SHE WON THE GLOVES.
A Smart Young Man Who Was
Fooled by a Widow.

who has apartments on the same floor.
This is how it happened: The gentle
man came home M afternoon, and,
as he passed along the hall to his room
he saw through the half-opened door
of the fair ones room a sight that
caused him to stop andexclailn, what
on earth are you doing?o The lady
stepped to the door and explained
that a new dress had just been sent
home, and that she had placed her
mirror down on the floor SO that she
could see how the dress looked as she
walked past.
Looks all right, said he.
That's all you know about it" said
the widow. "ln the first place it
doesn't hang well behind; there is q
certain satisfaction and peace of mind
to q oma that knows that her
dress hangs we'll behind that the COM
forts of religion do not give. But the
greatest fault with it is that it is SO
short that | am almost ashamed to
wear it,
"That's SO. It is awfully short he
said, looking down at the widows
graceful ankles as she moved around
behind a chair. But / always
did admire those embroidered Isle
thread
You don't know what you're talk
ing about; they're not Isle thread,
and you have nothing to base an
opinion on except your too fertile i'm
agination."
"Wel l v worked in a dry
goods store, but I'll just bet you a
pair of gloves thatI am right and that
they are Isle thread"
And you won't ever tell a living
soul if l show you that you are
wrong?o
'Neverl Upon my honor
"Well, come in and close the door,
but remember that / trust you to be
honorable in this and never breathe a
word of it. And if I satisfy you that
you are wrong / am to have a pair of
eight button white gloves
"Yes, yes, that's all right he an
swered impatiently, thinkingit would
be a good bet if he lost.
Walking deinurely to a dressing
case. she opened the upper drawer
and said
II bought three pairs yesterday;
here are the other two, and you see
they are silk, not Isle thread, and
they have just a little line up the side
aRnt i tbongbt Won were ooinc

sSir, There are some subjects upon
which you have no right to think.
Never mind what you thought she
continued, as she held the door open
for her callers exit. Just utilize
your thinker in remembering that
you owe Inc a pair OF gloves.n--St.

be u~nlnJured by moths, increased and
spotless when wanted IN a autumn.
Table talk tells tina cnenIlie draperies

will put these tiny despoilerS to flight.
Chenille curtains should never be
wiped of, nor should they be shaken
vigorously. When taken down the
curtains should be laid at full length
over a clean sheet stretched upon one
floor, then thoroughly brushed on
both sides with a moderately stiff
clothes brush. Now sponge both
sides thoroughly with tepld water, to
which has been addedtwo tablespoon
fuls OF turpentine. Lay them care
fully away on shelves or in long cedar
boxes.
