Handkerchiefs.

In Judging Of people by their belong
ings, the pOcket-handkerchiet gives u
wonderful clue. A hat Is not wholly
without kind Of human expression. 1t
puts on something Of Its weArers man
ners; it may be pert, grave, or apologize
One has seen before this hats, the very turn
up OF whose brim insulted every other hat
within sight in the street.
Now and again coat Is met with that
has something decidedly characteristic in
It's wrinkles. Boots betray dispositions;
they turn up at the toes and sway down
at the heels, till you could identity their
owners from them. But the pocket
handkerchief is the visible embodiment
of It's user. Watch man handling 1t,
and you know his character at once.
To some nervous men the pocket.
handkerchief Is really sort Of other self.
They are forever putting it forward; they
move about behind il; they pass through
the world partly under cover OF it. II is
q semi.disguise, shelter, without which
they could do nothing comfortably. Have
they to enter q room, out comes the pOCk.
et.handkerchiei, and the first thing visible
Of their entrance is It's appearance through
the doorway.
Another very different class there is
who effectively display their harsher dis
POSITIONS by continually.usiDg their pock.
et.handkerChiefs II they have to put
them into their pockets, they crush them
in; II they have 10 pull them out, they
drag them forth. They savagely crumble
them up, they positively make hard balls
Of them, or else they will shake them out
with FLIP that gives q crack like a
horsewhip.
Others will weakly betray their char
acters by neglect Of their pocket.hand.
kerchiei5. AT times they allow the un.
appreciated article to draggle out OF the
tail.pocket, part way to their hecls-limp,
helpless, ruined; or they may show no
signs whatever Of having such treasure,
it being buried away at the very bottom
Of the pocket; or they will letit drop loose
from the hand on seat or floor, actually
losing it. A man who exhibits such
want of appreciation Of pocket.hand-
kerchief as this is not to be relied upon.
He will just as easily pass over, forget, or
drop you.
A different kind ot man there is who,
without being either tyrant or slighter
of his pocket: handkerchief, is never upon
good terms with it. A perpetual tiff
seems to exist between them; they are al
ways visible at cross.purposes. The
will not come out as 1t
ought to do; it will not unfold properly;
it will not go into the pocket again with
out compulsion.

SuoPKEEPINd.-1t requires no small
amount OF skill and art TO be a successful
tradesman. The wants and tastes Of Gus
toners, the style and varieties Of fashion,
cheapness and durability Of goods, and the
thousand and one little attentions, whims
and peculiarities Of different people, TO
meet-to say nothing Of perplexities, anS.
tuations In trade, competition and com.
plants, require patience like Jobs, meek
ness like Moses, and the fOrtitude OF a
martyr. But there is bright side to it.
It Is . kind OF Kaleidoscope life. The con
slant changes in fashion, new patterns
and styles, new faces and notions, keep
the tradesman's or tradeswoman's life
from dullness or stagnation. 1t is like
panorama, a moving picture, new combi'
nations appearing all the time. Yet 1t Is 2
wearying, wearing kind Of life. Nowhere
else does human nature show its shabby,
mean qualities, as 1t does over the Coun-
ter. II Is an arena for feats Of skill at
bantering and higglihg about prices.
All the ordinary amenities and cour--
tesies Of society are forgotten, and
the effort on one side Of the counter is 10
keep the other side from taking advant-
age of its side. The suspicion is omni.
present in the minds of the customers
that shop keepers make it point to
gouge and cheat them, either in the price
or quality Of their wares. Nowhere is
the ignobility OF the face so manifest as
there. There is also another feature to
this kind Of life that is peculiarly trying
and unfortunate. It is the practice Of
class Of people 10 go into stores, over
haul the goods, pnt the clerks and at
tendants to great trouble and trial Of pa
tience, with no intention oTpurchasing. Il
is not only an unnecessary, buta foolish
and wicked practice. shop.lifters also
are the trial and annoyance OF dealers.
They take advantage Of the opportunity
when the store Is filled with customers,
and the clerks are oil busy, to slyly slip
into their pockets, or under coat or cloak,
some article, unperceived, and carry it
away, which not only robS the tradesman
Of the article, but materially reduces
profits on his sales. For our part, while
there may be bright side to q shop keep
er's life, we know there are peculiar trials
In 1t, and he has our fullest sympathy
