It was not until we were waiting for the train in the evening that we had time to talk things over and And out what each one had purchased. Then these friends of mine who were so silent and hurried during the day laughed and joked and exchanged stories and experiences. Some one told the story of the woman who inquired of all the clerks near here in one of the department stores ing the cause of the ringing of bell which she heard at intervals, only to diecover that it was an intermittent, alarm clock in her own bag. One mother told the story of her little girl who was making her Arst visit to the olty, she had ridden in the cars, had seen the wonderful toys and beautiful things in the stores until her eyes were "as big A8 and she was greatly excited. Weeps on Seeing Santa.

All at once they found Santa, real, live and moving. and the little girl wept freely, loudly and coplously. Afterwards she carefully explained it in this way: "It wasn't that I was scared, mamma, but my knees--they Juet shaked Then they started to tell me about the things they had purchased, but long before the lists were complete the trains came in and with merry farewells and promises of more $1,000 cars of shoppers for naxt Christmas, they departed. What They Bought. P.

A mother WAS telling me what she had for her little and I was trying to listen to her with one ear while the little girl told me what she had for the mother in the other ear, when the train came, and I haven't the complete description of either gift.

Interesting Notes of the Kind of People Who Visit Bloomington and What They Do Here on Shopping Day. -We did our Christmas shopping Saturday--my friends from the nearby towns and country districts, and I.

As early as 8 o'clock trains, interurbans, street cars, automobiles and horses were bringing in crowds of shoppers, and most of them were here by 10 o'clock, but there were many who arrived at noon and some even 86 late as 5 o'clock in the afternoon. There was no time for visiting with them upon their arrival- there was work to be done, work of importance, so we hurried to the stores. The old woman who is all alone in the world, the elderly couple, the familyfather, mother, baby and three little children, the mother with all of the famIly except father, few men, women, girls and boys "alone' --these were the members of my "personally conducted party." Many from the Farme. Some of these people were very plainly dressed--their faces were careworn and mad and their hands were rough and hard with toll, but every one had someone whom they wished to please, and money in plenty with which to gratify their wishes. For they were representatives of the well-to-do members of our com munity; they had not spent their money on hobble skirts and extinguishing hate and so were ready to buy good gifts.

Figures on Expenditures, A very "mathematical" aoquaintanoe who came to town on the train with some of these people and who knew them, said that at least a thousand dollars would be left in Bloomington by the people who were in his car. I mentioned this to another mathematician, who immediately reduced it to a per capita expenditure of at least $10, and decided that there were a hundred on the car, and began to satimate the number of such car loads of buyers brought in by all of the railronde, and how much would be spent altogether, and I hastened away to deposit my SALVInge with friendly clerk while small sums were still noceptable.
