Their Married T X'X KTOIMIS NO CIIILU'KIl THAN i-JAAv2- nil-: sToiurs at iiomi:. THE THIRD YEAR. by MABcii hi:uhi:i:t unxcit.

"Can I d'rect you ma-dam?" Helen hail bfcn in tho shop only a fw moments, Mit already four Fuav-floor-walkeru had acoo.stcd "her with tliis polito but InfiiHtent question. 4,Xo th?nk you." she murmured in rrn contusion. Warren had told "hrr that sh could not "look about" In, the London phops; thnt when you entered an English utore you were ezpecttxl to buy, and it you did Jiot buy you wero made to feel mort uncomfortable. And now Helen found that this was true. The cheerful showing of good, vhlch Is th policy of every American merchant, fetnej unknown over here. Hhe had not ajskd to be phown, nor even priced any article, so fche might feel she was under no obligation to buy. Yet sh could not even walk through the stores and Rlanco about without t'elns stopped at every few steps by a frock-coated floor-walker with his persistent. "Can I direct you madam?" That seemed the mission of the? f oor-walkers to accost every one'they ?aw strolling through with no definite purchasing intent in their paze. While the onJy question was: "Can I direct you madame?" the implication was plainly: 'These poods are here to bo purchased; v hop you have come for that purpose. IM'. Helen wanted to look about to pet n general idea of the shops before she made her purchases. ho had only a small sum to spend, and out of that sh must buy souvenirs and present '-r ai: of Warren's people and h"" own. Something IMftVrriit. Whil of course the. presents must be inexpensive, she. had hoped to get them distinctly Knlish, something they could not cet at home. Hut how could ?he do this, if she was not allowed to look about, if she was expect

ed to begin to buy the minute she entered a store. She had paused a moment to glance at ome chiffon scarfs, which were displayed at the veil counter. One of these in black would be nice for Warren's mother, ihe thought. Hut she wa.s afraid to go nearer to examine them, for the Faleslady Twul already noticed her hesitation, and she was waiting for her to come close enough to make her the victim of r. sale. Hut mich hesitation was not to be allowed, for now a t'.oor-walker hemmed her in from the rear. "Do you wish to be served, madam?" Then with a wave toward the waitinPT !erks, "Madam wishes to see some i-carf.." Helen, with a jsense of having been t tapped, had no choice now but to let the clerk show her the rcarfs. "This is very smart, ma'am." holding1 up a pale pink one. "We have them in all colors. Very pond value, ma'am, for ten and eleven three farthings. "Tenn and eleven three farthings!" Helen was mentally trying to reduce that to dollars and cents. Kight shillings was two dollars. Why, it was almost three! And she had r.ecn practically the same tiling in New York lor SI. OS. "Perhaps, madam would like a white one better? You can wear white with everything. Shall. I send you one of these?" taking out her check book with the air of a sale completed. With a hurried "No. no. it isn't quite what I want." Helen tried to break away. Hut the determined saleslady held her with a "We have many oth

ers, let me show madam some other

MyUs. Now, this is quite smart." Hard to Iioave. Helen knew that the more goods she was shown the more criminal would be the affront if she did not buy. Hut ?-he could not get away. At last, In desperation, she bought the cheapest scarf they had. It wa.s a narrow and rather flimsy one, for three and six ST cents. It would do for Delia, although sho "had intended taking her a pair of gloves. After that Helen was at raid to hesitate before any counter. Still she was met every few minutes by the Inevitable tloor-wulker with his inevitr hl query. Her answer, "No, thank you," was always received with a look of cold disapproval. Plainly she was an American and plainly unfamiliar with their stores then why did 6he not ant to be directed? Why was she in the shop if it was not to mako puri haes. Why was she strolling alut in this aimless way? These were the thoughts of the floor-walker. Finally she Tilt upon a plan of walking swiftly, with an air of intent determination, as though making straight for some particular counter. This was effective, and she was not molested, but it gave her little chance f.r observation. Then she evolveR a still better plan. She noticed that many of the English women were, carrying parcels. This was, at least, an evidence of good intentions. Perhaps If nhe had a half dozen pmall packages she might 1k allowed to rriam undisturbed. Hurriedly tiho made her way to the toilet counter and bought a few staple

things that she always needed

some shirts over hero; we'll go to one or two places and have them pull down a lot of stuff and then walk out without buying a farthing'.- worth. Jingo, they'll bo mad," with an apreciativo chuckle. "Hut. Warren, that wouldn't be fair." "Why not?Of course it's fair, and a darned good lesson for the shopkeeper. Teach him a thing or two. They've an idea over here that Americans must buy the first thing thty look at and pay a stiff price for it, too." "Oh, that's what I wanted to tell you." interrupted Helen eagerly. 'Things don't seem cheap at all! Perhaps I haven't been to the right stores, but almost everything I've seen I could get at home for the same price or less." "Course you could. London's not cheap. It used to be. When I was over Tiere seven years ago things were about half of wnat they are now. A man was tilling me ju.rt today that in the last six months there's been a big advance in all merchandise." "Hut, df ar, every one at homo thinks things are cheaper over hero. You know Mrs. Stevens asked mo to buy her some silk stockings. She gave me only $10 for a dozen; and I could get a good quality for that. Iiut I can't. I can't get the stockings he wants for less than five shillings $1.25 a pair and I hate to go back without them." "Well, I shouldn't hate to go back without them. These people who're always sending over for things every' time a friend goes to Kurope ought to get left now and then. It's blame cheeky that's what It Is. Expect you to spend your time and wear yourself out and get no thanks for it. They're never satisfied with what you buy; always think you could have got it

; w..papoi' or better li you d looked fur

ther. And I supose you want to take a 'present' back to everybody you know? That's :tnother fool idea." "Not everylrody, dear; but there're a few that I'll have to take some little thing to they'll expect it." "Well, I'd give them a Jolly good disappointment. Take something to mother and Carrie and to your mother and let the rest go. It's an infernal nuisance, this rushing around and breaking your neck trying to get everybody 'something. Now take my advice and out it. Write 'em a few post cards and let It go at that."

AMES PLEADS FOR Y. M. C. A. AT GOSHEN

liocal Secretary Makes Address Business Men's Banquet, Pointing cls of Association.

at

"No city can get along without a Y. M. C. A." This was the statement of J. Q. Ames, general secretary of the South Bend Y. M. C. A. in an address at a banquet at (Joshen last night, when nearly 100 men assembled to consider a proposition to erect an association building there. Secretary Ames was the principal speaker of the evening and pointed out the need of a Y. M. C. A. at GoFhen. He urged that the business men plan to erect a building of their own, asserting that rented structures have been proved failures. lie declared that it would not bo a wise plan to remodel an old building and urged that an entire new one be constructed. "It will be impossible to erect a Y. M. C. A. that will be self maintaining," he said. "Every well managed association plans on running a slight deficit every year, which should be paid by popular subscription." He said that popular subscriptions compelled people to be interested in the association work and that through this means the influence of the Institution was largely increased. "The Y. M. C. A. should be a leader in the social affairs of the community and it should be a clearing house and information bureau for all clean city affairs. It should promote religious movements and lead in training men and boys in Bible study, evangelistic meetings and similar enterprises.

Helen had heard Warren' amused comments on the heavy br v. n paper with which the Englishman does up all his parcels.
