Sight Seeing in Stores During Christmas Rush Cruel Rractice on Public BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON AS the story concerned a Christmas shopper, I shall pass it over as nearly as possible as the clerk told it to me: “There I was, ready to drop! I felt as though my heels were going up through the top of my head. Saturday afternoon, all the offices out and people two deep all along the counter. “The place looked like the fall of Pompeii, or a gas explosion. You know how stockings get tangled with people pawing

over them hunting for colors. J‘Well, it comes the turn of a woman with a foolish smirk on her face, and she drawls out, ‘I have ,to give a friend a Christmas present. Don’t you think a pair of silk stockings would be nice?’ ‘“Yes’m says I, 'what color?’ ‘“What colors have you?’ says she. “I rattled off the line. You know —rain, egg-plant, ripe-fig, dawn, mist, sunset, nude, flesh—‘“l’d like to see them all, please,’ says she. “Then I spent ten minutes trying to hunt out those different shades. I split a sleeve out of my dress looking for a pair of burnt almond. She just wanted to see what they were like! “The show-down came when she declared nude and flesh were exactly the same, even when I showed her the difference in numbers. She wanted nude. We hadn’t her number. I offered flesh in which we had the number. She squared her jaw. “I guess I know what I want. I’ll take the nude or nothing.’ “I’m afraid it will be nothing, madam,’ says I. ‘“I shall report you for your impertinence,’ says she. ‘“Very well, go ahead,’ says I, thinking I’d rather lose my job than wait on any more like her. “A manj beside her heard the whole thing and followed her to the floor manager. I heard what happened afterward. s “When she made her complaint : this man spoke up and said I had done all I could and that six people had left the counter while I was busy with her because they couldn’t get waited on.” It isn’t a bad idea to look ourselves over. While Christmas shopping we might be doing the public a favor to make up our minds as nearly as possible before we go into stores, and not indulge in an orgy of sight-seeing that is cruel to clerks and unfair to people.
