Catches the Men, Too.

The proprietor of a Fifth street house yesterday told the new clerk to try his hand at window dressing. “I want you to fix that window up so that every woman on the street will look into it,” he observed. The clerk was one of those clever little fellows that you read about in the city papers. He went at it. He made a curtain of solid black velvet and suspended it from the tbp of the plate glass close to the inner surface. “What on earth are you doing?” cried the senior member, happening to come along that way. “Making a mirror of the window,” complacently answered the clerk, as he shook out a fold very carefully. “If the women won’t look at that then I’ll miss my guess.” The clerk drew $3 more in his envelope at closing time.—Cincinnati Tribune.
