This Is no sel doni tho case In cltlos on tho mainland that tho condition here is Bulking!) noticeable. 1 think I havo Been but oo girl who mnde any pretense of linery and gowgaws. HlRh-hceled shoes nnd mammoth pompadours havo not Been, and very sensibly too, the ban has seemingly been placed upon conspicuous Jewelry and brlght rolored ribbons underneath tfiln walBt materials. Notlco tho next llmo that you go shopping and you will bco that tho girls wear neat, tail ored shirt-waists, with comfortable turn-down collars, the chief orna ment being a bit of lace or embroid ery In the form of a chic Jabot. 1 havo seen also a number of plain, pretty little onc-pleco frocks which arc most suitable for work. Moreover, I have never found In any city saleswomen who wcro more courteous, pleasant and agrccablo to deal with than those in Honolulu. Of courHe 1 havo found exceptions even hero. Only yesterday I was forced to rjulhblo for several minutes, with an unobliging clerk in a storo on Hotel street, concerning a bit of hand em broidery. She objected seriously to lifting down the boxes so (hat I might see the,' different patterns (tho article was to be a birthday gift and 1 was particular) nnd finally after heaping coals of flro oh her head by thanking her, courteously, I went to unothcr Bloru and after being shown the assortment In tho particular lino 1 wanted, was able to mako i satis factory choice. Tho very roluctance of the ilrst ,glrj did not .encourage n purchase,, and , I feel that doubtlcu others mustMmvo had the samo oxper lenco. If they also ended by 'pur chasing from another storo, tho man ngement would certainly do well to make a change in the matter of help. Visit ii Good Tonic. This case. was. however, I am sure. one of the exceptions rather tban tho rule, ftcsldes being obliging, most of the girls with whom I havo had occa sion to deal havo been so bright and sunny that my lslt to the storo was something of a tonic. Of course ono cannot expect clerks to bo cheerful nil of tho time, for thcro are times when this old world looks blue to them as It does to us all occasionally. And sometimes I think thry aro almost Justified In losing patience with the Irritating, nggrcvat lng customers whom they are obliged to servo. Of course wo can't always find what wo want In any one store, even alter tho clerks havo shown Ub nearly over) thing In her particular department. Hut 'it isn't nccessaiy for us to sweep haughtily out, as if It were tho fault of the saleswoman "An, I'm soiry ou haven't what I want and I thank ion for )0ur trou la little life, and life is but a day ro ll lo," delivered with a ploasant smile,! peqtcd."

And In speaking of chops and shop ping f am reminded of n condition which n man brought to my atten tion a short time ago. Ho asked mo why It was that women nro always given prcccdcnco over a man In a crowded shop. He said that only tho night before he had stepped Into a meat-market to ct a steak, ror din ner, and had been obliged to watt unlll half a dozen women who came In afler lilm had been served. That doesn't seem Justfali to mo I think we women ought not to ex pect any more favors at tho hands of tho butcher or giocerjman than pro accorded onr brothers or hus bands. Tho man who stops at tho storo on his way from tho olUco nt night Is no doubt far moro tired than wo women who happen to bo doing some belated thopplng there at the snnm time, and doubtless much moro eager to reach his homo. Counter Courtesy. 1 know that this condition of af fairs does exist, but I don't know why. no you? I am Inclined to bc Ijcvc that It Isn't oldenco of nnv spcrlal tourtcs) on the part of tho butcher or baker, but, that wo Just sort of aggressively demand this pre cedence. Perhaps lhat Is why our husbands complain If wo ask them to do n little shopping for us. What think you? And whllo on this subject I nm tomptcd to say a word about tho wo- f man who waits until half past flvo or six to take the car from down town home. I mean the woman who bus plenty of leisure nnd who could easily arrango differently If she but gnc the matter a thought.. Invaria bly her arms arc full of bun lies, and If tho car Is crowded and It alwas Is at that time of the day with tired men on their way homo from work common courtesy demands that sho bo offered a seat.
