Not very long ago a lawyer accompanied his wife to a Harlem
market in New York, and while she made some purchases, he
watched a woman beside him select meats for an unusually large
order. So extensive were her purchases that he grew interested.
Later he found himself forgetting quantity in admiration for the
judgment and care she was exercising in her buying. After she
left, his curiosity got the better of him. “Do you mind telling
me,” said he to the clerk, “who that woman was? I think I never
saw one who bought so well.”
“Not at all,” was the answer. “She’s Mrs. X, and she keeps a
boarding-house on Y Street,” naming a number almost opposite the
man’s home. “She personally inspects every piece of meat she
serves on her table, and I tell you her boarders get the best.
You can’t fool her.”
“I’ve found a place to take our meals in the next domestic
crisis,” was the thought that flashed into the man’s mind. This
kind of boarding-house keeper was not the sort he had known in
the days of his bachelor wanderings.--_The Evening Post._
