What She Wanted,

The clerk with the waxed mustache, and bangs listened rather impatiently while the little woman explained what she wanted, says the Baltimore Herald. “Yes, yes,” he said at last, “I understand,” He took down a roll of doth and added, “Here’s just the thing.” “But I said ” she began. “I know,” he interrupted. “You want the cloth for a wrapper, hnd this is something extra fine.” “Oh! Is it?" said the little woman. “Yes, it’s all the rage,” he returned, as he unrolled the cloth. It’s just what you want, and it’s cheap, too.” “Really?” “Oh, yes. It matches your complexioft, and nothing could be better for a wrapper.” “And you’re sure I want it for a wrapper?” “Why, I suppose, of course ” “And you’re quite certain that this is the piece of goods I she interrupted. “Really, I’m usually so accurate in my judgment that I can hardly believe ” “Can you think of anything eke that I want?” she asked. “No, madam,” he replied, with some nervousness, “I confess that I can’t. “Let me tell you, then,” she said, eying him sharply over the counter, “I want a clerk who will let me know a IJHIe something about what I want myself. Will yon kindly ask the young woman at the next counter to come anfi wait on me?” He did so, and she purchased material for a teagown.
