An Easy Fit.

A number of years ago there lived
in northern New Hampshire a notor-
GUS woman-hater. 1t was before the
day of ready-made clothing, and want
ing new suit, he was obliged to take
the material to the village tailoress.
She took his measurements, and when
she cut the coat, made a liberal al
lowance on each seam.
The mans dislike of women in gen.
eral prevented his having a fitting.
He took the finished garment without
trying 1t on. 1t was much too large,
and his disgust was apparent in the
answer he made to the friendly loafer
on his first visit to the post office,
when he wore the despised article.
Got new coat, Obed?" said the
loafer.
