seen it., replied the male shopper. Do you suppose she'd like some other color. better?"
 You see," pointed out the kind wonl- an in considerate. half-sympathetic tones, "that particular shade of blue doesn't go with any other color. Now, if l were receiving a shirtwaist for Christmas I should want white waist. Of course your wife may have ex- pressed a preference for some other color. No? Well, now you understand it's none of my affair-and this is cer- tainly rather informal, me helping you to select something for your wife, ing of not even knowing your name but I should think any woman would be delighted with something like this one, for instance" And she reached over to pick up one with lot of lace and mosquito netting on the front of it.
 The male person inquired the price. It was $4 more than the blue one he had selected, but he said he would take it, and no questions asked.
 Send it out to number so-and-so Such-and-such street, and-eh that won't do. It might be delivered when she was at home and that would queer the whole thing. Better send it to my office. Thomas J. Wingett is the name, in the Pretentious building. I'd carry it, but I've got lot of stops to make"
 "Wingett," repeated the woman after hearing his name; there's Mrs Wingett in our card club. You don't happen to be Mrs. Alice Wingett's hus- band, do you?'
 "I sure am,' grinned the man. She's the girl that's going to get that shirtwaist off the pine tree next Mon day"
 "Well, of all things" gasped the kindly disposed woman. q don't know Alice Wingett so very well, but I've met her at the club, and it does seem funny that should be helping her hus- band to pick out Christmas present for her. My name is Cummins. I don't suppose you know my husband. He travels most of the time"
 Seems to me I've heard Alice speak of Mrs. Cummins,' says Wingett. "Er by the way, mebby you'd better not say anything to Alice when you see her about-about how informally we were introduced. She might think 1t funny. Like as not she'd think I'd been walking up and down the aisle staring at folks.'
 q have notion to tell her what you just said" gurgled Mrs. Cum mins. T guess I won't though. Seems to me the joke would be partly on me. We'll, hope Alice likes the shirt waist"
 If she doesn't she hasn't good taste," grinned Wingett. 'I certainly am obliged to you. If you can't make up your mind what to get your hus- band, let me know, and mebby I can help you out"
 And he bowed gracefully as his new acquaintance gathered up her pack ages and tripped on her way.

DEATH OF MISS
CLARA PELGEN
Life Long Resident Of keokuk Passed
Away At Hospital Early This
Morning After an
Operation.
WAS BORN IN KEoKUK
Active Members Of st. Mary's catho-
lie Church and Rosary Society
Leaves Three Sisters
and Ono Brother.

Miss Clara Josephine Pelgen, 1913
Timea street, daughter of the late
Louis and Margaret Pelgen, and a
lifelong resident Of Keokuk, died at
st. Joseph's hospital at SIS o'clock
this morning, following an operation
last Monday. She was taken to the
hospital on Sunday evening and her
condition was not believed to be
serious, which makes the blow all
the harder to those friends and rela-
tives who are now mourning her loss.
Miss Pelgen was born and reared
here and was we'll known throughout
the city. She was a devout member
Of st. Marys Catholic church and al
SO of the Rosary society, and was al
ways interested in church work. She
was unselfish and kind-hearted and
always happiest when she could do
something for others. Those closest
to her will always remember her as
a woman of q singularly attractive
character and all will deeply regret
her death.
The survivors are brother, Leon
ard Pelgen, and two sisters, Jose
phine and Eda Pelgen of this city,
and a third sister, Mrs. William F..
Grady OF South Haven, Mich. They
were all at the bedside when the end
came. Her mother. Mrs. Margaret
Pelgen, died nine months ago.
