PHIL OSIFER
OF LAZY MEADOWS

“MAWS PRESENT”
This modern age of streamlining
may be all right, but I object-' very
strenuously to the introduction of
sales girls with streamlined chassis
and a lack of sense, to the Murphy
Emporium down here at the village.
Let me explain a little further.
Each year I have been in the habit
of going into the. dry goods part of
Tim Murphy’s store and asking Sadie
Perkins to pick out a present for me.
I could always manage with a few
hints, an embarassed look and a few
helpless shrugs to tell her about what
I wanted. She always managed to
pick out just the thing.
Yesterday I called in at Murphy’s,
there was a new staff of girls work
ing there. This One sidled up behind
the* counter, rolled her eyes, shifted
her gum from one side to the other
and
cha
I
zag patches of blue and black. I tried
to tell her what' I wanted. She was
getting exasperated with my
ness I guess, and my feelings
past describing.
I never realized that there
be so many different kinds of sweat
ers , . fuzzy ones that seemed to be
made out of hair . . lacey ones that
were real stylish . . coarse ones . .
and colours in the full range of the
rainbow.
“Say do you want a sweater or
don’t you?” she complained at last,
and I took her up by snapping back
“No!”
I had just started to walk away
when Tim Murphy came walking up
through the store. He must have
seen the thunderclouds on my face,
because he asked what was the mat
ter. I asked him if he knew the kind
of sweater that I would be buying
for my wife.
“Sure,” Tim grinned, “I’ll just get
you one now.” $
And while the girl looked on, he
went over to the counter and picked
up a box of sweaters. Then he pick
ed out a plain black one, in a pleas
ant sityle and handed it to the girl to
wrap up. I took it, satisfied that it
was the right kind.
Now, I have nothing again the in
troduction of pretty girls to a store.
But they have a lot to learn by ex
perience, and I guess the main thing
is to be able to size up a customer
and what he will be most likely to
want. Sadie' Perkins was built
square like a box, with a' plain face
and a pleasant disposition. She ask
ed you about the family, and even if
you knew she wasn’t interested it
pleased you to hear her ask.
But I have the present and now
comes the task of being able to keep
it hidden. One year I had the pres
ent stowed away in the driving-shed
: but the mice decided to investigate,

said in a nasal way . . “What’-
want?”
swallowed my chew of tobacco,
gulped once or twice and managed to
croak “A sweater . . for a lady!” She
told me to wait a minute, and then
swayed her way down the aisle and
came back with one. z
Now, what 1 had in mind for Mrs.
Phil, was one of those fine all-wool
sweater coats. Nothing fancy about
it, but warm, to wear out of the
house> and just the thing to wear un
der a coat when a person is going
on a long drive in the winter, This
clerk came back with a pullover that
would have chocked a tooth-pick. I
stammered out something about that
not being big enough, and she drawl
ed: “Bigger ’n the bust, eh?”
Next time she came back with one
of those knitted affairs Such as
Grandmother Osifer used to wear as
a bed-jacket on Sundays. It was real
pretty, but I just couldn’t imagine
Maw wrapping herself up in that and
walking down to the b.arn to see the

henhouse.
Next time she brought back a big
