Show NICE, BUT MOT IN HIS LINE Exhibition of "Mantles" Most Pleasurable, Pleas-urable, Only Young Man Had Other Business to Attend To. "I've come to see about the mantles, miss." "O, yes, I'm glad yon have come so soon; will you step into the drawing room?" The young man stepped; he was pleased with his pleasant reception. After awhile ma came in and said: "How do?" So sorry to trouble him, but would he mind if they tried the mantles on? Her daughter's was a trifle too full, and her own a trifle too long, she thought. Perhaps he would be good enough to see. The young man said he would be only too delighted. . The two elegant mantles in the latest lat-est style which were lying across the back of the sofa were then donned, and the young man said he thought they looked charming. Yes. perhaps a little alteration was required, but if they would excuse him he would be glad if they would let him get on with his work and show him the gas-burners that were requiring fresh mantles. Why! Wasn't he from Jiggins & Jigginses? O, no! He was the young man that attended to the mantles from the gas company! Rehoboth Sunday Herald. |
