FOUND OUT.
A j oung lady visited a jeweller and told him that her father was going to buy her a pair of diamond earrings, and that she would like to look at some. The jeweller, knowing her father by reputation, spread out a number of costly gems before her. She looked them over critically, and having selected the most handsome pair asked if she might take them home and examine them at her leisure. The permission was promptly accorded, and next day the young lady 'brought back the earrings, and said she was not quite satisfied with them, and she thought that after all it might be borne time before her father would indulge her taste for diamonds. « ' That's a great pity," replied the jeweller; "I was at reception last night, and 1 thought them very becoming to you."
