pigskln bag, a nice bag it was, but small, and he was still holding it so and looking at it, and now I heard him say ing to his saeswoman:
 Isn't it rather small?' And then I heard her saying:
 Oh, no. you'd bel surprised to see how much that bag would holdr
 How much is it?' the man asked then, and she said Fifteen dollars. And that I guess was more maybe consid- erable more, than he had expected to pay, and he said to her:
 " Isn't that a good deal to pay for such small bag? and she said:
 "'Not for a bag like that. That's a fine imported bag.
 Well he said, I'll take it. and he did and really I hated to see him do it. You see he was buying it to give to somebody for a Christmas present and I know she won't like 1t because 1t wasn't half big enough and I don't think 1t was the sort of bag she wanted any way. I don't think men ever ought to go shopping for women.' What sort of looking woman was she?" Aunt Martha was asked. "The woman that was arrested? Was she we'll dressed? Was she old or was she young? Did she look troubled or was she keeping calm?''

 anything remarkable about these two, though I suppose there must have been something about them to make me nos tice them. And just as they were going past where I was the young woman that was waiting on me looked around to the young woman next to her behind the counter and said:
 " Shoplifter!' And the other young woman-she vas showing a man some ladies' shopping | bags--she looked up and said:

More thought is being given to the stomach today than to any other or gan. Dieting and a hundred other things are suggested, but the fact re- mains that we have to eat and that ill the main we are eating the same food today that has been eateH-for hundreds of years. The point, then, is to find a way of remedying an evil when we find 1t.
 There comes time in the lives of all of us when laxative is necessary, only with some this requirement.. oc- CUTS more frequently than with others. But whether the occasion is frequent or rare 1t is important that you take a simple, natural remedy. The farther you get away from the man-made tablet or pill and the salty purgative water the better. You want something that com pines the virtues of a laxative and tonic, something that is sure in its effect and yet pleasant to the taste. remedy containing earth-grown> veg etables and plants.

 "See that little woman who just went out?" remarked a Fourth avenue miIliner to a customer. Notice that red hat, did you? We'll, as milliner and a person whose business it is to study the differ ent characteristics of women, I have watched her for two years. It has been kind of study of the 'evolutions of the widow"
 Two years ago she came to me, re- gently bereaved, and had me make her a hat of deepest black. She was broken hearted and declared she would never again take an interest in the pretty things that women like to wear. A year ago she came again.
 Don't you think I might have the least bit of white in my spring hat?'' she asked.
 Yes" said. CT think you might and the hat was made. Three months later she came for another hat, and she stood for little touch of lavender. Next she had a big white plume, and last week I made her that red hat. It just shows what time will do in lifting up a heart bowed down."

 Months at Place Where

From the Washington Herald.

From the Washington Herald.
 London-There has been discus sion in England recently as to the chances of women workers in America, and the Daily Mirror has been printing stenographer sent long letter telling of her experience in New York. She wrote as follows
 'In London I was considered a quick and accurate worker, so I thought it would be interesting to test my skill with the American girls. So l answered adver- tisements and got post in New York city, after calling by appointment at 3 o'clock and waiting until 12:9o, during which time P American girls were inter- viewed.
 .I was taken to the lady principal g room, and, as it was commercial house, the first question rather surprised me. Are you fond of books?' she asked Very I replied. Well. I thought so, be- cause you went right to the bookcase when you were waiting was the reply American business men. and women are keen observers of the trifles that help to build a character.
 Start at Good Salary.
 After a, test I was told that could start work the next morning at 8 salary of $15 a week and next morning found me at my post. There were over 200 lady clerks and stenographers, and my hours were from 9 to 5:15 tor when my work was finishedD.
 There were six desks in our corner of the room and we had four telephones be- n.. rfx.x~ r1A nfrfa but fnt, on the desk a boy appeared, so we had no reason to leave our desks, and scarce ly ever did so, except for lunch.
 We worked like machines most of the day, and there was rule that the num- Der of lines of typing done in the day had to be kept.
 One day I received very formidable notice, informing me that I was on the black books. had punched the clock at one minute to l, and I was asked to state my reasons on the form. The clock was slow, for 1 had not moved from my desk until the hooter sounded
 The Economy of Time.
 q was warned that every minute taken off my time counted as 15 minutes, and that I had to make s5 per cent of my time to get a rise.
 Next week I was a criminal again. and had a notice served on me, and was informed that I had only put comma instead of colon and dash after Dear Sirs:-' and that every letter must go out of the building exactly the same. I began to wonder if I dare write my own name in my own way.

 These are exact facts, and in another firm the rules are even more stringent These followers of system run mad only punish themselves, for employees were coming and going every week.

Dear Sir:-I am sorry to have

uncertainty regarding the story you
republished concerning w. G.. Critch.
low, but in order that there be no
doubt left in my mind regarding our
action in the matter, I referred to
the files. With considerable difficulty
and perhaps too much time, found
the item TO which you referred.
We made no retraction and do not
think we will. We are pretty famii-
lar with Critchlow's history here and
are convinced that II would be no
easy matter TO libel a man whose
character is so vulnerable as is his
Every word published in our story
is true and the half was not told.
Critchlow is a pretty smooth crook
and no doubt he is creating great
blusaer about your office, threatening
libel suit and otherwise trying TO in
timidate you. You might make in
quiry at the state prison as TO his
record there If you desire further
assurance as TO who and what he is.
Trusting that our delay may not
have been great inconvenience to you,
am yours very truly,
