TIME WAS TOO PRECIOUS.
Why Visitors Could Not Be Adr'itted
to Workroom.

Perhaps there never was given q
moro striking instance of the value OF
minutes -. the following: A party
of ladies and gentlemen were shown
through a very large carpet establish
ment a few days ago. They were per-
mitted to ,9ok into every nook and
corner OF the building except one. AT
tbe bottom of a stairway they came
unon a closed door. upon which were
the words, Positively no admittance.
The curiosity of the ladies was now
awakened and one inquired eagerly;
What is up there
THAT is our workshop" explained
the representative of the firm We
have $50 women on that floor sewing
carpets.
oh | should like to see them at
work" said the fair questioner, with
a playfully beseeching look.
u am very sorry that cannot take
Won I'D there" replied the firms rep
resentative. but the rules are very
strict. Really. there is nothing worth
Ioo,ing at. and there are no trade Sc
crets. The reason why the firm inter
diets visitors IS because the presence
of strangers in the room CAUSES every
sewin- woman to look up. and takes
her attention of her work from one to
five minutes. Suppose each woman
loses an average Of two .nutes. Nith
$50 womea that means q loss TO the
firm of 500 minutes. or FIVE hours
If time. That is too Uiuch to lose
when we are working under q great
nressure as we are now. - iit-l5i1s-

Perhaps there was no one away
from the actual scene Of hostihues

war with Spain with more interest
than fIail Miss Ellen Dale.
Miss Dale was alone in the world.
Her history was sad one. At thc
dawn Of the civil war she had been
betrothed to a young naval officer
He left her TO become one Of the de-
voted band that went down in the i'll
fated Cumberland With him per

The double tragedy had well-nigh be-
reft her reason, leaving her after the
storm with siivered hair and broken
health. Her father. an army officer,
emerged from the conflict only to sue
cumb to a disease. resulting from
hardships Of the campaign, leaving a
family Of which Miss Ellen was now
The only survivor. She received a

Ladies Home
Among those in the habit Of visiting
the home was Ethel Vernon, the
daughter Of one of the trustees and a
fayorite with Miss Dale. She was an
attractive girl with whining ways, and
gift of sympathy which dispensed IL
self as naturally as the sunshine Miss
Dale was quick to respond to such a
nature and they soon became warm
friends. Ethel brought so much bright
ness from the busy, outside world into
the old lady's lonely life that il was
a grief TO her when the young girl.

away to the hospitals BY the war.
Deprived of these visits and driven
in upon herself by the uncongenial al
mosphere around her. Miss Dale spent
much OF her time in her own room
One day it suddenly occurred to
her that it would be a pleasant labor
to make a scrapbook of the war.
In collecting and classifying the ma
terial for her book she gained very
clear comp of the operations
