Her Method.

Strange tales are told of the methods of the United States customs. A lady who had visited the Continent and done much shopping in London, on the way hoeie on the Atlantic made the acquaintance of a most delightful man, to whom she confided the story of her triumphant bargains. “But what about the customs?” asked her friend. “Can you dodge them?” “Oh!” said the lady, “I always do it in a way that can't be found out. For Instance, I roll up a glove iu each of my stockings. See?” The pleasant acquaintance saw, and the consequence of his seeing was that the lady’s stockings—as well as several other things—were carefully examined and surcharged when she reached New York. For that was the business of the pleasant acquaintance.
