kerchief lawn, and sewn your lace on

would have a jabot that would last for

But probably the girl couldn't sew,

lesson that cheap things are always ex-
travagant, especially for the girl on a
small salary. In another week she will

famous garment has drawstrings in it,
and anyhow Miss Mink doesn't wear it,
for she is the very pretty blond prima
donna of the laughter making comedy,
and, as you know, prima donnas never
wear flannel. They always wear chif-
fon, even in petticoats. That's why
their salaries are so high.
Anyhow, she was sewing on her own
button-oh, so perfectly proper It's
one of those buttons that doesn't do
any work. but is covered with brocade
or silk Of some sort, and whose only
business in life is to fall off and be
source of aggravation to the wearer.
why, fair lady, do you sew on your
own button?" inquired the writer.
Because there's many a miss be-
tween maids returned Miss Mink.
"And nobody's educated who can't sew

Anyhow, If the next president of the
United States can sew on button when

Plain Sewing Course.
ITO tell the truth, often think that
good course in plain sewing is much
more serviceable as a foundation for

pass in the street probably don't know
how to sew, or the wouldn't go round
with their jabots unravelling at the
edges. the bones in their collars stick
ing out above the edge of the material
or the buttons off their frocks,'' and she
gave her own button a particularly
vicious jab.

the girl who can sew has some advan-
tage over her progressive sisters, for
sewing is a consolation. in the hours of
dependency and tedious waiting which
come into the life Of every one of us.
THE girl who knows how to sew, no
matter what her income is, gets better
clothes than the one who does not, be-
cause she communicable respect of the
dressmaker If she has maid she is at
a tremendous disadvantage unless she
knows how she wants things done and
how to direct the maid to do it.
"The average girl who maids her
self as the English call it, is simply
not in it. unless she knows how to
mend and make simple things like col
lars, cuffs, shirt waists and under
clothes.
'Daintiness, which is one of the great
charms of women, is synonymous with
T, cleanliness and neatness. A woman
can be dainty in very old clothes, but
never in torn ones or clothes that need

A SUGGESTION

Canon City. Colo. May 5. 1912
Editor OF the Daily Record.
The question as to whether or not
We should hold a county fair this year
has been mentioned several times. but
up to date no one seems to have
eyinced any decided enthusiasm over
it.
Former experiences have ptoven
that our county fair is not to be de-
pended upon as a paying proposition
when considered In the light of cash
profits. But as an advertising medium
for the resources of our county, there
can be no question as to its value,
and IT does seem unwise to pass up the
opportunity of continuing such adver-
Using.
I should like to offer this suggest
ion. That since 1t is doubtful II fair
will pay enough to warrant its being
held this year. that as a substitute.
