Where Woman Isn't Appericated

His wífe wa.s witJh hini, and it took tlie clerk two hours to sell him a suit of clothes, durimg which time lie tried cto half a dozen suite and overhauled a dozen more. It was only a $15 suit at that, and when the man and Ixiis wiie had departed the clerk goi himself excused for ten minutes, and went out and llew in iifteen cents out ■af his small salary oq a Manhattan cocktail. AVhen he got Ixick he was ieeling better, but there was Btili trouble enoug'n on his mind, and out o the kindness of my Tieart I gave foim an opporetunity to vent his feelings. "I would have eold that man a suit of clothes inside of ten minutes If It hadn't been tor his wife," he said, "and it wouldn't have been a $15 suit either. The floor manager Slias got agrudge against me; he always calis on me lbo serve a man when there is a woman along witlj him. If thte thing goes on I'll throw up my jol. Harder to Bell to a man when he has his wife .or sister or sweetheart with him ? Why, there isn't any comparison. The womaa on the assumption that the man is au idiot amd doesn't know wïiat he wants a nyhow, and that we are trying to swindle him. And the worst of it is jou've got to pretend tö be amïable, or öhe complains, and then yon get ftned or fired.
