Her Little Game.

Mrs. Gall (in dry-goods store) —I wish, if you please, that you’d give-me samples of six or seven different patterns in surah silks and a few samples of colored velvet—a friend of mine would like them; and I’d like a sample of this green India silk. I want a dress of some kind, and a sample of this figured silk, too, please, and one of this pink satin. Thanks. I’ll decide soon about tne dress. Mrs. Gall (outside the store) —One-, two, three, five, eight, eleven, fifteen —nineteen perfectly lovely samples in all! Six or seven more as large as these will make a whole block for my new r crazy quilt. I’ll go around to Ribbon & Linnen’s and get them before I go home.— Drake's Magazine.
