36. Carrie reached Dearborn Street. Here was the great Fair store with its crowds of shoppers. She thought she would go in and see. She would look at the jackets. She paused at each article of clothing. How pretty she would look in this, how charming that would make her! Then Carrie stopped at the jewellery department. She saw the ear-rings, the bracelets, the chains. But the jackets were the greatest attraction. She fixed her heart on a jacket with large pearl buttons. It was in fashion that fall. She said to herself there was nothing she would like better. Here she saw Drouet who was coming up to her smiling. “Let’s go and look at the jackets,” he said as if read ing her thoughts. When Carrie got the jacket in her hand, it s eemed so much nicer. The saleswoman helped her on with it. It fitted h er per fectly. It was just her size, not a bit loose. She looked quite smart. Carrie turned before the glass. She couldn’t help feeling pleased as she looked at herself. It was so becoming. “ Excellent ,” said Drouet. “Now pay for it”. “It’s nine dollars,” said Carrie, after she had asked the saleswoman how much it was. She took out one of the bills and gave it to the cashier. From there they went to a shoe department where Carrie tried on some shoes. Drouet stood by and seeing how nice they looked told her to buy them . Then Drouet advised her to buy a purse made of leather, a pair of gloves and stockings .
