- USH. rush, rush!

~ progressive Americans and
every other nation is criticising us
for it. They say we rush to and
from our places of business, we
rush through our meals. we rush
to and from our social functions
and the sum and substance,of 1t
all is that we are living too high
and wearing ourselves out and
shortening our lives by this dread
full rush.
But say, if some of those all
wise people could see the women
rush at bargain sale as some OF
the Spokane young men see them,
what would they say? OF course
the boys play football, it is only
SISSY" that wouldn't, but listen
girls, to what some of the gallant
young eligibles think of the bar
gain sale day.
James e. Hough Ga favorite with
the smart set and a decidedly good
natured fellow)-"This must be
joke, great guns (his pet by-word).
Bargain day rush-Oh! heavens, l
never have even tried to think
very seriously about it, but foot
ball game would be heavenly by
the side of being jostled about at
bargain day rush. would at
least hate to get mixed up in one
And although Mr.. Hough didn't
say as much, l am sure he would
object to any future Mrs. Hough
getting mixed up in one of these
crowds.
Murray Davenport (who has
been favored by smiles from a
number of the fair young maids.)
Mr.. Davenport was somewhat
afraid to commit himself He
said: 81 never have seen any of
my friends at bargain rush,
but whether or not they should go
depends upon the purchases. Judg-
ing from what have seen on such
occasions, hope my friends will
stay away" AS a warning of pun
ishment Mr.. Davenport says there
Is always danger in crowds.
BERTHE BartIeson Ca mighty fine
fellow, so the girls say)--'I don't
know much about 1t. There is
great deal of excitement and |
don't blame the women If they
can save little. | think it is fine
If they are strong enough to stand
a center aisle rush" Without a
doubt Mr.. Bartleson would be
very considerable of the whims of
any one who at some future day
might claim his name.
Joe Tyler-This young man was
afraid to commit himself but a GER
tain young maiden told me that he
ought to be good at bargain sale
for the simple reason that he has
such an energetic walk, just like a
house was on fire. He could get
through crowd with little trou-
BILE.
Frank Gavin (the young favorite
with slow quiet manner and
fascinating laugh)-"To tell the
truth, as far as l am personally
concerned | don't believe there Is
such thing as a bargain in this
world. In every case we give full
value for value received, even If
we have to pay for it in part by
physical exertion incidental to
rush at cut price sale"
DR.. James Matthews (the prom
Using young physician. A 'fusser,"
but charmer, so number of the
girls tell me. Always calling"
said Miss -? Covers more
ground than any man in this
town." This is probably the rea-
son we couldn't get him on the
phone long enough to get his can
did opinion upon this subject, to
which man of his calling might
be expected to apply some such
technical sounding term as Bar
ganus Rushus Mania," or some
thing of the kind.
Lee Fox (known among the girls
as the gold brick" the one fellow
you can always depend upon)--
Very foolish, these bargain rush
IS. The women usually buy junk
they have no use for whatever. 1t
Is a case Of buying lace cheap and
then having to buy dress in Or
der to use the trimming"
r. T. Martin (another one of the
general favorites, From the fact
that the girls all like this young
man, he wouldn't commit himself
and thereby tread on the toes of
the fair maids, so a laugh was the
only response he made. His Opin-
ion might be very radical. Ask
him, girls.
