We know that we will please you Yours for Business, R. STUBBS, 'My dear," I said to my wife, "next Tliuraday will be your birthday. Yon Icdow bow busy I am and how the fur nishing of gifts for members of the family distresses me. Bobby must have a blrthdtiy gift for you as well as me, and I must provide bis us well as mine. Will you pleuue relieve me of the responsibility by buying some thing for me to give you and some thing for Bobby to give you?" This was not displeasing to my wife. for she in a frugal womuu and would rather buy gifts for herself than that I should buy them for her, fearing thnt I would be too extravagant Irs the mutter. Besides, Bbe has for some lime provided the family gifts for birthdays and Christmas. However, there Is one feature of the matter that needs careful attention. Our boy, Bob by, aged ten. Is not taken into the secret. He Is supposed to ansume that I buy bis and my own gifts for his mother. Ou this anniversary, being very much engaged, utter throwing the burden on uiy wife's shoulders 1 did not even take the precaution to have the usual consultation with Bob as to what should procure for blin for his mother's hlrthdny. The day before the anniver sary came round I suddenly remember ed the mutter, reminded him of It and asked him what be would like to give, fie prefers to pay for his gifts out of his own money and, having an eye to business, suggested candy, well know ing that nine-tenths of It would go Into his own stomach. He gave me the money fur the purchase, and I straight way Informed his mother of his choice, telling her Just what kind of sweets he preferred for her, or, rather, for himself. My wife left a box containing my gift for ber lu my closet, and so busy was I thut I never thought to look nt It The afternoon before her birth day we walked out together, and dur ing the walk Bhe dropped In at u enndy store and. finding a better article than I tnh hud tmggfHtcd for Ions money, bought It, carefully Instructing mo as to the reasons 1 should give Bob for the chuttge from his order. Thnt evening I took Hob Into mv study, shut the door so that his mother muld not overhenr our conversation iind showed him the candy, explaining :it the same time why the change had (icon made. Unfortunately I told him double the price paid, lie beard me through then wild: "Tapu, I didn't suppose you would allow any one to make such a guy of you.' "What do you mean?" I asked, quite j taken aback. j To charge yon BO cents for half a pound of candy.' Not being able to explain the matter, I tried to get out of It by directing his attention elsewhere, so I took the box containing my own present for bis mot tier from the closet and begau to open it Now, tt suddenly occurred to me that I was Ignorant of the contents of that box. While unwrapping it Bob asked me several times what It was. "You shall see," 1 said. But the Im- ' patient Bob did not see, for there was a kuot in the string that bound tt which I found It dllticult to untie, so 1 kept repeating, "You sholl see, my hoy, what It Is If you will only be patient" When I got the cover ofT I discovered that the girt bad been packed In ex I celstor, and I was obliged to hunt for It. This caused more delay, during which Bob continued to nsk "What is It V" and I to reply "You shall see." But I was cornered after all. for when I produced a little round glass recep tacle profusely gilded, with a bole In the cover, I didn't know what It was. "What Is It, papa?" again Bob que ried, this time with a new meaning, for be bad never seen one of the kind before any more than I had. Here was a pretty predicament 1 had bought a present for mother with out knowing to what use it was to be put. That was a dead giveaway. I looked it over, turned It upside down and took off the lid. but for tho life of me I could not make out for what It was Intended. Finally 1 hazarded: "Why. dou't you know what that Is, Bob? Why, It's a a thing a lody puts on her bureau to bold itowder, and that hole In tho top (a for the handle of the thing she puin the stuff on her face with. The haudle sticks out through the bole. ' Having said this 1 directed Bob's at tention again to his own present and he asked mo If It would be allowable for him to take Just one. Having staggered through the matter . with Bcb and come out whole by the . ktn of my teeth, 1 went to bis mother : tml wild: j "l or henven's sakel Why didn't yon ! te(f me what was the gift you bad ! bought for me to give you and what It ; wa for?" "I did, but yon forgot" "What Is the thing anyway? I told Mob It was for face powder." "It' a hair receiver." "Wluit's a balr receiver? "It's to put the hntrs In that come out of a woman's bead when she combs her bnlr." -l.H they go In at the bole In the top?" , "Of course. "WpII, we've escanetl this time, bin dnt ym ever buy any more prtmems for yourself or any one eUe without telling the giver beforehaud what they sre and whut for. r '"Ullo. Billy! Where vou golu'?"
