Admitted Him to Membership.
The proprietor of the shop told the new window trimmer that his salary would depend on his success in making women look in at the shop window. In an hour the sidewalk was so crowded that he could not get out.
" What in the world have you done ? " he asked.
" Hung a piece of black velvet just back of the window glass," said the trimmer.
" Why should all of those women crowd up to look at a piece of black velvet?" " It makes a mirrow."
The proprietor admitted that he could not pay such a man a suitable salary, so he took him into the firm.
