Her Threat,

The little grass widow and the man
from the west had dined together sew
eral evenings at Balogh's, but the
handsome man at the other end of the
table never had looked at them once,
says the New York Press. No matter
how interesting they purposely made
their conversation he never batted an
eye, just sat there over his wine and
his paper.
Isn't he the handsome brute?"
whispered the little grass widow.

AS the young man entered, the old

''Well?' said the old man, shortly.

man, but the old man cut him off alb
ruptly.
I've noticed that you've been hang
ing around here a good deal" he said.
Il suppose that you've come to tell
me that you love her and want to
marry her?''
NO" replied the young man, calm
ly. I've come TO tell you that she
loves ME and wants to marry me-"

She says SO herself" persisted the
young man.
Il never heard of such an exhibition
Of egotistical impertinence," said the
old man.
Then you misunderstood me-" ex.

is dictated by policy and not by i'm.
pertinence. You see, it's just this way.

is it?"

Il might want $1,000, but that
wouldn't matter to you, would it?"
Certainly not"
You're under no obligations to sup.
ply me with what want, are you?"
Hardly"
Then what foolish proposition il
would be for me to come to you and
say: Mr.. Gotrocks, / have been very
favorabiy impressed with your house
and furniture or I think I'd like your
daughter or anything else in that
line. But when your daughter wants
anything it's different. Now, isn't it
different?"
1T certainly is different" admitted
the old man, cautiously.
Precisely" said the young man.
"She and l figured that all out very
carefully last night. You see, l have
no particular prospects, and we could
both see that there wasn't one chance
in a hundred that you would give her
to me. Then she suggested that you
had never yet refused anything that
she wanted, no matter what the cost
might be, and that perhaps it would
be a good plan to change the usual
order somewhat. We sort of felt that
1t wouldn't be right to ask you to do
anything for me, but it's different in
her case, as l remarked before. So
I'm here merely at as her agent to say
that she wants me, and that she wants
me very much. and to ask you to
please see that she gets me. She
never has wanted anything so much
IS she wants me. and l am so favor
ably disposed toward her that, If you
care to make the investment, l shall

SURELY POET KNEW
"sWEETLY UNREASONABLE" SAID
HE. OF THE GENTLE SEX.
A. Least TO the Shoe Clerk His Words
Are as Gospei-The Comedy
In Selection of her New
FootuesF.


When a woman has a new pair of
shoes sent home" said the cynical
salesman, she goes to work at EN-
very unlike a man under similar cir
cumstances.
She never shoves her toes into
them and yanks at 'em till she's red
In the face, nor after getting them on
at last does she go stamping around,
telling those shoes with great frank
ness what, her opinion is of 'em and
of herself for ever countenancing
EN-. No.
She pulls 'em carefully part way
on; twitches 'em off again to take an
other look at 'em to see whether she
has got the right shoe on the left foot
and left shoe on the right foot; pulls
'em all the way on; looks at 'em
dreamily; says they seem to fit so
well that she's afraid they'll get too
big by and by; takes another look
at 'em; twists 'em around to take
side view, gives little scream, and
eXclaims:
Oh my, there's wrinkle al
ready! Mercy, how loose they are!'
Then she looks at 'em again,
square in front; works the feet around
to find if she can't induce the shoes
not to hurt quite so much; takes the
shoes off, looks at the heels, the toes,
the soles, and the interior; puts 'em
on again; walks up and down the
room once or twice, and declares posi-
lively to her husband, sitting by:
They're horrid! l won't have
them at any price!'
Then she tilts down the looking
glass on the dresser so she can see
how they appear viewed from all the
positions the mirror will reflect 'em
to her, backs off, trips sidewise, steps
nearer, nearly dislocates her neck try
ing to see how they look from impos-
sible points of view, takes another
farewell glance at 'em from all posi-.
tons, sits down and says:
They make my feet look too horrid
for anything, and as if were wearing
at least threes and half! They never
will do in the world!'
"Then she takes 'em off, turns 'em
over, inspects them heel, toe, sole
and inside all over again, smooths out
wrinkle, pulls at the buttons and
says:
Every button on them will drop
off the first time 1 go out in them, !
know! And those heels! They look
almost ridiculously low enough to be
common sense heels. The idea!'
Then she draws 'em on again, takes
'em off, puts 'em on, looks 'em over
again in the mirror this, that and the
other way, takes 'em off and says:
John, dear, won't you give me
your idea about these shoes? You
have such excellent taste and judg-
ment in such things
Then if John is wise he will look
em over and say that they look to
him absurdly high as to heel, thin as
to sole and too tight around the in
step.
"'Oh, do you, dear?' she will say,
and thank him sweetly.
Then she will try 'em on again,
show them off before the mirror, sit
down, run her hand over 'em gently,
smile, ring for the maid and say to
her:
"'You may tell the messenger, Jane,
that l will keep the shoes
And everybody is satisfied. So
much better than a mans is the way
of woman with pair of new shoes"
