SHOPPING AS A GIFT.
It is a great mistake to suppose that most women shop of a diamal necessity or because they really want things. Some do so, of course, either because they are deficient, in the joy of lying or because they cannot perceive the luxury of shop ping for shopping's sake, of, because they are temperainontally deaf to the siren call of tho superfluous,
There are doubtless those blameless and litocal beings who have shopping thrust upon them. There are those again- unspontaneous, if ethical-who "achieve" shopping who must concentrate on it seriously and train for it as if it were a profession who cannot see the difference botween shopping and buying, between, entering a shop and ordering something. But the great, the fascinating majority of womankind are born" shoppers. Shopping for them is like the "greatness" to which Shakespeare applies the parti- ciple. They shop by divine right, because they cannot help it, because it is their gift, because that is what towns are made fox, because the lack of it was the aching void in the Garden of Eden, because the temptations to eye and touch are magnets irresistible. They shop quite as much because they do not want things as because they do.
IMAGINATION AND SKIF-DENIAL. These are the pampered, but it is by no means the exceptionally extravagant alona 17th who shop after this manner. The shopping temperament belongs equally to the parsimonious, and, indeed, it is in one sense bound up with it-the more precious because it cannot, under pain of bank- ruptcy, be constantly indulged. And so it becomes a sort of pleasure of the imagination and of the memory, a kind of fetish. Not much is bought on: these angel's visits to the shrine that inspire fanaticism; but the delight of Treasures seeing and handling their remaning like some poet's dreanu"It is a mental possession." The devotee prizes all the more what it were sacrilege to acquire. The sight of what she must do without lends a feeling of romance (and of relief) to the progy promenade past the gay counters, to the bold entrance into the Sanctuary itself, to those timid inquiries: made purely in the interests of self- denial, to those quick, mental meraorands taken with a view to reproducing some of these Parisian triumphs cheaply at home, to that mysterious smile with which she Loceks ta put off that ezbending goddess of
a magnificent young showroman.

THE DANGER OF FIXED PRICE Not everyone, however, combines 50 rauch caprice with so much courage, or both of these with so much self-control. Nor has everyone the tact to elude a diplomatic duel with her 'shop-ladyship the countess of the counter. Give those commercial young noblewoman an inch and they will take an ell-which, being interpreted, means that you will take much more than an ell away with you. She can fatter so subtly, make such apparent and adroit abutements that it needs a Cato in petticoats to withstand her wiles. That is why the Western custom of fixed prices is so dangerole. It lends her all the advantages, it gives you so little time for repentance or ovasion. In the East and the South- things are quite different. A protracted bargain is a regular part of the transac tion out of which it enables you to get on those second thoughts which are often so invaluable. While the Turk swears by his mother's grave that yesterday he could do business, to-day he can de no business"; while the Neapolitan climbs slowly down from the heights of a thousand lire to the plain hundred, you have plenty of chance to make discretion the better part of your valour. Not so in honest old England. Once hesitate and you are lost-fest irretrievably That is why the weaker vessels who wish to shop wisely, if they may not shop well, wait for the sales," when they are farced to buy what they never wanted because they hive missed something that they thought J'er did.
But the true shopper is put to no such Sifts. She goes straight forward, seeing for the pleasure of buying, and buying for the pleasure of having everything pur "Needless to say, down to her "account."
it is her husband's, and his plessure is not lways commensurate. Not all men have the shopping temperament or understand it. It is an art. Still, he knows she must shop by the law of her being, and that the motor's afternoon journeys are mainly divided between calls and collecting. For that is the appropriate word. She is really a collector by instinct, a virtuosa-- she purchases not because she likes, but because she must-because completeness is her aim, because she must add six more crowning specimens to her gallery of the sweetly superfluous. And so, as be is rich or is so reputed-and as she does justice to his generosity, he must be contented. She looks so charming and spared with some, is so moderate. But there are moments when he regrets that Bond-street was over invented and is almost tempted to instruct the chauffeur to drive round and round Buckinghamshire of an after- noon.-Times.
