The clerks in the big store were
in their usual state of ease and We're
exchanging the greetings of the sea-
son across the various counters and
aisles. All this was very annoying
to the little woman who saw time
slipping swiftly by and knew that
she was due at luncheon in Har-
lem. She became somewhat perturb-
ed finally in her effort to buy every
thing she needed, and she did not
observe with that accuracy which
she might have shown. Finally she
rushed up to a clerk who had taken
the stand in front of the corner and
said breathlessly:
II want q box of face powder, if
you please. y
Then the supposed clerk turned
and said, with courtesy and amuse-
ment struggling for the mastery:
II am II customer myself, mad
am.
And madam turned and fed to the
Harlem luncheon without purchas-
ing the powder. New York World

TRANSATLANTIC TREES.


If every needed preparation has been
made and a tree Is properly lifted and
set, it can be removed successfully
as long as the ground continues warm
enough to insure the output of fresh
rootlets IN sufficient numbers to sup
ply the water which is wasted from
the trunk and branches by evapora-
ton during the winter, But whether
or not tree will be likely to survive
that is, whether its chances of life
barely outweigh the dangers Of death
in the operation of removals. not
the question which an enterprising
planter ought to discuss. He will not
be satisfied with a tree simply be-
cause 1t has vitality enough left to
put forth leaves. What he wantsNis a
tree with an unshattered constitution,
a y.gc rous life, promise Of longevity
ami conditions which insure it's best
developments in size, in beauty and
in characteristic expression.
Snail trees can be moved success
fully at any time of the year by one
who knows just how to do 1t. But
In this latitude the transplanting Of
trees ought not 10 be postponed until
as late as the middle of November.
Certainly no tree ought to be trans
planted after this date unless the
ground has been thoroughly and intel
ltgently prepared beforehand. If trees
must be dug or purchased now 1t is
better to heel them in carefully and
at once begin to prepare the place
where they are to live permanently
