Tricks Sometimes
Played on Merchants.

Just before the curtain rose in one of
the New York theaters. the other night,
a keen-faCed man str0lled in and took an
orchestra chair near box occupied by n
certain fashionable woman and her party.
If any individual had taken pains to fol-
low the keen-faced mans movements dur
ing the preceding hour, that individual
might have perceived him trailing the
fashionable woman FROM her home From
his place in the theGter he seemed much
interested in her gown, which was a
beautiful one, with Paris written all over
it. Quite unobtrusively he took several
good looks at it through his opera
glasses. Presently he strolled up to the
box. The woman in the Paris gown was
going to be naughty at this unlimited APP
pearance of man she didn't know, but
he gave her no chance.
MADAME he said, ''the firm Of H
is delighted that you are so well pleased
with the gown sent you on approval that
YOU have decided to keep it
Now, as a matter of fact, he knew, and
she knew that he knew, that she had had
no intention of keeping that gown. She
was one of those customers a class more
numerous than people not in business i'm
agine, who are constantly ordering things
from the shops ION approval and re-
turning them in q day or two with the
freshness gone; no definite tears or rips,
Int an indefinable something showing
to the expert that that article has been
worn 1t was a critical situation for the
fashionable woman, especially as her
n"T,nonions in the box might be moved
IN ti1rn around and lend an ear to the
conversation. But she never turned
hair. ..e.-. -,;oh ,,,,,,
IF the gowns H has sent me We're
not she said serenely, and the next day
tbe firm received her check.
Not many firms, perhaps, would do
what this firm did, and 1t took the step
only after long proyocation. The good
viii of wealthy customers, even the
tricky ones, is important. But there IS
NOT n house of any size dealing with
1ronan's raiment that doesn't writhe
under the depredatlons Of the women
who must have new gowns every time
they 20 out, and aren't able or aren
willing to nay for the privilege
"Onp of the puzZiIug things about a

lie that while women in business-cash-
iers. buyers for merchants, erc.-are al
most invariably honest, women out OF
business are liable to have yGwnng CULTS
where the sense Of honesty resides. They
wouldn't steai--oh, no. But the innu-
merable ways in which they eyade the
simple law of straightforwardness would
make an Oriental feel IKE tyro. Not

gowns sent home on approval. The
subtIer ones have them copied. The
dressmaker will be in the house, and the

or two, is well on the way. Of turning out

Edward Hatch, chairman of the com

chants association, New York, started
bis campaign for the coming season
against the house fly by displaying to a
group of physicians, educators, health
officers and settlement workers twelve
minutes of moving picture films of flies
as they normally are occupied. The films
were made - means of microphotogra-
ply by a London firm.
Flies were shown depositing eggs in
the meat waiting for dinner. Although
only half a dozen or so layers engaged in
this job, each deposited more than 100
eggs, as appeared when the film pictured
the progress of Matching and the sue

and arrival at mature age. How flies
carry infection was illustrated by views
of them feasting on refuse and worse,

LOCAL GIRL

Again has Grand Junction gained

year at the university is the oratorical
contest between representatives of the
Freshmen and Sophomore classes
Four representatives are chosen by
each class to compete for handsome
awards. The rivalry is always keen.
This year the Freshman class chose
three young men and one young lady,
that young lady being Miss Hosmer.
The Sophmores chose four young
men, so among the eight contestants
there was only one girl, the Grand
