Trading Stamps.
Another decision against the legality
. of the trading stamp scheme has been
given.says the Hartford Times. This
is in Massachusetts, where Judge Tuck.-
er in the District Court at Pittsfield
gave his decision in the case of William
T. Petherbridge. ‘ Judge “Tucker‘- re-
viewed the evidence showing that:
Pctherbridge had sold auchair and en
receiving the money had given the
purchaser a number of trading stamps
to be redeemed at the store of the trad-
ers' supplyficompany, andéthat he had
placed signs in his window, advertising
the fact that he gave trading stamps.
Judge Tucker held-that the case was
clearly prohibited by the statutes of
18-34, chapter 277, and that the defend-
ant was guilty of the charge of illegally
selling andofiering for an inducement
something other than the specific arti-
cle sold. The case was appealed, but
meantime the chief-of-police has warn-
ed" merchants against using. trading;
‘ ‘ .z the best
stamps.
In ( onnecticut seveial attempts to- :
waids abolishing the system _ have
failed. There is a divisiOn of opinion
among lawyers as to the probable out-
come of an appeal to the courts, and
the men who have tried to initiate a ,
movement to kill the system in seve1al =
cities are said to have practically
abandoned the-efi'ou. The most in-
genious suggestion yet '-,made' was at'
Bridgeport, where an association of ,
workingmen proposed that for trading
stamps should be substituted stamps
redeemable in cash at a designated
bank. The irritation with which the
suggestion was received by the dealers
fully answered the expectation of its
makers. .

There-is no use in trying to collect

Is, “Nothing until after Christmas.”
Is there anymore joyful sound than
the voice of the woman who declares,
“Well, I believe I’ve got everythingat
last. ” " .
There is no season like this for mak-
ing one long to say: “Forgive and for-
get.” Yet how few of us give way to
that emotion.
Though it is eminently proper for a
man to precede a woman when going
up stairs few do so, as they apparently
think it looks rude.
The woman who ‘has to do her Christ-
mas shopping carrying a baby in her
arms should receive every considera-
tion from the jostling crowds.
There are two occasions when a wom-
an sings to herself. One is when she
is happy and the other is when she
isn’t but is trying to deceive herself in-
to thinkmg she is.
