FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIE w

There will always be men and women
who never lack for opportunity 70 earn
money IN good positions. and quite as
many who have few or no chances, and
most OF US can tell where the trouble
lies. We have only to go into a shop, as
I did the other day. and find "A group Of
idle Indifferent salemen. somewhat given
to impertinence, and wholly oblivious of
the rights of the employer, from whom
they are receiving their bread and butter.
They allowed q customer TO go 10 a rival
concern and spend two or three hundred
dollars with a young man who knew his
stock most thoroughly and took pleasure
in exhibiting both HIS wares and his
knowledge.
Prosperous merchants owe more than
they imagine 10 the men and women they
employ. The unsuccessful business men
are indebted Ia more or less degree TO
employees who have no heart in their
work There is a host Of such workers,
and probably they think their duty fully
done by sticking TO their posts for the
stipulated number of hours. They ought
to find out their mistake after years un-
marked by single step OF Advancement.
There may be a few cases Of rank in
justice In the distribution OF favors. but
the rule Of precedence in degree Of merit
generally holds good. Men OF judgment
vehemently declare that opportunities for
both men and women were never so great
as in this twentieth century. but compe-
to their fullest extent We cannot sit
quietly in a corner and expect business

Of our ancestors. and Il passed away

frequently see a comfortable looking old

SHOPPERS TAKING THE hint
Christmas Buyers Making Their
Purchases in Good Season.
Helping Themselves and the Sales
men by Selecting Presents
Before the Rush.

Retail merchants are more than pleased
with the manner in which the women Of
Washington are taking up the suggestion
made some time ago by The Washington
Herald and are making their Christmas
purchases. early. The ladies of the Cap
ital seem TO have read il In their favorite
morning paper. thought it was a good
idea, and Immediately acted upon it.
At all events. the stores are receiving
increasing calls for Christmas things. and
the local merchants are pointing with
pleasure 10 the fact that a good part of
the Christmas buying is already under
way. This plan of going 10 the stores
now gives time for the tradesmen TO show
their goods TO better advantage, allows
time for proper selection, and the goods
can be sent home at such times as the
buyer suggests, and can be safely hidden
from prying eyes. There will be more
genuine surprises this year than ever
before on Christmas morning, because
thoughtful members of families have
purchased gifts far in advance OF the
day and have securely concealed them
for the opening at the holiday season.
The Christmas buyer who goes to the
local stores now IS received with a warm
welcome. The statesmen and women ap-
preciate the concession which the act in

upon customers. but TO do 1t gladly. and
