She was quarrelsome, fault-fnding
woman of middle age, and she occupied a
prominent place at one of the tables at a
country hotel this summer. She seemed to
take particular delight in finding fault
with everything and everybody about the
house, and II it were possible she was
especially disagreeable at meal time. she
found fault with the waitress first, ana
declared she was not capable of serving
at the table. Next she found fault with
the food--it was not properly cooked ac-
cording to her idea of cooking-and finally
she complained because she was not
served ahead of all the other people at the
table.
1t was only on rare occasions that she
smiled or spoke pleasantly and whenever
she did the other guests looked upon the
occasion as a holiday event. to say nothing
of the effect such a departure from hcr
usual grouchy manner had on the poor
abused waitress
One girl who was obliged to occupy
seat near her at the table, and who was
just little bit given to fault finding, de-
cared that this woman's actions made
such an impression upon her that she re-
solved to be optimistic during the re-
mainder of her life.
ITO have to sit through a meal and lis
ten to that woman grumble and complain,
she said. lis enough to make one ashamed
Of ever having committed the same Of
fense. If you ever hear me complain again
please tell me about It,"
If the disagreeable woman could only see
herself with other peoples eyes, or hear
her remarks with the ears of those about
her, how different her life might be. She.
too, might determine to be cheerful and
pleasant to those around her.

She gives you the house to entertain
yourself in and you can have her, too,
whenever you want her.
She does not wear you out with too
many entertainments or too many per-
sons.
She doesn't make you feel that you've
got to pay for your keep" by doing
chores.
Neither does she refuse to let you help
her. if she sees 1t would make you hap
piest
She gives you the impression it's a JOY
Just to have you in the house.
And you always want to see her again.

ing for the most popular man in Es-
sex County those who will attend the
big festival for the benefit of the Ger
man Hospital during the week of Sep
tember 16, will have the more glorious
privilege of voting for the most beauti-

staid business man, married and has
been in the house paint business for

take place. The privilege of viewing
it and casting a vote will cost a dime.
The delicate task of counting the
votes will take place on the Saturday

casion of heartaches it has been sug-
gested that the proper restoratives be
kept constantly on hand. -

have a runmage sale, and another
meeting will be held next Wednesday

TINTED EMBROIDERY.

Probably the simplest kind of embroid-
cry is the tinted muslins, which may now
be bought ready stamped in all sorts of
conventional or floral designs. The latter
are the most favored. and of the flowers
seen the rose Is best liked, though violets
and pansy effects are equally beautiful
These tinted motifs are simply outlined In
a fairly heavy mercerized cotton. tone
or two deeper than the flowers. The stems
are also outlined and the centres of the
full-blown flowers are frequently worked
in French knots.
These tinted effects are very dainty for
blouses, and, strange to say. launder very
we'll. the delicate coloring rarely fading

played at Bamberger's. The line includes
every quality, and are especially good for
the price asked.
Dainty lawn handkerchiefs with which
to replenish the summer stock will be
found at L. S. Plaut & Co.'s in great
variety. Some have neat little colored
borders so popular at the present moment,
and others are cross-barred with a narrow
white hem.
AS an accompaniment for the pretty
lingerie frocks which will be worn during
the early fall there is a dainty little

HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS

Iron lace and needlework on the wrong
side 80 as not to fiatten the design.
To keep cheese moist wrap in cloth
wrung out of vinegar. place In paper
bag and hang in a cool place
When making coffee add pinch Of salt
after placing the coffee in the pot. The
flavor will be much improved.
When mashing potatoes add little hot
milk to the butter used. 1t will prevent
the potatoes from being heavy and taste
less.
When washing handkerchiefs add lit
tie borsx to the last rinsinG water. 1t will
make the handlxercniefs easier to irol
and they will look hetterfwhen done.
To keep the enamel of the bath in good
condition always put in little cold watel
1rst. Exceedingly hot water makes Il
liable to crack and peel off
When ironing. rub the iron with clotf
moistened with little paraffin befor'
using. If your iron is inclined to stick
rub frequently on sandpaper.

It Pays to BE Nice.

Have you ever noticed how much the
saleswomen really do "boss" you
around?
And have you also noticed how sell
dom you resent 1t?
You have become so used to- their
tyranny that you accept 1t as A matter
Of course, and think little about it.
OF course the girls have to lcok out
for their own interests, but \ hardly
seems fair to discriminate in favor of
the woman with the charge account.
And even the nice girls are. guilty OF
doing this once in while.
1t pays a girl behind counter to
be nice just as it pays anyone
Why, l know of one girl, at the lace
counter of one of the big stores, who
has a trade all her own. Customers
will come in, and If she is busy, will
walt until she is through. because she
is SO pleasant and friendly and seems
to take such personal interest in their
Relections. MOLLlE.

HOME HINTS.

Morning porch parties and Saturday
weddings are now among the fashionable
events of the day.
Large blanket safety pins are excellent
for pinning the skirt together, forming a
strong hook to hang It in the clothes press.
Use miniature hooks and eyes for fas-
tening dress shields in the dresses. Ser
leot the ones which will not rust It saves
a great deal Of bother when changing the
shields.

CUT-OUT WORK A
NEW BELT FEATURE

You may safely expect a great change in
leather belts, for the advanced styles are
shown in cut-out designs. This work is
somewhat on the order of filigree and very
dainty and artistic in effect. A belt Of this
kind Is not the most serviceable one, how
ever. for they soon break down, yet while
they last they give neat finish to cos
tune As was previously mentioned, slip

fad Of the leather dealers to produce some
thing entirely new in shoes and belts.

the soap, and press while damp.

NOT COMPLIMENTARY
TO WOMEN.

A wonderful similarity exists In the say
ing about women current in the various
nations
The Spanish rhyme has 1t: Were a
woman as. little as she is good, pea poo
would make her gown and hood"
An old English saying: IF a man lose q
woman and farthing, he will be sorry he
lost the farthing."
The French saying: THE man of straw
is worth woman of gold"
The German: There are only two good
women in the world-one is dead and the
other can't be found"
The Scotch say: Honest men marry
soon; wise men never
In Fife they say: THE next best thing
to wife is a good wife"
The Arabian declares: words are wo-
mon: deeds are men"
The Persian says that a woman's wis
dom is under her heel.

VENTILATE TO AVOID GERMS

Give the dining-room a good airing every

they get into the food and thence into

from Peggy not long ago, "Pm going
to start charge account at every
one of the big stores tomorrow. and
then wen see."
"See what?'' curiously asked the hos
tess as she poured her a second cup
OF tea, land why this recklessness? ?'
I'm tired of the treatment have
been receiving from some of the sales
girls. You know it has always been
my practise to pay cash for everything
I buy, and you also know how much
money spend"
-Yes," agreed the hostess.
-Now, wouldn't you think I'd be
considered as important as anyone else
when It came to a matter Of being
waibed on by a clerk? AS matter of
feet I stand no show at all when a
charge customer is around. A girl

she ended with little fiounce.
The Reason.
1T doesn't seem quite fair" began
the hostess, ''but ! think 1t Is because
the charge customers are considered
most important by the persons higher
up than the saleswomen. When they
get q good customer they will do al
most anything to keep her, the girls
are aware of this, and as a conse-
quence are on their best behavior when
the charge customers are around. Or
course cash customers are valued, but
II is considered that their patronage Is
well spread around, while the charge
customer seldom has an account in
more than one store"
"Oh, is that it, exclaimed Peggy.

He began to bid up the stock. He
even bought cash stock-that is, stock
for which he paid cash, had to pay
cash outright, receiving the certificates
forthwith, presumably to hand over to
some investor of millions. Everybody
on the floor was talking about Hay
ward. The entire market had risen in
sympathy with Sugar.
But at 124 it seemed as if the entire
capital stock was for sale. He ceased
buying. He had accumulated $4,000
shares. To pay for the stock necessi-
tated about $4,000 But if he could

might come out even" in his other

pected what was coming. and. deciin-
ing the order, he himself ven to Hay
wards office and asked for Il check.
The cashier sought to put him of with
excuses, and Weehsler. now being Ger
tain of the true state of affairs, re-
turned to the board and began TO sell
Sugar short for his own account. IL a
crash came he would make a great
deal of money Hayward was sure to
be ruined. and Wechsler told himself
