Everyone argued as to ' who would attend maclame, when the of the store approachod her and "said: "Good morning, you old snag—what are you nosing about at this hour of the morning for? instead of the usual smile from madame, she replied: "Who do you think you are talking to?"

It appears that the woman, while on hohdav, had had treatment for her deafness, which was undoubtedly successful. Premier Drapery Co. Ltd. PALMERSTON NORTH.
