Work and Play

New York Sun: Thousands of bus
mess and professional people, men
and women alike, appreciate the fact
that "all work and no play makes
Jack a dull boy" that outside inter-
ests do much toward keeping the
mind clear and the body strong, thus
making for greater efficiency Also,
that some hobby that regularly calls
them out of doors each day brings the
best results.
In discussing this subject, Oliver
Wendell Holmes once wrote as fol-
lows:
at is not good for man to work
all the time at one thing. Carpenter
ing is my hobby. This is my change.
| like to putter away at this work.
1t rests me, because it gives my mind
complete change. No one should
keep always at his business, whatever
it may be. 1t makes no difference
how much you like it. The more you
like it the more dangerous it is. Every
man should have an outlet-a hobby,
that is--in his life, and it must be so
different from his regular work that
it will take his thoughts into an en-
tirely different direction. l call it a
safety valve, and it is. My prescrip-
tion to the careworn business man or
woman is get healthful hobby and
cultivate it."
Many workers in shop, store and
office can testify that this prescrip-
tion is a good one; untold numbers of
men and women broken down physi-
cally and mentally under the rush and
strain of modern life have been re-
stored to health by following his rule

Haskin Letters
The Buyer in New York
(By Frederic J. Haskin.)

The buyer is person Of the utmost
Importance in the realm of woman's
wear. He is, in one sense, a delegate
from the people of his town sent to
the great central market not only to
purchase wearing apparel as such, but
also to spy out the land of fashions; /;
the metropolitan Interpretation of the
latest edicts of the fashion despots of
Paris. The women in his town trust
him implicitly. They will denend on
him, when he returns, to tell them
what is what in fabric and design.
They will select their gowns, Their
hats, their boots, even their handger-
chiefs, as much because he will bring
them news of new styles as because
he will offer them only these things IN
his store
He is, to be sure, limited by compe-
tition. There are other stores and
shops in his town, and other buyers
who go to New York Either he must
agree with his rival contemporary, or,
if there is disagreement, he must
either have better taste or more per

Troublesome Holiday

Cleveland Plain Dealer: Massa-
chusetts is the only state which an
nually elects a governor. Rhode Is
land was her companion till couple
of years ago, but Rhode Island has
reformed. A state election once IN
two years is now luxury enough for
Rhode Island. When Rhode Island
had annual elections legislature
passed a law making the first Tues
day after the first Monday in Novem-
ber a legal holiday. tt now happens,
therefore, that Rhode Island has a
holiday coming which she has no idea
what to do with. She has appealed
to her legal advisor and he has told
her a legal holiday. 1t now happens,
it stands as a day of rest; there is no
way in which a holiday can arbitra"-
lily be made no holiday until the legis-
latme acts. On this years bogus
election day, therefore, Rhode Island
will take an unjustifiable recess.
Schools will be dismissed and banks
will be closed, and everyone can do as
he pleases without fear of being
malapropos. The coming holiday
celebrates nothing at all and when
one is celebrating nothing he has 4
fair license to go as far as he likes.

buyers. Many of them are resident
in New York the year round. Others
spend the greater part of the year in
the market. Others go for brief WIS.,
it's of two or three weeks a season.
They are always changing, but the
most important fact is that they are
constantly and rapidly increasing in
number. The decadence of the art of
home dressmaking, the increasing
perfection of ready-towear garments,
the raising standards of dress-all
conspire to send more buyers to New
York every year and this, in turn,
means multiplication of manufacture
ing establishments.

NashingtOn'S Rabbit Problem

Portland Oregonion: The western
farmers dislike the coyote; and a
bounty is offered for its pelt. The re-
suit is that the coyotes have greatly
diminished. But the killing of the coy
otes has resulted in great increase
of rabbits; many experiments have
been made to diminish their number
by innoculating them with disease, but
without satisfactory results. Rabbit
drives" are the only sure remedy

that will be displayed for sale in his

store.
The larger the city and the larger
the store, the more specific become
the duties of the buyer. The depart
ment store in city of even moder-
ate size sends dozen men to buv
women's wear. One buys spits and
costumes, another hosiery, another
underwear, another kimonos, petit
coats and dressing sacks, another
children's things, another shirtwaists,
another women's gloves, another only
handkerchiefs.
The buyer, then, enters New York
with the definite idea of what ne
needs. His arrival is announced IN
daily trade publications, which set
forth in detail the name of his home
town, the name of his store, his own
name, the articles he will buy, and
his city address. These lists of buy
ers are even beginning to appear in
the regular daily papers. They are,
to great part of New York, the most
valuable and important news of the
day.
The morning after the buyers
name appears in the lists he is show
cred with letters, setting forth the
advantages of this and that particu-
lar manufacturing concern in purvey-
ing to his wants.
Usually, of course, he is a veteran,
has his regular houses from which to
buy, and tread beaten path. But,
naturally, he is always looking for
something new, something better and,
therefore, the sheaves of letters and
circulars that greet him at breakfast,
are not altogether wasted
Now comes the personal equation.
Some buyers-the most successful in
many instances-declin to accept any
courtesies from manufacturers, live
their own lives in their own hotels,
and seek such entertainment in the
evening as they may desire in their
own way. But a great number ex-
pect to be entertained. Members of
manufacturing firms take Mr.. Buyer
to lunch, take Mrs, Buyer to dinner,
entertain Miss Buyer at the theater.
Such comparatively innocent
graft" as this is tolerated, even well
coined, by the manufacturing trade
It is needless to say that it is more
than welcomed by the hotels, cafes
and theaters. Unfortunately, how
ever there are still few buyers who
insist upon a more serious form OF
graft. Their number is decreasing
they are frowned upon at home, and
in the market, and soon, happily, will
be extinct. Such as these actually So
licit bribes from manufacturers and
demand rake-offs on orders.
For the most part, however, the
relations between the manufactures
and the buyer are founded On strict
ly business principles. The buyer
must have stock for his store at home
and the manufacturer must sell his
wares What is true Of New York is
true in only a slightly less degree of
Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston and
Cleveland, and in still smaller way
of other wholesale centers. The VIII ole
tremendous structure of commerce and
trade in women's wear depends upon
the buyer.
His number is legion There is no
satisfactory statistical enumeration of
Imperial Valley press., 1913-10-15

suasive powers to justify his opinion
In another sense, the buyer is the
arbiter of the fate of the Individual
manufacturer. The manufacturer of
women's garments spends money like
water on Paris models, pays the best
designer he can obtain sometimes a
fabulous salary, does everything pos
sible to produce the most beautiful
and modish effects within certain cost
limits, throws around his salesroom
every possible lure and attraction, and
then submits his whole fate to his
final judge-the buyer. No matter if
all the artists and artisans in New
York praise a model gown, it remains
an absolute failure if the buyer be not
pleased.
This is not mere generalization. For
instance, for the fall season of 1912
certain costume maker enjoyed a
wonderful prosperity. He had de-
signer able to turn out at popular
prices dresses that unquestionably
were in the mode, that undoubtedly
were of high utilitarian value, and
that, consequently, sold at sight. The
buyers crowded his showroom and
his business was limited only by the
physical facilities of his plant This
fall, year later, with the same de-
signer and the same plant, his show
room is all but deserted He, on his
part, failed to foresee the vogue Of
velvets, plushes and other pile
fabrics, and his designer, a genius in
some lines, was an absolute failure at
draperies. The jury of buyers con-
demned his samples, and he and his
designer consoled themselves by quar-
reling with each other
If the manufacturer is at the mercy
of the judgment of his designer and
stands or falls by the final verdict of
the buyer, it is no less true that the
prosperity of the retail store is build
ed on the taste, the skill and the
business judgment of the buyer. The
buyer must know what is good styi4,
and yet he must understand also the
psychology of the customers of his
own store, as we'll as of all the peo-
pie of his home town. Not infra-
Quently a buyer will select a model iii
New York on the condition that the
skirt be made differently because
that won't go in Shreveport" In this
ukase of the buyer lies the explana-
ton of the difference in styles no.
tieed on the streets of cities in diff
ferent sections of the city.
The buyer who buys too much; the
buyer who buys too little; the buyer
who buys a line too high priced; the
buyer who buys line of too little Va
riety; all of these are certain to bring
disaster to the store at home, and are
equally certain to be succeeded by
new buyers the next season. For, af-
ter all, the will of the retail Gus
toner is law That viii may be af-
fected by the skill and persuasive
power of the buyer and his agents
the statesmen in the store-but it can
not be disregarded
1t is manifest, therefore, that d
buyer should confne himself as far
as possible for very small number
of articles. For the general store in
the small town he must buy every
thing-suits, gowns, petticoats, undec-
wear, notions--in short, everything
