Loilfe tix t, THE BEACON Page 31 Rebecca: Have you ever heard of the--would you, like--or I mean, do you need any soap? Mr. Aladdin: Do I look as if I did? D Rebecca: I didn't mean that, I have some soap to sell. I mean I would like to introduce you to a very remarkable soap, the best now on the market. It is called the ---- - Mr. Aladdin: Oh! I must know that soap: made out of pure vegetable fats, isn't it? Rebecca: The very purest. Mr. Aladdin: No acid in it? Rebecca: Not a trace. Mr. Aladdin: And yet a child could do the Monday washing with it and use no force. Rebecca: A babe. Mr. Aladdin: Oh, a babe, eh? That child grows younger every year instead of older. Wise child! CThey sit down and start talking.J l'm keeping house today but I don't live here. I'm just on a visit to my aunt who has gone to Portland.I used to live here as a boy and I am very fond of the spot. Rebecca: I don't think anything takes the place of the farm Where one lived when one was a child. Mr. Aladdin: So you remember your childhood as a thing of the past, do you young lady? Rebecca: I can still remember it, though it seems a long time. Mr. Aladdin: I can remember mine well enough, and a particularly unpleasant one it was. Rebecca: So was mine. What was your trouble? Mr. Aladdin: Lack of food and clothes principal- ly. Rebecca: Oh, mine was no shoes, too many babies, and not enough books.But you are all right and happy now aren' t you? Mr. Aladdin: I'm doing pretty well, thank you. Now tell me, how much soap ought I to buy to-day? Rebecca: How much has your aunt on hand now? And how much would she need? Mr. Aladdin: Oh, I don't know about that. Soap keeps, doesn't it? Rebecca: I'm not certain, but I'll look in the circular. It's sure to tell. Mr. Aladdin: What are you going to do with the magnificent profits you get from this business? Rebecca: We are not selling for our own benefit. We are trying to get a premium for some of our friends named Simpson. Mr. Aladdin: How much do the Simpsons lack at this moment? Rebecca: They sell two hundred more this month and next they can have the lamp by Christmas and they can get a shade by summertime, but I'm afraid I can't do much after to-day because my aunt Miranda might like to have me. Mr. Aladdin: I sec. Well that's all right. I'll

Mr. Aladdin: You should never seem surprised when you have taken a large order. You ought to have replied: HCan't you make it three hundred and fifty?N Instead of capsizing in such an unbusiness-like manner. Rebecca: Oh, I could never say anything like that. But it doesn't seem right for you to take that much. Are you sure you can afford It? Mr. Aladdin: If I can't I'll save on something else. A Rebecca: What if your aunt shouldn't like that kind of soap? Mr. Aladdin: My aunt always likes what I like. Rebecca: nine doesn1t. hr. Aladdin: Then there's something wrong with your aunt. Rebecca: Or with me. Mr. Aladdin: What is your name, little lady? Rebecca: Rebecca Rowena Randall. Mr. Aladdin: What! Both! Your mother was generous. Rebecca: She couldn't bear to give up either of the names she said. Mr. Aladdin: do you want to hear my name? Rebecca: I think I must know already. You must be Mr. Aladdin in Arabian Nights. CEmma Jane comes up on the porch.D Rebecca: Oh.Emma Jane! We are sold out! Cllr. Aladdin smiles.j Mr. Aladdin: If you could contrive to keep a secret, you two lit- tle girls, it would be a rather nice surprise to have the lamp arrive on Thanksgiving Day, wouldn't it? CRebecca and Emma Jane break into a chorus of excited thanks.j 'Mr. Aladdin: Oh, don't mention it. I was sort of.a commercial traveler once myself, years ago, and I like to see the thing done well. Good-bye, hiss Rebecca Rowena! Just let me know anytime you have anything to sell, for I'm certain beforehand I shall want it. Rebecca: Good-bye, Mr. Aladdin! I surely shall.
