Topop or not to pop, that is the question
Whether It's easier for a man to suffer
In single blesscdness the ruhs OF fortune,
Or ask come pretty girl to share his
And by proposing end them. To WOO, to
wed,
No mufe-and by a form to say he's free
From all the little ills u bachelor, poor man,
Is plagued with-'tis u consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To WOO, to we'd
Perhaps a family! All, there's the rub:
For In the marriage state what cares may
When he has taken to himself a wife
Must give him pause; there's the respect
That makes cclibacy of so long . life.
For who would bear the washerwoman's
crimes,
The buttonless shirt, the stockings full Of
holes,
The pangs Of collars with q saw like edge,
The lodging keepers sins, the cats mis-
deeds,
And strange evaporation Of his brandy,
When he himself might his quietus make
With q plain gold ring. Who would cham
And growl and fret q solitary life
But that the dread Of endless tradesmen's
bills
(rhe housekeeping expenses, from whose
doom
No benedict cscapes) puzzles the will
And makes hin rather bear the ills he has
Than fly to others that perhaps are worse.
Thus prudence makes q coward of \ man,
And thus We see most desperate flirtstions
On this account too often end in smoke,
And promises apparently Of granite
Are broken like the crust Of apple pie,
Aud ladies bring an faction.

Fair Trade Detectives.

The other day, says the Philadelphia
Tunes, two pretty young ladies, both
daintily dressed entered onc of our
large dry goods establishments, took
the elevator to tho second floor and
the fur department. Here a careful
examination of costly furs resulted in
the selection of q sealskin dolman.
One of tho ladies opened her purse.
At that moment the iloor-walkcr step
ped up. He was excited and spoke
Williams" he said; land you." turn.
ing to the purchasers. "lcave this store
ut once" Astonished and terrified,
they stared helplessly Mt the man.
''Come, get out l tell you." he con
tinued, cor I'll have you bounced in
short order" Tho ladies were thought
to be- "pricers." A detective and
several statesmen assisted in their re-
moval to the street. That this was a
case of mistaken identity became pain
fully apparent to tho startled firm a
few days later. Suit was brought and
5000 was required to settle, in order
to keep the case out of the papers. 1t
transpircd that the ladies were the
daughters of wealthy residents of the
city. The incident serves to show
to what lengths great firms go to de-
tcct these .spricers."
This term "pricer" needs explana-
ton. Some Of tho most successful
houses in Philadelphia and New York
keep q small book entitled: "Purchas-
ing account" The pages of this brass
bound little volume r scanned only
by the members of the firm and by the
confidential clerk, who has exclusive
control Of this interesting bit of trade
policy. At the close of the season the
amounts which .'balance" run nearly
into six figures. These represent dis
bursements for purchasing, for
salaries, carrage-hire. l%uncheons,
messenger service. and incidentals.
and show credits for goods purchased
gloves. hosiery. silks. and satins. to
imported costumes, fur, mantles, brio
a-brac, art embroideries, bronzcs. and
other costly articles. Some of the
names Of ladies which appear on these
pages opposite heavy purchases also
appear prominently in the social
world. The competition between big
houses is SO keen that tho only way
each can keep even with the other is t.
employ professional people to go from
one to the other and inquire price!
and compare goods. For obviou!
reasons the mission of these people j!
secret, while their appearance mus
be exceptional. It would not do fol
common-looking people to be buying
$500 sacques, &c silks. and $40 velveti
every few days. Really fashionable
and wealthy people are required fol
the delicate service. and strange as j
may seem r readily secured.
