Waiting for an Invitation.

Dear MISS Doom.
I am a girl of Is, and go to business
college several times a week. In my
class there Is a young man who is very
nice. 1 love him with all my heart,
and cannot seem TO get him out of my
mind. We have never been introduced,
but as he sits near me he often speaks
to me. Some times l answer him, or
ask a necessary question, but I do not
wish to be fresh" and I don't let him
see hat 1 carr for him, and never
notice him If I can help 1t.
He told several people he would like
to meet me, but they have never offered
to introduce us, and I hate to ask
them to-. Several times he stood out
side n waited until I came out, and
then walked down the street behind
me as far as the corne. and when I
did not notice him he went home alone.
The other night he walked off with
another girl whom he never spoke to
before. I have been blue ever since.
DO you think he really cares for me,
and thinks I do not like him2 o, IL I
was the fellow and he was the girl, l
would show him. I will look for your
advice in a day or two. BLUE.
I think your attitude is a little bit
ridiculous. If you and he talk to each
other during school hours I see no rea-
son why you should make a fuss about
greeting him on the street. When you

He Never Comes Unless Invited.

Dear Miss Doom:
I am a constant reader of your
column, and would like your advice. I
am 10 years of age, and am in love with
a young man of 81. Now. Miss Doom, Is
1t proper for me to ask him to call
every time, as he used to call steadily
about a year ago, and now he doesn't
come II I do not ask him. And an
other thing, l met him at a dance n
night, though 1 didn't go with him,
and danced with him several times.
and when I danced with somebod~ else
he got angry and told another young
man that I had played him a mean
trick. Well, I don't see how, do you?
But, Miss Doom. I o v this young man,
and would you kindly tell me whether
I should invite him to call again?
S. w.
I think you are very foolish to let him
see tina you care so much for lin. II
he loved you you would not find 1t
necessary to ask him to call. He'd be
only too glad to ask permission. Try
pretending to be Indifferent to him and
see II it does not bring better results.

Mission Chatting Dish.

There is a demand for plain. I'M
adorned articles of household use. The
mission chatting dish Is an especially
good model. Made Of the fines nickel
or silver, with ebony handles and base;
absolutely plain and easy to keep clean
to the sparkling point. 1t Is admired
by all good ~housekeepers.
The college girl will appreciate this
bit of plain silver, for nearly every
college girl owns a chatting dish, and
not one of them enjoys cleaning an
ornate piece of silver where they are
obliged to rub and rub and scrub with
old tooth brushes In order to get into
the crevicesNof the design.
One girls cry Is echoed by all; "Give
me a plain piece of silver that / can
polish with a channels and MOI get my
hands all mussed UP with silver pol

which were in favor of Newark. Let
tiers were received from ell parts of
this State and New York city, proving
that The Evening Stars woman's page
fulfllls its mission, reaching women in
their homes.

Both creations are from the excellent
stock of Hahne & Co.'s big store, and
since the beginning of the contest have

rooms and windows Of thai firm. They
were found most satisfactory by both
ome
Opinions on the subject were SO d.
vided that The Evening Star is as much
at sea as eve as to which really do
dress better. The committee selected
the winning letters entirely on their
merits, and 1t was discovered that they
represented both sides of the question.
We must let the matter rest as one
to be decided individually. Good dress
ing and style seem like beauty, to be
In the eye Of the beholder.
The Letters,
The question propounded by your
euterprising paper Is as difficult Of
solution as 1t is interesting to my
sex.
Difficult. because there is no arbi-
trary standard in women's dress,
and also because the difference in
the size Of population naturally en-
ters. Assuming there are fifty thou
sand women in Newark, 1t is only
fair to take a corresponding num-
Der in New York. This granted, I
unhesitatingly assert that Newark
women dress better than do their
sisters across the Hudson.
Nor is this strange. Newark's
stores are equal. except In number,
to those of the metropolis. while
their prices, for the same goods, are
much more reasonable.
Better dressed" does not neces-
sarily mean extensively
dressed; but more harmoniously
dressed. 1t Is not only a matter of
selection, but the name of wear
ing ones apparel. Newark women
excel In this. We have no painful
contrasts, no ultra extremes In
styles. All are so well dressed that
none excites vulgar gaze, comment
or invites invidious comparisons.

About Apples.
When n has a quantity of apples
and the early one begin to decay, it
is advisable to save them for future
use by canning them. The early ap-
pies, half tart, half sweet. will not last
long and as soon as they show decay
they should be quartered. pared, freed
from seed and cooked until tender In a
weak sugar syrup. They should be
whole when done and not mashed. Fill
glass jars with them or they can be
put into new tin cans and scaled with
wax. Next spring when you are tired
of the usual desserts, these apples can
be used to make delicious apple pies
or sauce and they can be cooked with
spices and made into apple butter.

THE INCOME TAX.

In it's issue of July IA, the New York
World prints an editorial entitled.
Abandoning the Income Tax" The
World editorial follows:
The World can understand the
silence of the Republican platform in
regard to an income tax. The Repub-
lican party represents the plutocratic
elements opposed to such tax. The
men who would contribute most to the
support of the government under such
a system of taxation are Republicans.
Most. of the men who own franchises,
who have special privileges and con-
stitute the real capitalist class are Re-
publicans. Men like Mr.. Rockefeller,
Mr.. Hartman, Mr.. Morgan and Mr..
Schiff are naturally against an income
tax, and the Republican platform, with
fine disregard of all Mr.. Roosevelt's
shrieks about swollen fortunes, ex-
presses by its silence their disappro-
baton of such a system of raising rev.
enue. But why should the Democratic
party have thrown it over? Mr.. Bryan
himself voted for an income tax while
a member of congress. He always pro-
fessed to believe that law could be
drawn which the supreme court would
sustain, just as it twice sustained pre-
vious acts providing for an income tax.
To wait for constitutional amend
ment is to wait for years, perhaps for
generation. A tax on the hundreds
of millions of annual income of the
wealthy would go far toward relieving
the burden of taxation now borne by
people with small incomes or almost
M incomes at all. There is no more
just or equitaD.e way of raising public
revenue The Democratic party ought
to have taken a strong position on this
question What excuse can it make
for surrender"
One of the planks in the Democratic
platform is as follows:
| I'VE favor an income tax as part of
our revenue system, and We urge the
submission of constitutional amend
ment specifically authorizing congress
to levy and collect tax upon individual
and corporate incomes, to the end that
wealth may bear its proportionate
share of the burdens of the federal
government"
When, in 1896, the Democratic plat
form favored income tax legislation
without waiting for an amendment il
was charged that the party intended to
pack the count. Now when an amend
ment is asked for, the World calls il
an abandonment of the income tax. II
is hard to please some people

They Tied Their Captive to a Tree.

pants" Smiths cheapest were $110.
Johnson was in desperate need of
trousers. Savage dogs had reduced
those he was wearing to a precarious
covering. Wherever he went village
constables urged upon him the neces-
sity of providing himself with new
pair. But he could neither buy nor
beg them.
Therefore, quite desperate, he broke
window in Smiths store and was
reaching in for a $11O pair when
Smith came down with a shotgun and
revolver. Johnson dropped the
pants" and raised his hands. Cover
ing the intruder with his revolver,
Smith discharged his shotgun and
rushed to the scene He was then
taken to the marshes which line the
port and his shirt stripped from his
body. During these thrilling moments
swarms of mosquitoes thronged the
atmosphere.
Their presence suggested torture to
the Port Salongans and they tied their
captive to tree, stripped of his shirt,
and cut the trousers legs above the
knees.
The savage insects fIocked down
upon him and speared his flesh with
their poisoned bills. His cries of pain
brought farmers from miles around,
none of whom suggested that he
should be freed or protected from the
winged host In fact, they sat about
watching his agony and cracking mer-
ry rustic jokes. Those who had tele-
phones called up their friends and
babe them come and enjoy the spec
tacle.
But human endurance could not last
forever, and as the morning advanced
Johnson became weak and craZed
from the stings. His head hung on
his breast and his body was limp. The
thongs that bound him to the tree
kept him from falling. The excruciat-
ing pain had been more than he could
stand and unconscious he was cut
loose and turned over to Constable
Hanger in Northport.
Johnson was unconscious for sever
al hours after being taken to Jail.
Every inch of his exposed flesh was
swollen from the mosquito bites. The
constable loaned him a coat and took
him to Jail.
