Prof. Poppendorf frowned a little, as if not approving the visit.
"Do you have gentlemen call upon you at Macy's, Mees Ruth?" he asked.
"Only when they wish to buy articles," said Ruth, smiling and blushing.
"What do you sell, Mees Ruth?"
"Handkerchiefs, Professor."
"Do you have any like this?" and he pulled out a large red silk handkerchief.
"No, I have only white linen handkerchiefs."
"I haf never use any but red ones, but I might come in and see what you have."
"I shall be glad to show you what I have, Professor."
