Knowing What You Want

HE summer school of the Drapers’ Chamber of Trade was held recently at Girton College, Cambridge, During the course a discussion arose as to which women are the best, and which the worst, kind of shopper. All agreed that the easiest customer to. deal with is the masculine woman who knows exactly what she wants. Her attitude is: "If you haven’t got it, say. so, and let me get away." The most difficult customer is the daughter who goes shopping with her mother. The_ daughter generally knows exactly what she wants, and is determined to have it; while the mother is equally determined that the -daughter shall have what she considers best for her. Generally it ends in a squabble with the assistant in the midst of it trying to please both parties.
