T he anything I can do for you to-day, my dear?’’ asked Mr. Blithers, ‘‘I shall have about an hour to spare, and’’—— “Why, yes, John,’’ said Mrs, Blithers. “T wish you'd stop in at the cleaners’ and ask why they don’t hurry up and send home my white flannel suit I left there over a month ago to be cleaned; and while you are about it, you might step into Mulligatawney’s and get me three dozen Japanese paper doilies and ahalf dozen yards of plain white ruch- ing, about an inch in width; and then take the third elevator on the right and “ys THERE in town TRAGI COMEDY Dutch comedian—* Chorus—" Did you have a long run ?”” Dutch comedian —" About three miles."” I played Hamlet once."” ALL-EMBRACING VANITY. The new girl prepares to answer the ‘phone. W go up to the hardware department on the third floor and ask the blond-haired girl there if she succeeded in getting those new earthenware frying pans I ordered last month, and, if she has, why she has not sent them. I wish, too, you’d go down to that little brass store, on the corner of Canal Street and Steenth Avenue, and see if they’ve got any more of those little jardinieres they were sell- ing last season at a dollar-ten, and bring three of them home with you. Two blocks down the street, on the left-hand side, you'll find a seed store, and it would be nice if you'd go in there and get me two packages of mi- gnonette, five ancylopsis dip- syii, six potted geraniums to put into the windows, and bring me home fifty feet of garden hose, a grass rake and a lawn mower. You might also price a few lawn rollers—we need one badly. Then, as you come ap Broad- way, you can’t miss Jurkin’s fancy-work store, and it would help keep Annabelle and me busy this autumn if you get us five or six sofa- cushion patterns, preferably in roses or sunflowers, with silk floss enough to work them, in the proper colors— the girl behind the embroid- ery counter will pick them out for you; but be sure to tell her that, inasmuch as they are to be for a quiet room, we don’t want the colors too vivid. You can get roe a s acouple of extra embroidery hoops to stretch them on, and, say, two papers of needles. Our dry groceries are giv- ing out, too, so you might drop into Binks Brothers and tell them to repeat our last order, and add to it six bottles of fresh olives, six tins of potted chicken for sandwiches, two bottles of oil, a large box of soda crackers and a Vir- ginia ham. Now, let’s see if there's anything else. Oh, yes! I wish you'd go to Jimpson & Waterbury’s, the deco- rators, and get a half-dozen samples of wall paper, suitable for the spare room. in either baby or Alice blue, I don’t care which, and ask them to cut you off afew samples of frieze paper, in trailing roses or violets, to go with them. Then here are two pieces of madras for curtains— I wish you’d go to Jiggers’s and get wea SIZE DOESN'T MATTER. Aunt—" Ob, dearie! why are you crying?!” ‘Mollie—"* Boo-hoo!
