There was a crowd of customers be-
fore the wOmen's hosiery counter.
The salesgirl who said: Two on
ten to the clerk next to her had been
busy for twenty minutes with a Gus
toner, handsomely dressed young
Ing expensive hosiery.
The young woman had been more
than ordinarily difficult to please, and
the space In front of her was strewn
with boxes. She did not seem salts
fed with any that were shown her, and
described several designs each Of
which necessitated more or less search
through the stock on the part of the
clerk.
1t was perhaps three minutes be-
fore the salesgirl again faced the
customer with several more boxes.
Still apparently dissatisfied, the hand
somely dressed young woman examin-
ed them indifferently. thanked the
clerk and said she would look further.
Just as she rose to go Miss Brown
reminded Miss Smith of the new lot
that had JUS btnree rdl dl urdu
that had just been received, but which
had not yet been placed in stock.
Are you sure?" asked Miss Smith.
Yes. saw them," replied Miss
Brown.
Just a moment I'll ask the floor
walker to show them to you"
Two on ten, Miss Brown? Sure?
Very we'll. This way madam" said
the f1oorwalker, reckoning Miss Brown
to follow them.
II see her finish" remarked an
other of the women customers to her
companion, nodding her head in the
direction of the handsomely dressed
young women. II used to work in
dry goods store before got married
and 1t seems kind of good to hear
that familiar expression Two on ten
again.
What does it mean? Why, two
eyes on ten fingers. That woman was
shoplifter. The girls suspected her,
gave the signal. and had her dead

The Feminine Invasion.
There are nine short stories in the
Five of them were written by wo-
men. Four of the other contributions
also were by women. Mere man fares
a little better in the fiction of the
August Scribner's, for out of the seven
stories and instalments of stories he
scored four, clear majority of one.
The eternal feminine and the internal
masculine divide the fiction of the
August McClure's, in which there are
eight stories, four by men and four by
women. But in the August Century
the gentler sex leads by an over
whelming majority, having five out
Of six stories.
Out of the 80 stories in the August
editions of these four magazines wo-
men have II, or more than so per
cent. Men fare little better with
verse than with fiction. While wo-
man was the author of the only poem
in McClure's, the four poems in
Scribner's were all written by men,
The Century's verse is equally divided
as to the sex of the writer's, two men
and two women. This equal balance
is also maintained by Harper's. Out
of Is contributions of verse to these
four magazines, women we're respon-
sible for five and men for eight.
Man would still appear to have some
slight advantage in the matter of
wooing the Muse. This is to be ex-
pected, at least until the Muse insists
on being emancipated and becomes a
uffragette.-New York World.
The Newest Coiffures.
One of the simplest and prettiest of
coiffures which will be popular this
next season is combination of puffs
and braid which is turned up at the
back and caught with comb.
First the hair is done in the Marcel
wave, the front being parted slightly
in the center and fastened back with
as little effort at fine hairdressing as
possible. The ends of this portion of
the hair are arranged into fluffy puff
and fastened in place at the crown of
the head. The back hair is then braid
ed softly and turned straight up
against the head, being caught with a
high backed amber comb, the ends of
the braid being made into another
pun and carefully pinned in place be-
side the other. The effect is very
pretty and the style one that is gen.
orally becoming to all types of faces.
Daily Thought.
Remember the wide difference be-
tween trying to set an example and
living so as to be an example. Depend.
uopn it that you can only raise other
mems devotion by being and not only
seeming devout-Bish Wilberforce.
