the good old English. The gentle ivy
as Ginger can cling just as well TO a

pole as to an oak. and it don't grow
enough grapes, at that, to feed doodle

The only use the well-known ivy is
to the oft-praised oak is when said
oak is about six hundred and forty
years old and hasn't enough life left to
grow leaves. Then the ivy, can cling up
the old stump and furnish a sort of
vegetable wig at reduced rates; but when
it comes to vines a good old watermelon
vine can give the ivy cards and spades,
and it don't care whether there is an
oak within forty miles or not. Believe

dressmaker's craft.
1t is said that many welI-to-do Ameri-
can women who usually return from Eu-
rope to the United States with twenty
trunltfuls of dutiable clothes will this
year, of necessity, return without any
baggage. They will need clothes and
so American dressmakers will be called
to make them. So perhaps Kirkman's,
a big American dressmal<ing house, will
have all the work it can handle this
autumn without Miss Nelson's help. But
that does not make Miss Nelson's part
in Kirkman's remarkable rise any the
smaller.
Early last September, on one of the
returning steamers from Europe, there
was gathered the usual crowd of we'll
TODD returning tourists that fills the
transatlantic floating palaces.
None among them was better dressed
than Miss Nelson. She was a good
. looking young woman and she wore her
clothes with the indefnable air of a
woman born with a taste for dress.
What fashionable French frocks she
wears" was the general comment on
Miss Nelson that passed from deck
chair to deck chair.
Her clothes always suited the occa-
zion. Her dinner dresses were as dainty
IS her deck clothes were substantial. But
everything she wore was smart and be-
toming.
Miss Nelson was dignifed, but she
had charmingly friendly manner. And
a couple of days after leaving port sew
ersl chance acquaintance got up cour-
age to ask Miss Nelson the name of the
French dressmaker she pztronized.

came the disagreeable aspects of her
self-made position.
Today Miss Nelson is as much a part
of Kirkman's as he is himself. The
trial trip to Europe last summer was
her idea. 1t was only one OF many in
genious plans she has developed for
making and keeping trade. And it was
successful. so decidedly so that Miss

Owing to the death of Marshal Hen

OF the United States and its posses
sessions in 1910 was 101 1920; so

Estimates Of population are requir-

computing these estimates. II Is the
