BAD MANNERS IN SOME SHOPS
pereiIousness Of SaIeswomen In
BIG Establishments

An amusing discussion took place
the other day in the dressing room

women were laughing over the gran
deur of the saleswomen in a certain
Walnut street shop. The shop was
offering reduced rates. and one of
them sauntered in from curiosity
what woman can resist looking over
what may prove to be bargain? The
saleswoman in charge seemed quite
Indifferent, and upon Mrs X making
some critical remark about a simple
little gown marked down to $16.5
she raised her penciled eyebrows and
looked pityingly at the customer, as
though sizing her up according to the
gowns value. Oh" she drawled, but
that, you know, you would only find
on an expensive gown-a $50 gown!"
Mrs. X mimicked the grande maniere
Of the saleswoman quite out of all pro-
portion with her evident regard for
$50 gown. and her companions laughed

Simplicity is art, understood by the
ignorant and appreciated by the intel
ligent.. Nt.-
Great men are simple, and their
tastes are simple. They dress simply.
never ostentatiously: their watch
chains. II they have any. are never
large and conspicuous. Occasionally
they wear ring. but only one ring.
Their natural appetites crave simple
food. and not the rich viands and the
mysterious sauces which can tickle
only the palate Of the epicure. who
lives to eat rather than eats to live.
The great authors. those who have
written the living words which never
die. write in simple diction. use Ian
guage as q means to an end, not to
make display of 1t.
Many years ago, q then somewhat
unknown man, by the name Of Dan
lei DeFoe. made a story out Of the
experiences OF a shipwrecked sailor
and called his hero Robinson Crusoe."
For a generation this narrative was
read by youngsters, and 1t was looked
upon as q children's book. Today 1t
has passed beyond the juvenile class
and is considered one Of the finest ex-
amples Of simple English narrative.
having . place in the libraries Of the
world.
Lincoln was not the only orator at
Gettysburg. Competing with him-if
/ may put II that way-was one OF
Americas greatest scholars; yet the
simple words Of Lincoln have become
an English classic, and millions Of
people can recite the whole speech
from memory. while the words Of the
scholar are almost forgotten. and not
one In ten thousand of the men Of
today know what he said; In fact.
most Of them do not know that he
spoke at all.
Simplicity lives. its opposite dies
young. Great men Of every class
have been simple and their reputa-
lions have been built upon simplicity.
They not only understand what they
say, but they say 1t SO that others un-
derstand It.
Education by itself does not produce
an educated man. Education is sim.
ply one Of the elements which go to
round out a man and make him a bet
ter citizen, enabling him to accomplish
better results. Education. academic
ally speaking, is not necessarily sim
pie. 1t is more or less complex. There
fore, the educated man Of use in the
world has mixed simplicity with his
learning that 1t may be in a condition
to be assimilated.
Not what we know. but what we do
with what we know. counts; and we
cannot distribute either learning or
experience, or use them to advantage,
unless we have prepared them to meet
the exigencies Of the times, made
them SO that they are Of use.
The greatest leveling power in the
world. that which makes things good
for something, is common simplicity
mixed with common sense. The two
are practically synonymous. for one
cannorexist without the other. Where
they don't exist, all the learning in
the world. and all the experience pos
sible for one to obtain. are like so
much gold buried beyond the reach of
man.
Be simple. be clear. Don't swallow
dictionary and exhale words. which
like dust, blind the eye and clog the
ear.
