A lady surrounded the bargain counter of one of the big retail i stores on Sixth avenue the other day and captured a fragment of china silk with which she wanted to make a screen To accomplish this required a degree of strategy I and physical exertion sufficient to equip a college eleven for active service on the gridiron. But she got there “I spent the whole afternoon,” said she to a friend, “and when I got home I figured the whole thing up. I could have bought the same stuff up stairs at the regular coun ter for 29 cents a yard, and I want ed only yards. Well, that mean little clerk sold me four yards for 35 cents —it was a remnant, you i know —so I found I had been trod den upon for about two hours and squeezed black and blue and had Jost just 3 cents by the operation.

While he was making out my rebate check an other lady glanced at the silk 1 hud just Is id down. “That’s real pretty,” said she. “How many yards? ’ “Four, ma’am,” says he. “How much?’ “Forty cents,” says he, with the most unblushing face. It’s the last piece of that shade in the I house,” says he. “I’ll take it,” says she, pulling out her purse just as he gave me my ticket for the return of that identical piece.

In the old-fashioned English novels a very fascinating episode to the sentimental young woman reader was always that charming time, at or near midnight, when the lovely girl-guest was described as climbing the long stairs with her bedroom candlestick in her hand, casting witching glances back at the adoring man in the hall below. Real English bedroom candle sticks are now to be had in all the art shops: they are of Japanned tin, in shape like a deep saucer or shallow bowl, with a liittle china cup to hold the candle, and they have a large ring for a handle.

Calling Smith. Miss Kate Field relates an ex perience which she had in trying to sleep in a hotel in a Utah min ing town where the partitions be tween the rooms were of boards merely and quite innocent of lath and plaster. The ordinary going and coming of the early part of the night were bad enough, but toward morning, when at last she had fal len asleep, a loud voice shouted from her keyhole: “Smith! Smith!” As her name was not Smith, she made no response. “Smith 1 ” came the shout again. “It’s time to skip ! ” “My name is not Smith,” she then answered. From across the hall came the call of the day clerk, who occupied the room there. “No. That ain’t Smith, Smith’s at the end of the hall. “Well, this is the end of the hall,” came from the neighbor hood of the keyhole again. It was the voice of the porter. “Aren’t there two ends to the hall? It’s the other end, you block head “Who wants Smith?” came a sharp voice from the distance. ,‘l’m Smith.” “What’s the matter? I’m Smith,” came still another voice. “Well, whichever Smith warns to get up at 4 o’clock, him’s the one,” growled the porter. Both these Smiths slammed their doors with a vehement pro testation that they didn’t want to get up. “It’s Smith in No, 1! ” scream ed the day clerk. The right Smith had not been waked at all, so the porter found No. 1 and pounded on the door so hard that every-body in the house who had not already been waked was arous' d, and several people rushed out into the hall, thinking there was a fire. The porter went down complac ency to the office on the floor be low. Well,” said he to the night clerk, “I waked him up anyhow.” Weekly Excursions to California.
