Selma, Ala. Times.l

The Selma Times wishes to commend
the wisdom of the Committee of the
Selma City Council on the purchase OF
an automobile fire truck, for the decis-
ION reached at its meeting yesterday to
first secure from the Southeastern Tar
riff Association some notion of the
benefits to the citizens of Selma to be
derived from the expenditure of so
large a sum of money.
The Selma Times has always been in
favor of the improvement of the Selma
fire department. The editor of this
paper was to some degree responsible
for the installation of the Gamewell
Fire Alarm system way back about
1892 through arousing public interest
to the necessity of the innovation. He
was similarly instrumental, to an hum
BILE degree in all instances, to the pur-
chase of the chemical combination APP
paratus and the chemical engine In
fact, for long years member of the
volunteer department that did such val
liant service for Selma he took pardon
able pride in the upbuilding of the paid
department, which under Chief Blak-
ely's excellent direction is easily one Of

That The Selma Times asked halt

crue to Selma before the new expensive
apparatus was purchased was in keep

duty to the community and the city, 1t
is therefore gratifying that the COM

ference with the insurance authorities
and learn what benefits will come from
the installation of the automobile en-

the some eight or nine thousand dol

DRESSMAKER HAS ALL QUALITIES
THAT Will MAKE COMMENTED WIFE

powers of diplomacy were given the
scope and recognition they deserve
she would become one of the worlds
greatest diplomats.
IF she learns the value of tact in
making dress for a moman, how
much greater will she realize the val
ue of tact in dealing with husband!
"She learns to make herself adapt
able, and adaptability has never re-
ceived its just recognition as the pow
er that makes a woman a good wife, n
perfect hostess and an ideal friend.
THE dressmaker must be practical,
thrifty and economical. Every day she
is confronted with the problem of maxi
ing six yards do the work of ten, and
solves it,
These are not the days when a
dressmaker is given the goods and the
pattern, and faithful reproduction is
all that is asked She must put a
touch of artistic originality in every
gown, and it is the training in master
ing this little touch that enables her
to make home artistic.
She has learned to take infinite
pains and trouble, and she would do
the same to secure and keep pretty
home, though it meant endless labor,
tireless study and the greatest in
genuity
"She grows so tired of sewing that
in contrast with the tiresome routine
of the needles. cooking becomes recre-
alton and a joy She learned, as a
dresmaker to create. l have found
that every dresmaker who marries
carries the creative genius into the
kitchen, and becomes not only good
cook, but leader in devising dainty
and palatable dishes.
And last of all, the dressmaker
tossed hither and thither by the cap
rices of her woman patrons, grows
weary of the struggle and marriage to
! the man she loves become in her
dreams the happiest and most peaceful
of harbors
"She has been storm-to tossed and
when she finds her little craft an.
chored for life she appreciates the
peace and quiet and security the har-
Dor means to her, and becomes the
! happiest, most contented and most
appreciative of all wives"

"GIRL, DON'T YOU
WEAR NO CLOTHES"


Columbus, Ind, Dec. 1.-THE Rev.
F. l.. Dimmitt, a Methodist preacher,
created a sensation in this city by a
sermon directed against the mode of
street dress now popular with women.
A special portion of the sermon was
the quotation from the pulpit of the
following lines:
Little girl, you look so small,
Don't you wear no clothes at all?
Don't you wear chemise or shirt?
Don't you wear pretty skirt?
Just your corset and your hose,
Are these all your underclothes?
The poet closed with the prediction
that
After a while do, believe,
You will dress like Mother Eve.

(By Frances L. Garside.)


The man who starts out looking for
a wife is as helpless as baby in d
candy shop.
Every article in the show cases looks
good, and, like the baby he points a
finger at that which is most pleasing
to his eye, and, after it has been given
to him. changes his mind and wants
something else.
Miss Harriet A. Goodman, who is
one of the great number of women in
New York whose work is devoted to
making homely women pretty, and
pretty women beautiful, raped with
her thimble for order, and presented
to the man looking for wife the
claims of the dressmakers.
Il have had opportunity all my
life" she said, TO study the girl who
makes dresses, and it is my opinion
that every requisite necessary to make
a good wife in any calling is found in
the training the dressmaker receives.
"She must, first of all, be patient.
The dressmaker who lets her irritation
reach her finger ends spoils her goods
in the cutting, snaps her thread,
pricks her fingers and makes stitches
as irregular as an old time rail fence.
She must learn control of herself be-
fore she can acquire control of her
needle
"And / have heard" with a laugh,
that woman needs an endless
amount of self-control in order to get
along with husband
/ "She must be of high order of in
telligence to be good dressmaker
There was a time when woman
sewed up few straight seams, put "A
hem at the bottom and gathers at the
top and 10, and behold, she had made
skirt, and all there was to the fitting
was the measurement of the belt.
eff there is anyone who thinks a
brainless creature with scissors tied
to her belt, a thimble on her finger,
and pins and needles in her mouth,
can make a dress these days that
opinion stamps that person as dere-
lict floating adrift in some long for
gotten sea. 1t takes brains to con-
ceive a fashionable garment today 1t
takes brains to execute it.
THE dressmaker deals entirely with
women, and must make their tempera-
ments as much her study as their COM
! pleXions. She knows what will soothe
Mrs. AS spirits just as she knows
what will best suit Mrs AS figure.
She becomes diplomatic, and if her
