JUST TIE MAN HE WANTED
Edward D. Easton's Story of Ills At tempt to Hire Typewriter
 in Southern Town.

Edward D. Easton, who claims that he made the largest single fee of any shorthand reporter in the world when he collected $75, ,O00 from the lawyers in the famous Star Route trials, was sent to report an important hearing in a small south ern town. The work was so pressing that he found he needed an assist. ant who could typewrite. Searching for such person, he sent out mes- sages, advertised in the country pa- pers, and made desperate appeals for somebody to locate the man.
 He waited at his hotel all day without sign of an assistant, and went to bed that night extremely worried because his work depended absolutely on his getting some one to help him. Shortly after midnight he was aroused by knock at the door.
 T am the man you want" said the stranger. q am the only type writer in this part of the state, and"
 "Well," exclaimed Easton eagerly, "can you come to work tomorrow morning?"
 T was going to tell you" con- tinued the visitor, ''that l read your advertisement saying you wanted a typewriter, and I thought I'd drop in to tell you l can't do the work Lafe Smith and me have got to go fishing. ."-Popular Magazine

Cleaning Queries.

My Dear Miss Doom:
Some time ago you Published a
method for cleaning a white serge
suit. VIII you please repeat it7 Can
o suggest anything that would take
a dark red streak out of a navy blue
serge coat? And. lastly, how can
clean a pair OF beaded black satin
pomps? Thanking you in advance for
your trouble, ] remain, A. Fl. q.
The white serge suit can be cleaned
by washing it with warm water and
white soap or by dipping 1t In gasoline.
II washed and ironed properly the
serge will look as we'll as It did when II
was new.
Try rubbing the red streak with a
clean cloth dipped in gasoline Or chic
reform.
Rub the slippers lightly with a cloth
dipped in benzine. IF the beads are
Jet they can be brighten by rubbing
them gently with a sponge dipped In
diluted alcohol and then wiping them
with a piece of soft black silk or wooden
goods, or by m%oistening them with
some good oil and wiping them with
channels skin.

A clean, fresh, dainty girl, spick ana

The desire to be beautiful is not a

THE GOOD SIDE OF VANITY

1t would be delightful to start a

Vanity" especially on the value of
vanity. One morning | stood outside a
famous high school and watched the
older girls. from Id to II. hurrying
into the big building. Some of them.
In their pretty, simple morning frocks
and tasteful hats, looked "as fresh as
daisies and as pretty as a peach"
From head to foot evera were as
splendidly smart and well-groomed, but
you should have seen some OF the
others.
Tive or three wore nlotor-caps and
iace-trlmmed fussy froeks, once their
very hest, but now decidedly shabby
finery. Others hadn't bothered to but
ton their gloves, two or three had
pieces of braid hanging from their
skirts. BY far too man girls ave the
impression that they had tumbled out
OF bed, tumbled on their clothes and
rushed off to school looking anyhow
If ! had asked these girls about their
careless dress they would probably
have said they didn't care a scrap how
they looked" They would also have
informed me that there were many
things in the world Of much more i'm
p~ortance than clothes. Quite true.
Nevertheless. il I were the head OF

Half a dozen full-length mirrors on the
walls would enable each girl to see her
self as others see her, from the crown
Of her hat to the toes of her shoes.

pies that govern the art of dress. They
should learn now to choose their
