AMERICAN GIRL STARTS FAD.


Ida Freeman, an American girl, has
led many English society women into
the fad Of working flowers in satin
ribbon. The girls skill came to at
tention when she sent a box of flow
ers to a bazaar in aid of a fresh air
fund for London children. When the
box was opened it was thought the
flowers were real, but examination
proved them to be of softest satin.
Experts who examined the flowers
said the work was more realistic and
finished than that Of the best French
artificial flowers, and n manufac-
turer proposed to Mis- Freeman she
instruct a class for the manufacture
of satin flowers for commercial use.
She refused the offer, but volunteered
to teach a small class Of society wo-

What makes the foreman "rp' and "but," and tear his inky hair?
What makes the editor get mad, and very nearly swear!
Its sSiach ads with words enough to fill quarterpage,
And arrangements typographical that fill the heart with rage.
Oh. the ads! Oh, the ads! Oh, the frighHq, frantic ads!

With electros always coming loose and dropping out the brads,
And grammar so iHterate 1T makes the reader ILL.,. -

They chop and change, and skimp and rare-they grudge an inch of space;
Then When they've Backed it good and tight they think it needs a border,
And if you say there isn't room they take away the order.
Oh, the ad! Oh, the adj! Oh. the man who writes the adj

And if q letter doesn't print he cuts the price in half

two m~iddle-aged, one very young,
strolled into the Offices of Holt 6
Wynne. Mr.. Holt knew Colonel IrY-
ing, the most elderly of the three,

of much prominence. The other two
were strangers. Colonel Irving did
not introduce them, except by remark
ing that as they were. friends of his
who wanted to buy oranges, he had
brought them to MI. Holt. He would
answer for their business standing.
What is the market price pei
boX?" asked n Of them, a s Mr.. Holt
led them to some sample boxes.
THE usual rate is from three to
FIVE dollars" said Mr.. Holt. "That is,
for average fruit. The finer grades
are higher, of course"

but that's better than three, at any
rate, eh?"
Nearly twice as good!"- cried Cur
tbs, hopefully. SD be quite satisfied
with five, myself. Holt & Wynne
know I'm a beginner, and they prob
ably won't do as much for me as for
older growers"
Never be satisfied with anything
but the highest price in the market,
if your goods are frst-class," said his
mentor, oracularly. That's another
thing you want to learn. II you sell
the bsst article that comes, there's no
sense or justice in letting some one
else make the profit off its value.
You ought to be getting a good round
check from Holt & Wynne soon."
But, alas, The mail thai brought
Curtis a letter from New York
| brought also a staggering blow to
these roseate theories. Holt &
Wynne wrote briefly that the con-
Segment of oranges had reached
them, but in bad condition, the fruit
being considerably bruised; the mar
ket was dull, and altogether three
dollars a box was all that they could
give for them. They trusted that this
would be satisfactory, and remained
respectfully, and SO forth.
Curtis read the letter I'VE once or
twice. He felt dazed. With the
hopefulness OF youth he had believed
in his predicted good fortune, even
while he had disclaimed any hopes
whatever. How lucky 1t was, he
thought, that he had not told his
mother anything about it, wishing to
surprise. her with the big check. It
| was small enough, after all. He put
letter and check modify in his
pocket, and calculated how much he
had lost on the material and labor for
the boXes-and also how little even
the most snrewd nan Of business can
know about farming. Poor Curtis!
When Mr.. RoDerts came back that
T, evening, after a trip down the State
which had taken him most OF that
week, he found I disappointed-look-
ing pupil, who, without a word, hand
| ed him Holt G Wynne's fateful epis-
tie.
Mr.. Roberts read the letter slowly.
Then he read it again, and then sat
and drummed the fingers of one hand
thoughtfully upon the arm of his
chair. Finally he handed the latter
back to Curtis with the quiet remark:
Don't cash that check, Curt.
You'll have to go to New York, after
ALL"
81 don't see, even if I did cash 1t,
that three dollars a box would guar
antee my travelling expenses" said
Curtis. He tried TO say it lightly,
and did not mean that his voice
should sound ~reproachful, but Mr..
| Roberts smiled under his gray mus
tache.
"Ill guarantee them, them he
said. We'll go together, Curt, and
we'll start tonight, for l have to be in
New York this week at any rate. Pack
up your things and come along. l
mean what / say-Ill guarantee your
expenses. Only be sure and bring
that letter along, for 1 meal bust

"But what" stammered Curtis.

Roberts. I'VE leave at sever o'clock,
