EVENING CHAT
By RUTH CAMERON.

my daughter has the circulating Ii
brary habit said a man to me the
other day, and struck by the newness
of the phrase, 1 cooked my ears and
waited eagerly for more.
las soon as a book is OUT my
friend went on with a mans patron
izing tolerant smile for the foibles of
the weaker sex, my daughter makes
frantic appeals to the librarian to
save a copy for her. 1t doesn't mat
ter in the least who the author is,
or what the theme may be. but she
must have copy as soon as possible.
'The name of the author, l find, is
often forgotten as soon as the last page
has been read, and very often she has
confessed to me that she reads the
new books only because everyone is
talking about them, and it's so nice to
be able to say she's read Them
Isn't it fortunate for the circulating
libraries that there are heaps and
heaps of people just like this mans
daughter?
I have a friend who is a reference
librarian. and she says that every day
many people come to her asking for
reviews of the new novels, which re-
views they read merely that they may
be able to talk about the books as if
they had read then.

Topeka, or in the West for that
matter, to be sold under a waxed
paper wrapper. This thoroughly
desirable innovation was the result
of two things: first, we were posi-
tive that in Weston Bread we had
ever made and considered it too
good to be sold in the ordinary
way; second, we were convinced
that the public was particular
whose hands touched the bread it
eats.
We decided to wrap this good
bread in a dust proof, germ proof,
hand proof, wrappe r. naturally
waxed paper. The idea was a
grand success and the other bak-
cries fell into line-on the wrap
per. First. we tied the package
with a string. Then we saw that
a strip of gummed paper would not
only secure the paper. but would
SEAL it,
Every step of the development
of the wonderful success of this
bread and package has been imi-
tated--eEery one but the making
of bread as good as Weston-tfey
cannot possibly do that.
You will find this last idea (the
imitators. They're all trying to
make bread like Weston and wrap
1t like Weston, all Of which shows
that Weston is BEST.
We don't deliver Weston Bread,
even to the grocers-most of them
come after it because their Gus
toners demand it. YOU CAN get
Weston from your grocer, if you
demand 1t. He may try to
substitute an limitation" because
it's more profitable to him, and
because it is delivered to him. If
you take the substitute, you're not
getting as much for your money as
you CAN get. for the cost of deliv-
cry and bigger profits must come
out of the quality of the bread.
That's where the imitation falls
down. =
We will be heartily glad to see
our competitors prosper, but not
by misleading YOU into buying in
ferior bread because their package
looks like Weston. Demand your
rights to the BEST-demand Wes-
ton.

relish for his work Later a literary
woman gave him a similar lift on the
same road. and that was the begin
ming of his big success in newspaper
work. His identification with the Col
lier publication followed soon, and
now, he says. 1.-THE feminine element
is eliminated" and. judging from his
editorials, if there is a feminine hand
in the game it plays a two-spot and

Remedy Saved Her Child Try 1t Free

There are literally thousands OF
women in this country who CRATE
fully acknowledge that they owe
the present good health of their
children to the timely use of DIR.
Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. The cry
ing baby usually is constipated or
suffers from intestinal trouble due
to some error in diet. 1t needs no
heroic measures-just a gentle lax
ative like Syrup Pepsin. A small
dose of it will right the baby. It is
a great laxative and digestant,
pleasant, tasting and non-griping
No baby or child refuses it. Many
mothers never give their children
anything else, and they have robust
children and no doctors bills. It
is a great money saver as we'll as,
great life saver. If space permitted,
thousands of women's addresses
could be given who write they will
never be without Syrup Pepsin in
the house. 1t IS for all the family
for anyone who realizes that salts
and strong cathartics are only tenn
porary expedients. You can buy
bottle of your favorite druggist at
fifty cents and one dollar or if
you wish to make a trial of it first.
you can obtain a free sample bot
tie from DIR. Caldwell by sending
him your name and address.

The party given last night by Gov
ernor and Mrs. w. R. Stubs, brilliant
in itself, was given an added touch of
tinguished guest Mr.. Norman Hap
good, the editor of Golfers Weekly.
The affable smile and social graces of
this celebrated "insurgent" give no
hint of the virility and power of his
pen, and still the man of iron is quite
apparent in spite of the varnish. Mr..
Hapgood of course, would have made
good under any circumstances, but it
is gratifying to know that the eternal
feminine" took a hand in making him
one of New York's star newspaper re-
porters, and this is how it happened:
In the days when he was "unat-
tached," he left the five o1lar-a-week
reporting job in the middle west and
took a place as cub reporter on a
New York Daily. Those were times
when he preferred reading a book to
rustling a scoop. By-an-by a pretty
girl lieutenant in the Salvation Army
appeared on his run and an ac-
quaintance followed that let him into
the inside of the facts concerning the
secession of the leader, Ballington
Booth. The story was in demand, and
his part in procuring it for his paper
| gave him the impetus he needed in a

In the same way know people who
seem to take pleasure in going to the
theater merely that when play is
mentioned they may say, Yes, I've
seen that"
Isn't this all childish?
Just think. in none of these cases
are the individuals doing the things
they do for their own enjoyment or
edification, but merely because they
want to- be able to appear to others
to have done them.
Don't we owe ourselves better mo-
tives for the use of our time than
that?
And yet which of US is quite frees
from the faint of this motive?
YOU are?
Wait a bit, my friend.
Here's one more example.
Did you NEVER-not hardly ever
but up and down NEVER-when you
were travelling, go to some famous
spot, some picture gallery, some his
| torical landmark. not so much because
you actually wanted to see it as be-
cause you wanted to say you had seen
TITO be able to speak up when that
place was mentioned and say, Yes, L
was there last summer"
And now do you still think you are
qualified to plead a full mot Guilty."

Picturesque are they in the extreme,
and above a charming face absolutely
irresistible. The one in the sketch
was fashioned of soft blue silk, draped
into most becoming outline in much
the effect of a peasants head dress. It
is bordered by fine silver lace above
a piping of velvet. Clusters of silver
roses and leaves catch the silk on eth
er side of the front, and from velvet
ribbon about two inches in width
passes from one of these clusters to the
other, thus holding the drapery at the
back.

Perform Marriage Ceremony.
Newport, r. l., Sept. 7.-Colonel John
Jacob Aston and his fancee, Miss
Madeleine Force. wanted to be mar
ried between Monday and Thursday
this week. They wanted to be married
in this city, and Colonel Astor was
willing to pay $1,000 for the service
and no more
This was learned for a fact from the
Rev. Edward A. Johnson, D. D., pas
tor of the John Clarke Memorial Bap-
list church of this city, who had been
asked to perform the ceremony and
who was led to talk when he saw in
the papers a dispatch to the effect that
the Rev. Frederick Brooke, pastor of
the Methodist Episcopal church at Lit
tie Compton, R. l., had been asked and
had refused to perform the ceremony.

feel that l could marry the couple,
