This Mere Man.

Yesterday afternoon in one of the
downtown department stores an exhi-
bition in the interest OF cotton was
going on. The women visitors under
stood that the exhibition model" was
alive and that the charming dress she
was exhibiting was of cotton.
But he did not know. To him the

and model, both beautiful, attracted
his admiration and critical inspection
When the model relaxed and smiled.
he started violently, blushed and fled
from the building. But he was
"game"-he returned to admit the
joke was on him and that his wife
and girls should be each treated to
a dress.
