MoIlie came over last night and as
Dick had to go over to see Mr.. Selwin
after dinner, we had chance for
long talk.
She told me the most amazing tale
one that l can hardly believe; one
that am sure must be unique in the
experiences of girls who are working
in offices.
'Margie," she said, 81 am going to
leave my job week from tonight.

Eyes, I will, Margie. I'm going to
show that very plausible gentleman
that 1 am not afraid of him and that
I'm going to do my work just as I

Dad and the rest of you to look after
me. The mere fact that the lunches
and dinners to which l was invited
would exc out my little store of
money might have some influence.
l would probably say just eating
lunch with man is no sin and go.
'Margie, am no saint and, be-
sides, don't like the idea of staying
in a niche all by myself, but that man
down there with his gray hair and
face rudy with good living and his
oily smile which seems so utterly

CUBS MUST PAY HOFFMAN,

The high-handed methods of or
gained baseball moguls were rudely
jolted yesterday when a jury in Judge
Dolan's Municipal Court awarded
"Artie" Holman, former Cub star, his
salary claim against the Chicago
Cubs for $2,900.47.
Holman based his plea on "peon-
age" The salary claim harks back
to the time when Artie was sold to
the Pittsburgh Pirates.

club of the National League for the
season Of April 1 to Oct. Is, 1912,
calling for S5,O00," Holman testified.

Bad Form to Be Amazing.

There are no posers on the grand
scale now. Our musicians have short
hair and play golf. Authors cannot
be distinguished from ordinary men.
Art students are abandoning their
amazing clothes Even poets have
given up poetieal locks, and instead OF
writing pretty fancies worry US with
poems Of the outspoken natural school.
Music Is in tweeds, literature Is In
navy blue, and poetry Ia In a bowler
hat. Apparently there Is no chance OF
