A Shopper Who Came Near Being Buyer,
 But Managed to Escape,
 Over the ribbon counter of big store hung one festoon bright enough in color to attract the rowing eye of one of New York's luxurious matrons, The morning was sultry, and the busy clerks were too tired and cross to answer leisurely questions with their usual suavity, but the matron was interested and not to be put off by snappy replies. After a prolonged gaze at the bright hued ribbon, she drawled, in most provokingly-unhurried way:
 Name of that?n
 'sName, Mean name of the color2"
 Yes
 "Phlox."
 Another prolonged gaze, during which the energetic young woman be- two more decided customers, deftly measuring off yards of ribbon. Then came again the provoking drawl:
 Think that is wide enough for col- lar and belt?n
 Crush collar and belt?"
 s'Yes, crush collar"
 ''That is about the width.
 A long pause, devoted to contempla- tion.
 '.Three-quarters enough?"
 "Yes, if you have a rosette.
 More for ends?'
 Takes yard if you have ends"
 Period of silent cogitation.
 Whats the price2" & The blaclz-eyed clerk, who was pot ''divinely tall" strained her arm in vain effort to catch the roll which hung just beyond her reach, and a friendly voice from neighboring counter cried, ''Forty-five cents.
 sForty-five cents, madam" repeated the saleswoman in tone calculated to suppress further inquiry Madame was unconscious of offense, and took more time for consideration.
 Think narrower width would do?'' An expressive shrug,. followed by ''Yes, if you like 'em narrower.
 Well, give me yard of that"

 Conan Doyle has begun to pave the way for his approaching lecture tour of the United States by say ing fiatter- inc things about American authors. He likes the work of Riley, Cable, and Miss Jewett, but he is especially charmed with Mary D.

 Capt. Mahan, U s. N, who has been receiving such unusual honors from England, is extremely modest by temperament.
