local squabbles. and rise superior to all Sec
tional lines. At the time Of this writing it
seems to be scuffle. Usual. between the
Lorillards and the Leaflards. Whether fine
cut tobacco or mess pork gets it we will try
to be there. Mr.. Dennis. with our exhibit.
and let us hope that it will not be composed
entirely of drug store advestising and soap
statuary. Do you not think, Usual, that as
a nation we are covering up what beauty we
have with bright red printing and big black
Smarks2 l nope the Worlds Fair. wher-
ever it is held will give the artist and true
genius as much of u show as it does the
cheap man with dozen swamp lots for sale
or the quack doctor with the brain of
blueJay and the advertising instincts of q
polecat-
We have money enough to fully equal or
eclipse former fairs, but money will not do
1t. We must use some taste and dlscrimi-
nation. This Is not torchlight process
sion. 1t is a worlds exhibition where the
heathen Is liable to casually drop in and
scoop us. What l hate is to be beaten by
heather. That's whore the heathen had
the bulge on us in Paris. He did things
that we could not do and he called atten-
ton to it and kept tho crowds about him
while we had nothing to show but the usu-
al county fair programme run in the same
style. 1t Is my patt lotto prayer that Amor
lea may never again be humiliatod before
the nations of the earth as she was in Paris
this year. l say this in order that in 1892
1t may not be. for l know 1t need not be.
Let the real estate men and the electro
plate advertisers go for three months and
add to our glory as n nation by doing n
great and unselilsh thing. We can do it,
Let us do it.
Estele Lafayette Binks asks who is
Worth?
Charles Frederic Worth. OF Paris. France.
Is q well-to-d dressmaker. He started out
as poor sewing girl. and first attracted
attention in Paris by not leading life of
shame. This drew about him the curious
and wealthy, who got him to make their
dresses. He was born in England, l think
In Lincolnshire. He was clerk in dry
goods store at first. but showed such genius
in draping and arranging costumes, also in
inventlng new methods of squandering
money on clothes. that he was soon able to
establish himself. His place. think. is on
the Rue de la Paix. or some such a rue as
that, and on the great French holiday which
occurs on July IA. his decorations and il
Limitations are the finest and most beauti-
full.
He has made a great many dresses for
the Empress Eugenie. and those who have
seen him, with mouthful OF pins. lifting a
waist lining to the Empross say 1t is worth
q losing and nauseating journey over the.
sea to witness. The poet says:
'Tis worth that makes the man,
And want Of it the fellow.
This is also true of tho women OF Paris.
Worth has c. very handsome daughter
fathers greatest maste pieces in costum-
ing. Tho famous establishment Is now
about twenty years old and is doing well.
Worth does not make dresses for my
folks. We are little particular about who
makes our clothes.

Ing one and one-half cups of sugar with
two newly plucked eggs, yell beaten, two
tablespoonfuls melted butter, one cup of

You cannot collect change off a man"
who has failed to give 1t back to YOU for
eleven years. You say that it was at Spring.
field, Mass. and that the lunch counter
man failed to give you back the majority
OF two-dollar bill when you bought only
ia hard boiled egg. You should have done
the way man did who bought the plate of
beans at the same place and had to lose his
change or his train. He telegraphed the
proprietor collect that he thought that
was 10 price for BEANS" until it
cost the lunch counter twenty dollars, and
then he got his change Mr.. Davey was
getting a rapid, stand-up meal one day at
Springfield during that reign of terror.
and saw that the proprietor did not intend
to give him his change for two dollars. so
while friend engaged the genial and ur-
bane cold-tongue purveyor to the Queen in
conversation Mr.. Davey gently slid his
hand under an adult custard Pie. Then as
the train was about to start Mr.. Davey
casually called the attention of the hard
boiled egg founder. who looked suddenly
around only to receive the entire pie in his
face. By the time he had combed the GUS
tard pie out OF his long and luxuriant whs-
kers the train had reached Boston. SPRING
field now has. however. am happy to say,
q good lunch counter. where one and all
are welcome.
There are some more letters yet unan-
;swered. and everybody is cordially invited
