you ought to see the things she gives
me- Just last week she brought out
an elegant waist that
Helen waited to hear no more. With
burning cheeks she ran back into the
sitting room. That INSOLENT wom-
an! That she should dare speak of her
like that. Never-NEVER would She
give her another thing.
She had spoiled her-she had been
too good to her. She thought angrily
of the blankets she had not put in
this week for fear of making the wash
too heavy She would put them in
next week-and the bedroom cur
tains. too And if she grumbled-well,
there were plenty of other washer
women.
The thought of Mrs. O'Grady and
Nora talking her over in the kitchen
made her wild. She almost wished
she had stayed to hear what Nora
had said; then her cheeks flushed
deeper as she thought how contempt
BILE was eavesdropping on ones SER

For the rest of the afternoon Helen
was in very unhappy mood. Be-
sides having the unpleasant reflection

tawdry ornaments she was incensed

with the lace yoke almost in pieces.
1t was past mendiES.
"No, | guess not You can give it
to Nora for busters" Then as Mrs.
O'Grady started out, us Edna better
today?"
"Oh, yes'm. I am hoping she kin
go to school tomorrow
1t was because Edna was sick that
her mother had done only half a
days washing yesterday, so she was
finishing up this afternoon.
Helen looked after Mrs. O'Grady
with a sudden inspiration. Wouldn't
she love these bead ornaments for
the white silk graduation dress" she
was making for Edna? They would
not he appropriate, of course. but
Mrs. O'Grady had marked fondness
for over trimmed, guady clothes.
Taking two of the ornaments and
rhinestone buckle, the one with the
stone out, Helen impulsively ran out
to the kitchen
ooh, Mrs. O'Grady, l thought you
might use these on Edna's graduating
dress. And there is buckle-it will
be pretty on a hat for you"
At least she had got rid of some of
them, and profitably, too, reflected
Helen, for next week she would put
in that pair of blankets. Mrs. O'Grady
was always amiabie, after something
had been given her, and she would
wash the blankets now without grumb-
ling

Helen CHANGED to be in the pantry and

THEIR MARRIED LIFE
By Mabel Herbert Urner

There were three of them on the
card, reduced from $115 to 29c each.
Helen had never cared for dangling
passementrie, but as these ornaments
matched the fringe the possibility of
using them was very tempting.
do you know, | think they are
manufacturers samples?' said a
woman, lowering over the counter on
the opposite side.
"Well, they are cheap enough, what
ever they are" agreed the woman
with her. eff you see another tassel
like this, l want it..
Mrs. Stevens nudged Helen with a
whispered "That is just what they are
manufacturers samples. That is
why they are so cheap
There is nothing that so appeals to
the feminine bargain instinct as
manufacturers samples The very
phrase implies cheapness because they
are only few of kind.
AN ORGY.
Before they left the counter, Mrs.
Stevens spent S4.75, and Helen, under
her insistent urging, $500, for va
riety Of buckles, bead ornaments and
remnants of fringe. 1t was a real
orgy Of bargains.
Helen had always prided herself on
never buying thing merely because
it was cheap. She had never spent
her money or cluttered up her home
with lot of useless "bargains'' Yet
excepting the fringe, she had no def
mite use for any of these things, and
she had hardly received her change
before she regretted her purchases.

The center aisle bargain counter
was strewn with a tumbled mass OF
beaded ornaments, buckles, tasseis
and remnants of braid and fringe.
Over this alluring mass was the
the placard:
Sample Lot of Dress Garnitures
One-third Former Price.
Mrs Stevens paused, glanced ap-
praisingly over the counter, and pick
ed up a card of dangling jet pendants
marked from "75c" to "15c."
"Those are awfully cheap" musing-
ly, eff one could only use them"
But you never wear black" dis
approved Helen, knowing Mrs. Stew
ens's weakness for useless bargains.
That's so,' reluctantly. ooh,
look" holding up remnant of
crystal bead fringe. Isn't that the
very same that is on your blue gown
1t was the same-Helen saw that at
glance. 1t was a short end, pinned
on the board that held the original
bolt, marked 1885 a yard" but the
remnant was ticketed ~ yard 45c."
Helen considered She had been
wanting to make over that goWn-to
get more chiffon for draped over
skirt--and with this extra piece she
would have enough of the fringe to
edge it,
well, I want two of these, anyway"
Mrs. Stevens had ferreted out card
of rhinestone buckles. And here is
some crystal ornaments to match
your fringe-you are foolish if you do
not take them"
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1914-08-08

"Now, let's see" Mrs. Stevens
glanced at her shopping list. "Oh, yes,
let's go to the corsets. l want to get
one of those laced-front hip confiners.
Here, We can take this elevator"
But even the allurements of the cor
set department failed to take Helen's
mind from her reckless purchases.
She could hardly wait to examine
them, to try the effect of the beaded
ornaments on her blue gown.
When she finally reached home,
without waiting to take off her things,
she tore open the packages.
Oh, why HAD she bought them?
Excepting the fringe and those three
beaded ornaments, there was not a
thing there that she could ever use!
When she got out the gown, she
in the fringe were a cream white,
while those in the remnant she had
bought were blue white.
The two other ornaments, that Mrs.
Stevens had insisted she could use
on 'something," were even more gar
ish, as the beads were iridescent and
the rhinestone buckles were cheaply
made. Even as she handled them one
of the stones came out
Helen sat on the bed looking
wretchedly at the glittering fripperies.
They suggested all the glazing tawdi-
ness in dress that she SO hated.
And she could not return or ex-
change them, for the placard over the
counter had said, "These sales goods
are not returna BILE"
Never again would she go shopping
with Mrs. Stevens. She could afford
to indulge her bargain hunting in
stincts, but Helen could not
Now that she had to send half OF
her monthly allowance to her mother
1t seemed almost crimi nal for her to
buy such things. She bit her lip as
she looked at the baubles, whose very
glitter was offensive. What could she
do with them? Every time she saw
them they would be a hateful remind
err of money thrown away.
'Is this worth ironing, ma'am?'

FRUITS BEST FOOD
FOR . HOT WEATHER
Flavor and NOurishing Varie-
ties Give Needed Sub
stances to Bod Y.

Summer time is fruit time. We turn
from the heavy diet that was SO pleas
ing during cool weather and wonder
why they are so different" Fruit and
plenty of it is what tastes good now
and is what we should have. Mother
nature in the first place was not think
ing of her human children when she
conceived the idea of fruits. Their
primary object was that of aiding in
reproduction. Fruits are the bats
that attract insects, beasts and man
that the seeds may be scattered
broadcast. In the same way the ma
pies have winged fruit, the flowers
honey, burrs the hooks that catch on
every passing thing, and night flow
ers their heavy scent and light color.
There are two classes of fruit: Fla
vor fruits and food fruits Flavor
fruits contain more than eighty per
cent water and some sugar. The apple,
orange and lemon are of this class.
Their principle use is to add variety
and bulk to the diet. Food fruits con-
tain more than twenty per cent sol
ids, the banana for example.
Food nutrients in fruits are starch,
sugar, and mineral matter, mainly
potash combined with citric acid.
flavor and odor, acids, and pectin bod
les, giving fruit its jelly-forming pro-
perty. Unripe fruit is liable to cause
digestive disturbances because of the
presence Of acids in too large guam
tity and cellulose or woody material
too hard and tough to be taken care
of properly.
Most fruits are delicious enough
without the aid of cooking but it has
some advantages, and many people
that cannot eat fresh fruit can freely
partake of cooked fruit. Cooking kills
harmful bacteria and fungus that may
be present and softens cellulose thus
making the mechanical process of di-
gestion easier. The average person,
however, can eat as much ripe fruit as
ne desires and will find it an excellent
diet.

A skeptical hearer has flippantly re-

FILES PROTEST FOR
TAXPAYERS LEAGUE
Various Objections to Handling
County Funds
HANCINC-FEE DISPUTE AGAIN
Matter Of Paying Officials Iacapsciia
ted for Service Also Dis
pulsd.

Annapolis, Md. Feb. 10, 1914.
To the Honorable Board of County
Commissioners of Anne Arundel
County:
Gentlemen:
As counselor to the Taxpayers
League fer Anne Arundel county,
hereby formally enter a protest
against any favorable action Being
taken upon the following propositions
now under consideration by your
Honorable Board, viz
1. The proposal to refund to G..
Thomas Beasley. ex-Sheriff of said
county, the sum Of three hundred
dollars, which was paid to him by an
error of judgment by your predeces-
sors in Office. and which he (Beasley)
claims was II ported to the Comptrol-
Ter of the State and paid into the
State Treasury.
And we, the refore, most respect
fully suggest that under the above
statement Of fact, your Honorable
Board is powerless to give any relief
by an appropriation of the public
funds IF said county for the use and
benefit of the said Bessley.
But we might suggest that Mr..
Beasley's proper remedy provided be
can prove the facts to be as he states
them) is to have the three hundred
dollars refunded 70 him by an act of
the Legislature.
q The proposal for the coIifcation
Of the Local Laws of Anne Arundel
county should not be approved.
(s) Because il will impose an alto
gether unnecessary expense ard bur
den upon an already very much over
burdened body Of Taxpayers.
lb) Because the taxpayers have a
paid counsel already employed at a
salary Of $500 per year, whose duty
il is to point out and construe the
laws whenever they need his services.
(c) Because both the Democratic
and Republican parties in their re-
spective platforms, have promised to
give the counties CT the State the
rightAof local self-government, when
they re ceive it, then, il will be time
enough to talk about codifying the
local laws of the county.
Cd Because the counsel of the Tax
payers League IS always willing and
ready to look up any law that the
Commissioners are in doubt about the
provisions Of without any charge to
the public for his servcita for so do
ing.
te) Because your regularly employ
ed and paid counsel could with the
assistance cf his stenographer, in a
hour or two, make and supply type
written copies of such laws as the
Commissioners especially desired &C
a reasonably small and insignificant
cost to the taxpayers of said county.
And, in conclusion, we make formal
protest to and demand that immedi-
ate relief be given from the practice
Of carrying physically iDcapacitated
officeholders on the pay rolls Of said
county, who reasonably can never
be again expected to perform the
duties Of their said offices.
