The Three Philosophers.

For the first time in their lives
three genuine, simon-pure philos-
ophers went out riding in motor car.
After they had ridden about twenty
miles out in the country the car broke
down. Said the first philosopher: 81

there where food can doubtless be OBJ
tanned in sufficient quantities." Said
the third philosopher: II have long
wanted to be in a situation where,
without moving, sustenance would be
brought to me by one friend, while
the other discoursed on the beauties

THIS DEALER HAD REAL TACT
Mirrors in Wearing Apparel
Establishment.

A dealer in wearing apparel, noticing
that his stout customers and his very
thin customers often were sensitive as
to their figures, installed two full
length mirrors of special design, says
Popular Mechanics magazine. One was
slightly concave and the other slightly
convex. When a stout customer tried
on a suit she was led to the concave
mirror for self-inspection, and was able
to see her figure as it would appear
with it's measurements reduced. When
a thin person came in to try on clothes
she was taken to the convex mirror,
where the opposite effect was pro-
duced.
