THEKID GLOVE WOMAN

For long time the observant woman
had known another woman who never
wore kid gloves. OF course there are
millions of women who never wear kid
gloves. because they can't. But this
woman could have afforded them; more
over, in the class to which she belonged
it was customary to wear them. So one
day the observant woman plucked up her
courage and said, 'Why don't you ever
wear kid gloves?'
Because the animals have to be killed
to provide the material for Them said the
other.
The answer was so unexpected that the
observant woman gasped. do YOU think
you do any good by it?" she asked
Not bit" said the kid glove woman.
philosophically; the business goes right
on at the old stand"
Then what makes you do it?"
Just to square my own actions with
my own sense of what is right" replied
the kid glove woman. THAT sort of solIar-
ing process took hold of me some years
ago. and when it once takes hold of you

"oh, birds; yes" said the observant
woman.
You acknowledge the birds because
there has been an agitation about them, {"
said the other; ':but the principle applies
just as much to any article which it has
cost life to provide"
And so you have abandoned Nkid

You are dear little woman who has

answered her.
She stepped before him, her eyes
blazing. Il never want to see you

enough to let me fight my own battle"
Chilvers took her at her word. When
she telephoned to the hotel in the aft
ernOon they told her that he had gone
away. He had left no note, not even a
card for her. -,s
One of the girls in the art class had
told her of the Splendid place where

But it takes a lot of nerve to wear

servant woman.
1T did. at first" admitted the other;

Then you admit that human necessities

ern Russia, and had to take long drives in
winter, / would clothe myself i'm furs
without any compunction, and If I were
cast away on an island with nothing but

Anyway, L don't think eating meat is
nearly as bad as to wear articles of mere
luxury and fashion which demand the
sacrifice of life! Especially when every
demand of fashion can be filed without It.
Excepting for the gloves no one need ever
miss anything from a costume built on
these principles"
But what about the child labor that's
gone into the things you buy-sweatshops
and all that?" said the observant woman
curiously.
81 never buy an article that hasn't the
Consumers league label on it, said the
kid glove woman. IF l can't find their
label l simply have to do the best 1 can.
We can't alter the conditions under which
We live. But sometimes We can alter our
share in them. / never buy the products
of child labor or sweatShop work. If
know it. If l don't know it 1 can't help
myself"
Don't you get lonesome, sometimes?'
said the observant woman, in a burst of
sympathy.
"Oh. no." said the kid glove woman,
laughing. when a woman has got to
the point where she can wear wooden
gloves to the opera she doesn't need any
company"

HITCHCOCK PLANTS
FRESH OAK SAPlING
Comes From Tree at Mount Vernon by
Way Of st. PETERSBURG

WASHINGTON, April 20-Secretary
Hitchcock has planted an oak sapling
near the east gate in the white house
grounds. The sapling was grown on
the Missourian's farm from an acorn
picked up by him in st. Petersburg
while he was ambassador to Russia.
The oak which produced the acorn was
planted in st. Petersburg many years
ago by a prominent Russian who
brought the acorn from under an i'm
mense oak near the door Of the WASH
fngton home at Mount Vernon. A
sapling Of the same origin was planted
in the same place by the secretary
year ago. It died last winter.
