Il mean that have always, from

Merriwid Il remember one in partic-

preached the shop window where he
was displayed without palpitation Of
my maiden heart. He had real hair
eyelashes and mustache and l used to
wonder how much money it would
take to buy him. Even now l think
l might do worse. There are several
things to admire about tailors' dunn
mics, apart from their being decided
ly personable and exceedingly we'll
dressed. You always know where to
find them and they haven't any bad
habits"
II like to see man careful in his
attire" declared Aunt Jane.
II do, too,' agreed Mrs. Merriwid.
Heaven preserve me from sloppy
persons of either sex, but l think that
an hour or two of serious thought
on the subject in one day is about as
much as man can afford to give if
he has anything else to attend to,
and l expect any husband of mine to
pay little attention to me- Poor

Merriwid. II can't call to mind just
who they were at the present mo-
ment, but I've been told there are sew
