Show BAD MANNERS IN SOME SHOPS Story Concerning the Amusing Superciliousness Su-perciliousness of Saleswomen in Big Establishments. An amusing discussion took place the other day in the dressing room of a fashionable restaurant. Three women were laughing over the grandeur gran-deur of the saleswomen in a certain Walnut street shop. The shop was offering reduced rates, and one of them sauntered in from curiosity what woman can resist looking over what may prove to be a bargain? The saleswoman in charge seemed quite indifferent, and upon Mrs. X making some critical remark about a simple little gown marked down to $16.50. she raised her penciled eyebrows and looked pityingly at the customer, as though sizing her up according to the gown s value. "Oh,"' she drawled, "but that, you know, you would only find on an expensive gown a $50 gown!" Mrs. X mimicked the grande maniere of the saleswoman quite out of all proportion pro-portion with her evident regard for a $50 gown, and her companions laughed heartily. Kansas City Star. |
