30 feet, and connecting it with the main
storeroom. 4 new heating system is to

a lot . by 40 feet, and when the re-
building is finished il will have the largest

Teaching Children to Dress.

The other day in one of the large de-
partment stores an interesting conversa-
ton was overheard between two fashion
ably dressed women. They met at the
counter where lawns were displayed and
where one had gone with her little daugh-
ter of about eight years of age for the
purpose of selecting and purchasing ma
terials for summer froclls. The child was
occupied in looking at the goods. The
one woman said to the other: why
Dorothy is as interested as a grown-up
would be. Helen cares so little about
her clothes that 1 never take her shop
ping"
The mother OF Dorothy said: 'Yes; shs
is interested. We have shopped together
ever since she was four years old. 1 want
to teach her how 10 dress"
why, what do you mean?' said the
other You surely would not think of
letting her select for herself?'
Yes, indeed" said her mother. 'I al
ways let her choose the materials for her
frocks, with my assistance, and also the
styles in which they are to be made.
When the goods are displayed / draw a
comparison between those that are in
good taste and those that are not, and
explain to her the desirable and the un-
desirable qualities of each. II there are
two pieces OF equally good design. where
the most desirable is simply a. matter of
preference. / leave the selection entirely
to her The same way in choosing styles.
You see / am determined that she shall
know how TO dress when she is grown
up, and how can child know these
things unless she is taught. Occasion
ally there is a genius who becomes an art
list or a musician without training. We
all know the story of the artist who made
the brushes of the cats tail and then as
tonished the natives with his work. But
this is the unusual. and most OF us must
be trained. For dress. like other things,
we cannot start too young"

CLERKS SEE HOPE
IN GHASE'S PLAN
Proposal to Form Benefit
Body Wins Approval.
INDoRSED BY BUSINESS MEN
Theater Managers Scheme Will Be
Laid Before Board of Trade and
Chamber of Commerce Will Also
Take Up Fight to Get Better SaIa-
RIGS for Government Employees.

Manager Cbases plan TO form a benefit
| association outside OF the government de-
partments has struck a responsive chord
in the hearts of clerks and business men
alike, and promises to be a reality in
the near future.
That there is an urgent need of such
an organization in Washington was en-
phasized by business men yesterday be-
cause Of the so-called gag rules in force
in the departments. There is little hope
of the clerks being able to do anything
for themselves without being liable to
dismissal.
This is .pealized by the clerks and busi-
ness men. and it is probable that definite
plans will be made at the meeting of the
Board of Trade next Wednesday. at which
time Mr. Chase will formally lay his pro-
posaI before that body. The Chamber of
Commerce will also be asked at its next
meeting to assist in getting better pay
for the clerks.
Plan Regarded FnvOrably.
Mr.. Chase's plan is to have a committee
Of one hundred raise $1,000 each for ex-
penses which may arise by getting legls-
Iation through Congress. Business men
who we're approached yesterday in regard
TO the movement were Of the opinion that
it was a capital idea, and was the only
logical solution of the clerks problem.
Can't. Oyster said the movement would
obtain the strong Endorsement Of the
Chamber of Commerce, as that body has
gone on record several times as being IN
favor of raising the salaries OF govern
ment clerks He said no time would be
lost in taking action.
Gen George II. Harries, president OF
the Board of Trade, was as enthusiastic
as Capt. oyster on any plan TO aid the
clerks.
Mr.. Chase's proposition is the fourth
of its kind that has been advanced with
in the past few months. The first was
that of the American Federation of La
Dor. which proposed to give strength to
the clerks in the departments by affiliat-
ing them with the central trade body.
The plan failed, because many clerks de-
cltned TO become connected with the trade
body.
Feature of Movement.
The second plan was proposed by a
prominent attorney of this city. 1t was
to be an association of department clerks,
with a constitution and bylaws. One of
the features of the movement was that
I pamphlet or magazine be founded as
the official mouthpiece of the clerks and
to chronicle the events in the depart
mcnts.
The movement was progressing splen-
didly, but was discontinued when Fulton
K. Gordon launched his plan for the
clerks betternent-
Mr.. Gordons plan met with instant
success. and the meeting Saturday night
last was one Of the most enthusiastic
ever held in the city. Mr.. Gordon SAID
Yesterday that his letter-writing cam
paign was progressing wonderfully. and
every clerk was writing letters to friends
and relatives in the States asking them
to request their Representative and Sen
atOr in Washington to do all in his power
to assist the clerks in getting better sal
aries.

Good Prices for Antiques.

The sale of personal property OF Miss
Maria Richard and the late Elijah Richard
IN Shepherdstown last Saturday attracted
quite a crowd, and big prices for the an
tluues were realized. The grandfather'S
clock, which was in plain walnut case,
was bought by Mrs. H. w. Potts at SIT
This clock had been in the Richard fami-
ly for several generations, and is believed
to have been put in its place in the "front
room" when the house was built ITO
years ago. J. S. Bragonier bought the
mahogany sideboard for ISL. This piece
OF furniture had originally belonged to
Mr.. Bragonier's grandmother. Thos. C..
Bowling, of Charles Town, paid $500
for mirror in mahogany frame. and
bought a handsome pair OF brass candle
sticks for $3.50. Templin Licklider got
an old cut-gIass decanter for 500. A
small sewing stand was bought by Mrs.
Laura Lorraine for Mrs. ]. S. Phillips al
$3.50, and she also paid SIS 25 for a
shaving case. These two latter were re-
garded as the highest prices, proportion
ately, that were realized. The Rckard
house, which was occupied by the family
for more than hundred years, has been
rented by Phineas Rush, who will move
into il soon. Miss Maria Rickard, who
is now the last OF her generation, is max
ing her home with her niece, Mrs. c. D..
Keplinger.

A Lucky Find.

~ LuNny "e'
Mrs. Hendricks, widow OF Daniel w.
Hendricks, having decided to break "
housekeeping and make her home with
her daughter, Mrs. Jesse A. Engle, the
household goods were divided up among
the children. One of the pieces that fell
TO the LOT OF ]. A. Hendricks was the desk
or secretary that had belonged to his
father and in which he had kept his pa
pers. After Mr.. Hendricks death year
or two ago this desk was thoroughly
searched, of course, and included in IFS
contents was found $500 in cash. After
the furniture had been divided among the
heirs, ]. A. Hendricks took the secretary
to his home west of town. The other
day while he was sitting IN front OF it he
began to explore it again, when he felt a
bracket yield to his pressure. After ma
nipulating it bit, cunningly concealed
secret drawer came forth, and in it lay a
neat pile of twenty dollar bills, amount
ing in all to $500. Mr.. Hendricks was
agreeably surprised to find this snug sum,
which he turned over on Monday to II.
H. Hendricks, the administrator OF the
estate. He intends to still further pursue
his explorations in the same direction.
