In the September Woman's Home
Companion, Anna Steese Richardson
writes about the educational n ar
tistic advantages that are offered by
the great department stores of to-
day. In part, she says:
or the convenience of depart
ment store shopping there is no
question, but its educational and ar
ttstic possibilities are seldom CON
sidered. Few women pay the fri
butte of appreciation to the DEPART
ment, its far-seeing and
its interested demonstrators for
solving domestic problems. Fewer
men realize what measure Of domes-
TIC comfort and economy they owe
to the same source,
Editorials are written about the
extravaganza OF the modern woman
and the love of fnery and luxury
which lures her from the straight
and narrow path. The daily press
recites the downfall of kleptomani-
acs and beWails the fact that the
modern shop presents a temptation
too strong for the beauty-lovlng
woman to resist. Occasionally di-
Vorce court records prove that love
Of finery separates man and wife.
But none sings the lay Of the woman
who takes pleasure in studying the
foibles of the rich and then return
ing content to her own freside, the
woman who finds IN the fittings of
luxurious establishments, as she sees
them set forth in shops, inspiration
to make her own more sincere and
more homelike. But there are thou
sands OF her and you will find her
daily in the department-store revel-
ing In the beautiful display gather
pictures, seeking information among
household furnishings or in up-to-
date grocery and delicatessen depart
ments absolutely content to return
to her own 1reside after her days
outing, and quite Indifferent to the
fact that both she and per pursuit
Of pleasure are the butt of the pro
fessional humorist.

nerve force for which the depart
ment-store Is directly responsible is
beyond computation. The woman

Gus circumstances within the past fif-
ten months. and Annie is said to

lyzed. The finding of enough NOR
phine to kill at least two persons was
followed by the arrest of the sister.
The authorities indicated the bodies
of three other members of the family
would be exhumed for similar exami-
nation.

Annie with the murder of Elsie. but
declined to state tonight whether he
contemplated charging her with the
murder of all four members of the

Taft later refused to accept special
credit for the enforcement of the an

were brought to successful conclu-

administration of his predecessor, 1t
was because the machinery of the
