The millinery buyer had ordered
several model hats from Paris, which
were offered for sale at $500 eacn.
one Of the best customers of the
store ordered two of these hats
charged to her account and sent home.
The buyer of this department WAS a
dinner that night at the Hotel 81.
Regis. He saw the lady at a distant
table wearing one of the hats. Next
dav both hats were returned to him.
The buyer made an attempt 20 get
the lady on the telephone. After I'M
pertuning her several times she called
in reference to the matter. He told
her frankly that he could not take the
hats back. as they had been worn. she
denied it and appealed TO the head Of
the house.
The proprietor requested the buyer
TO take the hats back as a matter OF
policy. The buyer became furious and
informed the owner of the store that
unless the hats were taken and paid
for he would resign. The proprietor
told him to send the hats to the head
office and he would do what was ne
cessary. The buyer received Il check
the next day for 5000. 1t was slSned

training which lifts It's possessors
above the lure of the accidental ana
the non-essential to the ability TO

1t is for this reason that historians
attribute to them so large share III
the successful development of our re-
publican form of government.
"The future will have even greater
need for this influence than has the
INST. As Professor Gilbert Murray
said after his visit to this country
wear ago, Great instrgent forces are
at work in the United States and cltI-
zenship will require in the future
finer training and vision than in the

Worst Kind of Rum Shops.

TO which our down river. contempor-

clubs" will be forced to become more
or less accurate limitations of the

No part of honest enforcement of the
prohibitory law in Maine would please
your down river contemporary more
than that. A little of the "old time
Washingtonian societies" atmosphere
abo1it many Maine clubs would make
such clubs infinitely more respectable.
We consider the booze clubs promoted
by the liquor interests for dry terri
tory. to be the very worst type of rum
shop and to be blamed for more habit
uai drinking, more drunkenness, more
delinance of law. more cultivated GUS
sedness, more human suffering, in the
middle classes than is produced by
any other branch of the evil.
Men who value their own standing
in communities, who respect their
families. who are honest and patriotic
should resign from clubs or orders that
violate the laws of the State and con-
stitute blot on morality and decen-
oy. OF course it Is difficult for the
average genial citizen who happens to
be member of such organization. to

The rum traffic as now carried on
must go down before the tide of de-

fellow.
Clean up the booze clubs or reduce
the membership to the actual booze

We are confident that Sheriff Ferd
