This may all be hypocrisy, in great or small
degree; but, after ali, it means something

is no amusement in deceiving anybody but

''That lady" said a Woodward avenue
merchant, pointing to a woman who had
traded about SI2 worth in ten minutes and
was going out, used to be one OF my worst
callers. She'd come in almost daily, bother
four or five clerks for two hours, and go out
without buying cents worth"
''How did you cure here"
"Well, l spoke TO her in an off hand way
one day, and she fired up and said That as
long as | kept clerks it was my business to
be bothered. Next day l selected ten of the
girl clerks, posted EN- as to what to say, and
they rung her door bell at intervals of an
hour ali day and inquired if she wanted a
nurse girl. She didn't, and told them so
pleasantly enough until the tenth one came.
Then she said:

often unique. At a recent reception one fair
