THAT LOVELY FROCK

told me that she was going to try or
a frock that she had seen at one Of
the stores.
I've about made up my mind to buy
1t, II 1t is still there" she said, "fol
it Is very stylish and pretty and is a
good bargain besides. 1t is only about
half what it was earlier in the season

How would you like the benefit OF

an expert opinion"
That's very good Of you." said
Louise.
So, an hour later, Louise stood be
fore me with a childishly pleased and
expectant look on her face. Although
she is two years older than l, Louise
often seems ridiculously young and
inexperienced.
well, what do you think of it?''
she asked, glancing into long mirror
complacently.
ITS quite pretty" / replied, "but
aren't you afraid that chiffon tunic will
be quite out OF style next fall? That
sort of thing has been worn so much
this winter that probably it win be
dropped Altogether"
You known / don't try to keep up

the latest thing or not"

be good style for as long as any one
would wish to wear 1t.
But my friend wears her things
longer than most persons" explained,
"and don't like to see her get some
thing that isn't especially becoming. ("
why. don't you think / look well
in this gown" Louise asked, rather
sharply. She appeared to be vexed
because l did not rave over the gown.

ERRORS OF SPEECH.
Common Abuse of the Verbs to Get, to
Lay and to Iic

Lay and to Lie.
The verb to get is one of our much
misused words. 1t means to acquire.
win. obtain. and primarily it signifies
the putting forth of effort to attain
something. Consequently it is not only
superfuous. but incorrect. to speak of
a man as getting drowned" or get.
ting Sick" and you may unfortunately
have cold" but it is impossible that
you have got a cold"
At this moment no exceptions occur
to the writer to the rule that got should
never be used in connection with have,
which alone sufficiently expresses pos
session. Say II have the picture" not
Il have got the picture" "The dog
has broken leg" not ''The dog has
got broken leg"
che Irregular verbs lay and lie are
frequently confounded. Lay is an ac-
tive or transitive verb, and lie is pas
sive or intransitive. We lay things
down or have laid them down, but we
and things lie at rest You lie down.
have lain down. will lie down or are
lying down. She lay down yesterday
and is going to lie down this afternoon
frequent error is to confound the
past terses of these verbs. One should
say. Mary laid the book on the table
and lay down herself" but the book
lies on S1e table Exchange.

BAD FOR THE STOMACH.
When Non-fatty Foods Are Intimately
Mixed With Grease.

When Non-fatty Foods Are Intimately
Mixed With Grease.
The stomach never has thefeast pow
er of digesting true fat. This is dis
posed of in the intestines. When eat
en- in the ordinary forms, as fat meat.
butter, etc. the fat separates out in
the stomach and does not in the least
interfere with the work of the gastric
juice on the other food, but when n
non-fatty food has been intimately mix
ed with grease the latter prevents tht
gastric juice getting at the food it
could digest.
Fish fried in oil or butter is by no
means the most marked example. as
the fat does not penetrate very deeply
Potatoes mashed with butter are rath
er worse. and minced vegetables fried
with butter are bad offenders The
reason advanced explains why pork
is difficult of digestion The muscular
fibers are mixed up with fat cells, and
by the liberation of the oil in each
tiny cell the eaten pork is made into
an oily paste.
A very strong stomach will do the
work required. but it is not fair task
to impose frequently. and weak stom-
ach will refuse to do anything beyond
reminding its owner by a few stabs
that it vii. not stand such treatment

WALTER JOHNSON.

Hn SOhNoONs
at the outset of the season when John,
son started to make recorls. The
managers treatment of the pitcher
ever since has been carefully planned.
Walter has been allowed to do much
rs he pleased. has worked but seldom
recently. and has not been asked to
pitch as often as he would like to. Ii
all this consideration has been shown
him for the purpose of making the
task Of signing him easy at figure
which the club intends to offer the
scheme will fall fiat, for 1t is under
stood that johnson has already de-
ctded upon what he figures himself
worth. Furthermore. phony offers of
100000 are not having the effect Of
making Walter think less of himself,
for If there is one point that he is con-
vtnced on 1t is that he is even more
valuable to team than Cobb. both In
30 far as ability is concerned and also
when it comes to estimating how many
dollars he draws into the ball parks
where he appears every season.
The Washington club without John
son would have. of course. been a
joke aggregation both artistically and
SO far as being an attraction is con-
cerned. and it appears to be in posi-
ton where it must comply with John
sons demands and pay him what he
wants. which. as said before. is under
stood to be $12,50O and a three year
contract.
Johnson set the seasons record when

When Walter johnson signs con-

for $12.500. 1t is understood from q
most reliable source that johnson has
fixed that figure in his mind and that
he will insist on getting II VI be Is
wanted by the Washington club. 1t is
this amount that Ty Cobb is believed
to be drawing from the Detroit team,
and Walter figures that he Is just as
valuable an asset to his team as Cobb
Is to the Tigers.
This information was gained from a
very intimate friend of the great
pitcher, who ayers that. when the time
comes to sign. johnson will name the
figure given. and that he will not stand
for any negotiations calculated to re-
duce them. 1t is to be S12.5OO or john
son will not play.
That johnson would expect SUBJ
