If The Right Thing at the Right Time | By HAST MARSHALL S. DCFFEE. When You Shop Americans are extremely curt In OUT shopping: manners. N-o polite French man or -woman would gtrtnk of 1 earing ths sales persona who ted watted on him without a courteous •good day” or at least a "thank you." Often on beginning hts transaction he would say, “(rood morning,” This much of courtesy we, too, should ■cquire. If a woman takes a half-hour of a sales person's time and then she secs nothing that suits her, she is apt to make her get-away without expressing thanks. The truly polite woman always tenders thanks when she has taken considerable time without making a purchase. To say she is sorry is no more than onslderation requires. Sometimes a prospective purchaser a very silly unwillingness to exifßaixi the real reason why she makes no purchase. It may be that the prices are too high or that she wishes to look somewhere else first. She whispers to her shopping companion: "Let’s go over to Blank's; maybe they will have something cheaper.” Then she says to the salesman: “I inn sorry you have nothing of the color | want; no, I do not wlßh to see any |ore; they are not at all what I was looking for.” It would be so much more considerate Fd thoroughbred to say frankly: “I ve seen several models that I like, but would rather look elsewhere before I make a decision.” WHAT READERS ASK. "Is It good form for an unmarried girl sign her name simply with her first initials and her last name, or should she give her first name in fail?” Usually a woman uses initials only In tesiness letters. Thus she might sign her name “Anna 11 Jones," or “Anna Marla Jones'' in any ptfter. but she would not sign a personal W social letter “A. M. Jones."—Copyright, 1920.
