How He MeaSures.

Americans are mistaken in supposing Lon
don tailors to be the best. A correspondent
says: st was my misfortune to order some
clothing from Regent street tailor, and
after selecting the goods was asked to step
into back room to be measured. began
at once to divest myself of my coat. The
cutter looked at me in amazement, and told
me that was quite unnecessary, and proceed
ed in his way and by the aid of tape meas
ure to guags my chest. He did not even ask
me to button my coat, but, as though he
were in hurry to finish a disasreeahle job,
he took my measure from shoulder to
shoulder in jiffy, then from my collar but
ton to my waist, then from my shoulder to
my.wrist, and twirling me around glanced at
the length of my coat, uttered some nysteri-
GUS words to dull witted boy, who was jot-
ting down the figures In q ledger, smiled
self satisfied smile, and told me he was sure
would like the fit When he came to measure
me for vest, he slipped the tape measure in
under my coat, measured my chest and waist
and said he knew exactly the vest wanted.
He took one glance at my trousers, measured
my right leg from my waist to my foot and
then around the knee, and said the clothes
would be ready the following night. init
mated that was used to little more careful
measurement, and that hardly expected the
clothes would suit me. The tailor replied, in
an unconcerned sort Of way, that he was
sorry for me, that was simply an American
and, like all other Americans, l had never
been used to wearing clothes that fitted me.
He did not consider that an American tailor
knew his business. In the matter of cutting
clothing, he said, the London tailors were I'M
surpassed. They never made coat fit too
tight for man and the trousers were never
too small. "-Pittsburg Bulletin.

Midnight-the song is done; lay down thy lutte.
Dark face, yet raptured from the music's closa
The lamps swings languidly -thes soft light glews
Around thee and thy passionate lips are mute
Too near to mine. Warm fragrances of fruit,
Odors Of musk and 1essamine and rose
Float family past US; some late reveler goes
Hemeward with far OF sound Of fife and flute
The curtains drop their deep embroidery
Behind thee and the jeweled gobIets CLEAN;
Thy hungry. yearning eyes are fixed on mine
As In the mazes Of wild love dream.
Slowly. by some magic law divine,
We tremble toward each other silently.
