With Christmas less than six weeks off, the fall shopping Beason Is rapidly approaclrtng Its zenith. A backward season which found sum. mer lingering in anticipation of a brisk fall trade quieting to tho mer chant who had unpacked his fall and winter stock early In anticipation of a brisk fall trade. Week after week tho balmy weather of the early fall months prompted the average folks to cling to their summer toggery as long as possible. And they did. Tho result was reflected In the stores and the season opened slowly. With the coming of the snappy cool weather of the past fortnight came also a change and the shopping section of the city these fine after noons Is filled with a busy throng of huyers. Mingling with tho resident shoppers dally may be seen hund reds and hundreds of folks from tho surrounding territory giving tho city a truly metropolitan appearance. It Is with no little pride that it may be said of Honesdale that for ordinary or even special require ments the shopper need look no further. Every want can be taken care of by the merchants of this place, nnd It is a noteworthy fact that shoppers from many another community, realizing this fact, set apart one or more days In the sea son to visit the stores of the Maplo City. "And say, perhaps you think the average shopper nowadays doesn't know just what he, or she wants," said a well known merchant to a CITIZEN man yesterday. "Just ask any of the clerks and they will tell you that, in a majority of Instances, the prospective buyer mentions somo special offering which has been ad vertised and these are tho little things that convince the dealers that their appropriations for advertising are bringing results. Very few shoppers start out from their homes on blind shopping trips these days. They Scan the announcements In the papers before starting away and usually havo ..a route mapped out and know just what they are going to ask to see when they come In the door. This Is the modern way and It makes It easier for the shopper for the merchants and for the clerks." The columns of the CITIZEN just nt this season of the year are re plete with Interesting news facts for buyers and the thrifty housewife who is beginning to figure just how much her exchequer will permit her to appropriate for a gift for father, mother, son, daughter, uncle, aunt, cousin, grandfather, grandmother or friend, Is keeping a close eye on the announcements. The live merchant is wide-awake to this condition of affairs and just as important as opening the door of the store for business each morning is his heart-to-heart talk with his customers through the columns of the most widely read newspaper in Wayne. aside for use at Stevensvllle, Wyalu slng, Sprlngvllle and Tunkhnnnock. Rev. Howard Dlller, Pottstown, was then Introduced. Ho suggested tho advisability of having the Board of Missions secure a layman to inform tho vestries monthly of tho progress made by tho various parishes in mak ing up their apportionments. Charles J. Arnold read his report as treasurer. The balance on hand April 18 was $23.16; the total receipts were $43.16; disburse ments, $42.06; balance on hand $1.10. It wns brought out that tho clergy were paid mileage to attend conventions. Adjournment was made at 1 o'clock, and a dainty luncheon was served tho clergy and delegntes by tho Parish Aid society.
