What They Would Get.

Men are far wiser in this respect
than women are. A man is generally
willing 10 seem what he Is, and 70
live according TO his means. II he Is
a working man he dresses like a
working man, and he does not try TO
ape the appearance and clothes OF
milllonaires. but every woman wants
YOU TO think that she has Just strolled
over from Fifth Avenue and left her
limousine on the corner.
So she must have a dress Of the cut
Of Mrs Astorbilt, though she has TO
buy shoddy 10 do it, and she must
change the style Of her hat as often
as Miss Croesus does, though she
starves in the doing of IT, It's all
very sad and very foolish, and makes
one realize that the thing that women
most need TO learn Is the law Of
values.
II they would only take the neces-
stiles and leave the luxuries alone
they would find that they had really
gotten the luxuries too, for there is
no luxury equal to being really COM
Portable The girl who spends her
two days a week salary on toilet ar
ticles would ascertain II she put that
much money in good food that there
is no cosmetic equal 10 health no

good red blood Also that no per

Of a plentiful use of soap and water
And all women would find that If
they spent their money for the plain
substantial things they need, and left
out the eleganCies they crave. they
would have a comfort Of body and
peace and ease Of mind Of which
they have never dreamed The ache
in our hearts and the gone feeling in
our stOmachs are the result OF our

The real reason why we all com
plain so much about the high cost Of

our money on the frills Of life instead
of the substantials. We think we are

The Perfumery
Nuisance
By DOROTHY Dix

a P r r F L NJ f r Y manufacturer
y speaking for the Perfumery
Manufacturers Association be-
fore the Ways and Means Committee
in Washington the other day, made a
pathetic protest against increasing
the duty on the raw materials from
which extracts are made. And he
said he wasn't spea king for himself
but for the sake of the poor girls who
would have to cut down on their use
of scent if prices were raised.
Quoth he:
THE best market for perfumery is
In the factory towns of New England
Why, l know of typewriter who
spends at least two days salary each
week on her toilet articles / ask
that perfumery-thi slice of happi
ness-be preserved to the shopgirl
and the factory girl. for they are the
ones who enjoy il most"
Most of us who ride in street cars
and attend theaters and other crowd
ed places wish that the price Of per-
fumery could be put up so high that il
would be prohibitive, and that the
women and men whose slice of hap
piness" consists in going about smell
ing to Heaven could be denied that
malodorous joy. To use altar of roses
is a breach of the peace. To dissent
nate patchouli is a crime that should
be punishable by law.
However, that is another story. So
is the instance Of the girl typewriter
who spends the proceeds of two days
work a week on her toilet articles
II a young woman prefers to put cold
cream and rouge on the outside Of her
face instead of roast beef and pota-
toes on the inside, II Is her own az
fair.
A girl will have her bit Of ribbon
II she has to go without bread to get
it. She will shiver for lack of sum
cient clothing to put the money in a
string Of imitation pearls. She will
go without lunches through whole
winter TO save up to buy a willow
plume in the spring. She Will sit up
half the night, doing without the sleep
and rest she needs, to make her silly
lace trimmed garments which have no
wear In them. She puts her hard
earned money in fimsy silk stockings
and paper soled pumps that come to
pieces at the first wearing, instead OF
good, substantial stockings and shoes.
Nor is the working girl the only
sinner in this respect Practically all
women put ornaments and show be-
fore use. Give a woman a certain
sum Of money TO furnish house, and
she will spend three fourths OF II on
bric-a- brac and gilt chairs for which
she has no earthly use, while she does
without the things in the kitchen that
would lessen her labor by half She
will have a broCaded sofa In the par
lor that is too good to sit upon, al
though her family has not a single
comfortable bed on which to sleep.
Then there Is the woman who lit
orally starves her family in order that
il may make a show when It goes out
on the street. She denies her chill
dren the milk and butter and meat
that they need TO make them healthy
and strong, to put lace on their petit
coats and fur on their caps,and she
works herself into the grave and her
husband into nervous prostration Tor
the sake Of living in a little better
neighborhood and dressing a little
| finer than they can afford

At each plate were four wine glasses

Helen took a quick inventory Of the

excusable blunder of using the wrong

gown made a most Charming hostess,
but there was a worried, anxious look
about her eyes
Helen wondered what could have gone

unmistakably flushed and loquacious. II

drinks before dinner. And with all those
glasses before him-Helen could well

her husband more and more anxioUsly.
He was drinking much more than was
good for him. After the claret had
come the champagne, of which he had
already drained two glasses. As War
rem drank very moderately, It made his
condition the more marked.
Mrs. Thurston, who had been toying
nervously with her almost untouched
glass, now motioned to the maid, and
Helen heard her whisper:
Marie don't I'LL Mr.. Thurstons glass

It was a humiliating order 10 give,
and she flushed painfully, for she knew
they had either heard or OWNED her
whispered instruction
A few moments later Mr. Thurston
motioned toward his empty glass. How
ever. Marie, who was now serving the
salad. pretended not to see him. AS he
was in the midst Of telling a story,
Helen hoped he would forget about the
wine But when he raised his glass
and found 1t still empty, he again mo-
toned the maid, who was carefully
avoiding his glance.

There was a murmur of protest
from them all.

Governor Burke of North Dakota,

Miss Marian, are guests of Senator
and Mrs. Ed. Pierce of Daytona Beach,

they have decided to spend their vaca-

planned.
Governor Burke enjoys the distinc-
ton of having been the only democrat
ever elected to a state office in that
intensely republican commonwealth,
where he was thrice elected governor,
and declined a denomination, retiring
a couple of weeks ago. He was Col.

BEATEN BY 400 MILES.
A Record Not Only for County to
Beat; but for State.

To the Editor of The Times: We
notice in the Ludden items an article
stating that one of their teachers on
Jan. 31st finished five-month term of
school and in that time drove seven
hundred miles, and the correspondent
wants to know if any teacher in the
county can beat that record.
Yorktown school district has a lady
teacher who can beat 1t by four hun
dred miles.
Miss Dora Webster, on Feb. 14th,
will have completed the fifth month
of her term in the Enger district. She
takes her sister to her school in the
Uecker district and then drives to her
own school, making FIVE and one-half
mile drive twice day, making accord
ing to exact computation, eleven hun
dred miles. Besides they do all of their
own work and keep house for their two
brothers.
Now can any teacher, not only in the
county but in the state, beat this
record? One Who Knows.

WHO is HE?
Man Started to Walk from Chicago
to Oakes.

The Cogswell Enterprise of last week
has the following article IN which
Oakes citizens are Interested:
The train crew on the east bound
passenger train noticed man lying on
pile Of hay alongside of the track
about five miles east Of Forman trying
to keep warm with the aid of bonfire
made from old ties. When the train
came west this morning the man was
still there. The train crew notified the
railroad authorities at Forman and
handcar was sent to bring the man
into town.
The man was native of Roumania,
who had been in this country about
four years. He was on his way from
Chicago to Oakes and had been on the
road nearly four weeks. He left Chi
cago, he said, because he was out of
work and money and because there
were thousands of men there in like
circumstances. He had been in Cakes
before and had a job waiting for him
as soon as he reached there.
He was put on the west bound
freight, but as he had no ticket the
conductor put him off shortly after
leaving the station, and he walked to
Cogswell. Rev. Mr.. Maddox, who
came over on the freight from the
county seat, watched for the man and
when he arrived here he took him in
hand, saw that he was fed and provided
for, and the next morning he was given
ticket and continued his journey to
Oakes.
According to the mans story he had
walked all the way from Chicago, and
had begged or picked up what little he
had to eat His cheeks, hands and
feet had been slightly frozen, his
clothes had been burned by the bonfres
he had built from time to time during
extreme weather, he was unshaven and
dirty. He was given an entire new
outfit here and presented very re-
spectacle appearance when he left.
