In the play two little children

Dol of happiness, and find out after

man who wrote it is named Maeter-

lesson to the men-that they can find
happiness at home if they will quit
gadding around nights looking for it

There were women there wearing
clothes of the kind that attract no at

gone to the play for the plays sake,

~ EAR SADIE-Having embarked
B in a business caree~. you are
naturally ambitious &c succeed.
Now, when a woman rises above the
dead level of mediocrity in any line
and gets to the place where her sal
airy envelope sets men 20 talking about
woman's proper sphere as the home, 1t
is the custom for people TO speak of
her as being lucky"
People can't see why beautiful Maud
Gwendolin Allaire is always out CT a
pob, whilst plain little Mary Jane Smith
climbs up higher and higher in the
office or store in which she works and
gets her wages raised every year. Per-
haps you have taken this WOW Of the
subject yourself and are wondering if
you are going to be one Of the lucky
ones.
Get that notion out of your head to
start with. Take it from me. there is
no such thing as luck" in business.
It's all just plain work and gumption.
What Success Is.
Success in anything, little sister, isn't
a big Haunting impressionistic picture
that is painted with a few bold. quick
sweeps Of a brush. It's a mosaic that
is pieced painfully and laboriously to-
gether out of a million little fnsignifi-
cant, inconsequential, dull-looking,
fragments of things. Each in itself
seems pitifully commonplace, but when
you get them all together-oh, my,
One of these little things that go to
build up a womans success in bust
ness is her clothes. Huh you viii
say, that's easy. All that you have to
do is to get something that is the very
latest style, that is becoming and d
little more expensive than you really
can afford. and
Go slow, my dear. That's the general
feminine rule for dress, 1 know; but it
doesn't work for the business girl, and
that's precisely why 1 call your atten-
ton to it. We women are born with
an instructive hankering for frills and
furbelows. It's our first passion and
our last.
haven't a doubt that our first moth
er pinned her fig leaves on in a hobble
skirt effect and stuck a red rose be
hind her ear, and that if there had been
a fashion reporter present. we should
be reading that Madame Eve appeared
bewitching, in a costume of pale green,
ornamented with real spider web lace,
and hand-wrought garniture of
huckleberries."
The Wrong Clothes.
That's our trouble. We yearn so for
the beautiful, that we lose sight of
its suitability, and because a girl
knows she looks prettier in hubdubs
than in plain, sensible, serviceable
buds, she often makes the mistake of
appearing at business in a costume
that belongs to drawing room rather
than counting room.
Beware of this snare, little sister.
Many a foolish girls foolish clothes
have cost her a good job. A recent
case of this kind has just come under
my observation. A certain business
man of my acquaintance has recently

That's What Ollie Matlock Says to

Her Arrested.

James Sims Of Milan and Mrs. Oh
lie Matlock, both colored, we're ar
rested this morning by deputy from
the sheriff's Office who had warrants
charging them with living in an open
state of adultery. The warrants
were sworn out by Mrs. Shines, wife
of James. Mrs. Matlock's home is in
Rock Island. The pair were taken
to Jail and tried in the police court
this afternoon. 1t was gathered from
the testimony that Mrs. Sims left Mi
Ian about a month ago and went to
Galesburg on a visit. Sims claims
that she left everything in the house
in disorder and after she had been
gone two weeks he found himself
without any clean shirts to wear.
Accordingly he got Mrs. Matlock, who
is not living with her husband, to
come out to his house and do the
washing. The pair admit that the
woman remained all night at the
house twice. but they deny the
charges against them.
Mrs Sims returned from her visit
yesterday, went to Milan and found
how things we're going. She says
that she accosted her husband and
when she upbraided him for being IN
true to her, he put pistol against
her body and threatened to shoot her
if she failed to beat it." She
beat it."
