GIRL MATCHED THE RIBBON

Little Tot Induces Gentleman With Remarkably Red Nose to Aid Her in Selecting Color. A certain gentleman in Birmingham is the possessor of a remarkably red nose. He was in the town one day, and, having completed his business, was amusing himself by an inspection of the shop windows. Whilst admiring some ties in a certain window and considering whether he should speculate or not, a little girl rame out of the establishment, looked up at him, hesitated a moment, and finally caught him by the sleeve. “Please, will you come into the shop with me, only for a minute?” she asked. ‘Certainly,” answered the gentleman, following her at once. Arrived at the counter, the little one astonished everyone by remarking: “There, miss, muvver wants the ribbon the same color as this gentleman’s nose." —London Tit-Bits.
