cant stare toward another part Of the room as if
her mind was wandering after the ghosts of de-
parted saints.
While Woman No. was still standing at the
counter trying to select from the few bolts Of
goods, her purchase, Woman No. 2 entered and
advanced to the same counter. At once the clerk
assumed patronizing air. deserted the first
customer and with all the grace of a perfect clerk
began to show Mrs. No. bolt after bolt that was
for sale in this department We could not help
noticing the difference in the attitude of the
clerk toward the two customers, and we began
was the wife of laboring man, Mrs. No. 2 was
the wife of wel-to-do citizen.
The question now arises: Was not the money
of Mrs No. just as good to the proprietor of the
store as that of Mrs. No. 2? Ought social envir-
onment make any difference to the "hired serv-
anti of any store? Should not common courtesy
be extended to the lowly as we'll as to member
of Society"
The answers to these questions are obvious to
people of high ideals, yet possibly there might be
some excuse for the treatment extended by the
one behind the counter, but to one not on the in
side, it looked like an act Of wilful neglect-an
effort to snub the one, and open endeavor to fra
ternize with the other, both attitudes having a
tendency to breed contempt toward the clerk in
both customers minds.
This attitude of clerk toward customers
would lead one to believe that the clerk was de-
ficient in the art of true salesmanship and also
lack in one of the most essential elements of the
craft-that of innate politeness, for Mrs. No.
deserved just as much consideration and atten-
ton as did Mrs. No. 2.
Hence we came to the conclusion that in this
special case at least, there is necessity of con-
tinuing the classes in craftsmanship in our COM
mon schools that was inaugurated last winter and
which was under the supervision of one of our
leading dry goods men. If we remember rightly,
this supervisor in his lectures was very explicit
in his application Of this one element of true
craftsmanship courtesy, for, if the re-
ports were correct the lecture did not forget to
impress this upon his class every night, or in all
of his twelve lectures.
Do not take that all the clerks in the city are
of the same kind, but it is evident that there are
quite few from the complaints registered, and it
would be well if the proprietors would take day
off and find them out.-Richmond Labor Herald.

observation having been cited to the fact that
some of the clerks in this establishment land

saleslades.
On the particular occasion referred to, we
were led to believe that the complaints were well

woman, wife of one of our we'll known laboring
men, looking over the goods displayed on the
counter in certain department with the evident
intention Of buying, while the clerk stood indif-

selling the woman anything, or even displaying
any effort in helping the woman to select that
which she evidently desired and was undecided in
the selection. In fact the clerk stood with va

Claring Headlights

The greatest menace to pedestrians and auto
mobiles at night is glazing headlight. Fortu-
nately no calamities have taken place in Rich
mond, but this condition is no safeguard for the
future. At Lancaster, Ohio, one night last
week, q glazing headlight caused an automo-
bilist to crash into telegraph pole, killing a
young man outright. Carrying these glazing
headlights is not only insolent and unlawful, but
also murderous practice. The full weight of
the law must be directed against drivers of these
machines to bring them to time.

Manley's first thought, in his dilem.

watch, could get him to the Central
Tower building in time.
His next thought, however, took him
tearing down the village street like a
madman. For the name Of "Cedarton"
had brought into his mind yet another
name, the name of Bobby Evart." And
Bobby Evart, who had his workshop
and hangar on the southerly outskirts
Of that village, had been the first of
the Racquet club members to forsake
automobiles for aviation, and startle
Long Island by his early morning
hydroplane maneuvers over suburban

He turned to his helper. "Hey, Brown.

But what speed can you get out OF

clambered aboard the chassis and
struggled with his seat-straps.
Evart, who had been STOPPING over
his engines, looked up.

Manley's heart beat faster.

in at his feet. and struggle into It.
As he did so the earth seemed sud-
denly to fall away from him. Villages
became spangled checker.boards Of
lights. Highways became winding
strings Of pearls.
Manley forgot the chilliness striking
into his bones. He forgot Margery
Golden and Legar. He forgot the ORR
gin Of his mission that brought him
winy,ng through the midnight heav.
ems. He forgot the fact Of his own
puny existence and the trivial ends to
which it had been given over. All
these he forgot, completely and utter

tho twinkling shore lights Of South

They were still planning down, gently,
like settling sea bird. with the tilted
planes veering little westward to es-

Manley thought, for moment, that

Then he felt sure that Evart had also
misjudged his height, that his stabil-
