SHE CHANGED .Hsa ADDRESS.


Where the New House Was.
We have often thought we should
like 10 tend bar in tie counting room
ola newspaper. A man in this posi-
ton gets so much general information.
The other day we were hanging
around in The Posts counting room
trying to make it appear we were tEo
business manager or cashier or some
body worth while, when a very dis
tinguished looking lady entered and
said 10 the engaging young gentleman
who politely offered his services;
Twill you be kind enough to
change the address on u rpaperl"
Certainly, said the young gentle
man, taking his pen from over his ear
and reaching for the address book.
THANK you" she said, and turned
to sweep out.
Excuse me, madam, but you did
not give me the address,"
Didn't IL | thought ] did. Are you
surel"
"Perhays | didn't hear it"
Maybe not but ! am pretty sure l
gave it 10 you"
The young man politely waited.
OH You want TO know where to
send the paper. Yes, yes; | didn't UNI
derstaud you. You see, lam not very
familiar with business. My husband
almost always attends 10 such things,
but lie is hanging the pictures in the
new house tins afternoon aud, us | was
coming down to do a little shopping,
he asked me TO attend To this.
'Icsm." said the young gentle.
man, resumiug his waiting attitude.
1t will come TO rs all rigln now,
will it, size asked, turning 10 go.
The young gentleman c~ourteously
inquired her name She looked n lit,
lie iusultel, then a triile dazcd, but
presently she smiled and said:
"Oh, YOU want my name so that
you'll know whom TO send it 10. OF
course, how stupid | ami" and she
blushcd and seemed confused. You
see, I've become so acc Istomed to hay
ing all the gentlemen with whom |
do business know wIo ! am that !
never once thought
She gave her marie and the young
gentleman wrote il iown.
Where has the paper been deliver
ed, please,
why, at our Old place. We Just
moved yesterday. The old house was
very comfortable and we should have
stayed there. but our-what do you
call itl-lease-is that iti'
Probably"
Yes; our lease expired on the first
of the month, and the man who owns
the house has concluded to live in il
himself and let us have the new house
he has just built. 1t is a very nice
house and has more convenicnces
than the old one, but after all the old
place was good deal like home TO us,
we had lived there so long. Still, the
new place is much nearer 10 my hus-
bands place OF business, and | think
it is in q little more desirable quarter
Of the city, too"
What section is it inl' asked the
young man, with commendable stra.
tegy,
''0h, the northwest section. |
wouldn't move from the old place 10
go TO any other than the northwest
section, for r.
"And what street is it int"
She gave the name Of a fashionable
street.
"And what is the numberl"
She looked as if she were not quite
sure this was not impertinence, but the
young gentleman's polite manner re.
assured her and she told him the num-
Der.
where have you been liviugf"he
asked.
She certainly thought that he was
a very inquisitive ~person-her counte-
nance showed that much-but she an
swered his question, not, however,
without a resolution 10 put a stop to
his inquiries, for when she had given
the number of the old place somewhat
icily, she turned and rather strobe
than walked from the Office. Wash
