It was Monday morning in the large drapery fctorc, and the assistants were feelZing rather livery, when there arrived one of the local "snags"—a very deaf old woman, who had been away on holiday. 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?" The assistant nearly fainted ' with fright, and promptly went to the staff-room to don outdoor clothes, not wishing to face the chief, knowing full well that discharge would surely follow. It appears that the woman, while on hohdav, had had treatment for her deafness, which was undoubtedly successful. Premier Drapery Co. Ltd. PALMERSTON NORTH.
