signing the pledge" is no new thing,
as is proved by researches in Italy.
Interesting particulars Of what would
appear to be the earliest examples Of
written pledges to abstain from gam
bling and excessive drinking are given
In the Turin Studi MEDIEVAL by Signor
G1rolamo Biscaro, who has discovered
three such documents in the archives
of Milan. The first Of these records is
an oath sworn on the gospels by Gia-
como Pasquali and Armanino Duca
to the effect that for two years they
will abstain from gambling in Pavia
or within three miles thereof and viii
likewise refrain from inducing others
to gamble on their behalf. The penal
ty for any breach of this oath is fixed
at 5 soldi, payable to Papio Bovatorio.
In the second document Perano de
Bono promises Uberto de Proto to
abstain from gambling for a certain
period, exception being made on be-
half of the game Of ~bismentiro, at
which, however, he was not to lose
more than 2 denari on any one day.
Further, he undertakes not to visit
any inn for drinking purposes before
the hour of vespers on Monday. A
breach of either clause Of the pledge
involves the payment of s soldi TO De
Proto. BY the third document Sileto
Ferrario expressed his willingness to
pay II denari to his brother Lamperio
should he be persuaded to play for
money in any place of public resort or
to spend more than 2 denari on intoxi-
cants in any n day.
The motive for these contracts is not
stated, but 1t is presumed that they
were entered into by employees whose
masters wished to keep their proclivl-
ties in check. There is nothing in the
documents to suggest the existence Of
any organization for the promotion Of
temperance. The honor Of being first
in the field in this respect therefore
still rests with Germany. where two

A PARTISAN RUsE.
The Dressmaker's Lure That. Ensnared
the Americans.

The Dressmaker's Lure That Ensnared
the Americans.
Grace Margaret Gould tells in the
September Weman's Home Companion
some Of the ways the Partisan dress
making establishments sell their goods
to American women. Here is one use
that she saw worked in one of the big
gest establishments in Paris:
There was a sudden and evident
commotion among the employees.
"The princess. The princess! She
has arrivedw they cried.
American eyes began to bulge.
Out from a magnificent equipage
stepped a regally gowned grand lady,
attended bg footmen and maid and re-
ceiyed by the whole bowling estab-
lishment. to the neglect of all other
customers. She was in a gracious
mood this day and easy to be pleased,
praising their past efforts and select
ing several Of their new creations with.
out regard to cost. After she had
made her departure amid like cere-
monies there was no need of the sales
woman bothering her head over sug-
gestions. Every American woman
present wanted a gown copied from
the one the princess had bought, and
she got it after much pleading and at
a price far beyond the limit she had
set.
And the point of this fable is this:
The princess was no princess, but an
employee Of the house.
Every French gown has two prices
an American price and a French price.
1t is needless to say which is the
greater price.
Along about April the cry goes up,
1.-The Americans are coming" and then
the prices go up too.
Along about November, when the
Americans have left, you might almost
say they are giving away gowns, only
the Frenchman never does give away
anything. Then it is that the French.

actress in particular selects her ward.
