They are learning how to advirtise

messed the other day in a fashionable
quarter. A fashionably dressed
Young man walked into wellknown
cafe; then having managed to attract
some attention, he sauutered up and
down the garden, finally seating him
self at small table. 10 him came a
person who from his conversation,
proved to be tailor, who accused
him in warm words of being un-
grateful, stating that he had dressed
him on credit for five years. The
young fellow fired up and declared
himself insulted. A crowd gathered
and eager ears listened to the high
words. Finally, to convince lii,
quondam tailor that another house
was cheaper and better, the late client
pulled out his bill for the garments
he wore. The name, price, address
cct., were read aloud, and the open
mouthed crowd drank it in. The ell.
terprising tailor who got this lit.
