them something about the COST and what it was,
and how it fit, and all that sort OF thing like l
knew anything about. dress fitting and model
waist lining But you know we men who travel
around, generally have pretty good use of our al
tongues and full supply, of brass on hand to
mould several candle stands. So looked at the
thing myself, and tried to study up on it little,
and get up some kind Of plausible answer for
failure. not knowing anything about Dresses and
Dress Making, and, worst Of all being an old
bachelor, could not tell them anything that would
interest them, and what do you think did ?
WHY I lust thought of your first advertisement
on the subject and procured copy of your
valuable town paper, and carried it along with
me, so when they ask me about that Cut in the
paper, just pull out the ENQUIRER and tell
them to read what the Old Chap had to say about
it, 'butI can tell you when came across party
who could not read, they got me. Just to think
that had to read that advertisement, we'll, was
never caught in just such box. Well, Old

Chinese Babies.

One of the first things that happens
to a Chinese bov after he Is born is to
be shaved. A b ,rber comes with his
razor and all the hair is shaved off the
poor little fellows tender scalp. After
that, the baby has to go to the barber
for his shave just as grown man, with
beard, might go in this country; but
he never seems to enjoy it, and cries
pitifully every time the sharp razor
mows down the hair. After awhile,
when the hair begins to grow thicker,
the head is not shaved all over, but is
left untouched in spots, just as the
parents think will look pretty.
Sometimes there will be more tufts,
each as big round as silver dollar;one
Just over the middle of the forehead
and one over each ear. When the hair
grows long enough IN these tufts, it is
braided and tied with bright cord, and
then baby looks funny enough to a
foreigner, for each little braid stands
stiffiy up for about two inches and then
lops over. The braids look like horns
on his head, and holes are cut in his
green and red cap to let the horns come
through.
