Workmen or workwomen love the work they are doing; they take great pleasure1 in per fecting themselves, and practice makes perfect. They also serve their employers best when with beautiful manners they show the goods to the visitors wherever and whenever they get the opportunity. Sometimes an employe has been known to drop a customer who was known to be seeking; a small article for another customer whom the employe knew and had waited on before; or to neglect a customer who said : "I do not wish to buy today." All of which was the worst kind of performance of duty. A looker never forgets that lack of attention, and she speaks of it to her friends' and sometimes to one of the managers. But the opposite is also true that real politeness and no sign of disappointment in tak ing much or little time is evident to the cus tomer; all her friends are sure to hear of her experience. You serve best when you try to be a pleased hostess for every one you meet in your business place. There is very little fault to be found with the large assortments that we always have at this time of the year; but it is well not to be too long in seeking such goods as are known to be irreplaceable.
