How the Chair Was Made to Suit.

PROM utB ANuSNUtlte <1HteTtCOH.
a furniture dealer tells a little story that
shows how some people are constituted. A
lady ordered an elegant easy chair of a
peculiar kind. 1t was made and sent to her
house. She examined it carefully and criti-
cally, finally remarking that it suited her
exactly, with one exception--it was too
soft. She had the man take the chair back
to be made trifie harder. The chair was re
turned to the store and put aside. Nothing
was done to it, After the lapse of about a
week the chair was sent out again. The
woman again examined it and this time the
chair was too hard. She was sorry, but
when she paid so much to get an article for
her own comfort she wanted it about right,
so she sent it back to the store for anot her
change. The chair was again put aside for
a week or ten days, and sent out for the
third time without having a particle of
change made. This time it was just right.
She took the chair, paid for it and was sor-
ry it had not suited her at first. The poor
woman never knew that the chair had not
been changed particle
