OF THE DUTIES
OF PROFESSIONAL SHOPPER
Life Is Very Trying and Results Not Always
Satisfactory-Living Very Precarious.

There are number of professional
shoppers in the field, and without wishing
to discourage any one it should be said
that at the outset you cannot make
enough to be self-supporting. The COM
mission allowed to shoppers is small. so
that u great many commissions must be
received daily in order to make such
work pay.
This means advertising. unless one has
very large circle of friends who would
be willing to give one the start
Then there is car fare to be considered,
and the wear and tear of clothes. for Il
professional shopper is travelling from
early morning until the shops close. The
clerical work involved, too. counts for
something.
Visit Stores First.
However. the first step toward becom-
ing a shopper is to make a round of the
stores. and these include every kind of
place where things are for. sale. not only
dry goods and drugs. but art stores and
antique shops, places where laces and
jewelry are sold hairdressers and mil
liners. corset houses and bootmakers.
hardware and groceries, together with
any out-Of-the-Way corners where the
unusual may be found. suppOSing a call
is made for such Il purchase.
When ones intentions are stated to the
superintendent. he will require a refer
ence-some responsible person who is
willing to stand as sponsor in money
matters
The next step is to secure commissions,
either by advertising through private
channels. No charge is made for your
Services-yOur income is derived from the
commissions allowed by the storekeepers.
This varies-it may be only q per cent. or
it may run high as 10 per cent, de-
pending upon the rules of the house with
which you are dealing.
This is not a large sum- you see, so
that unless the orders are large or very
numerous the income would be neces-
sarily small.
Advice From Professional Shopper.
In speaking to a woman experienced in
such matters. she said: professional
shopping should only be undertaken by
those who have a little money to depend
upon regularly. In time the business may
by strict attention be reasonably expected
to pay, but no person just starting out
could possibly realize anything like uf-
ficient TO live upon
Circulars to prospective clients should
clearly state your terms and conditions.
There should be an explicit understand
ing in regard to the carriage of goods.
whether paid by the shopkeeper or the
receiver; also what is desired in the case
of returned or unsatisfactory purchases,
for these will surely turn up now and
again. A shoppers life is not all plain
sailing.
Your own stock in trade should be
good health and good judgment. COM
bined with excellent taste, a knowledge
of form and color in relation to sartOrial
and household matters. more than pass
ing acquaintance with the needs of

These are the requisites of a successful
shopper.

A Way to Pack.

A business woman who makes frequent
trips abroad has evolved an excellent
idea for keeping her gowns in good con-
dition. Her plan entails considerable
work at first, as she makes pasteboard
packing boards and covers them with a
cheap percale. When these cases are
slipped over the board the ends are
sewed up and tapes to fasten in the
gown securely are sewed to the cover
at equal distances on each side and on
the ends. that tie in the center. The
garment is thus held secure In laying
in the skirt all the plaits, tucks and other
fullness are smoothed in place as 1t would
naturally hang Each gown or skirt
and shirt waist has its pasteboard, that
has been cut just small enough to fit
inside the trunk. With this arrange
ment dress may be taken from the
trunk without disarranging any of the
OtherS-NOgue.
