He Respects the Woman Who Is

Under the title, DO You Know Your
Grocer?" the editor of Woman's Home
Companion makes this comment:
There are a few of the intimate de
tails of his business life which our
obliging grocer does not wish you to
know. And that is why he sends a so
licitor to your kitchen door every
morning. why he assures you that your
children will be served as honestly and
promptly as yourself, and why he is
highly elated when you put IN a tele-
phone and join his list Of telephone

be used without changing from the
