It was Monday morning in the large drapery store, and the assistants were feeling 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 madame, when the “wag” of the store approached licr 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 promptl.v 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 woman, while on holiday, had had treatment for her deafness, which was undoubtedly successful. Premier Drapery Co. Ltd. PALMERSTON NORTH.
