ting the goods.
THERE'S one house where don't work any
more" said the window dresser with remi-
niscent chuckle. - owe them for about fifty
dollars worth of dolls. 1t happened like this
1t was near Christmas and they wanted whole
windowful of dolls, one of those windows
where little girls hang around all day in rapture
and say to each other, 1 choose the little one
in the pink bonnet, Susie. Which one do you
choose?'
Not only was the whole floor space to be
covered with various groups of dolls, but the
air was to be full of floating dolls, suspended
by wires under their little arms and lowering
downward like Christmas angels. When
started in / noticed that the metal piece that
holds the two parts of the stepladder in place
was broken off and rope tied in its place
"'Id better have another ladder, Mr.. Will
iams,' said l to the boss window dresser.
Forget it ! said he. That ladders all
right, and you re not heavyweight
Il said no more; but went on with the job.
1t was nearly finished and looking fine if do
say it, when l started up the ladder for the final
touches. Just as reached the top the rope
snapped and the thing started to fold together
AS l felt myself going, l reached out and
dolls, with the wild notion that could hold
myself up by them. Of course we all came
down together. landed hard on the finest doll
in the whole bunch, one of the prize beauties
which shuts her eyes and says Mama and
Papa She shut her eyes all right when l lit
on her, and gave one long despairing shrek of
Mama! But it was no use; all the fond
parents in creation couldn't have helped her
after l arrived. When they finally pried US
apart, she was subject for a coroner's inquest
Would you believe it? Instead of apologize
ing for his rickety old ladder, the boss was
furious You'll pay for this!' he spluttered
III take it out of your time.
"'All right, take it out of my time!' said l.
stepping out of the window. As good luck
would have it, | had been paid the day before
to me. If ever went back there though,
should have to pay for all those dead dollies
before I drew cent. So. as l said, l don't
work there any more. Life is too Short

GOLD PLATED LACE

A NOVELTY of French invention is process
for electroplating delicate laces so as to
give them brilliant flexible surface of gold,
silver, other metal. 1t is announced that a
company has been formed for the development
of the process on an industrial scale So thin is
the metallic deposit that the softness Of the lace
is not destroyed.
The first suggested uses of metallized lace are
for furniture covers, wainscoting, and the in
crustation of wood but it is thought that it
may also be employed in the trimming of gar
ments and the ornamentation of head dresses

YOU fellows make big money"
i said the little clerk somewhat
By e. Donehower

enviously to his companion.
Sometimes we do, my son." replied the
window dresser but it often happens that we
don't get all that is coming to us. Last week,
for instance, | had to pay eight dollars for a
pair of silk stockings
Il don't suppose you know that window
dresser is responsible for all the goods he puts
in his window. An account is opened, and
every item he uses is charged against him,
making hair raising total. When the job is
completed the window is locked, and remains
SO till it is time for the next arrangement.
Then, of course, he gets credit for each article
it is returned to stock.
Last week the saleswoman who was
experimenting the job suddenly squeaked
out, What's the matter with this pair Of stock
"Search me- said l. They're just the
same as when you gave them to me-
No, they're not, either' she snapped. 1
gave you an eight-dollar pair of silk stockings,
and you return me silk and one lisle!
1T was plain from her tone that she sus-
pected me of making away with the other silk
stocking, though what should gain by such a
fool trick it is hard to tell. Maybe she thought
for silk hosiery. Anyhow, had to separate
myself from eight dollars of my hard earned
wealth. The miSmated pair was turned over
to me; but they're not much use unless should
meet up with the one-legged wife as aforesaid.
THAT was easy, though, compared with the
bill had to foot last spring; stockings
again, as it happened. was dressing dummy
for position in the front of the window where
her feet would be much in evidence and began
by putting twenty-four-doll pair of silk
stockings on her, intending to fit her out with
low shoes to match. Then changed the
rangement and left the fair damsel still standing
in her stocking feet which were concealed by
her flowing draperies. That night a heavy
ranstorm beat against the window. The water
penetrated the woodwork, which was old and
rotten, and soaked the delicate tan colored
stockings till they were total wreck"
Il don't see why you should pay for damage
caused by his leaky old window" said his
friend.
Neither did l at first; but the boss pointed
out that l had been guilty of gross careless
ness. If had removed the stockings, put
the shoes, the damage would not have
occurred. At all events, had to hand out
the twenty-four dollars, and put it down to
experience.
So you see the life Of a window dresser
isn't all beer and skittles. You remember we
must go through long training before we are
worth our salt. l had to take full course in
hair dressing, for instance, and even now l
must keep watchful eye on all the new ar
engagements of rats and puffs; for wax lady
with this years frock and last years head Of
hair would be fierce combination which no
first class house would stand for. Then there
is the draping. The saleswoman hands me a
roll of silk and tells me she wants princess

LIVE CHICKENS AS DINNER
 E6VORS,

san Francisco-Real live little chicks ran around dining table of the Fair mont Saturday evening. The little birds could hardly be called table decorations-but they helped to carry out a chantecler dinner effect.
 Mrs. Beryl Grayden gave the chante cIer dinner, and it was the first of its kind ever given in San Francisco. Among other effects of the chantecler dinner was real rooster placed in the center of the dining table. In the soup little miniature roosters floated around, made out of macaroni. But the real novelty of the dinner vas the lit tie chickens, and some of the guests took them home with them, promising to raise them to dignified fowls as souvenirs of the dinner. The chicks were hidden under covers and were served at the early part of the dinner. Of course, when the guests uncovered their dishes the little chickens ran out and had a merry time scampering around the table.-Los Angeles Exam iner

FLIES INJURE THE CROPS.

Much has been written and printed Of late about lies as menace to human health. But not a word has been said about the damage which they do to cultivated crops, which, in this country must amount to scores of mill lions of dollars annually.
 Nearly all diseases of plans are due to fungi. usually microscopic. Of such character. for example. are the 'smuts" of wheat and other grains. the mil dews.- the ''rusts," and all the long list of fruit .'rots" of various kinds These and ever so many other veg etable maladies are attributable to minute fungi which feed upon the plants.
 The fungi in question are distributed in a number of ways, but commonly by flies-that is to say. by the muscidae and sarcophagidae, or in other words, the house-fly and it's relatives, and the carrion flies. Those insects feed on al- most everything imaginable. and. con stantly Hitting from place to place, are the universal distributors of the spores Corresponding to seeds) of all kinds of fungi.
 Flies are extremely fond of odors. Some that are horrible to use are most agreeable to them. . They are attract ed to the cane fields by the smell of fermenting sugar, and there feed on the sweet sap. Thus it comes about

LOWERING THE GATES-The

IO" GhlNO TIE OA eS-Ine gate at the Roosevelt dam has been lowered another notch and now stands al three feet. A short time ago it was raised foot higher. This is not due to any increased supply of water above but to the fact that not quite so much irrigation water is required . by the valley now as d little earlier in the season and it is desirable to husband the water as much as possible. Thanks to the reservoir, there has been no water shortage suffered this year by those who were entitled to it. though it has been one of the driest crop sea sons in many years. As all are aware the supply in the reservoir was not large to begin with but will undoubt- edly be ample for the seasons crops and there is no fear of shortage. but unless there are good rains in mid
 summer there will be little left in the. basin next fall and if is up to the rain god to fill the tank next winter once the basin is filled there will be sup ply that will be amply protecting but there will have to be one good rainy season after the reservoir is complet- ed in order to fill it and fully insure against another period of dry years.

SCRATCHED so SHE COULD

am for the wonderful Cuticura Rem
edies. My little niece had eczema for
five years and when her mother died
took care of the child. It was all
over her face and body, also on her
head. She scratched so that she could
not sleep nights. | used Cuticura
Soap to wash her with and then ap-
piled Cuticura Ointment I did not
use quite half the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment, together with Cuticura Re
solvent, when you could see change
and they cured her nicely. Now she
is eleven years old and has never been
bothered with eczema since. My
friends think it is just great the way
the baby was cured by Cuticura.
send you picture taken when she was
about 10 months old

when two years old. She was covered
with big sores and her mother had all
the best doctors and tried all kinds Of
salves and medicines without effect
