Il the field of hel

the people think they know everything
and about a thousand times as much
more, and then some more.
She had boarded a street car up
town, coming out of store with her
gloves off, for some reason or other
best known to herself. Possibly it was
J glove store. Whatever it was she had
her gloves of, and it was proper and
. correct for her to have them off, or she
. would have had them on.
Il There were not more than eight OF
ten people in the car, and when she had
/ taken seat she began TO put her gloves
on. When they were on she took out
of her poe ketboOk dainty little silver
glove buttOner and proceededto button
that one on her left hand. In doing so
the buttoner slipped frnm her fingers
and fell TO the floor of the car.
| Immediately chappie-looking young
man with the Rock Of Gibraltar in his
face stopped to pick the buttoner up,
and, having got it in his hands, he rose,
smiling, and, much to her surprise, Of
| fered to button the glove. /.
For an instant she acted about as the
average girl would have done, and then
the Washingtonian genius came to her
aid, and smiling kindly, she held her
hand out to him in compliance with
bis request.
She sat perfectly unmoved- as he took
about twice as long to it as there was
any need, and as soon as he had finished
it she calmly held out the other.
He didn't quite expect this, ,evidenly,
but he had his nerve with him, and
more smiling than ever, he took her hand
in his and b1ttoned the other glove.
Taking the buttonhook from his un-
resisting fingers, she took out her
pocketbook to replace it, and finding in
it nickel, with the most innocent
manner in the world she handed it to
the young man.
i With all his nerve he couldn't stand
this, and he promptly returned it, at
the same time making some kind of a
protest, which she did not pay any at
tention to, but took the coin back and
proffered dime in its stead. This he
also returned with quite show of in-
dignation.
"Why," she excla lined, with that
same beautiful artlessness,' I never give
more than ten cents at home to have
my gloves buttoned."
Everybody in the car heard her say
it, of course, and before anybody had
stopped laughing the gallant glove
buttoner had escaped from the car and
disappeared. ashington Star.
