How Florists Bills Are Collected.

A delicate part of the florist business,
requiring Judgment and tact, is the col
lection of his bills. 1t might be sup
posed that as flowers are not necessities
of life in any sense of the word, they
would be bought only by persons fully
able to pay for them, but, according to
the testimony of the leading florists, this
is far from being the case, and some of
the devices resorted to in exacting pay
ment must be peculiarly unpleasant to
all parties concerned. For instance, it
may be supposed that it is only as the
last hope of ever getting payment out of
young A, who has been sending Miss
B. twenty-dollar bouquets twice a week
all winter, that the florist sends the I'M
paid bill to the latter. This is an ex-
IRENE measure, to be sure, and the threat
of such proceeding usually brings the
debtor to terms. As the florist sends
home the flowers he sells, he knows who
receives them, if he does not always
know who is to pay for them. There
are, of course, some bad debts which can
not be recovered, no matter how many
bills are sent to the father, mother,
guardians, brothers and sisters, and,
finally, beneliciaries of the young man
who buys flowers that he can not
pay for and never expects to pay
for. A professional collector is then
employed to make the young man S
life burden to him, and, in the long
run, the debt is usually collected. Tradi-
ton records that a few years ago flor
ist, wishing to collect bill which had
been presented once month for more
than a year, and yetunwilling to threaten
his delinquent customer too directly, in
serted the following card in the news
papers: IF Mr.. X, florist, does not re-
ceive payment for certain bills before the
first OF next month, he will find it neces-
sary to send them to the persons who
have received the flowers To his
amazement checks came in by the dozen,
and from persons for whom the shafts
had not been intended. No florist with
custom to lose will admit that he has
ever dreamed of using such means of
fastening collections, but every florist
knows of some other florist who is sup
posed to be guilty of the questionable
practice.
OF course it will not do for florist to
get the reputation of resorting to I'M
pleasant measures in collecting bills, and
it is understood to be a mooted point
among florists of disputatious turn of
mind whether or not it is proper in any
case TO send bill for flowers to the younS
woman who had not ordered them. but
had received and enjoyed them. The
code OF ethics peculiar to the business
has not settled this point as yet, and it is
probable, so long as the persons who 90
beyond their means in buying flowers
are young men of good family who.
when hard put to it, can beg or borrow
the sum needed, thatsuch measures will
now and then be heard ON Y
Evening Post.

An Honest BOOtbIack.

Last evening "a gentleman, who gave
his name as Harrison, of Freeport, ILL.,,
was hurrying down Broadway, at about
five o'clock, carrying valise, and when
on the Canal-street crossing a large we'll
filed envelope fell from his coat. A
lame bootblaek named Daniel McC earthly,
better known in the neighborhood as
''Limping DAM picked it up, and run
ming as best he could after the loser,
cried: "Say, Mister?'' The man glanced
in the direction of the call, and seeing
the boys backing kit, gruilly said: Il
dom want shine" The boy, however,
exerted himself, and stopping in front
of the man, held up the envelope, say
ing; Mister, you dropped this"
Recognizing his property, change
Immediately spread over his countenance
as he gazed upon the shiveling cripple
before him and asked his name. He
then took him to clothing house near
by and paid for coat and vest for the boy,
after which he handed the grateful boy a
twenty-dolar bill, saying: ''My boy, that
envelope contained large amount of
money. When | come to the city again
! shall be glad to see you" To the Off
Ger he said he had sold some property on
Long Island and that the envelope con-
tanned the proceeds-S1, 900 in checks
and 5000 in bills--which he had just
drawn from bank, and'in his haste to
get to Jersey City, where he was to take
the train, he must have placed the en-
velope between his inside coat and over
coat instead of in his pocket NJ y.
