'the cuBtomer from a remole coun
try town was having a cnat with the
manager of a great warehouse, when
he noticed a handy little telephone.
Yea. it is very useful.” said the
manager "We can switch ourselves on
to any department. Try it ”
The country visitor put the little
handle round to the Backing room
number, and then asked, referring to
him,elf; «• *u

(Copyright, 1915, International News
Service.)
H ELEN sat with a little account
book befpre her, a pencil in her
mouth and a forehead much
wrinkled In an effort to balance prop
erly. The monthly accounts were al
ways a hardship to Heleo, w*ho hated
figures, but she had determined to
manage as economically as possible
and tolled faithfully with her book
every time the bills came In.
She had the month’s grocery bill be
fore her. It seemed almost impossible
that with such a dmail family .«o many
things were necessary. When had
they eaten all that fruit, and surely
they had never eaten canned lobster.
Helen thought faithfully, but could
not recall any time fhat she had pur
chased canned lobster
For one thing. Warren did not ap
prove of canned meats or fish, and,
besides, as ahe scannfd the bill she
discovered that there wtere more items
of the same kind. Several cans of
lobster, sardines, and some expensive
cheese.
Nora had gone out and had taken
Winifred. Helen was beginning to
worry about Winifred. She had look
ed pale for several days, and Helen
dreaded the hot weather. She won
dered If Warren would approve of her
taking Winifred away somewhere for
the summer She would be perfectly
satisfied if they could go anywhere,
just so long as it was cool and com
fortable. Last year she had gone
away with Warren on his vacation,
but the two weeks were all that she
had taken. Winifred had not been
with them, and this year it w r a* dif
ferent.
Helen tried to decide whether to
wait till Nora came in, or to go out
to the sfore immediately to see —
was the trouble. She finally decided
to interview the Italian who kept
the fruit and vegetable place near
w'here she lived. She knew well the
uselessness of trying to economize by
trying a cheaper plaqfe to trade. Once
last year they had changed places,
and had at Warren’s suggestion car
ried home parcels to s^ve a few nen-
nie». She had discovered that it did
not pay. Most of the stores where
the price was lees bad fever oppor
tunities to deliver, and it was a nuis
ance.
The streets seemed hot and the chil
dren more prolific than ever. Helen
felt a little uncomfortable as she no
ticed several people look at her close
ly. She had gone out without a coat,
thinking It too .hot to bother with
one, and ae her dresa was charming
it made her look more conspicuous
than she wished
She reached the store at last. and.
bill in hand, waited for some one to
come up and ask what she wanted.
The store was 1 cool and permeated
with the odor of fresh green vege
tables and fruit. Vaguely Helen re
membered the wharf at Colon and the
smell of bananas and grain. She
would never smell bananas again
without thinking of that morning’they
landed In the tropics. Some one came
up to her at that moment and asked
what she wanted, and Helen proffer
ed her bill and asked what the items
meant:.
“T am sure I never bought them.”
she said-, following the m%n to the
desk, w here he produced his book and
proceeded to look up the contested
items.
Helen had traded there for some
time, and the man was (obsequious* and
evidently ready to rectify any mis
take.
‘‘You did not send anyone else to
the store, did .f-ou Mrs. Curtis?” he
said. ‘‘This first item is plainly mark
ed in the book. Look for yourself.”
Helen satisfied herself that the man
was speaking the truth. She had had
a lurking feeling when she had come
out that something was not quite
right. It did not seem likely that so
many mistakes would be made, and
yet who could have bought the arti
cles?
Helen was plainly puzzled, and de
cided to telephone home. Perhaps
Nora had come in and would know*
about it. Sfle stepped over to the
telephone and a moment later had
Nora on the wire.
“Nora, I am down at the fruit store.
Do you know anything about any
lobster charged on the bill? Or sar
dines?”
Nora denied ary knowledge, a*
Helen was mire she would She would
have suspected herself sooner than
Nora
‘ There must be some mistake.' said
Helen positively. “My maid did not
purchase them, and 1 am sure I did
not.”
The man had discovered the other
articles, plainly marked, and seemed
a little uncertain as to how to pro
ceed. "I’ll let it go for a day or so,”
said Helen, finally. “You will surely
find out the mistake, and you can let
me know.' She had felt like adding
something about carelessness, but de
cided not to, in case she was to blame
in any way.
At home she questioned Nora close
ly, showing her the bill, and the two
tried to think out a possible solution
to the puzzle. Altogether the bill
came to over three dollars for the
things that Helen was sure ,«»he had
not bought. It was too much to pay
for principle's sake. If nothing else,
When she was sure that she had never
bought them.
Warren's key in the latch came In
the midst of the discussion, and Hplen
fiew out to meet him. Nora called
her the next moment, and she left
him to hurry to the telephone.
“Oh, you did? Well, I was sure you
would. Yes, of course, the two names
are alike All right, fix up the bill
and send it in again Please be care
ful next time.”
Well that was over, at least.
‘ Ves, dear, the bill at the fruit
store,' she said in response to War
ren's in quiry. "Lobster and things
on the bill that I never bought.”
“You’d never have any Trouble like
that if you would stop this infernal
charging," said Warren unsympathet
ically. “Some day you’ll wake u to
the fact that I was right, but 1 won't j
get any credit for it.”
Laundry Bill Explained.
In Western Canada, Chinese laun
dries abound, and many of the
“Chinks” are characters in their way.
The washing bill is a mysterious doc
ument and is mysteriously rendered.
“John'' creep snoiselessiy up to your
bedroom arvd makes an uncanny sound.
His unfathomable yellow face is before
you, and his tin-kettle, peculiar voice
then explains In pigeon English what
he wants
His bill is an oddity. A young so
ciety lady of majestic appearance is
said to have expressed much curios
ity on one occasion to. have the hiero
glyphics on her laundry bill rendered
into English—the address, that is. not
the articles.
She was not pleased when the ex
pert of the tea party explained the
reading as:
“Big long woman, top hill.”
This to “John” was of more mean
ing than her name.
Hints for the
Household
To Cleanse White Paint—Boil two or
three otfions In the usual way very thor
oughly. then use the water to clean
the paint without soap. All the dirt will
disappear, leaving the paint white and
glossy.
« « •
To Clean the Street Doormats—Place
in a bath of soapy water, scrub well
with a hard scrubbing brush, then rinse
well In cold water, and stand on Its
side to dry. It will look like new.
• • *
To Remove Ink Stains—From wash-
ing materials, squeeze a little tomato i
Juice on the stain, and leave for a few
minutes before washing. The stain will
disappear easily.
• * *
When Making Oojtmeal— Place the oat
meal in cold water and bring slowly to
the boll. This gives a better flavor than
when made with boiling water.
* * *
Beetles will depart like magic tf
ground borax mixed with brown sugar
Ts laid about the hearth or other
haunts.
