"I didn't think you'd get so angry because I said thought you ought to wear gray suede shoes with your gray dress instead of white ones. didn't mean to offend you," her friend very sweetly apologized.
 Never mind." she returned softly. "It was all right; but it made me an- gry for two reasons-first. because I had to wear the white shoes because I didn't have any others that were pre- sentable, and, second. because when I left my family of sisters, who made every possible sort of comment on my clothes, declared would never stand it from anybody else. said to myself that whenever friend got so friendly that she thought she could treat me like a sister I'd shake her."-New York Press.

AGAINST PROHIBITION
Riyerhead Minister Says Ii is Futile 10 Attempt to Force
 Such a Law.

Washington, Dec 9.-The fight be- fore congress to impose prohibition on the District of Columbia has brought out some interesting material on both sides. In this is letter from Rev William A., Wasson, rector or Grace Episcopal church, Riverhead, L. l.. who made himself famous last spring by leading the fight in his home town to have the sale of whiskey li- censed after year of dry" MT Wasson was successful, too, and turned his town back to the license system. after the most bitter contest known in Long Island. When MT Wasson was recently written to for an expression of his views as 10 the dry, and wet methods, of his town, he replied: f.
 T have seen enough of the Werld and understand human nature sufn- ciently we'll to know that the attempt to enforce prohibition anywhere, must in the long run, prove dismal failure. can speak of conditions here in Riverhead from actual obser- vation. have lived in the town over five years, and have had an oppor- tunity to observe the results under both license and no license. The no license plan, during the two years pre- vious to the return to license last May, not only did not remove the evil of intemperance, but it aggra- vated that evil and added to it many other worse evils. It is prollhc breeder of perjury, lawlessness and hypocrisy. During the whole two years liquor was sold under cover by all the saloon keepers, and besides , this, all kinds of vile and poisonous connections were. dispensed by ire sponsible and disreputable persons, who, under the license law, could not carry on this criminal practice. With these facts in view, I felt it to be my duty, both as minister and a citizen, to do all in my power to put an end to this noxious system. l advocated license on moral grounds, and l based my arguments on the comparison Of the two plans here in Riverhead. Ihe result of the vote was the adoption of license by large majority. The result during the past six months have splendidly vindicated the wisdom Of that verdict For one thing, Sunday selling stopped short as soon as the license law went into operation Under the no license plan, Sunday selling was the rule. Now, the selling of liquor is absolutely confined tc those that hold licenses. Before, the town was full of secret joints. The whole moral tone of the community has been improved by our present ra- tional system of license and control Under no license. control was simply out of the question. The leader of the prohibition forces in Rivcrhead admitted to me last spring that the nc license scheme has proved failure and yet this man tried his best to have the people give their vote of conf dence to this failure. Fortunately the majority of the people can not be fool. ed all the time. I predict that it will be a long time before the voters of this town go back to the folly of pro. hibition.'
