An object Lesson.

And they make you do your own shop- ping, too, and match things. The other morning it was sweltering and I had nothing less than anarchy in my heart as went from counter to counter trying to get a quarter of a yard of this or sixth of a yard of that as specified in the list carried. I was just getting into an ugly mood and saying to myself that life is not worth living when I was brought to my senses and made heartily ashamed of myself From behind the counter came patient. tired voice "Oh. ain't that a beautiful breezei" 1t sighed gratefully. It was a beautiful breeze, but I hadn't noticed 1t, although 1t was ruffling the edges of my veil as if trying to drive the frown from my face.
