CUPID NOT IN THIS DEAL
One Case Of courtshlp That Was Con
Quoted Along the Strietest OF
Business Lines.

Everything was strictly business
with August Rinnick. A sign on his
desk said: "This is my busy day." and
a sign above his desk said: "There are
q quarter of million words in the
English language. Be BRIEF"
He regarded his office force merely
as machines Of varying degrees of eff.
hciency, and 1t was therefore several
months before he realized the luscious
physiognomy and many virtues of Miss
Perch, his stenographer.
But, with August Rinnick. to think
was to act, and, the very afternoon on
which he finally realized he summoned
Miss Perch into his office.
Miss PERCH" he said. stake q let.
ter"
And he dictated as follows:
my dear Miss Perch: 1t has lately
come to my attention that you are a
young woman of exceptional facial EN-.
belllshments, mental endowment and
moral efficiency. The limited time at
my command will not permit me many
details, but may mention that since
you have been in my employ have
never yet seen you masticating chicle
commonly known as gum-or apply
Ing powder to your nose Gan organ
whose extreme delicacy of contour and
pleasing abbreviation much impressed
mel. In short, my dear Miss Perch, the
Idea has come to me to endeavOr to in
duce you to have your surname legally
changed to Rinnick-in brief, to be-
come my wife. I will cheerfully give
you day to think this matter over,
and shall be pleased to hear from you
at your leisure. Very truly, A. Rinnick." )"
In the next days mail he received
the following reply: "Mr. August Rim.
