A young man who was going to escort
his sweetheart to holiday party made the
unnerving discovery that he had no clean
COLLAR to wear; so he carried one of his
soiled ones to the only laundress living in
the place. He had become very angry at
her the week before because she had ruined
some of his linen, and he had resolved
never to employ her again, but this was an
urgent case, and he had no time to send
his collar away and get it back before the
party. Moreover, he didn't want to buy
one, as his money vas rather low. When
he called for me collar in the afternoon, it
was all ready for him, and inspection
proved chat it was "done up'' beautifully.
He offered her 2 cents in payment, but she
told him it was worth 10 cents to bother
with just one collar. The young man be

Our city is already pretty deeply in
