Don't have time to get discon-

that I am not stenoging I have to
be minding my P's and as so that
the boss will not catch me nap
ping and take me out to lunch.
Hes a wonder. that boss of
mine. | can see clearly why he
is called the slickest broker on
the street; he wiggles out of a
situation SO easily and eleverly.
He has been very nice TO me,
but he has one nasty habit of not
doing anything all day and then
beginning to sit up and dictate all
his letters after five o'clock in
the afternoon
1.-THE other day thought /
was going TO lose my job sure. as
he had drawled around all the
morning every little while saying
how sorry he was that I had TO
work so hard. I told him that he
need not worry about me, that
the work was not hard and /
liked 1t very much; and me,
little girl 7'-he asked softly.
" Well, you see, I never had a
boss before, so ! don't know how
you stack up beside the others.

not to notice anything and went
on with my work.
"Margie, do women have to go
through life pretending not to
notice?
Mother pretends not to notice
that father is tired and half sick I;
Mary pretends not to notice that
Jack is tired of her; You pretend
not to notice when Dick frowns
and swears. We all pretend not
to notice something with every
man we meet and the man always
knows that we are pretending
and he in his turn pretends that
he doesn't know that we have no
ttced and are only pretending.
After this little depression I'll
get back to the boss.
The next day he commenced to
dictate letters about half past
eleven and dictated constantly un-
til after one. Then he looked up
as though he had not thought of
it before and said. oh. l did not
know il was so late, just put on
your hat and come to lunch with
me and we will finish after
No, thank you, Mr.. Denton.
But YOU are going to lunch

all the fascination of a discov-
cry in an unknown land.
The clever girl will never
foist her opinion upon a man
against his inclination.
Rather she will make him
thing her opinions are his.
But that is not strange"
she exclaims.
Yes IL is, for you may be sin
eere in your opinions. but under
stand il requires some diplomacy
to make others share them.
The girl who laughs easily,
who is always good natured under
all circumstances. is the girl who
is sure to be able to pick and
choose among many the man she
loves.
Cleanliness is a great factor in
holding the love of a man, for
no matter how slovenly he Is
himself, he expects that his eyes
must be gladdened by the i'm
maculate grooming of the woman
who attracts and interests him.
Good health n necessary
to the sum of attraction
which holds a man, for,
whatever he may think con-
sciously, sub-consciously In
every man Is the feeling that
the mother of bis children
must be healthy and strong.

Mr. Wilson referred to the new tariff
law. the new currency law, the new
trade commission law and the labor pro-
visions of the new antitrust law as the
means through which "the soil has
everywhere been laid bare out of which

added that undoubtedly the means by

TO SUE NEW HAMP-
SHIRE FOR RIVER LAND
State of Vermont Seeks to Establish
Boundary Line Between the Sister
States and Will Take the Case
to Supreme Court

St Johnsbury, Nov. lS.--Governor
Fletcher has requested Alexander Dun
nett 10 bring suit against the state of
New Hampshire by the state OF Vermont
to establish the boundary line of the
Connecticut river between the two
states. Mr. Dlnnett viii at once notify
the attorney general of New Hampshire
of the proposed action and then 90 to
Washington TO enter motion before
the United States supreme court for a
suit in equity. The supreme court will
hear the motion for trial and later ar
range for hearing it.
This suit is the result of the failure of
the commissions from the two states to
agree upon establishing the boundary
line, and it will be remembered that Mr..
Dunnett was the chairman of the com
mission from the state, the others being
Congressman-elec Dale and r. H. Bah
bitt OF Bellows Falls. The law which
provided for the creation OF the boun-
dary commission further provided that in
case OF disagreement litigation might
then be commenced upon the direction of
the governor. At the present time the
line works injustice upon some
on the Vermont side as it is
now taxed in both states.
