FAIRY TALES OF SALES.

(From Home Chat.) Once upon a time a shop assistan said: “Good morning, madam, wha can I show you?” on the first day o a sale. “I beg your pardon,” said the wo man shopper politely, as she reliquish ed her hold upon the biggest bargaii of the day, “I had no idea that yoi wanted it as well.” “That’s quite all right,” answere< the other woman shopper, “I’m no really keen. You have it, my dear!” “Here you are, Mary,” said Mr Jones cheerfully as he handed fiv< treasury notes to his wife. “I knov you’ll want to get something at th< *»les.” . « Once upon a time a sale enthusiasl emerged from a shop looking as spruce as when she went in. There was once a woman whc bought something that she really wanted at a sale! “Sales?” cried the wife' of the judge. “What are sales?” “It’s too cheap,” said the woman shopper, “I couldn’t think of robbing the proprietor by taking it at that price!” Once upon a time a husband asked permission to go to the sale with his wife! “I love sale-time,” said the shopassistant, “it’s so exhilarating!” Once upon a time a lady wanted a packet of pins and went into the next town in an attempt to get them at sale price.
