A BRILLIANT man, occupying a
~ high position in life, said to a
friend: What does the game
and does it pay?"
The game of life means self develop
ment. 1t means taking the rough stone,
or marble. and chipping away at 1t UNI
til you bring forth the divine statue.
It means wedding your garden of all
noxious plants and unsightly shrubs,
and making it q beautiful spot to
please the eye and rest the mind.
All statues and all gardens may not
be the same We are not all given
marble, nor are we all permitted to
cultivate flowers.
Some OF US must use common stone,
or even wood, and we must cultivate
vegetables, instead of flowers.
But of that material which is given
to US. we must make the very best
use.
That is all the Creator demands Of
US, and He demands it of all of us.
There is no injustice in the fact that
given wood; that some must spend their
days among vegetables, and some
among flowers.
When we begin this life, we receive
exactly that which We have earned in
other incarnations. It depends entirely
upon ourselves what use we make Of
the materials given US.
Instead of looking with envy and
jealousy at our neighbors who have
better material than we on which 10

The saleswoman looked more trou-

why this gown would be more salts

Ten days later Mrs Brown wore to
the theater a pearl gray chifkon-veiled
gown. which was almost an exact re-
production of the S1S5 imported model.
And 1T had cost her just SIS.
Her conscience? No. that didn't

1.-TWO women walked into the cos
tune department Of an excIu-
sfve shop. One of them was
Mrs Brown. The other was Mrs
Browns dressmaker. who sewed for her
at $3.50 a day.
Mrs. Brown went up to one of the
saleswomen and said: WAS it not you
who was showing me that gray chiffon
evening gown last week."
The >saleswOman smilingly said It
was And would you like to see it
again?" she asked. hoping this. time
to make the sale.
Yes, I have come to see it again; I
wish to be quite sure it is what I
want"
The saleswoman asked them to be
seated and hurried back to one OF the
glass cases for the gown.
Now what I want you to particu-
larly notice." Mrs. Brown whispered
to her dressmaker, are the lines of
the overskirt and the way the waist is
d-aped on the left side"
The dressmaker nodded.

The DresSmaker Nodded Wisely.
Again the dresmaxer nodded And
now the saleswOman came UP with the
gown She took the tissue paper from
out tie sleeves, then placed a chair be-
fore them and spread the gown upon 1t.
1t was an exquisite French model of the
palest gray satin, yelled with chiffon.
Yes, it is very lovely" purred Mrs.
Brown.
And it is so becoming to you; it fits
you so perfectly" smiled the sales

sive gown alone"
Certainly. Just come this way"
And she led them to a mirror-Iined
fitting room.
In few minutes Mrs. Brown was
being encased in the pale gray evening
gown. And the dressmaker's shrewd
eyes were noting every detail as the
saleswoman hooked up the many hooks
and patent fasteners
Then Mrs. Brown turned slowly
around before the mirror as though
trying finally to decide.

murmured Mrs. Brown, carefully ar
ranging the fold for the benefit of the
dressmaker
Yes, that is very effective" said the
saleswoman. The whole design Of the

o. G. Beans of Wheeling, Racker of

West Virginia.

0. G. Beans. manager of Brad

ing, who has been appointed chair
ran of the publicity committee of the
state board OF trade. is working on
rlan which should not fail to attract
national attention of this state and
20 bring much new business here in
the next decade.
He proposes to complete statistics
from every city and town in the state
giving facts about the industries and
products, how many men employed,
how many unemployed men available,
what products can be manufactured
10 ar advantage, bank clearings gen
eral conditions of business and many
otner facts and to publish these and
distribute them throughout the coun-
try.
This pla1 has never been tried.
Sections have advertised their advan-
tages and specialized along certain
lines, but statistics covering every
industry of the state have never en-
CT implied for this purpose.
