She was one of the prettiest little things
in the world and the way she stepped into
the store and ordered a bill of groceries was
sight worth witnessing. When she came
to settle for them she found she did not
have enough money with her, so blushingly
asked that they be sent c. 90.
"ICertainly," returned the obiging grocer,
smilingly.. "What is the number?''
The little lady stammered as she gave the
name Gibson, but failed utterly when she
came to the number. At last she faltered
out:

fastened away covered with confusion and

An interested bystander asked the grocer
as the girl went out the door:
"One of those persons who try to get
goods under false pretenses, I suppose?"
