He was o dour chap who had
managed to keep out Of the big de-
partment stores most of his forty
or fifty years. Last Christmas,
however, he had made one foray
during the height of the shopping
season and had never recovered
from it. In his breast, a deep
seated prejudice against crowds
and rush became a conviction
which be would bear to his grave.
The lovely lass who sat beside him
the other night was apparently
anxious TO impress upon him the
fact that she wa a Woman With
a Purpose in Life.
I'm a working woman now
she said.
