Shopping as a Business.
By RUTH CAMERON.

shopping as q Business.
why will women waste SO much
time running around department
stores?" a man said to me the other
day. go in town any day and you
Will see crowds OF them parading in
and out of the shops. Haven't they
anything to do at homer
quote this remark because 1t ia
typical OF the habit men have Of &C
custng women OF wasting time in shop
ping.
Not long ago a business man waa
talking to me about ono OF his en-
ployees. II don't know what we'd
do II anything happened to Mr.. r"
he said. Hes the man the whole
business depends on"
What does he do?" asked.
"Oh. he does the buying" answered
the business man. HE buys all the
raw material. If he didn't buy right
We might not have any profit at the
end of the year. The buying is the
most important part of the business.
you know
Now, the managing of the home is,
or should be, Q business. Preparing
food, keeping a house in order. maxi
ing clothes-all these are necessary
parts of the business. But the buying
of supplies il another part, and by no
cal buying. as we'll as economical u.s.
ing. is necessary in a home where
money counts. And economical buy
ing takes times.
Men make fun of the woman who
looks in q dozen places before she
buys. How unreasonable. There may
be few women who enjoy that sort
Of thing, but the majority are forced
to 1t. There are mighty few women
who wouldn't prefer to go to an ex-
pensive shop. pick out what they liked
best and say, "rll take that" without
asking the price.
Another phase Of shopping which
men don't understand il the time 1t
takes to buy little things whose pur-
chase involves more time than money.
If a man needs anything Of this sort
he turns the buying Of 1t over to his
wife. She buys for him, for the chill
dren. for herself and for the house.
Her shopping list often includes q dog
en- uninteresting things, such as stock
ings for her husband, q bit of ribbon
to match for child's dress. a tin of
some particular size for the kitchen.
ETC.. etc. She may have to go to half
q dozen places to match the ribbon;
she may have to walt at crowded coun-
tiers until she aches with wearinesg.
Do you think she likes it? Not unless
her home life is one of such deadly
monotony that it is a case of out Of
tho fire into the frying pan.
Will admit that there are some
women who spend more time than
they should in just looking at pretty
things. I will confess that wish wo-
men in general would give AZ much
attention to the economical buying Of
provisions as they do to clothing. But
it's all nonsense to say that, the aver
age woman wastes time in shopping.

mate business, and the woman who

Jurisdiction over the birds OF the
United States has been assumed by

oughness, is soon to determine 10y
means Of a national census. how
many birds and how many kinds of
birds it has under its control. This

will be given the tirds than ever bc-
fore: the law governing the treatment
of wild birds Of all kinds is very strict,
and under the watchful eye of the
Audubon society and other OrgAnixa-
be neglected. Woodland reservations
are increasing in number in all parts
Of the United ctates. So are parks.
Tree planting generally is progress
ing, and several bird sanctuaries have
either been established already vr

be substantial ground for the predic-
ton that within the next few years
the number of birds in the country
and continent will be greatly in-
creased. How great this increase
may be can only be measured by
comparison, SO that it il very neces-
sary that q census be taken now and
that it be as accurate as the circum-
stances will permit Popular interest
in this enterprise on the part OF the
national government should be great.
