WHY SHE CHANGED HER
MIND.

William she said, Il need a tailor
made gown"
He said never word, but he did
lot of thinking, for well he knew that
tailor-made gowns are expensive, and
that when woman once acquires the
tailor-made habit it is difficult to
break her of it.
William" she said, 81 must have
tailor-made gown"
He sighed. When a mans wife
says "must" there isn't anything for
a man to do but sigh, unless be is
able to think up some entirely novel
and effective scheme. Argument is
just little worse than useless.

"You will let me get one," she in
quired, rather doubtfully.
"You have said that you must have
it," he replied. "If you must have it,
why, that settles it,
"You are sure you can afford it?''
she persisted.
"If you must have it," he returned
II will have to afford it. OF course,
it will require little economizing on
my part, but l guess can fix it,"
"What do you intend to do?" she
demanded.
"Well," he answered, putting aside
his paper, II have been thinking it
over for few days, snd I have about
made up my mind that I can save the
necessary money by economizing lit

The herculean task Of wiping out
the popular superstition concerning
Friday and the number Ii has been
undertaken by Prof G. A. L. Soften,
former military instructor at Yale.
Prof. Totten says: Gas to America,
it bears thirteen all over it heraldry,
and Friday has been it's chief day
discovery Of America, Declaration of
Independence, etc). We have thir-
teen letters in E Pluribus Unum, the
motto on our great seal. We have
thirteen, thirteen times repeated on
that seal. Take out new silver
quarter, if you have one left, and
count the thirteens, even on its OBJ
serve face. Dear me, don't worry
over the luckiest number. A full
bakers dozen is thirteen-that is,
one for good measure, pressed down
and running over. Mannafseh was
the thirteenth tribe in Israel and we
are the people"
It's the wise woman who takes ad.
vantage of the silk sales now going
on. Many of these are remnants con.
tanning sufficient yards for a blouse
shirt, and are selling at one-half
price.
How the shopkeepers do anticipated
Beside the counters heaped high with
the thinest and fuffiest of summer
waists and gowns, are other counters
on which are displayed furs of all
kinds and sorts from the merest neck
boa to the heavy steel coats.
