As she walked round the huge department store,Edith reflected how

difficult it was to choose a suitable Christmas present for her

father.She wish that he was as easy to please as her mother, who was always

delighted with perfume Besides,shoppong at this time of the year was a

most disgreeable experience :people trod on your toes,poked you with

their elbows and almost knocked you overin their haste to get to a bargain

ahead of you.

Partly to have a rest, Edith paused in front of a counter where some

attracive ties were on display. "They are real silk," the assistant

assured her, trying to tempt her. "Worth double the price." But edit knew

from past experience that her choice of ties hardly ever pleased her

father. She moved on reluctantly and then quite by chance, stopped where a small

crowd of man had gathered round a counter. She found some good quality

pipes on sale-----and the prices were very reasonable. Edith did not

hesitate for long : although her father only smoked a pipe occasionally,

she knew that this was a present which was bund to please him.

When she got home,with her small well-chosen present concealed in her

handbag, her parents were already at the supper table. Her mother was

in an especially cheerful mood, "Your father has at last to decided to

stop smoking." She informed her daughter.
