SENDS HIS BILLS TO MEN.
They Pay Much More Promptly than
Women.

There is a man in an eastern city
who does a large business in babies
dresses, and clothing for very young
children" writes Edward Box, in The
Ladies' Home Journal. HE makes
and sells nothing else. His trade is
almost entirely with women. Up to
within three years ago he would send
out to his customers bills amounting
to as much as $4,000. In six months
time he would receive less than 5000
in return. Yet his customers all stood
we'll and were considered women of
easy means. Then he deliberately
changed his method of rendering bills.
He went over his books and found that
he had some $4,000 worth of unpaid
accounts. He made out the bills. and
addressed them to the husbands or
fathers of his customers, directing the
bills to their offices. Within sixty
days he had received So. 600 in checks.
His inyariable rule now is to send all
his bills to the husbands, fathers or
the male members of his customers
families. When no male member ex-
lists he insists upon a cash transaction

Mrs. Stowe in London.

Mrs. B. Stowe and family have ar
rived. We are very much amused
with the young ladies, so extremely
ciferent from anything in the shape
of young ladies one ever saw before;
talking much, giving their opinions
most decidedly on all subjects; never
saying. Good night Good morning
If you please, or Thank you leaning,
their elbows well on the table at din
ner; saying, Ma at every word
knives in their mouths. All tn
strikes one; but have been drivia
with them today, and discovered theif%
good points: great and most proper
admiration of their mother, who reads
all her books to them before they are
published, and clever and dis
eliminating appreciation of their
beauties. Mrs. Stowe has always lad
a passion for writing ever since she
was quite a child. Uncle Ton she
wrote every word of herself. now she
always has some one to dictate to.
She is very pleasant and Interesting to
listen to; but do not think one would
her wonderful powers from
her conversation."--Fr Some

Countess Granville.
