Fair Dealing.

The Duke of Wellington was as we'll
known for fair dealing in time of peace
as he was for fair hitting in time of
war. A farmer at Strathfieldsaye, saws
the editor of the Howard Letters. ;,
owned a piece of ground entering like
a wedge into the dukes estate. which
he refused to sell. But his affairs be-
came involved, and his property was
put up by the sheriff. One morning
the dukes steward came to him in high
glee.
Il have done good piece of business
for your grace this morning." he said.
Il have got that wedge of land for n
kere song"
What is it really worth?" asked the
duke.
"At least nineteen hundred pounds
And what is the mere song >"
"Only eleven hundred"
Then" said the duke "you will
give the man check for eight hundred
pounds, with my regret for his trouble -

BABY's LIFE OF LUXURY.
Millionaire's Tiny Daughter Spends
$500 n Week at Atlantic City.

MiIIionaire's Tiny Daughter Spends
$500 n Week at Atlantic City.
Occupying one of the most expensive
suits in the Traymore hotel and accom-
panied by a retinue of trained nurses
and attendants, Miss Yvonne Gaurard,
aged six years, of New York and Paris.
is one of the most interesting visitors
at Atlantic City, says the Philadelphia
Press. Little Miss Gaurard Is conva-
lescing from a severe illness and ar
rived at Atlantic City recently accom-
panied by a number of nurses and at
tendants on a special car over the
Pennsylvania railroad. Every morning
Miss Gaurard invariably finds cable
message from her parents, who are in
Paris, bidding her good morning and
making inquiry as to her condition.
Before breakfast the little girl has die
tated reply through a stenographer,
who is one Of her attendants, and has
cabled reply to her father and moth
er. At noon and also at night before
retiring she sends other messages and
receives as many from France.
One of the expensive rooms which
the tiny child of fortune occupies has
been fitted up as a play room. Several
thousand dollars would not pay for the
many costly toys and novelties which
the room holds. There are walking
dolls, dolls that can talk, stuffed bears
and dogs and monkeys that can climb
ropes and scale ladders and tiny man
sions for the dolls and little Miss Gau-
rard to play at housekeeping.
The little girl is anxious to see her
little foster brother whom her parents
recently adopted in Paris, for YvOnne
is an only child and pines for the asso-
citation of other children. 1t was to
supply her yearning that the Gaurards
have adopted the tiny foster brother.
This little girl spends money lavish
ly and Is liberal in distributing tips to
the hotel servants. She is a general
| favorite with the guests and is pointed
out as 'the rich little girl who has the
most expensive suit Of apartments and
the largest retinue of attendants OF
any child here
| 1t has been estimated that Miss Gau-
rard's expenses, including her hotel
bill, amount to nearly $50 Ga week.
Her father is one of the millionaires of
New York.

To Girl. About to Marry.

The chances of girl making good
wife depend entirely upon herself. 1t
takes force Of character to love deeply
and to be worthy of deep love. What
ever the amount of love meted out to q
good husband, he will return it with
just equal zeal, and will study his
wife's interest with the greatest care
and thought.
Those of us who, by force of clrcum-
stance, are obliged to work for our liv-
ing, have brains enough to appreciate
good man and pretty home when
such delightful links of happiness come
our way. Money gained by the toll Of
our hands is splendid thing; 1t Is ex-
cellent training in any way. A hard
earned salary is delight, especially
If by the making of it we help to keep
others as well as ourselves. We were
not put into this world to drift We
are here to work-to fill the appointed
places which have been allotted us.
Work is part Of our portion here,
part Of the Divine scheme. When we
think about marrying We must not give
up work just because we shall expect
our dear chosen partner to keep the
little home together.
The girl who really loves, and has
had to scrape together hard-earned
wages, will appreciate the joy and
beauty Of quiet, calm, domestic life.
When she sees the image of her own
bright young beauty growing up around
her, hears the pattering Of little feet
and the sweet childish voices, she will
be thankful she once worked for her
own living, which gave her so excel
lent a training for being wife and a
mother.

When Shopping.


Make list Of needed things and ad-
here to it.
Decide exactly what you want to buy,
color, quality and price you can pay.
Be amiable to the clerk. She is a
human being and not a machine. She
will reward you by kindness and atten-
ton.
Order what you want pleasantly, but
very decisively, leaving no room for an
overpersuasive clerk to inveigle you
into buying what you do not want.
Know exactly what you want and take
nothing else.
Shop In the morning while you are
fresh, besides avoiding the crowded
stores and cars Of later hours You
will notice that you remain fresh, adj
the housework you leave IN order to
go early looks a mere trifle upon your
return.
Count your cash and plan to make
1t cover all necessaries. If you must
economize, study the art of doing with
out unnecessaries. Buying few things
that are actually needed gives far more
satisfaction than the accumulation of
oceans of superfluous things.
