MEN AS
They Take What Is Given to Them and
Then Go Away.

The ~saleswoman, whose duty it Is to
wait upon the gentleman customers, not
being thus engaged, had gone TO serve a
lady. who proved TO be III extremely hard
customer to suit, calling for one style after
another. The clerk was becoming dis
couraged and beginning to feel as If she
didn't care whether or not a sale was made.
At this poin. another saleswoman said
to her. Maud, there's a man." md came
IA relieve her of the uncomfortable GUS
toner where gentlemen's gloves were sold.
What would you like to see, sir?" she
asked of the man who was waiting.
II want u medium shade of brown. with
wide stitch en- the back and fastened with
a button instead of a clasp"
The salesw1man placed a varied assort-
ment before him. Quickly selecting IA pair,
he exclaimed, Just what / want" and
had u glove fitted. 1t suited him exact
ly, AMI having paid for his purchase he
left the store.
Now what sort OF gloves does the reader
think this gentleman purchased? They
were of Il dar,,. shade of brown, not medi-
UNI. They had a narrow stitch on the
back, not wide. They were fastened with
q clasp, not With buttons.
Perhaps scme man can answer this
question: Why do ladies like TO wait on
men better than their own sex-because
they are SO easily pleased. or because they
do not really know what they WANT
