Two young girls passed the display, and, quite naturally, cast admiring glances at the coats. “Three dollars and ninety-five cents for that coat,” said one. “Well, it looks like a pretty good coat for that money, but vou know it’s not genuine fur.” The girl did not go into the store to investigate.—Indianapolis News, Caution—“ What do you know about his past?’’ asked one girl. “Just enough to make me suspicious about his present,” replied the other, examining closely thediamond the young man had given her.— Philadel phia Record.

But I’m sure that I shall never, never be able to Jean the language!” “Why not?” asked her plain com- panion. c “Oh, I find it altogether too hard!” “How Jong have you been studying it?” “We began last night.”— New York Evening Sun.
