Made the Sale.

"Let me see some of your black kid gloves," said a lady to a shop assistant. "These_are not the latest style, are they?’ she asked when the gloves were produced. “Yes, madam,” replied the shopman, “we have had them in stock only two days.” “I didn't think they were because the fashion paper says black kids have tan stitches and vice versa. I see the tan stitches, but not the vice versa.” \ The shopman explained that vice versa was French for seven buttons, so she bought three pairs.
