day a fashily dressed and vulgar looking
woman entered his store. Without any
circumlocution she introduced herself as
his lnother-in-law. The gentleman denied
the relationship. as his wife had always
spoken OF her parents as being dead, but
the woman persisted that she was telling

village, and it had terrible effect on the
