TllCi!" Married hi:ij:ns first day in Tin: T . Pauls snois Hi;suirs i.v Llll6. Villi V ii:V PUKCIIASKS. THE THIRD YEAR. iiv maiiix iu:iim:itT ckxi-ji.
It was the mornlnK f their thiril day in Paris that II l n Marled out to -hop. Sho had rvad and heard so much of the l'arian bazaars that the was aihrill with eager expectation. T.etter Lake in the Galeries La..,...t. f-st s:iL'L' M-d Warren as
thev left the hotel together. "Vou Can take a. bus from there for the lion .Marche." "Dear, wouldn't you have time to ro by the Lafayette with me it's only half p:it nine," pleaded Helen, who dreaue sta-rtimr out alono. "Ail rinht," K'jd-naturedly, "that's not much out of rny way. Hurry up let's pet this bus." It was oin to be another hot daj. There wis still no relief from the heat wave that had settled over I'ari:- since th ir arrival. Hut as Helen climhed -Iefully to the top of the bun, the thought of th- day in the 1'ari.s .shops made her unmindful of the heat. "There you are." Warren pointed out a huge huihiinir just ahead. From the, top fluttered white banners and f'.ajrs lettered guyly In red, "(Jaleriea ILfayette." It looked more like a great exposition building than a store. Iiut when they left the bus. Helen was astonished to lind that all alon-s the sidewalk in front of tho doro werr stalls, piled high with the cheapest kind of merchandise. There wero tables of crockery, kitthenware, cotton dresses and waists, r.nd around each wa.i a chattering crowd of i-Yeneh women pullins over tho goods.. Iirgo cardboard KiKni "GO centimes." "1 franc," "2 f f a n cs" wero e v e ry where. "Why, dear, would you think they'd allow these push-c.ii.rt peddlers outside it reputable store? Why, it's like a cheap market place!"
"Thevv'ro not push-cart peddlers, laughed Warren. "This is all part of the Galeries Ifayettt that's how they sell their cheap poods, our storea have bargain basements hero they
have stalls outside the shop. Now I've pot to Icavo you. Don't overdo it and get too tired. 1'etter not be on your feet too much this hot day." She Is Lonely. Helen's interest in the seen about her soon banished the momentary feollns? of loneliness as Warren disappeared in tho crowd. For some tlmo sho stood on the sidewalk watching tho stalls and the chattering, pushing crowd about them. Warren was right. Unquestionably this was part of tho store, for bare-headed French floorwalkers, with frock coat 9 and twisted must-aches, walked up and down the sidewalk. Although Helen had often heard that tho Galeries Lafayette was one of tho best Paris shops, this street sale of goods made Iter most skeptical. Hut when she entered, she saw that It was really a very beautiful store. In the center was a groat rotunda under a crystal dome. An Imposing marble staJrcaso with doublo escalators led to tho upper galleries. Bverywhero was a lavish and seemingly haphazard display of goods. It all very different from a New i'ork shop. Thero seemed no aisles, only a vast labyrinth of tables piled with goods in chaotic disorder the most tawdry heaped carelessly with the mosv expensive. The confusing display of gre.vt quantities of merchandise tho riot of color, the crowd, the uproar and tumult were to Helen most bewildering.
Hoping that tho upper galleries
would be less crowded and tumultous.
Helen r.ado her way to the long lino
of olevr-tors. Glancing over the direc
torv of tho floors, she located "lin
gerie" and "Trousseaux."
French lingerie is a luxury coveted
by every American woman, and as Helen stepped from the elevator at the third callery into what seemed a great exhibition of white goods, her heart beat with expectation. On every side was a. network of tables and counters' heaped with white parments chemisettes, Jupons and robes de nuits. Over -the tables wero cards with "Occasion" or "Grande Occasion," tho French phrase for bargains. Almost everything was hand em'hroidered and mostly unlaundered. tho Mue penciled tracing of the patterns bolng still distinct. Helen was surprised to find that while even tho cheapest garment, thn-o as low ns six or seven francs, were embroidered by hand, the garment Itself was made by machinery, the scums carelesslv stitched, and the buttons half off. Sho thought of the poor women in the convents where most of this work Is done. How poorly paid they must be to embroider such Inferior goods! X'nalnly Garments. She looked first for some dainty, low-necked night dresses with short butterfly sleeves, hut she saw only ungainly garments with hic;h necks and long1 sleeves. Was this the muchlauded Paris lingerie 7 At la-t In some glass cases, where the most expensive models were displayed, she found some exquisite lowneck, short-sleeved gowns. "How much? Quid prinx?" Helen
demanded of a passing clerk, pointing to a garment in tho case. Tho girl opened the case and looked at tho ticket. Helen could not understand her, but, stooping over, she read the ticket herself 9 0 francs. Klghteen dollars! Helen tried to make her understand
with a few words of French, much i Fnglish and many -stures that she j wajited to e some gowns of that cut, j but much less expensive. Tho girl ' touched a loud gong, which was a j signal for an Kngllsh-speaking clerk. and one promptly appeared. j
Almost all of our low-neck and short-sleeved gowns are In th expensive models," the clerk orphaned. "Hut of course we have some for less than 'JO francs. Now here is quite a pretty gown for francs." Seven dollars! Kxeent for her
trousseau, Helen had never paid siti ' dollars for a nightgown in h r life. and she had no intention of paying it in Paris, where she had expected to !
get things ridiculously cheap. "Well, I'll iet the nfghtpuvn go for the present, but I'd like to ne sumo combinations and skirts." "About what price does madam wish to pay?" asked the clerk, with lessening cordiality, for she expected Americans not to object to prices. "About three or four dollars flfteen or twenty francs." a rr 1 - . . .
ineyro an out on the tables, ma-!
dam. Wo keep only the more expensive ones in this department." "Put I could never button these," exclaimed Helen, viewing with disfaor the combinations. which all opened in the back. "And they're all too large I want 34." "You won't find bust measures in Paris like you have in America, madam. We have only three sizes here. You see they're marked with tickets the preen ticket is small, the pink ticket medium, and the yellow ticket large.
uniy uno I'urvnaso.
Helen expressed her astonishment !
that In Paris, where fit and style were I
supposed to be perfected, they should
have only three si7.es Instead of the
eight from 3 2 to 4 Ot hat are carried
by very American store! Tho intention to buy enough lingerie while in Paris to last her for the next two years was somewhat shaken. And sho finally left the department, having made Just one purchase a white skirt with a hand embroidered flounce. Even this she could not get the right length. It would have to be shortened when she got it home. From the lingerie Helen walked down the broad marble staircase to tho gallery below. Just at the foot of the stairs were a dozen or more tables overburdened with parasols. She had never seen so many parasols together in her life. Most of them wero brilliant in coloring and design, vivid reds, bright greens and startling blues. Further on was a gorgeous display of scarfs the long chiffon scarfs that tho French women wear with their evening gowns. They lay in careless glittering heaps, shimmering with gold and silver spangles and irridescent headings. Helen had thought the hues and fabrics in the shops at home particularly loud this year, but they were mild and subdued compared with the riotous coloring of everything here. In spite of the whirring electric fans, the heat was excessive, and before Helen had explored half the departments of the Galeries Lafayette she was exhausted. GchxI t4 Ilctiim. Although she had spent most of the day there, her purchases were trivial.
but she had a fair idea of what a big Paris shop was like. It was good to get back to their rooms, to have time to bathe, rest and dress before Warren came. "Well, how did you get along?" was his greeting when he got in, a little after six. "Iiuy out all the Paris shops?" "Not quite. I left a few things in the Galeries Lafayette! That was the only place I went." "How did you find things? Cheaper than at home?" "Somo things are. Put, dear, the styles and colorlntrs are so extreme. Do you know," thoughtfully, "I really believe I can find the things I want better in New York." "Course you can! Nothing's more overrated than the French styles. They're made for French women not for Americans. And nine-tenths
of the Americans w ho come over here !
and buy a lot of truck are blamed sick of their bargains when they get 'em home."
