NIGHT SHOPPING.

From C. H. H., Washington.)
If Mrs. E. M. M, who recently ad-
vocated a return to evening shop
ping hours for Washington's De-
partment stores, had to work behind
counter for just one week as
sales lady she would not be ad-
vocating a return to the outmoded
1880 business practice of evening
shopping.
Surely this lady does not think for
a moment that of the thousands OF
women shoppers who do the stores
daily all are childless! I sympa-
thize deeply with Mrs. E. M. M.
who apparently has no nearby rela-
tive, or one good close friend, who
would look after her kiddies now
and then so she could 60 shopping
alone. However from the number
of women shoppers who appear in
the stores it is apparent that
great many of them have found
means to overcome the trying Or
deal Of having to bring their kid
dies With them.
Perhaps Mrs. e. M. M. does not
know it, but the average sales lady
who greets her in a store also has
home to look after and meals to
cook before getting to work by 9:lC
m. and after going home in the
evening where she arrives on the
average of about 7:15 pm. A great
majority of these sales ladies are
mothers of small children, too, who
have had to go to work either as
the sole means of support for her
family or to augment the small in
come of her husband.
A sales girls life is no picnic even
if you do look at her through rose
colored glasses. She has to be cheer
full and considerate of her customer
even when insulted by the GUS
toner; no other working woman or
girl has to take so much off her
boss, the public, as does sales girl.
The store hours of 9:10 to can
not be termed banking hours" nor
are they even reasonable hours in
that most department store people
are just getting home in the eve
ming when the majority Of the cities
workers are on their way to the
movie, getting ready for a dance,
etc.
The wartime hours of from u
noon till 9 pm. one night week,
while all we'll and good for certain
classes of people, were slave and
hardship hours for department
store people. The few hours off in
the morning were not sufficient to
accomplish much about the home
yet ust enough to make the clerks
arrive tired and worn out even be-
fore the days work started. Get
ting off at pm. meant that they
did not get home till at least 10
or 1890 pm. and then had to be
up bright and early next morning
to get back on the 9:l0 to 6 sched-
ule. Such way of living is not
healthful.
Any one who can't find a way to
get in a bit of shopping between
$50 and has my sympathy. Per-
haps they should consult Mr.. An
thony in their extremity!

OLD SONG.
(FrOnl Mrs. F. M., Bethesda.

From Mrs. F. M., Bethesda.)
For Mrs. w. E. B., Gaithersburg,
who loves old songs. Here is one
that my mother used to sing when
my sisters and I were little girls in
England, good many years ago.
THE cHoRIsTER
o, sweet and dim the light and shade
across the minister stealing;
] heard the grand old organ played. the
anthem upward pealing.
one ooys sweet voice above the rest.
heard SO clearly ringing
Inc ANGELS must his dreams have blessed
to teach him such sweet singing.
His earnest eyes to heaven were bent with
yearninR pure and lowly:
TO follow where his sineing went and Join
the angels holy.
No earthly mothers love had he. but God
had comfort given;
For he might sing on earth. and she might
hear her child in heaven.
Last niEht I dresmpt of harps Of gold
heavens gates were rolled asunder;
saw the pale, sweet face Of old, appraised
IN JOY and wonder.
He dwells among the ANGELS now. beside
the crystal river.
The light OF God is on his brow for ever
and forever.

ENTERTAINING FRIEND?
CHIFFON CAKES?

(From Mrs. E. K, Wdshington.)
I have a woman friend coming
from England, she will visit me In
August and I do want to show her
the town. Can some one give me
practical suggestions on what to
see, when, where and how? My
2la-year- daughter will have to
go along, too, so nothing too long
and tiring in the heat, but, please,
how to see the worthwhile sights
pleasantly and inexpensively.
We have lived here for six years
and love your beautiful city, but
showing a stranger around does
seem rather an overwhelming idea
Have any readers tried the new
