It is the rule in some stores to keep no one over five years, lest they come to feel that they have some claim on the firm; and when a saleswoman is dismissed from one house, she finds it almost impossible to obtain employment in another. The wages are reduced by excessive fines, employers placing a value upon time lost that is not given to services rendered.
"Shall I ask Santa Claus to send it?" asked the saleswoman, tactfully. "No-o-o!" said Georgie, uneasily. "Doncher letter have it, Dad!" "Give the lady the horse, old man," said the father, "and we'll go find something pretty for Mamma and the baby!" The little fellow's lips quivered, but even at three some of the lessons of poverty had been learned.

If the people had the humanity to say, We will not buy a dime's worth at establishments that insist upon a course at once so unnatural and cruel, the evil would be remedied speedily. Employers declare that they maintain the regulation because so many of their patrons require that the saleswoman shall always be standing and ready to receive them.

And, Mr. Denzil," added the Count, laughing, "I do not go round about saying to common people that I am an Italian. It is not my custom to explain." Lucian shrugged his shoulders, and said no more until they entered the shop in Bayswater. As he knew from the previous visit where the saleswoman was located, he led the Count rapidly to the place.
Those who were too cross and tired to think about hearts or anything else except their own nerves, made no excuses at all, but demanded what they wanted or threatened a report to the floorwalker if a saleswoman were "disagreeable."
"Madame Bouvard, as saleswoman in the Temple, who has already sold and bought for me, will doubtless arrange all this: she's an honest woman; this arrangement will spare you much embarrassment, for I know how precious your time is. "I have paid my rent in advance; I beg you to give a small gratuity to the porter.
He believes that some one who wished to get him into trouble personated him." "Has he any suspicions as to whom the person may be?" "He says not, and I believe him; for if he did suspect any particular individual he certainly would gain nothing by concealment of the fact." "H'm!" said Diana thoughtfully, "so that denial of the saleswoman disposes of the cloak's evidence.
