Difficult to Do Duty

''It may be that in some instances
attempts have been made to injure
me in my business because of my
connection with the grand jury. How
ever, have been here a long time and
there is no likelihood that I will not
be abb to provide a living for myself
and my family in the business which I
have always followed.
II will say this, though, that my
experience in civic matters has taught
me that it is exceedingly difficult for a
man to do his honest duty in posi-
tion of public trust unless he is pos
sessed of independent means. I have
found that for man to fight for the
right, opposing interests with which
he may have business relations. means
that he will suffer pecuniary loss. AS
far as I am concerned. however, have
no fear for myself

Anna Held's Frocks.
The gowns worn by Anna Held in
Miss Innocence are marvels of inge-
NOUS conception. They combine the most
extreme features of the present mode
with the coquetry, chic and daring that
are the characteristics OF this little ac-
tress. Nobody but herself could wear
such costumes. yet many of their Style
features are copied by hundreds of wo-
men.

Billie Burke Is the Model.
The busiest dressmakers Always spare
time TO study little Miss Billie Burke's
costumes TO get new notions for debutante
frocks. Perhaps this ch1rming little ac-
tress sets more styles than any other
woman on the stage, and the only unfor-
tunate part of it is that all her imitatcrs
cannot he As bewitching IS she herself
in her dainty. jeune file frocks.

talked-of stage costumes this winter. but
the simplicity. careful Y analysed. is An
interesting example of what genius and
dollars combined can accomplish i'll tie

Another authoritative gown in Miss
Burke's pay, Love Watches is the panel

panel is embroidered in Egyptian motifs
and Is said to indicate one OF the coming
style features for spring and summer.
