Then He Retired
He was persistent and he had a wonderful flow of saies talk (says the Timaru Po&'t). The soap he was hawking was the best on the market, 1 in fact, it had revolutionised the industry and made the housewife's task on washing day a sinecure. Never again would such an opportunity be presented of securing this wonderful hargain at bedrock prices. The housewife who formed the audience for this impassioned burst of oratory listened in grim silence, her occasional attempts to interpolate being drown- 1 ed in a fresh spate of words. Eventually the eloquent one finished his oration and then the housewife started, telling him of a recipe she had for ■ making soap, a recipe that was remarkahle for its cheapness and the efficacy of th'e product it produced. The man with the suit case heard her out, picked up his wares, and walked off in silence.
