ficulty, the customers size being an
"off" one.
1t looks very nice on YOU" ven
tured Miss Goldenhair, after the
woman had put the blouse on and
taken it of three times, and turned
herself around before the mirror
fourteen times.
Il know, but really don't think /
can bother buttoning it up the back.
Oh, know it's all the style, but I'm
too busy woman to bother with
style. Show me something that
fasteas in front, with no yoke, and
some more lace trimming, and tight
cuffs"
Miss Goldenhair shortly produced
the thing desired, and stood patiently
smiling while the woman in the
blouse fidgeted and turned and twist
ed before the mirror another ten
minutes, at the end of which time
she announced her positive convic-
ton that an allover lace bodice
would suit her style of beauty bet
ter.
Seven separate and distinct styles
of "allover' waists were tried, each
requiring a deliberation OF at least
five minutes. Madam did not ad-
mire herself sufficiently in any one
Of them to take it, and finally re-
quested to see something in china
silk with fine tucks.
Here is pretty little thing" sug-
gested Miss Goldenhair, standing
first on one foot and then on the
other, from sheer WEAKNESS, but still
speaking in honeyed accents.
Madam tried on the china silk, and
two chiffon taffetas, and a crepe de
chine or so, and finally expressed her
preference for blue crepe with white
trimmings.
Il don't know, though, but what
these white lines are unbecoming, /"
she discovered. Have you nothing
all blue, with elbow sleeves and a
surplice front?"
Miss Goldenhair checked a little
sigh, and sweetly said she would see,
and smilingly told three waiting
customers she would be through
soon, and finally found $40 surplice
blue crepe, with elbow sleeves, and
buttoned it on the woman and told
her she looked like an angel in it.
After which said woman walked
over to $1.9S bargain table and
picked up dinky little mussed
blouse of last years vintage, and
said she guessed she would just take
that, as she was in something of a
hurry.
And the saleswoman smiled weari-
ly, and had it charged and sent, and
babe her an amiable goodbye, after
which she looked at her watch and
found she had given exactly two hours
to the selling of that blouse.
That isn't all. Next morning the
woman came back. She had the
blouse. She didn't like it. She
wanted another.
you're so pleasant said she to
Miss Goldenhair Il want you to
wait on me again."
And Miss Goldenhair smothered a
sigh and went through exactly one
hours repetition of the previous
days performance, during the whole
of which time she never lost her tenn
per outwardly, nor frowned frown,
nor said shar word, but just
smiled sweetly and YEARLY and spoke
patiently, and attended upon Mad
ANS indecisions with unfailing cour
tesy.
And when Madam finally departed
with tailor-made linen waist I'M
der her arm, (having ultimately de-
cided on its superior durability, she
had the grace to look into Miss
Goldenhair's sweet, tired face, and
say, with sudden enlightenment:
I'm afraid I've been little try
ing. You must let me thank you
for your wonderful patience"
"Oh, no." said Miss Goldenhair,
pleasantly I'm glad you're pleased.
Good bye" But she didn't add,
Come in again."
Now doesn't she deserve a starry
crown? And wasn't she lady? And
wouldn't her gentleness and patien.
