage
our country delivery ourselves, main
tanning depots for our wagons at CEN
tral points and sending the goods to be
delivered to them by rail"
Another feature which the American
woman misses in most of the London
shops is the unlimited right of returning
goods with which she is dissatisfied
She is not asked why she is dissatisfied.
That the goods do not suit her is
enough for the merchant. and her
money is cheerfully returned. OF course,
this privilege is sometimes abused, and
there are cases on record where women
have ordered expensive opera Cloaks or
ball gowns worn them one evening and
returned them the next day. Even in
these cases the returns were accepted
if the goods were not soied.
1t must, of course, he admitted that
in recent years the more enterprising
English firms have approximated to
American methods, particularly in their
arrangements for delivery, but it is still
difficult in London for an American
woman to shop" as she does at home.

.Iananese Flower Eancies.

In Japan no man is SO great or SO
learned as to treat with indifference
the world Of flowers The higher posi-
ton he holds the more he is observed
to give his time and thoughts to flow
ers and their ways, for 1t is there men
of rank, philosophers and priests, learn
ed and literary men, besides ladies' OF
the aristocracy, most profoundly study
floral arrangements and are allowed
to practice this art as likely to inspire
gentleness, self denial, forgetfulness
of care and spirituality. Indeed, a
lifetime is none too long for a Japa-
nese to devote to the subtle meanings
conveyed by flowers and to store up an
appreciation Of their respective rank in
his own and nearby lands.
The flowers that the japanese en-
phatically reject from their hierarchy
are the rose and the lily These they
regard as crude and unrefned express
sions Of nature, and indeed this thought
is expressed in Japan of many other
flowers ecstatically loved in Great Brit
ain and this country New York Her

are used, but some persons prefer to
use the whole root and graft at the
crown. In piece root grating from
two to four trees are made from a
single root. A piece of root from two
to four inches long is used. The CRAFTS
are packed away in sand, moss or saw
dust in cool cellar until spring, when
the two parts will be firmly calloused
together. If the storage cellar is cool
not above 40 degrees they will knit
together SO that they can be planted
without danger of breaking apart If
the cellar is warm the CRAFTS will start
into growth and be lost.
Scions are cut in fall or winter or any
time before the buds swell in spring.
Only the previous years growth is
used in all ordinary cases. The scions
are stored i'll sand, moss or sawdust
in cool cellar, or they may be buried
IL q sandy place. 1t is a common
opinion that scions are worthless if cut
during freezing. Bailey, who is au-
thority for the foregoing information
about this kind of grating, says this
opinion is unfounded
A brief description and Illustration
Of the process are here presented:
To make a whip graft cut the stock
off diagonally-on long, smooth cut
with sharp knife, as shown in Fig
A. Place the knife short distance
from the end Of the cut surface 81
right angles to the cut, and split the
stock in the direction Of It's long axis.
Cut the lower end Of the scion (B) in
like manner, and when the two parts
are forced together (C) the cut sur
faces will fit neatly, and one will
nearly cover the other If the scion and
stock are Of the same size. The parts
are usually held together by winding
with waxed string or waxed cloth
bands, but some propagators discard
all tying of root CRAFTS

The French Nnhilitv

The French nobility is exactly twice
as numerous now as it was before the
great revolution Of 115 years ago, which
was aimed at the aristoc-acy and by
which all titles Of nobility were abol-
ished. Previous to that time there were
238 French princes and dukes; today
there are 400 At the beginning Of the
nineteenth century there We're in all
$4,000 titled persons In France, among
whom less than 10000 had a legal right
to coat of arms. There are now in the
thirty-third year of the third republic
100000 individuals duly possessed Of
patents of nobility. At the time when
the nobility was all powerful in France
the aggregate fortunes Of the aristoc-
racy amounted to one-tenth only of the
wealth by nobility today -Argonaut.
