Ah Awkward Sign.

A spell ago a man started in the ready-made clothing business on Seventh street, and called his place a “Misfit parlor.” It was an odd' name and Suzzled people a good deal at first. ome thought it was a place where fits were cured, and a person subject to one would miss fits if he entered the parlor. When the assessor called there last spring he asked if Miss Fit was in. Another time a woman dropped in with her little girl and wanted to buy a suit for her. “We have suits for boys,” said the urbane proprietor, “but none for little girls.” Can’t you fit a Miss ?” asked the woman impatiently. “No, we cannot." “Then,” said the irate woman, why do you advertise miss fit? You had better take in your sign.”— Cincinnati Saturday Night.
