4 “THAT LOVELY FROCK
■fV:
r
By LUClLE CAMPBELL.
Thursday morning Louise Erwin
ropped In on her way downtown and
Id me that she was going to try on
frock that she had seen at one of
jttie stores.
I’ve about made up my mind to buy
It, If It 1b still there,” she sale, "for
It Is very stylish and pretty and Is a
ood bargain besides. It is only about
half wbat It was earlier In the season
when I first saw it and 1 think It will
i becoming to me.”
“How would you like the benefit of
imy advice,” I asked, laughingly. “I've
notion to go with you and give you
-ian expert opinion.”
“That's very good of you,” said
[Louise.
So, an hour latei; Louise stood be-
Ifore me with a childishly pleased and
(expectant look on her face. Although
ishe is two years older than I, Louise
-often seems ridiculously young and
Inexperienced.
“Well, what do you think of ltT“
she asked, glancing Into a long mirror
^complacently.
“It’s quite pretty,” I replied, “but
aren't you afraid that chiffon tunic will
the quite out of style next fall? That
aort of thing has been worn so much
[this winter that probably it will be
dropped altogther.”
“You known I don’t try to keep up
'with the fashions,” said Louise. "If
•|l can get something that Is pretty and
[becoming I don't care whether It's
vthe latest thing or not"
“Well, of course, If you don’t mind
Ibelng a back number," I began.
“This Is the latest design," inter
posed the saleswoman, "and It will
ibe good style for as long as any one
•would wish to wear It."
“But my friend wears her things
.longer than most persons,” I explained
“and I don't like to see her get some
thing that isn't especially becoming.”
“Why, don’t you think I look well
[In this gown?” Louise asked, rather
isharply. She appeared to be vexed
{because I did not rave over the gown.
“Well, you know, dear, an overdress
[effect like that Is apt to make a per
son look rather stout," I explained.
^‘1 think one should be particularly
[careful not to wear anything that adds
fto the size. Still, if you like It and
df you don’t mind looking rather large,
(get It by all means."
“I certainly don’t want It if I’m go
ring to look like a mountain In it.”
{Louise began to take off the frock
{very crossly. “I suppose you haven’t
(anything else that would suit me?”
^•he turned to the saleswoman.
"Nothing at this price that is nearly
wo beautiful. You see, this is one of
tour Imported models. I don’t under
stand how It happened to be marked
i so low. I can show you something
-less dressy.”
“No, thank you, I want a really
K andsome costume," said Louise, look-
lg regretfully at the soft folds of silk
and chiffon. Then as we left the store
ishe asked me: "What are you going
!to wear at our Dix Amies reception
(Saturday night?”
“Oh, I don't know yet,” I replied. “I
usually wait till the last moment to de
cide.”
“I had thought of wearing that gown.
II do wish It had been all right for me.”
“It’s too bad that you are disap
pointed,” I said, sympathetically.
“But surely there's no occasion for any
ispecial dressing at our Dlx Amies re
ception. You will Ipok nice in any of
jyour pretty little frocks.”
Saturday evening I was taking off
)my wraps at the reception when
ILoulBe came toward me in a nun-like
igown of gray.
“You see,” she said, “I took your
.Ihlnt to dress plainly and—’’
Then, looking at me in astonlsh-
P ent, she exlaimed, "Why, Luclle,
hat have you got on? You don’t
imean to say that you bought that
[lovely frock you wouldn’t let me get!”
'I laughed gently. “You were a free
agent, Louise,” I replied, "and as you
(decided against the frock It occurred
(to me that perhaps I could use It,
ibo I went back, to the store yesterday
iand found that It fitted me perfectly.
Then I thought I might as well wear
lit tonight.”
“Weren’t you afraid of looking stout
tin It?” she asked in a really unpleas
ant tone.
"Oh, no, I have no reason to worry
about stoutness,” I returned merrily,
for I always try to overlook Louise’s
little exhibitions of temper. The poor
girl has such an unfortunate disposi
tion.
Carl Bates and Arthur Knight both
complimented me upon my appear
ance. It is always worth one'B while
to dress well.
Lacking.
An old Englishwoman, who was ex
tremely stout, was making vain ef
forts to enter the rear door of an
omnibus. The amused driver leaned
over good naturedly, and said in a
(confidential tone:
k “Try sideways, mother; try side-
ays!
BU8INESS GREED.
There Is no menace to the
country's welfare so disastrous
as the business man who will
sacrifice every Interest of the re
public In order to advance his
own persoual business affairs.
I know of no character, com
mercial or otherwise, so petty as
that of such a man. For a few
thousands or hundreds of thou
sands of dollars be will deliber
ately sacrifice the best interests
of his fellow countrymen and the
Interest of bis own offspring in
the unreasonable and ultimately
useless pursuit of dollars. That
is the man I object to, and you
people should see that he has
nb part in the affairs of our coun
try. Such a man believes that
this republic was created to per
mit him to do business. Also
he seems to think that the presi
dent, the courts, the congress
and the state legislatures exist
for business instead of for the
welfare and happiness of 90,000,-
000 of people. This Is the type
of man whose pernicious activ
ity in governmental affairs Is
speeding the republic to a crisis
that means revolution. Whether
the revolution will be peaceable
or otherwise I am not prepared
to say, but I want to say that I
cannot think that all the patriotic
blood spilled from Brandywine
to Appomattox wns spilled In
vain. Therefore I expect the re
public to endure. But the busi
ness man who lives for business
and nothing else must go. This
nation does not want him.—
Thomas Riley Marshall.

MASTERS OF THE WORLD.
Simple words, short maxims,
homely truths, old sayings, are the
masters of the world. Great refor
mations, great revolutions in society,
great eras in human progress and
improvement and reform start from
good words, right words, sound
words, spoken in the fitting time
and finding their way to human
hearts easily as the birds find their
homes.—D. March.
To Keep Matches Dry.
A novel method of carrying matches
on one’s person In the wet without
having them become soaked is to im
merse a box of safety matches in par
affin until a solid coke is formed, out
of which a match may be broken
when desired. When the match is
scratched the coating of “waterproof”
Is rubbed off its top and also off tbe
composition abrasive on the box, thus
permitting the match to ignite. This
is a simple expedient, which will be
sure to appeal to all woodsmen, pro
fessional or amateur.—Outing.
