A Cautious Rejcinder.

An elegantly dressed woman asked to be shown some silk for gowns, and made the unfortunate clerk hand down and unfold piece after piece without coming to any decision. Finally she concluded Bhe would prefer some patterns that Bhe had first looked at, which involved the turning over of the entire pile, and at last asked: “Are you quite sure, sir, that this style is worn?” “It was, madam,” answered the clerk, “when you came in, but after the period that has elapsed I should not like to say for certain.”— Judge. A woman at Chester, Pa., calls her husband “Telephone” when he gets mad and won’t answer her.
