That's the kind of man I am." "All right, Abe," Leon said. "Don't spring it on me too sudden, though." "Well," Abe continued, "it's this way." He gave one last puff at his cigar. "Leon," he said, "how much will you take for Louis Grossman?" "Take!" Leon shouted. "Take! Why, Abe " He stopped suddenly, and, recovering his composure just in the nick of time, remained silent.

"I bet yer they sell like hot cakes." Abe's prophecy more than justified itself, and in ten days they were completely swamped with orders. Abe and Morris went around wearing smiles that only relaxed when they remembered Louis Grossman and his hide-bound agreement, under which he drew five per cent. of the firm's profits and sixty dollars a week.

"Anyhow, Mawruss, we'll get some return from Louis Grossman," Abe said. "I advertised in the Daily Cloak and Suit Record yesterday them four styles of yours as the four best sellers of the season, originated by the creator of the Arverne Sacque. Ike Herzog was in the first thing this morning and bought two big lots of each one of the models. Ike's a great admirer of Louis Grossman, Mawruss.

Fred A. Line, the Rev. J. Wade Conkling, C. W. McClure, Dr. Frank Peck, E. L. Martin, ex-president Macon Chamber of Commerce; S. B. Marks and L. Marquardt, ex-presidents of the State Federation of Labor. Mr. Grossman toured the State on behalf of woman suffrage under the joint auspices of the Men's League and the State association.

"You certainly made a mistake when you got rid of Louis Grossman. He's turning out some elegant stuff for Potash & Perlmutter." Leon nodded gloomily. "Well, we all make mistakes, Mr. Herzog," he said, "and that's why we got to come here." "That's so," Herzog agreed, as Leon opened the door. "I hope I ain't making no mistake in what I'm going to do." "I hope not," Leon said as he passed out.

"I told 'em, Mawruss, that the season is comparatively young yet, but we already made from ten to twenty per cent. more sales by our new designer. I told Leon them new styles what Louis Grossman got up for us is selling so big we can't put 'em out fast enough." "And what did Leon say?" Morris asked. "He didn't say nothing," Abe replied, "but he looked like his best customer had busted up on him.

Oh, hello, Leon, what can we do for you?" "I want to speak to Louis Grossman. Can you call him to the 'phone?" Leon said. "Louis ain't in," Abe said. "Do you want to leave a message for him?" "Well," Leon hesitated, "the fact is we had an appointment with him for two o'clock over here, and he ain't showed up yet." "Appointment with Louis!" Abe said.

And then everybody will want to know who the bridesmaids are to be." "I believe I'd like to know that myself, as long as I'm to walk out of the church ahead of them provided I don't get lost." "Helen Grossman is to be the maid of honor. I believe I'll ask Jean Robertson, Eloise Grant, Harriet Noble, Mayme McMurtrie, Ellen Boyland " "Are we to have no guests?" " and Effa Samuels.

"I just want Louis to quit his job with Potash & Perlmutter and come and work by us." "Look a-here, Sammet," Feldman broke in impatiently. "I can't waste a whole morning talking to a boob that don't understand the English language. You're wise to the part about Louis Grossman asking for twenty dollars a week steady, instead of his share of the proceeds, ain't you?" Leon nodded.

"The information which you now disclose, Mr. Sammet," he said, after Leon had made known his predicament, "is all obiter dicta." Leon blushed. He imagined this to be somewhat harsh criticism of the innocent statement that he thought Potash & Perlmutter could be bluffed into releasing Louis Grossman.
