THE GIRL BEHIND THE COUNTER.

DO you ever think these days. about the girl behind
the counter?
We have just heard the real story the inside story the
ptfu cruel facts of what Christmas brings to the girls
who sell YOU madam your notions and handkerchies and
gloves.
Tired? Of they tired The physical strain

Zed shopping into nervous, irritable hysterlcal
human creatures.
We thought this was just because of the work.
1t isn't.
A girl out of big department store only few days
ago, cried in ouburst of tears:
at isn't the work. It's the peope!'
Madam, do you think it can be possible that she
you?
Do you plunge your hands into her neatly arranged
stock, toss it right and left, throw everything top Of
everything else, and pass without thought, while
She poor child, must bend and bring neatness
and order where you left chaosas she has already done
50 times today and must do so times more?
Do you make vexatious demands upon her time, de-
handing this finding fault with that, and then go
without purchase?
Do you stay in the store after closing hours, still peer
ing and seeming bargains while hundreds of tired girls
look after you and wonder, "Oh DEAR can't go yet?
Do you take this time Of all times for the graft
fcation of shopping, and order goods c. O. D. to
fictitious addresses?
Do you lose your temper?
Do you appreciate that from the shop girls side of the

of the holiday season.
Do you understand that by the time Christmas comes
there thousands and hundreds of thousands of shop
girls who feel only loathing disgust for the whole
Christmas dea and that it is you and your thoughessness
that helped?
This is simple plea, madam for the girl behind the

Do you wonder that by the time Christmas dawns

If you would only try to make it a little easier for
them!
little poiteness, little thoughtfulness, a little
human love-that is all that is needed.
Won't you help to make Christmas something for the
girl behind the counter?
