In a Song Shop.
"The misunderstandings, that ' sometimes teiise in a shop where songs are sold are often very amxsing. The man who went *ia to ask if they had "Moses in Egypt," «nd received the reply, "No"; we have •* Ehren on the Rhine,' " does not stand »lone.
Imagine the feelings of a young man behind the counter when a beautiful young girl with dancing eyes leans over the coun- • ter and says, "I want 'One sweet kiss before we part.' " This actually happened on one occasion. And the young man, keeping his head, wrapped up a copy of ft ~l love you, oh, I love you!". for thd girl, so that', on finding- out her mistake when she' got home, sho would come back' again. , How it ended only the two" concerned could tell.

"Yes, one more song. -love? r "
