THE WOMAN WHO WORKS
BY CYNTHIA GREY

4 business woman must be economical
She has not hundreds OF dollars to spend
upon her wardrobe. consequently if she is
wise she finds out what color is the most
becoming and buys an office gown Of that
color and uses it as the foundation upon
which she builds her system OF dress.
This color scheme makes it possible to
wear one hat with various articles OF
clothing without appearing radiantly
dressed like bird of Paradise. and moth
ing in a business womans Office dress is
more detestable than linery.
Simplicity, cleanliness. harmony are the
three qualities essential to the business

Christmas Tree Elect

Christmas trees for Chicago and the
smaller lake towns along the southern
shore Of Lake Michigan are brought
down from the Lake Superior country
and northern Wisconsin by old-time
schooners, whose occupation is almost
gone as freight boats in these days Of
steam.
II IS the sign of the opening Of the
Christmas season among the lake
craft when the first schooner sails into
port with a Christmas tree lashed to
her masthead. Every tug and steamer
along the river gives the first conner
a royal whistle welcome as She passes.
and il IS a distinction which every
captain Of the Christmas tree schoon-
crs strives for.

Money in Mistletoe.

Living in a little rough cabin on a

tween Tryon and Columbus, there IS

herself and a crippled mother through

dealers in the North
As early as November this woman.
Mrs. Hannah Abbott, makes her ar
rangements for gathering and ship
ping the mistletoe. It grows on trees
far up the mountain, and once found
is plentiful, but the trouble is TO get
il after you have found il, as il grows
too far up on the branches to reach
easily.
Mrs. Abbott has solved the difficulty
by hiring small colored boys, who
climb the slippery trunks and gather

gathering cocoanuts. After it has been
carefully sorted and packed in cases
Il IS shipped North 70 several Of the
largest florists IN New York and other

objection to the passage of the bill. al
though in his judgment there was no use
for the measure, as slavery had already
been abolished legislatively by the terms

Taft reviewed the friar land negotiations

While the Philippines government might
lose perhaps a million and half or two
million dollars by the purchase of the
