makes the public familiar with the
names, and in some cases with the
countenances of inventors and manu-.
facturerS, and So strong is the power
of association that ON meeting one of
these much advertised persons as a
private individual it is difficult for
some persons to refrain from asking
him instantly about the article to
which his features seem to be only IA

A lady who was making an evening
call met man OF the name of Brown,
who had invented an improved button
hole making attachment for sewing
machine. and whose name, preceded
by a hideouS caricature of his face, had
been omnipreSent in the advertisements
for some time He had two charming
daughters whom the lady had seen not
long before. and with whom she had

ceeded in addressing Mr. Brown by his
rightfuI name only 10y great mental eI-
ertions. as another word was constantly
trembling on her lips

of relief she heard his good evening""
to which she responded with her sweet
est smile. and added. Please remem-
Der me kindly to the Misses Button
hole!" Youths Companion.
