"What will you please to buy?" asked mademoiselle, with an exquis- ite smile. "Oh," replied the young dandy, with a languishing look, 'what moat wish to buy is unhappily not for sale." "Tell me what you wish?" she re- sponded. "OM- no; I dare not deelcue ny 454311011." "Nevertheless let me know what you wish to buy," persistedhtheetair saleswoman. "Well, then, since you demand it, should like a ringlet of your glee - ser black hair.

Her audacious admirer was thun- derstruck with the demand, but dar- ed not demur, as by this time a group had collected and were listen- ing to the conversation.
