Tom ex plained to me very carefully before we went to the automobile show' last month that we couldn’t buy a car. He said he couldn’t afford It, consid ering my hat bills and his cigars and the notes coming due on the house we bought last year. I am sure I had it all perfectly clear in my mind, so I am positive I was not to blame. ‘‘But did you ever notice what per fectly fascinating young men they put in charge of the exhibition oars at an automobile show? ” “I should say I have noticed them,” said the brunette girl. A Very Nice Man. “And, anyhow, Tom had no busi ness to run across two college friends the minute we got Inside the show and pay so much attention to them that he couldn’t pay any attention to me! Those three would cluster to gether over a chassis with a lot of crazy machinery stuck on It and talk like mad. So I simply had to do something to kill time.” "Of course you did!” agreed ths others. "So when at the first booth a good looking man who saw me studying a touring car asked me If I was Inter ested I said I was. Then he was Just as nice as could be. He told me everything about the car and made me get In It and explained lust how I could run f xsyself and wanted my address to ^jnd me a catalogue. He said he’d be pleased to come out some day with the car and show me how It ran and give me a lesson. He was so set on coming that I hated to hurt his feelings, so I did not re fuse.

However, I made lots of friends among the agents. "All of them wanted to bring out their cars to demonstrate to me how superior they were and, as I had told one man he could come, it didn’t seem a bit fair to ths others to refuss any of them, so I said Pd be deligbtsd It had occurred to me that I owed a terrible lot of calls, and that It would be such a nice way to get around and pay them. "I didn't think It necessary to men tion the matter to Tom. He did re mark that a huge lot of catalogues was coming to our house and it was a wonder where those fellowe got peo ple’s names and, anyhow, thank good ness, he didn't have a machine eat ing its head off and making him poor. Men are so selfish. "The Zero automobile man came out the very day after the show closed and we had a beautiful rtfit. I made six calls. However, I quite changed my opinion of him, because when I came out of the last place he seemed actually cross and said things about waiting in cold weather. I don’t see how he expects to sell cars without showing a little consideration for customers. I told him I didn't think I liked his car at all. “Then there was the Largo car man and the Allegro man and the Fortis simo man and the Solendiferous man, and about six different electric com panies. and a lot more whose names I forget. When they came one at a time it was lovely. "I did two teas one afternoon in the Largo car, but the man lost his tem per, and when I came from the second tea the wretched creature had driven off and I had to go home on the street car! Very Queer. "The queer thing was that every one seemed so indignant when I re fused to give an order for a car and said things about my leading them on. The worst of it was that Tom came home ill with the grip one af ternoon Just as seven different cars arrived all at once to take me out I He said he thought I was giving a funeral or a tea.

A small boy entered the shop and dumped a pair of paten£ leathers on the counter. ‘‘Please, fahver wants 'em repaired,” he ventured timidly. ‘‘What’s he want done to them?” In quired the tradesman. ‘‘Wants ’em soled and ’’eeled,” piped the youngster; “also stretched.” ‘Stretched as well—eh? And where do they pinch him?” “They don’t pinch him.” replied the ingenuous son, “he pinched tfeem!”
