The Bride's First Christmas at the Big Store
A humorous sketch in which Mrs John Vincent Harris shops at a large department store during the holiday rush. She tests clerks, selects collars hoses and ties for her husband, jokes about costs and sizes, and debates where to buy cigars while imagining their move to the country. The piece ends noting editorials and a tout line for Chamberlain's Liniment.
