Hiram made compact with his wife
one New Years day that she should
take charge of the purchase of his
clothes throughout the coming year..
= On the second day OF January he sug-.
gested that his suit was getting little
shabby and that he ought to have a new
one.
"Oh no. my DEAR" she replied. at is
now almost midwinter. and you must
make this suit do until it is time for
spring one"
Oh the first of February he declared
that he must have new suit Of clothes.
"Oh, no. Hiram" she said. "The
first of February is no time to buy new
suit. twill be of no use TO you, only
for a little while, as the warm weather
will soon come on. Wait while, and
buy thin spring suit"
On the first of March he timidly made
the suggestion again.
WHY, my dear,'' she replied. sit
would neverdo to change from one suit
of clothes to another iii March. The
weather is so uncertain and changeable
that you would surely catch your death
of cold'
Hie first day of April he renewed his
request. He said his clothes were be-
coming positively ragged aud he must
have new suit.
lob no, N.Y. dear" replied his wife,,
"they are just the kind of clothes to
wear in April. No one should ever
think Of putting good clothes on id
Aprik.i Your present clothes,"f she
sald, ...are just what you need to sIop
round with, in the rain"
The first, day of May Hiram said to
his wife: ''Of course, Ellen, there can
be no objection to purchasing suit of
clothes fhOw.''
You know your health is delicate, and
1t is danger Gus for you to put THU
suit on now and, wear it every day.
| There ale to he cold days. and you
| might catch your DEATH"
The lst day Of june came. and Hira m
said: y ~
I"Well, now, Ellen, let US 60 out today
aud get that suit of clothes" !.
Mot just yet. Hiram. Not just yet,''.
replied Ellen. "Ehe temperature of
June, yen know. is usually very mod
crate and any suit yon might buy today
would not be thin enough for the terri
BILE heat of July and August. BE pa
rient little longer, Hiram"
Hiram wasA patient again until the
LIST ofiJuly. ,#s, :.
.'Now."I he said. ss'you will surely let
| me get, that Suit, Elem,
"Oh no. Hiram, don't buy a suit in
July above all Sotiier months. A SUIT
suitable for j uiy is. suitable for no other
time in the year.At the best you could
| only wear it a few, weeks, and so your
money would be entirely thrown away.
l wouldn't be SO foolish, Hira m, as to
buy suit this month:''
The first day Of a 1yust Hiram revert
ed to the old subject again.
''Now, Hiram. | hope you will not be
| so FOOLISH" said Ellen, .'as to buy a
new suit Of clothesin dog days. You
can't get a suit anyway that will be.
| suitable to this weather-one day damp,
and foggy, the next hot and dry. No
prudent man will ever buy suit Of
| clothes at this season of the year." =
The first day of September the im-
memorial subject was renewed again.
"Why, Hiram, you are very foolish,''
said Ellen. Ito think of buying suit of
clothes in September. A summer suit
would be TOO cool, and winter suit
would be too warm. Whatever YOU,
bought you. could wear only short
time, anyway. am surprised, fIiratn,
that you should suggest such a. foolish
idea. --z'7-.s -
The first day of October Hiram said.
he must have a.suit, anyway. 100
"Whvs no, Hiram, not yet. Just think:
how mild October is. and how cold 1t Ia,
in November. What treme hdoas con-
trast there is between the two months.
A SUIT of clothes that IS suitable for
October is entirely unfit for November.
Wait d bit, my dear.''
The first OF November Hiram was
getting desperate. aud said he muat
