Of her acquaintance an invitation
couched in the following remarkable
terms:
'Mr. Dash presents his compliments
to Miss Blank, and requests the pleas
ure of her company at the theatre
Monday evening next. Trusting that
we may receive an early and favOra-
BILE response to the foregoing PROPOSE
ton, we remain very respectfully
yours,
Dash & Co. (lnc.)"
The author of this note, it may be
added, Is the junior partner in large
wholesale enterprise in the the Monu-
mental City. AS such he is intrusted
with considerable portion of the cor
respondence of his house. So. it would
seem that in moments absentmind-
edness he had confounded his bust
ness and his social correspondence,
closing his note with the stereotyped
form appended to all letters sent out
by the firm and, to cap the climax,
signing in the same way.
The young woman who was the re-
cipient of this unconventional invita-
ton, however, evidently appreciated
the situation, for she replied in hum
OrOus vein.
The young man of business day or
two afterward was amazed to receive
letter addressed to him personally,
but containing the following reply to
his invitation:
"Messrs. Dash & Company: Your
favor of 18th inst. duly received and
contents noteu. In reply we would
say that we accept the proposition
therein made and hold the goods sub
ject to yr further instructions. Very
truly yours,

Wanted to Help Along.

The London Chronicle tells of a
warmhearted omnibus driver. A wom-
an who occupied seat near the drfv-
err saw a man friend inside an omni-
bus proceeding just ahead. Signs and
telepathic communications alike fail
ed to attract the attention of the un-
conscious passenger, though, of course,
everybody else on both Omnibuses
were wreathed in interested smiles
Then the drivers heart was melted.
Leaning forward, he prodded the con-
ductor Of the foremost bus with his
whip. "Tell the gentleman to smile
at the lady!". he said.-New York

Look to Your Walk.

Look to your walk. 1t has more to
do with your success or failure than
you, perhaps, dream of. Don't SLOUGH.
Don't wobble. Don't shuttle. Don't
strut. Walk like man who is deter
mined to play a mans part in life,
with head erect and feet planted firm
ly on the ground.
One may see on the streets of a
city, every day. many people who are
walking failures. There is not the
slightest energy in their movements.
Their whole bearing gives the testi.
mony Of their weakness. How do we
know that they are failures? Nothing
is simpler. There is subtle connec.
ton between the mind and the body.
The mental attitude is reflected in
the spontaneous movements of the
body, and you can very quickly tell
by a mans walk and general bearing
whether his mind is alert, his spirit
progressive and earnest and his whole
being full Of life and vigor and deter.
mination, or he is a slipshod, lazy,
lifeless creature.-Success.
