Life's Verities From AScribe's s Notebook
By F. F. D.

Everybody at the agency likes Charley. He's Q friend- ly soul, not over burdened with brains or ambition, but he has a cheerful outlook on life, in spite of adverse cir cumstances, that Is hearten. ing. He's just the type of whom 1t is often said, ''he'd give you the shirt on his back" Only nobody would want Charley's shirt.
 A sudden change in Char. ley's usually happy demeanor recently caused his friends at the agency some concern. His cheerful grin was con- spicuous by its absence and he exuded about as much Opti- Inism as Marlcy's ghost. It developed that Charley was in love.
 The object of Charley's af- fectlons, while not altogether indifferent, had dccreed. that Charley get himself some new duds or else. And he didn't see how he was going to make 1t on the limited sti- pend he drew weekly for his work.
 After putting their heads to- gether for the greater part of a week, his friends had things all figured out. They got Charley a nice looking blue suit, never mind how or where and bright and early Saturday morning they presented 1t to him as a sur- prise. Charley displayed the proper amount of gratitude and took the suit home.
 But he was back Monday morning with the same dis consOlate look, and the suit under one arm. 4....s'
 Tt was awfully nice of you fOlks," Charley said, "and I don't want you to think don't appreciate 1t. ." he pansed dOubtfully.
 "Well?" somebody said.
 "Well," said Charley, "dO you suppose you could take it back where you got it and get . me brown one? My girl says brown goes better on guy with my cOloring."
