Hard to Understand.

Just why woman. who is a shop
per by instinct and shrewd Judge
OF values in merchandise. should sue
cumb to the lures of the mail order
house II is difficult TO understand but.
unfortunately. some of them do. No
one knows better than the woman who
has had some experience In the buy
ing of merchandise how difficult it Is
to distinguish between the genuine and
the initiation even after a close inspec
,ion.. The goed shopper, when on buy
ing bent. does not always take the
first article that is offered for inspec.
tIon. In fact this is the exception
rather thnn the rule. The merchants
know IT and expect IT. They expect .
woman. II she is good shopper. TO
look around little"
II a woman should walk into re
tall store and purchase the first suit
that she tried on. for instance. the
shock probably would prove fatal to
the storekeeper or the saleswomnn.
The chances are that she will try OF
"A dozen suits and look at as many
more before she selects one that suits
her taste or pocketbook. and the store
keeper not only expects but wishes
her to do this He wishes her to be
satisfied as he knows that satisfied
customer is the best advertisement
that he can obtain.
