We are glad 10 say that he got 1000, and
sorTy TO say that he lost this in i'll considered
speculation.
The story teaches us no lesson founded
upon this instance Of personal misfortune
We have here chiefly a love story. The
fortune Of the hero turns upon what seems
TO us TO be the whim OF the strongest female
personality in the narrative. This strongest
female personality has the momentary
weakness TO be willing to avenge. at the
profound cost Of her lover an unimportant
social slight put upon her mother. She
marries a New Yorker Of social importance,
in order to see her mother right.
We can imagine no greater injustice
10 a devoted lover. To be sure, the lover
here had need to be punished. he had
ceased TO love the girl with whom he had
grown up a. a child. He was kind TO her
but he permitted his blood TO be stirred by
another. We do not hesitate TO say that
he ought 10 have had greater control over
his blood.
A. II turned out. we are sorry for almost
everybody in the story. The New Yorker
Of social and pecuniary eminenoe. had
evidently his moments Of humiliation and
doubt. SO much was good for him, we
are bound 10 say. No matter what the i'm
portance. even Of New Yorker Of great
riches and Of -old family II is plain TO us
that he needs the occasional correction
that life is bound % afford. We see here
that he was jealous Of somebody from the
provinces We can conceive Of no
greater injury to a metropolitan In America.

The largest store

The largest store
of its kind in the largest city in
this country in the second year
of its existence is still running
behind every month.
Yet its proprietors have not
abandoned their project. They
have the right sort Of goods,
their store has the best location
in the city, they know that their
prices are right, they know the
trade is there. They are going
to stick to it until they get it. 1t
costs money, but in the long run
it pays.
If these men had looked at
their enterprise as some men
look at advertising, they would
have given up at the end of the
first year, or for that matter, at
the end of the first three months.
Advertising, even with good
copy in the best medium obtain
able, is not going to pay imme-
diately. The point to be noted
is not to expect immediate re-
suits, but to be sure that you
have the right store on the right
street-in other words, the right
advertisement in the right me-
dunn.
Our gospel is that a manufac-
turer making an article of real
need, sold in the retail stores in
this country, can, by using a
proper amount of publicity in the
columns of The LADIES HOME
JOURNAL, create a definite income
from the sales made by that ad-
vertising, and do it in a shorter
time than it takes a store to es-
tablish itself in retail trade.
Advertising is just as sure as
any other business enterprise. 1t
requires the right proposition,
good judgment, enough capital
and patience.
