A Moment of Bliss

[Welland Tribune, 26 April 1907]

             This actually occurred in one of the city’s mammoth department stores one day last week. A lady customer stood in one of the aisles in a pensive attitude. She was perhaps meditating on the advisability of investing in some of the finery, when a short-sighted clerk, taking her for one of the lay figures, threw his arms around her and proceeded to carry her towards one of the windows. A vigorous protest was instantly entered by the lady, who was rudely aroused from her reverie, and the blushing clerk, overcome with confusion, humbly apologized for his error.-Vancouver, B.C. World
