HERE and
THERE
By W. H.. Smith

I dropped into a downtown shop
Saturday where I have often gone
because of the courtesy and pleas
antness of the young salesladies
employed there. They probably had
had a difficult day and they were
nearly out of their products. They
were also almost completely out of
their courtesy and pleasant bear
ing. They were not rude but curt
and a trifie impatient not only to
me, but also to several customers
in the shop at the time. I could
excuse it because of previous ex-
periences and of my understanding
of the irritations of the moment.
I wondered if the other custom
ers could, or would, and I won
dered too if the proprietor of the
place would have been willing to
excuse the departure of his sales
force from its usual clever sales
manship because they happened to
be tired and willing to take it out
on the unoffending customer.
Whatever the answer I conclude
it is a good business policy to re-
member the party of the second
part-the essential customer.
At the annual dinner of the Ur-
ban League last Thursday T noted
something that may or may not be
significant.
An Episcopal minister gave the
invocation; the main speaker was
a Congregationalist; the Methodist
persuasion was well represented by
three pastors from st. Paul and
two from Minneapolis, and many
membership, so far as my OBJ
servation went, not Baptist pas
tor from either city-nor any Bap-
fist people save those officially con-
nected with the League.
For the most important gather
ing of the colored people so far
this year, this struck me as being
very peculiar.
I have before me a circular ad-
vertising the Holy Week Services
of the Minneapolis Churches, is
sued by the Ministers Council of
Minneapolis. It was printed by a
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1937-03-19

ment houses where admirable su-
pervision permits their young to
meet, enjoy and still imbibe lessons
of propriety, the quality of fine
competition in an environment be-
yond criticism.
It is so far and away beyond the
street corner commingling-the in
discriminate mixing of good and
bad-the surreptitious meetings of
boys and girls elsewhere practiced
that parents who can receive there
by a surcease from worry, should
unite in plans of praise for the ex-
celIencies of these institutions, and
should rise up and call them
blessed.
