A Compliment

A Fifth avenue photographer is telling the story of an incident which amused him, although it involved a compliment which he missed. A woman came into the building and asked if the best photographer in the city had a studio there, “with a hairdresser’s establishment under it.” “You are in the right place, madam,” returned the elevator man, who was questioned, “for this is the best photographer in the city, though there is no hairdresser in the building.” The woman rose with a sigh: “I suppose I have made a mistake,” she said; T wanted the hairdresser.”—N.
