Trust in Me
A number of Wanganui ladies are beginning to wonder if they have been “bad.” Some time ago a quietlyspoken little woman of homely appearance called at different houses in the city and said she represented a stocking firm (says-the “New Zealand Herald”). She exhibited samples of women’s hosiery, and collected deposits, promising to return with the stockings selected in less than a fortnight, when the balance of the money could be paid. The canvasser left the address of her headquarters in the city, but when, after three weeks had elapsed and the woman and the stockings had not put in an appearance, she could not bo found. The “office” has been besoiged with women, who find that, if the bird has not flown altogether, the cage -has been deserted for the timo being, and there is nothing to indicate that she will return.
