To-day’s Complete Short Story.
UT^OM was terribly annoyed.”
j said the young woman with
the fluffy hair. “It is perfecl-
) ly funny the waf a man acts just
because he is your husband—did you
i ever notice It?”
“It Is indeed,” said the others In
chorus.
“How was 1 to know that sensible
business men would take me so se
riously?” pursued the fluffy young
woman. “I thought they were sup
posed to have discernment and sense
Tom is always preaching about thetr
superiority In that respect. 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 tha
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
j me get in it and explained just how
I could run it myself and wanted
my address to send 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
j to hurt his feelings, so I did not re
fuse.
"It was jpst the same way at the ,
next place and ever after. Tom and
his friends were so busy over horrid
I old machinery that I was consider,,
bly left out. 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 eeent
I a bit fair to the others to refuse any
of them, so I said I’d be delighted.
It had occurred to me that I owed a
i terrible lot of calls, and that It wot^ld
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 oataloguea
was coming to our house and it was
a wonder where those fellows got peo
ple’s names and, anyhow, thank good
ness, he didn’t have a machine eat
ing its head oft 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 ride
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.
”1 did two teas one afternoon in the
Largo car, but the man lost his tern- ,
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^or 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!
He said he thought I was giving a
funeral or a tea.
“When he understood—my dears,
have you ever seen a man suffering
from bad temper and grip simulta
neously?
"I explained to him most carefully
that it wasn't my fault at all, but ln-
roared that he was ashamed to look
a man in the face from that time on
for fear he was one of the automobile
agents I had shamefully deceived-^-
yes. that’s what he called it—and that
he’d like to know what women had in
place of consciences, anyway. What
do you think of that? Aren’t men
utterly queer?"
"They surely are!" the other young
married woman agreed. “When yob
hadn't done one single thing, either!"
Where the Shoes Pinched.
"Boots and shoes repaired neatly while
you wait.’’ So said a notice In the win
dow. A small boy entered the shop and
dumped a pair of patent 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.” pipe*
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 themi”
