Hant?"
u want pattern.
What kini?'
Now you've got me What kind
would you want II you we're me-
That depends Who is 1t t1r''
My wife
Is she young2"
Five years younger than l.
That's not answering my question
Oh, isn't IT, thought II was. Yes
she's young She was 35 the tenth OF
ast November"
The girl looked Dandy up and down
With unblinking cOOness
Dear me she said. how some
folks do hold their own
There was a pause
1T Is hard work" yen,ured the
girl presently for man 70 select
becoming pattern for a woman Why
iidn't your wife come herself"
She couldn't She has rheuma-
ism and can't get out Of the house
You advertised a sale Of $50 pat
'erns for 70 cents today only She
.ouldn't afford TO let the bargain slip,
so she asked ne To get a pattern for
her"
She must have faith in your judg-
ment."
she has reason to-
Why"
81 married her"
THAT is no sign you can buy a pat
'e1n for her dresses. Most men can
please a woman by wanting TO marry
her, but few can keep on pleasing by
choosing her clothes afterward
There may be something in that;
still. I've got TO get a pattern What
would you advise"
1T all depends upon your wfe'5
style What kind OF looking woman
Is she?"
Stunning"
THAT is too indefinite There are
lots OF stunning women in New York.

tore. My wife's eyes are gray. They're
like yours They've got those same
little purplish specks around the pu-
pill that are found in only one pair OF
eyes in million"
1T depends, too, upon the material,
II she has a yoile gown"
at is yoile. heard her say so last
night Her nose is like yours, too,
only yours turns up a little biz more
Just at the end And her hair Is that
same sunny shade Of brown Her COM
plexlon is a little muddy now, on ac-
count Of the rheumatism, but when
che Is well her color is as fresh and
delicate as yours"
The eyes, nose and hair really have
little to do with the selection OF he
coming pattern. They are not hard 70
At. II is the figure that counts If you
could give me some idea OF the height
-"
She's tall"
Here IS a pattern that think
would suit her The skirt hangs in
folds
"Oh. that is one of those balcony
things with l6 drawstrings around the
waist | think they are beastly ugly.

IL have one of them on now My
friends think it rather becoming"
Stand back minute and let me
see. Yes, tnat does look nice. but
then you would look char ming in any
thing.
Thank you. II you had only re
membered to bring your wife's meas
urements along

pocket Waist, ,; hips. i4-a-a-hem
Seems to me that's little more ro-
bust"
The girl clasped her hands at either
side Of her q waist
1T Is rather" she said, but this
style Of dress is very popular Every
body wears IT,
"All right, III take IT, What's the
use Of having a wife II you can't dress
her In style''
Eight hours later Dandy sauntered
into his own sitting room and laid the
pattern on the table
"Oh. you darling" cried Mrs. Dandy.
You did relent and get me one Of
those fun skirts, after all. This is a
beautiful pattern. always did say
you had the best taste Of any man In
the world"
Thanks" said Dandy Il think,
myself, kLow good thing whpn I
