American Business Hustle.

Here is an instance OF the thorough

cial rivals do business. A leading
municipality in the far east Is order
ing a large quantity Of electrical ma
terial, and the head of the department
concerned was authorized to visit Ger
many, Great Britain and the United
States to inspect plants. He crossed
to America first and found that the
American agent from the city from
which he came had notified every
manufacturer of his visit and his mis-
sion. with the result that when he
landed he received sheaf Of letters
OF invitation from manufacturers. and
of offers of hospitality. AS result,
he saw everything he wanted under
exceptionally favorable conditions,
and every courtesy was shown to him.
The German representative Is doing
precisely the same, but nothing what
ever has been done by or on behalf
of the British manufacturer. II the
representative wants to see anything
in this country he has to dig 1t out for
himself. for nobody seems to care for
the business and nobody knows OF It,

decided opinions as to the duties OF
fathers to their little boys. The other
day he was describing to his mother
the sort OF father he intends to be
when he grows up.
I'm going to be the best father to
my boys. I'm going to play marbles
with them and baseball and every
thing they want me to and I'll give
them dimes most every day and tell
them they can buy all the ice cream
they want, and I'll get them each a
pony, and well, my boys'll have lots
Of fun"
Tommy's mother with n twinkle in
her eye said: But, Tommy, what II
you shouldn't have any little boys,
what II your children are all girls!"
Such a possibility never entered
Tommy's head. The suggestion was
appalling. A look OF blank ldismay
passed over the childs face.
Gee! that would be the dickens!"
he calculated.

FOR THOSE WHO EMBRoIDER
Expert Advice That, Carefully Fol-
lowed, Will Result in Improve
ment Of Appearance Of Work.

When embroidering cotton crepes'
marQuisettes and similar materials
first haste muslin underneath the de-
sign to be worked and work careful
" around on the wrong side and the
result will be beautiful work firm and
without q quicker.
To give machine embroidered neck
wear and waists a handsome finish'
embroider over them in white or col
or, saving the time of stamping and
padding. The result is very effective.
Instead of using embroidery hoops
haste your material onto. stiff brown
wrapping paper. It is easier to work
this way, and does not stretch the
material as the hoops do.
Use round corset lacing for pad
ding scallop embroidery. No extra
stitching or basting is needed. Fas-
ten the lacing to the materials where
you begin buttonholing.

grandma refused to let her go that

could 60 tomorrow. The next morn

happy in the expectation OF the prom
ised visit. Shortly after breakfast
she reminded grandma of her prom

would be obliged to postpone her visit
until tomorrow. Looking up quickly
her black eyes flashing with disap'
pointment, she said:

In spite OF the fact that figured ma

seasons past, writes Lillian Young, In

to use and also the most popular. 1t
has taken such hold upon the fash
