He was from the country, and stood helplessly before the haughty young lady clerk of the downtown store. “What do you want, pleaseV” the demanded, icily. He gulped down his embarrassment, for he was hopelessly young and shy and awkward, and aha waa a most superior looking creature. *1 want twelve yards of blue predominant,” he finally said. “What?” demanded ths startled clerk. “T-twelve yards of b-b-blus predominant,” bs stammered again. “I’m sure I don’t know what you mean,” said the clerk. Then, womanly kindness and intuition getting the better of her hauteur, the said: “Tell me just what It was your mother or your sister told you to bring.” He gave a sigh of relief and said: “They wanted some wash goods for my little sister’s dress. They said they were not so particular as to quality and color; Just so I got blue predominant Can’t I get it here?”—Memphis Scimitar.
