An Easy Fit.

A number of years ago there lived in northern New Hampshire a notorious woman-hater. It was before the day of ready-made clothing, and wanting a new suit, he was obliged to take the material to the village tailoress. She took his measurements, and when she cut the coat, made a liberal allowance on each seam. The man’s dislike of women in general prevented his having a fitting. He took the finished garment without trying it on. It was much too large, and his disgust was apparent in the answer he made to the friendly loaflr on his first visit to the postoffice, when he wore the despised article. “Got a new coat, Obed?” said the loafer. “No, I hain’t!” said Obed. ’Tve got seven yards of cloth wropped round me.”—Youth’s Companion.
