ONE DRUMMER'S MISTAKE.
He Took the Wrong Travelling Bag and
Didn't Find 1t Out Until Too Late.

Didn't Find 1t Out Until Too Late.
The small travelling bag is used for a
good many purposes nowadays.
Office girls carry them, typewriter
girls use them and women who sell
books disguise their real business with
them. The latest use to which they
have been put is for marketing.
The idea is said to have been origi-
mated by young married woman who
wanted to go to market, but who
wouldn't be seen coming therefrom
with her arms full of packages or a
basket in her hand.
At last she hit upon the idea of the
travelling bag. That would do first
rate 1t looked business-like. II was
far better than clumsy basket. The
idea was approved by other young
wives. and now when young women are
seen in the street in the evening carry
ing travelling bags they are probabl
headed for the market.
One of these neat, prudish young
wives lives in an uptown fat. She is
the right kind of a woman, for she
helps her husband BY driving close
bargains on meat, veseta bles and pro-
visione generally. She enjoys market
ing. and has one of the popular leather
bags in which to carry home her pur-
chase.
This little woman has a brother who
is a commercial traveller. and most Of
his time is spent on the road. The
other evening the young wife returned
from marketing trip and placed Her
travelling bag on the dining-room able
while she went to remove her hat and
gloves.
Suddenly there was a sound Of steps
outside the door. and a moment later a
strong shake was given it and hearty
voice outside said:
Let me in, Lou; I've set just three
minutes 20 spare"
1t was her brother She hadn't seen
him for months. She threw the door
open The brother rushed in. put his
travelling bag down on the table and
wrapped his sister in his arms
