WOMEN AND GOWNS.

And now the women of Amer
ica are up against it. They
must design their own gowns.
France is war ridden and the
masters of fashion in Paris can
no longer supply the demand.
France has our sympathy in
it's troubles, but we hail the day
when American women must
depend upon their own initiative
in the matter of dress, for when
American women undertake to
do a thing it is done. =
We have depended upon Paris
too long. We have accepted
the hideous creations that have
been handed US without mur-
mur, simply because they bore
the French label.
This is an opportune time for
the women Of this country to
use their own brains, and use
them to good purpose. They
need no coaching from other
countries.
1t is safe to predict that when
they do begin the designing of
their gowns we will have rev.
elation in the matter of feminine
attire.
Common sense and decency
will return, and it will not be at
the expense of personal appear
ance or style.
Tie future gowns to be de-
signed by American women will
bejustass smarta and just as stylish
any they have ever worn. with
the added advantage of radiating
refinement and gentility.
American women are the most
beautiful on earth, are noted
for their intellectual attainments,
and are possessed of an lndomi-
table spirit which knows no
failure.
The designing Of their own
gowns will be but an incident in
their brilliant careers: for even
now the world is PROSTATE at
the feet of American woman
hood.

Senator Smith Makes Statement.

Senator Smith gave out the following
statement to the Columbia Record Fri
day.
81 owe my election TO the farmers OF
South Carolina. They believed the
work have done was done in their in.
serest, and, through them, for the best
interests of the State. The farmers, in
this election, proved conciusively oy
their votes that they were broader and
greater than any faction or any divis-
ion that might be created among the
people; that they believe I have for
the past FIVE years represented the pee
pie of South Carolina, through the
farmer, to the best OF my ability re-
gardless of any faction and division:
For the next six years promise that l
shall continue to do the same.
81 look upon this election as putting
an end to factional strife and division
in South Carolina, and all the people
are to be congratulated at the out
come"

SHORT AND SIMPLE GooD-BYs
German Farmers Farewell to Only
Son and to His Horse Wa That
of a Patriot.

Going to war in the case Of at least
one Of the belligerents was a very
simple thing. And here is the proof
OF 1t compactly presented by Fritz
Muller: CATER Breitenmoser had one
son and one horse. Yesterday they
came and took way his son for the
war. The good-bys were said at b
gate. They were confoundedly short
g%ood-bys. CATER Breitenmoser
wasted no words. He clapped his son
on the shoulder. DO your duty he
said-no more. And his son was
ever a trife shorter about 1t. He
said nothing at all. He simply looked
at his father. But what a look! And
then he swung of at a trot and was
gone.
That was yesterday. Today they
came and fetched away CATER Brei-
tenmoser's horse-for the war. The
parting again was at the gate. And
It was c~onfoundedly short. CATER
Breitenmoser wasted no words. He
clapped his horse on the shoulder.
DO your duty said he-no more.
And the horse was a trife shorter
about it still. He merely looked at
CATER Breitenmoser. And then he
swung OFF at a trot and was gone

which your Imagination puts in It will
be gone when you reach it, that the
mirage which you witness today comes
from the distance, but that when you
arrive 1t will be gone, and you will
find only a common, ordinary day
practically a duplicate of this COM
mon. ordinary day, through which you
are now passing?
The trouble with many Of US Is
that we are waiting for the ideal con-
dition before We enjoy ourselves.
Somehow we annot seem to manage
to extract satisfaction and enjoyment
out OF the day that is so full Of cares.
anxteties and the humdrum routine
of life. We are dreaming Of that
Utopia somewhere in b future that
will have all the good things, the
comfort the conveniences and lux
uries without the annoying things,
the thousand pin pricks and the little
annoyances, the fretting and the wor-
rying and the anxiety of today. We
are dreaming of the condition when
u family will all be we'll, when we
shall be strong and healthy. vigorous,
and when we shall be rid of the things
that harass.
But there is no such Paradise
awaiting us. We are really now In
the Paradise which we pictured In
our dreams a few years ago. We all
are in 1t. This is the future we
looked forward to when We were. In
school or college, when we first left
home to start out in the world for
pY,rc0lvac ard &c e /, q or;ol 11y IifprQnt
from yesterday? Is it not the same
humdrum sort of life, with the same
anxieties. the same worries, the same
cares that we had then, and probably
many more? Life is made up of days,
each one must be a success or the
whole Is married. The habit, there
fore, of resolving when We start out
each morning that the day shall ind
us a little farther ahead, a little far
Their on, is a wonderful help. Life
as a whole will be a success II each
day is a success.
To-day is your day and mine, the
only day we have, the day in which
we play our part" says David Starr
Jordan. What our part may signify
in the great whole we may not un-
derstand; but we are here to play
1t, and now is our time. This we
know; 1t is q part Of action, not of
whining. 1t is a part of love, not
cynicism. 1t is for US to express love
in terms Of human helpfulness."
Today is the day that holds the key
to your future. What you do today
you will likely do tomorrow; what
you are today you will be tomorrow,
with simply one days growth or one
days retrogression. Today is the
bulletin-board of what you do tomor-
row.
BY what philosophy can you idle
away your time today, waste your
energy, squander your force, and do
your work like a drudge, and expect
a magnificent harvest Of success,
prosperity and happiness from such
a sowing? Today is the seed you are
sowing for tomorrow's harvest, and If
you SOW seeds of carefulness, accu-
racy, energy, zeal and enthusiasm, II
you sow optimistic good cheer, help
full seeds, you will reap the same kind
Of a harvest tomorrow.

Evolution Of Modern Trade.

In a jewelry store more than fifty
years ago, John Wanamaker was buy
ing a present for his mother with a
few dollars of his earnings. "Ill take
that" he said, pointing to a dainty
jewel and handing out the cash a little
proudly. AS he spoke, he saw another
shiny something that pleased him still
more, even though it came higher. II
think I'll change my mind and take
that n instead" he said to the man,
who had not yet wrapped up the first
selection. TITS too late now" snapped
the jeweler. You've bought this and
you must keep it," Doubtless it had
been in stock a long time and the
salesman felt proud that he had
worked it off. It was an affront to the
young purchaser, but it was the in
ception Of n Of the basic policies in
the Wanamaker system. The jewelers.
attitude reflected trade conditions
prior to 81, but all this was reversed
in the Wanamaker idea, whose creator
has lived to see his convictions adopt
ed as business axioms. One price for
goods and the return Of purchases has
revolutionized retail trade not only in
Philadelphia, where 1t met with bitter
opposition, but in all parts of the
country. John Wanamaker was one Of
the first merchants to recognize the
