The tall man looked appealingiy at
his wife. She shook her head firmly
That there cloth won't make up into
no SIS suit" she said. They're sell
ing the same pattern in the stores at
81 suit-reaI bargains. Say, Mr..
Johnson, seeing that John paid in SIG
before he won the lucky number, 1
think you ought to make him two
suits for that"
Your husband is getting a barain
when he pays S19 for a $25 suit"
Johnson replied.
"Oh, you amt getting rich out OF
nothing" laughed the woman, giving
Johnson a good natured poke with
her fat finger, We'll, throw in an
extra pair of trousers, then. That'u
be an inducement to my husband to
stay with you"
Johnson shook his head.
When the Jonses enaIIy departed,
leaving the selection OF material until
after another investigation by Mrs.
Jones Of the 81 bargain suits, John
son mOpped his brow and said things
softly to himself. These remarks for
his own refreshment were cut short
by the advent Of a tall, determined
looking woman.

made for Mr.. Brown would Mt a man

it and take it in where I have put

But Mr. Brown was satisfied"
I'm not" Mrs. Brown interrupted,
severely. When he holds his arm
like this the sleeve is a mile too long"
ANY mans sleeve would be if he
drew his arm up like that" johnson
protested.
Mrs. Brown ignored the reply.
Please send for the suit at once and
have it altered and ready by tOmOr-
row, when Mr.. Brown will send for
it We leave the city at O'Clock to-
morrow. Good morning." Mrs.
Brown departed.
Three minutes later the telephone
bell rang.
