more said that when she was a little
girl she was monitor at the Hancock
School in Boston. and it was her duty
to answer the door. One rainy day
the bell rang, and she found at the
door a tall, thin man with a dripping
umbrella, who inquired for the princi-
pal. She was just at the hoydenish
and disrespectful age, but there was
something about this visitor which so
impressed her that she led him in as
politely as if he had been a prince,
placed a chair for him by the fire, re-
lieved him of his wet coat and UNI
brella, and after she had started to
leave the room, came back to draw a
firescreen between him and the blaze,
for fear he should find it too hot. She
afterward expressed to her teacher
some surprise at the unwonted civil
lities she had felt impelled to show the
stranger. He answered. 'Ah, that was
Ralph Waldo Emerson, and that Is
the effect he has upon everybody. He
is so courteous himself that it calls
out the latent courtesy in all others

If it leaves his hand revolving upward
it follows it's nose and rises. When
the ball travels on a vertical axis, re-

the outward curve is the result, and,
similarly, on a vertical axis with an

caused. The outdrop is the result of
the ball travelling on a slanting axis
with an outward revolution, and so on.

threatens to make things lively If she
doesn't get it,
The new member was still warm
from a tussle with the telephone, over
which he had been receiving and ac-
cepting an invitation to an informal so
cial affair for the evening, and he was
in no mood to discuss business matters.
Tell the woman" he said. that the
laws of this establishment are immuta-
BILE. Since she has bought the dress,
she will have to keep il, at least so
far as we are concerned. Whether she
can wear it or not is for her to decide"
The floorwalker went upstairs to re-
port the decision of the house and the
new member went home. That night he
made the acquaintance of a charming
young thing in a dream of a white
gown. He met her again next day by
appointment. He had such a shock at
sight of her that if it had been posi-
BILE to back out without irreparably in
juring her maiden SensibilitieS and
proving himself cad he would have
broken the engagement. She had on
the familiar blue gown. She looked
well in it, but before they had walked
a block he understood why she want
ed to return it. Everybody they met
recognized it and knew where she got
it and how much she paid for it.
THAT is the gown that was on exhi-
bition in Barlow's window so long"
said one woman who sat behind them
at the matinee. They had to make a
slashing reduction before they could
sell it. l should think she would feel
awfully foolish in it. Nothing could in
duce me to wear gown that had been
shown to the public as long as that
gown was, especially If it was marked
down"
The new member felt very uncom-
Portable. 1t was not good form to talk
shop just then, but the next morning
he got down to the store an hour ahead
of his usual time and the first thing
he did was to dictate a letter, in the
name of the house, to the purchaser of
the blue gown.
I'VE have reconsidered the matter"
he said. land if the gown is not soiled,
perhaps we can yet come to terms in
regard to an exchange"
The next day the blue dress was TAX
en- back at its full value of $50, and be-
fore the week was ended the mo ex-
change" law had been repealed in the
suit department.

ner while hurrying back, he got into
the wrong compartment himself, the
train pulled out, and so he could not
join me until the next stop.
Just as the train started and l was
in a fever of worry as to what had
become of Harold most villainous-
looking fellow got into my compart-
ment. He seemed all hair and flashing
eyes. 1 felt uneasy right away and
was not relieved by the way he kept
glazing at me in a highly suspicious
manner.
"All of a sudden he took out a clasp
knife, opened it, and began to cut all
the curtain cords and to knot them in
one piece. All the horrible stories l
ever read or heard about misadven-
lures with criminals in those nasty
compartment trains flashed into my
head. l expected nothing better than
to be strangled on the spot, and began
to beg the brigand-for felt sure that
he must be one-to spare my life. He
only laughed-a horrible, brutal laugh
and jabbered something In Italian, of
which l did not understand even a
word.
when he threw off his coat and
waistcoat I grew nearly frantic with
fear, and was almost ready to jump
out of the window, but just in time
to save me from doing something rash
he quietly took hold of his broken
suspenders and began to mend them
with the cord. Then he put on his
coat and vest again and sat down in
the corner and quietly went to, sleep.
When my husband got in at the next
station, which was no great distance
away he had his hands full to keep me
from going into fit of Mysteries. After
that when he had baggage to check
l went along with him"

ONE RULE THAT WAS CHANG

There were already more rules than
the employees found time ito learn and
obey. says the Philadelphia Ledger, but
when the senior partners son was TAX
en- into the company he added another
one.
There is altogether too much ex-
changing done in this store" he said.
1--WE must put a stop to 1t. We lose
money by it. People should do their
shopping with more care and fore
thought. 1 do not mean that they
should wrestle in prayer over their
purchases, but they should examine an
article well before buying, and then II
they are dissatisfied with the bargain
they will have to make the best of it.
l intend to put up notices warning the
public of the change in the policy. The
rule win go into effect the first of the
year.
The new order was not sweeping.
There were some departments in which
it was deemed advisable still to allow
exchanges; in others they were strict
ly forbidden. In the latter class was
the suit department.
"a gown once sold is sold forever"
said the new member, and the older
heads, having become somewhat mud
died by his strenuous methods of re-
constructing business principles, sane
toned the dictum.
About that time gown of blue cloth,
with fanciful, peculiar trimmings, was
put on exhibition in the shop window.
1t was a handsome gown, even though
freakish in design, and the price tag
attached said ii was worth 800.
The new members of the firm and the
managers of the suit department had
expected that gown to be a quick SELL
err But it was not. For five weeks il
draped its graceful folds around the
anatomy of the wax lady who wore IL.
1t drew crowds of passersby to the
window, all of whom inspected, some
of whom admired but none of whom
offered to buy One day there was a
change in the price of the tag. The
gown was the same. but Its value had
evidently shrunk through exposure, and
Il had been marked down to $S5. Still
Il found no purchaser. Later IL was
reduced to 500 then to $50. When the
latter figure was reached some venture
some bargain hunter concluded that
she would get her moneys worth, and
the gown disappeared from the win
dow. BY that time fully 10000 shoppers
had become familiar with the style of
cut and trimming and could swear to
It's identity anywhere.
Two days after the sale there was an
effort made TO set aside the law In re-
gard 20 exchanges.
THE woman who bought that blue
dress is downstairs raising merry
Cain" said the floor walker 10 the new
member. "She says she doesn't Ike the
thing aud wants another gown or her
money She says everybody Ia town
knows Il was marked down from 800
10 $50 and that she can't stand the rld-
lcule. She wants satisfaction. ana
The Savannah morning news., 1903-05-31

It is indeed a boon, says writer in
the New York Evening Post, to man
or woman to be in unity with a friend
who thinks more highly of them than
they do of themselves-on who makes
demands on those hidden repositories
of good and of power which this friend
believes to exist. To feel that you are
accounted generous, unselfish, and
ready to i''put your shoulder to the
wheel of progress" inspires an invo1-
untary desire to meet the expectation
that love has formed of your character
and the appeals of meaner things look
despicable in your eyes, when, with
out the incentive of this waiting trust
fitness, you might have proved I'M
worthy.
In married life this is especially true,
and of the highest value in the found
ing and maintenance of a home. There
is too little friendship in married life
too little guarding of the strong foun-
dations of sober esteem as the cement
which holds passionate love true to its
object.
When a man comes to that unavoid-
able place in life's journey. let it be-
gin where it may, that causes him TO
think less eagerly of how he may give
his wife pleasure, than of how he may
live up to her conception of him as a
noble nature; her questioning eyes are
to him of more value than many hom-
lies.
For a man to know that the woman
he loves is less concerned as to his
good looks, or charm of manner or
financial success, than with the certain
ty that he is true and spot1ess in his
dealings and at one with the great
things which stir mems hearts, is of
infinite value to him. To realize that
to find him less than the soul of honor
would break her heart. makes a trick
of trade look very different in his
eyes. The friend who continually de-
mands of us, by trust and expectation.
the best of which we are capable, is
of infinite value. and when that friend
is found in a wife or husband. life is
assured of stronghold of happiness.
Much that initiates against happy
marriages and happy homes lies in the
lack of this forceful inspiration. Men
and women have charmed each other
with beauty and fascination and that
magnetic attraction for which we have
no words. but which makes blissful
the hours which young hearts spend
together without regard for the deeper
things on which every union of human
lives must rest, to be sound and strong.
The Savannah morning news., 1903-05-31
HOMEMADE CREATION.

The rage for artistic and individual
creations in the way Of gowns, says
the New York Tribune, has been
steadily on the increase for the last
year or two, and fashionable women
with limited purses are all saying that
the situation is really becoming seri-
Gus. OF course, prevailing styles must
be followed in measure; that goes
without saying. But when this means
that to feel appropriately clad for any
function, and have a tranquil mind in
the assurance of being as well dressed
as the other women, ones gown must
be one mass of intricate elaboration
from collar to hem, the question of
how to accomplish this result is most
difficult. With our artistic sense and
sufficient leisure, however, much may
be done at home in the way of pretty
hand work. and with a good day dress
maker who understands how to cut, fit
and finish neatly, a clever woman can
turn out creditable creations. Origi-
nality in such cases should always be
aimed for. Imitation is always poor
thing, but novelty commands adri-
ration, even IL 1t does not bear the
hallmark of some famous couturier
A woman who has nearly all of her
gowns made in the house, and yet is
always perfectly turned out, remarked
recently that there were three things
that she especially studied-one was
to find out what was the latest novel
ty and to adopt it before 1T became
general; another was the neat finish
of her homemade garments, which
should be perfect inside and out, and
the third was elaboration. Simplicity
is all very WELL" She said, ''if you go
to the best tailor, but simple home
made gown is generally very dowdy,
while good taste in color and original
ity in designing are often shown at
their best in gowns that are built by
a day dressmaker under capable
supervision"
a lovely effect in transparencies Ga
new Partisan novelty which this
clever woman has just evolved from
the home atelier merits description.
The gown itself was fashioned out of
the fairest white organdy, with long,
slim skirt, fiuffing out at the bottom
like a convolvulus flower. On the un-
der side of this she arranged the
transparencies, consisting of different
shades of green chiffon, cut in the
shape Of different sized maple leaves.
one overlapping another and tackled
to the organdy with invisible stitches
in fine white thread. The leaves were
arranged in a thick girdle just below
the hips, with ends running down the
seams of the front breadth, and band
of the leaves around the bodice were
confined around the arm just above
the elbow by a tight fitting band, and
the waist had the same trimming
across the chest. Under the leaf-be-
decked organdy was a filmy skirt of
yellow chiffon over taffeta skirt of
the same color, looking, as some one
said s1f1xe sunshine filtering through
the transparent green leaves" AS the
leaves were placed under the organdy.
there was no occasion to turn the
edges, which would have taken much
away from the transparent effect OF
the shadowy green foliage.

BEAUTY AND THE BEASTS.

A group of men, says the Philadel-
phia Ledger, were discussing that
most interesting subject, girls. Miss
TAFT is a mighty pretty GIRL" said one.
She's a perfect peach" Miss TAFT
was a fair type of beauty, with pink
cheeks. fluffy light hair, which she
wore drawn softly down over her fore
head, and she was of willowy, grace
full. figure She certainly was "a
peach" But there was a difference of
opinion at once.
81 don't see how any one can con-
slider Miss TAFT pretty" said another
member of the group. 81 would never
think of looking at her twice"
Then began a discussion of beauty
which was decidedly interesting. One
man preferred a girl who was of bru-
nette type with a long face, rather
prominent features and Sallow COM
plexion. She was the sort of girl who
wears her hat tipped down over her
eyes and has the appearance of con-
ceaIing a deep secret and an awful
knowledge of the world.
Another preference was for the Pc
tite woman; the woman who is not
only small, but whose features are all
most pinched, and her manners some
what mincing and fussy Another
man declared for the sweet girl, the
girl who has the angelic expression,
moves about softly, and never cries for
anything outside of her sphere, all
though she sheds little effective tears
when it suits her purpose.
The plump, buxon lassie came in for
approval. One man admired intensely
the woman with round red cheeks, a
chubby figure and a bustling manner.
The tall, athletic, independent young
woman Jared rather badly. Most of
the men in the group admired her
from a distance. but did not desire a
closer acquaintance. One of the men
expressed the sentiment of the ma
jority when he said THAT type of
women is sort of overpowering. l all
ways feel as IL she thought men a lit
tie inferior and could get along won
derfully we'll without them"
The saucy girl with the snub nose
and fun-loving eyes had many advo-
Gates. But she isn't pretty" object
ed one man, and quickly came the re-
tort from two or three, well, what of
II? She's all sorts of fun, and when
she laughs and shows her dimples.
she's pretty, all right"
Strangely enough. the blonde beauty
was in disfavor. II hate girls who
make up" said one. "and most OF these
blondes are peroxides II they're not
artificial. they look 10, and all they
care about a fellow II to pull his leg
Look IN the newspapers and you'll

They're clever, but they're like cats,

IN defense, and 81 this manner the
bi01de giri was dismissed.
