She Wanted It Badly.

In one of the Washington jewelry stores is a diamond breastpin valued at SI,OOO. A young woman whose love for ornaments Is much greater than her ability to buy them happened to be in this store when the pin was shown to a lady, who did not purchase it. Two or three times a week since then the'girl has gone to obtain a glimpse of the beautiful pin, until she finally made, up her mind that she tvould make an effort to own it, so the following colloquy took place, that I happened to hear: “How much is that pin?” “A thousand dollars.” “Well, I will take it if you will let me pay for it at $1 a week. I only make $2 a week. I buy everything else that way.” The astonished clerk told her that he would have to speak to the proprietor, who was out, and the girl promised to return.—Washington Star.
