With the little money that Clara had
not expended on the pink satin and
spangles she went to the next town
new suburb which was bound to
grow within the next few years Clara
remembered that her uncle had once
said that there was good opportunity
to make money as florist In that
community, and for that reason she
went in that direction
She first made a tour of the place
and visited each florists shop on the
pretext of buying flowers. She then
went to a real estate agent and, still
dressed in her shabby black serge,
told him she wanted to rent a store
suitable for a florists shop. Before
the day was over she had chosen the
most promising location in town for
her venture Then, having arranged
for a weeks sojourn with poor wom-
an near by, she wrote to her uncle, de-
handing that he send her by return
post the small patrimony-a few hun
dred dollars-which was laid away for
her.
The following day, while she was
waiting for the money, she made out
a list of what she would buy with her
few hundred dollars. The list includ-
ed small new wardrobe first of all
she felt hopelessly handicapped in the
old black serge-the payment of her
first months rent, the purchase of the
simplest sort of fixtures for her store,
a small outlay for announcements and
the purchase of a stock of flowers and
supplies.
All this happened some twelve years
ago Today anyone who lives in the
suburban town where Clara Carrick
still does business as florist knows
that she has achieved success. Other
women have gone into the florist bust
ness and have failed, but they have
not served an apprenticeship like that
served by Miss Carrick.

While Clara was being curtailed ID
the matter of fresh shirtwaists her
cousins were dreaming by night ano
talking by day of the dancing frocks
they would wear at the approaching
college junior ball.
Il wonder why I cannot go to the
dance. too?" Clara asked her cousins.
Clara had a way of saying what she
thought, regardless of the probable
outcome. Then she went on, before
her cousins could explain:
eff you are going to say 1t is be-
cause I am not as pretty as you are,
you needn't waste your breath. For
an pretty. An old lady who came into
the store the other day told me l was,
and some of the students have said
nice things to me- SO there!"
Maybe you are pretty" admitted
the cousins, "but you haven't anything
to wear, have you? You don't think
you could go in your serge every.
day dress, do your"
1t was this speech that started Clara
thinking and started the train of
events which have brought her to her
present position.
Bought New Pink Gown.
She thought all day about it, and
at night when she was trying to sleep
she decided to take the money she had
saved from Christmas presents and
make a dress which would be appro-
pirate for the ball. Accordingly, the
next time she went to the city to
buy flowers for her uncle she made
tour of the fashionable shops, and
came to the conclusion that her gown
should be made of pink with gold
spangles.
She wasted no time, but bought the
pink satin, paper pattern and a
thousand tin spangles. Then at night,
instead of reading stolen textbooks,
Clara devoted her time to fashioning
that pink party dress, and after that
to sewing the spangles on till she
could keep her eyes open no longer.
The dress was finished in couple of
weeks, and for few foolish moments
she imagined that the question of go.
ing to the college dance was settled.
She tried the dress on and paraded
before her mirror and convinced her,
self that her respondent gown would
be an attraction to any student. She
decided to take her cousins into her

RUSSIAN WOMEN IN THE WAR
Do Effective Work in Bringing In
Prisoners and Doing Sentry
Duty.

London.-A dispatch from Warsaw
declares that the present war is grow
ing every day more like the campaign
of Alexander / against Napoleon. Now
the civil population Is joining in the
defense and among these are found
women and even children willing to
undergo the hardships even OF sentry
and outpost duty.
These women and children are most
effective, the dispatch says. They
bring in many German prisoners to
headquarters. The prisoners are usu-
ally safely bound and for greater Sc
curity their guns, though taken away
from them, have the triggers tied with
cord.
The devotion of the peasant popuia-
ton to the cause of defense is notice
able particularly in the Grodno dis
t-ict, where the volunteer guard has
rendered valiant service.

Like to See Homes in Movies

In different parts of the country
some of the wealthy owners of stately
homes and beautiful grounds have be-
come so enthusiastic over motion pic
lures that they have, figuratively
speaking, given the key of their places
to certain film companies with per-
mission to use them when needed.
They take a pride in seeing their
homes exhibited on the screen, and
naturally, to the moving picture pro-
Queer the estates of the wealthy are
desirable for several reasons. They
lend perfect atmosphere-no wooden
steps. no tin fountains, no plaster
cast statuary. The ornamental trees,
lawns, and shrubs, the private lake
with its water lilies and graceful
swans, and the substantial, majestic,
marble terrace, cannot fail to satisfy
even the most exacting critic.

Just by way of making sure his
nerves were steady, Dare Devil John
ny Reynolds went to the roof of a
five-story building in the heart of the
business section of New York city
and performed balancing stunts on
cornice extending two feet from the

breath out of thousands of spectators
who anxiously watched him from the
street below. He obtained three OF
binary kitchen tables OF which the
legs were not at all secure, placed
one upon the other, put chair on the
top table, placed the hind legs OF
another chair on the outer edge or the

Watched a French aviator being
fired at about 4:45 p. m. Four bat
teries were at him at the same time,
six or seven shells exploding at once.
There was still enough light to see
the shells explode. The firing was so
fast that l counted, and found that
more than hundred shells exploded
in five minutes. The aviator flew out
of range, but at 5:15 he came back
again, and, strange to say. was not
fired at.
They say that French aeroplanes
have a wire attached about two hun
dred feet long by which the observer
on board can flash signals by making
the wire spark. Thus officers all the
