thoroughly finished that their last

Bible is worse than the first. But as

A BLIND SHOPPER.
She Makes Her Own Selections Of Dress
Goods and Trimmings.

Shoppers i'm ono of the big stores Gown
town last bargain day curiously watched
the movements of blind woman ut the
dress goods counter. She was about 80
years old, her face showing great intelli-
gence and refinement. She was richly
dressed for the street, and girl about 20
years old accompanied her.
The blind woman examined the rich
fabrics placed before her by passing them
through her hands She depended upon
her own sense OF touch apparently, for she
seldom spoke To her companion, and then
only in answer 10 questions. She appeared
to be quito critical, and before she made
her selections the counter was piled high
with patterns of all kinds.
After she had examined n largo number
of pieces she took up ono of the first that
had been shown her and decided TO buy It,
When the clerk had measured IL, she
verified the length herself by measuring 10
with her outstretched arms Seemingly
satisfied that the piece contained as much
as she had bnrgainod for, she took trans
fer ticket and went to the counter where
trimmings are sold There she selected
the material with which 10 finish her dress,
examining the laces aud other delicate
fabrics In the most critical manner
After the blind woman had left the store
the floor manager said her shopping was
not an unusual thing She was but one
of the many blind customers who came
into tho store regularly. This woman, he
said was not only able TO mako the incest
discrimination In tho matter of trim
mings. but SO delicate was her touch sho
could often listinugish colors. lie added
however, that she never depended entirely
upon her touch in matching shades, but
verified her selections with the eyes Of the
clcrk and her companion. Chicago Trib-
