HARD TO GET.
The Girls Were Learning to Make
Hair Flowers and They
Wanted White.

A venerable white-haired clergyman re.
Gently preached in the church of a friend
He had hardly got back to the vicarage
from the church when the door bell rang
and young lady asked to see him. He re:
ceived her. They talked about the sermon
and other things, until finally she asked,
efficiently:
"Oh, won't you please give me lock Of
certainly, my child" said the old gentle,
man, fattered at the request. ''I'll send it
to you tomorrow" And he did.
On his return to his own home he had
five more requests of the same kind, and
he proudly boosted to his wife that he was
glad to see that he had not yet lost his
power to please. All went well until his
wife received this note:
Dear Mrs. Fourthly: Won't you please
ask your husband to send me just little
lock of his hair? We have all been taking
lessons in making hair flowers. So many OF
the other girls asked him, and he sent it to
