she was told to go to the bed room
to take of her wraps. To her sur

scarcely able to talk. She soon re-

An Extrayagant Daughter
By JANETTE BIERMAN.

In wealthy section of New York
lived rich broker, Mr.. Brandler, and
his daughter Edna
Edna was fond of asking her
father for money for clothes. Every
day she would beg him and say she
needed something different. Her
father soon tired of this and re-
solved to stop it.
One evening as Mr.. Brandler came
home Edna went up to him and,
kissing him. said:
Daddy, dear, I need two evening
gowns and two hats for my new
suit
Her father answered sternly: You
cannot have another cent for clothes
until / see that you can earn money
for yourself
She then made up her mind 10
show her father that she could earn
money
The next morning she went into
n store and purchased a disguise for
herself consisting of plain suit of
clothes and wig. which was blonde
and straight, while her hair was
black and wavy. As her father was
advertising for a stenographer, she
decided to take the position.
She worked there quite awhile, and
as she was home every time her
father was, he never suspected her
of working in his Office.
One day as she came into the
office she saw a note lying on the
desk. She picked it up and read:
Mr.. Brandler;
Dear Sir:--As we know you are
interested in stock, we have fifty
