Two Classes of Customers Invariably Buv the Packard {JTThe first class are those who buy the instrument for daily companionship, for actual constant use. The musician whose judgment is of the tone of action, whose ear has been trained. The teacher Whose experience with many different pianos enables him to judge of the durability of a piano; with this class price doesnot determine the choice-it’s the last minor detail, fl The other class is the long headed, true business man the successful man who makes his selection by common sense reasoning that has guided him in all his affairs. He selects a Packard because he knows the price. He never invests his money in uncertain and unknown values-anything with, a mysterious secret price. Packard pianos have a standard fixed value, an advertised price. Everyone knows it-that makes the investment safe, fl Call and see them, fl Sold on easy terms.

The parents carefully abstain from appearing at the marriage ceremony, clinging to the idea that the bridegroom still rides away on a foaming steed with his bride behind him as in the good old days. The brides prefer the custom to the modern method of being given away at the altar in the orthodox fashion. Wanted th® Proof. “You look sweet enough to kiss,” says the impressed man. “So many gentlemen tell me that,” coyly answers the fair girl. “Ah! That should make you happy.” "But they merely say that,” she replies. “They merely tell me the facts in the case and never prove their statements.”

An American woman living In India, with native servants, once told her butler to see that there was always a nnpkin nt the bottom of the fruit dish, cake basket, etc., when these were brought to the table. The napkin was thereafter always seen in its place. But one day a tureen of vegetable soup was served, and the hostess began to wield the long, old fashioned silver ladle about In 'lt. Something very like a fringed rag made its appearance In the first plateful. The butler was summoned to re- I move the dish. “It cannot be that the mem sahib found no napkin at the bottom,” he hazarded, much distressed because of this unexplained disapproval. “for I myself placed ther® the | largest one I could find."
