articles in the December number OF
the National Magazine.
In this article Mr.. McIIenry is
painted as the Democrats in Con-
gress know him--a man of unusual
ability as statesman and there
fore a man of much influence in
! Washington. 1t is because Of Mr..
McHenry,s quiet diplomacy and
good sound Judgement that he is so
frequently consulted by the
Democratic leaders in matters of
public policy and because Of his
position on the all important

Our goods are not of the cheap

WORST SOCIAL REEF
BREAKING OF ENGAGEMENTS is
FATAL TO SUCCESS.
Young Woman Should Not carelessly
Accept Invitation and Then. Pre-
ferrins Something Else, Dis.
appoint Her Hostess.

There are many small and unseen
reefs upon which the girl seeking |
social success may come to grief, and |
one of the most dangerous is that of
broken social engagements.
In the present day old-fashioned
courtesy and consideration seem to be
asleep. or else 10 have left society Ell.

BILE"
As a rule this sort of thing is mex
cusable. OF course, conditions may
arise under which nohing else can
be done, but the girl WHO usually
sends a message of this Kind Is OF the
selfish type ana rarely succeeds in at
tanning popularity. She is thinking
more of her own caprice than OF her
host 5.

ter how well poised a hostess may be,
a disappointment OF this kind is upset
ting, and the selfish or thoughtless
girl who is the occasion of her embar'
rassment is apt to have black mark
against her name in that particular
hostesss mind.
The trouble is that the girl of to-day
is too careless in her acceptance OF
invitations. On the spur of the mo-
ment she accepts, and then frequently
decides that the whole thing is a bore.
or something else comes up that she
prefers doing, and she finally ends by
declining the invitation at the last mo-
ment, thus arOusing an antagonism
that can not help but handicap her
in her social career.
/ 1t is a simple matter to decline IN
the first place. A dcclination of this
sort a hostess has no right to resent.
but once her list is closed it Is anOth'
er matter.
A young girl recently remarked that
she accepted every invitation which
came to her, then picked those she
preferred, throwing over the others.
This sounds well. but sooner or later
it will result in unpopularity. Neither
courtesy nor consideration 5ustities
such course.
Naturally, one has preferences.
There are certain things one would
rather do. A girl should make up her
mind what these things are and &C.
cept them before everything else. but
she should not play fast and loose
with invitations she does not want.
Let her decline them definitely the
moment they are presented to her
and she will find she makes fewer
enemies, while at the same time she
pleases herself.
One hears the impulsive girl say
"Oh, that is all very well. but what
can one do in this day when people
call you on the telephone and fire in
vitations at you pointblank and you'
mind is as destitute of excuses as an
empty bird cage"
The best advice for this situation Is
to learn to think quickly and decline
definitely If it is thing one does moi
care to do. One can always have al
engagement TO sit at home and cult
vate ones mind.

he got to the foot Of the hill he was
SO weak that he fell.
Down he went on his hands and
knees, and inch by inch he dragged
himself painfully over the frozen snow
to the door Of the cottage.
Reed came out and was so startled
by the haggard, deathlike face Of the
trapper that he could hardly speak.
He dragged the frozen wretch into the
arm shelter Of the log built home,
made a roaring fire. thawed some Of

to bed under a pile of furs and blan-

How an Explorer Would Know When
He Was at tho Pole.
The question arises in the mind OF
every one who Is not an expert In
using measuring instruments, "How
do the explorers know when they are
standing on the rotating point of the
world?'
Perhaps there is 9 queer sensation
when one Is standing on the exact
spot, but then no one has located
either pole with such exactness. One
can. however. discover ones nearness
to this interesting point by several
methods.
