A case Of innocent social striving,
with its serio-comic result, is reported
by the Atchison Globe. A young Atchi-
son woman, whose husband has a
small salary, helps him all she can in
keeping down expenses by doing her
own work and sewing. Not long ago
this devoted wife had note from an
old school friend, saying she would
pass through the town soon. Would
Mary care to see her?
Mary replied by return post, invit-
ing her to dinner.
The old school friend had married a
very wealthy man, and lived hand
somely, and the AtchiSon woman was
anxious to make a good showing. AS
she had two weeks to get ready. she
devoted her entire time to plans and
work for the 6 o'clock dinner for her
friend.
She borrowed Turkish rugs and sill
yer and cut glass from friends whom
she took into her confidence, and
swept and garnished her little house,
She told her husband she would give
up her winter suit, and spend the
money on the dinner
He returned a mild, Wouldn't that

band squeeze into the suit he had worn
