THE EVENING TELEGRAM LAKELAND, FLA., JANUARY 2, 1912 How She Shopped “l wasn't responsible,” Baird said.

So when Anne suggested going shopping I smiled fatuously and consented. “Anne made for the elevators and led me to the topmost floor. Being totally ignorant of the correct method of storming a women's store, I took it for granted that starting in at the top was the rule, and that you got docked if you didn't begin that way. I be- lieve it was the floor where you get fitted and altered when you buy ready- mades, 1 bashfully slunk along be- hind Anne as she strolled down ma- hogany corridors through the doors of which came wails and complaints and storms from women in the process of being altered And fitted. *“Just as I opened my mouth to ask Anne what she had bought to be fixed and when she had bought it, she turn- ed on me blandly and said she was ready to go down to the next floor. “There was a furniture display there and I think she priced every plece of it. In balf an hour my head was a mizture of Flemish bookcases, ma- bogany dining room sets, rococo Screens and tea wagons. “Much as | loved Anne, I began to foel pale. I figured out that my whole annual income would just about pay for what the dear girl apparently had Ia mind.
