They Made an Error.

"Why isn't your wife heref'' asked the
floor manager as he stopped for minute
to chat with the man in the shabby dress
suit
-ah-the-ah-the fact is she
never goes to these full dress affairs" ex-
planned the man in the shabby dress suit.
"Now you speak of it," said the floor
manager, 81 am reminded of the fact that
never did see her at one of our dances !"
"Quite right" replied the man in the
shabby dress suit with evident relief. "She
! never attends them"
but on the other hand" continued the
floor manager, "she always attends the in
formal entertainments, while l don't re-
call that ever saw you at one of them"
"That's right, too," admitted the man
in the shabby dress suit, shifting uneasily
from one foot to the other. "You soc, we
were lacking in foresight this year, and it
has been rather awkward, but next year
We expect to appear together again"
The floor manager looked puzzled, and
the man in the shabby dress suit appeared
i'll at ease.
~ don't believe 1 quite understand, :"
said the floor manager at last.
"NoP"
"No."
The man in the shabby dress suit pulled
the floor manager a little to one side,
where they couldn't be overheard.
my wife thinks We ought to be repre-
sented in society" he said, "but we made
an error in our plans. We could only af-
ford one suit for each Of us, and she got a
gown for afternoon teas and such things,
while bought dress suit. Her gown is
out of place where l can wear my suit, and
can't wear my suit where her gown is
the proper caper. We must make the best
of it this year, but next year VIC intend to
try to get into the same class. "-Chicago

A Result of Fortune Telling.

The girls employed in one of the big
department stores of New York amuse
themselves during lunch hour by telling
each others fortunes in teacups. "Yet-
tie," said one of them the other day,
peering intently into teacup, "is 60
ing to die an old maid. She will be
taken away from homo over the water
somewhere. She will 60 out of her mind
she-I can't read any more" " Then the
gong sounded and the ohattering work
ers scattered. Today Yettie is at home
raving maniac. She cries out that she
don't want to be sent over the water.
No one can quiet her fears nor exercise
the evil spirit born of the folly of for
tune telling. But new rule has been
posted in the lunch room OF the big
store.
