They say that woman is just natur-
ally vain, but the S. r. heard a story
today which disproves that statement
in at least one case.
The wife of state official went to
assist at the governors reception last
winter without so much as a glance in
the mirror at the new gown which she
had had made for the occasion. 1t
happened this way: The dresSmaker
came out to see that it was properly
put on, and just about the time that
she had completed the task with the
remark. 1T is a little tight in one
place, but nothing serious" echoes
from the room in which the state Of
fetal was dressing told of trouble
there. The wife rushed in to find that
her order for new vest for her hus-
band had been filled by one for a fat
man and the husband is thin.
BY the time this trouble was ar
ranged with the aid of safety pins, the
car was at the door and, blissfully un-
conscious of the looks of her own gar
ment, the wife went to the party and
had a grand time. But the next time
she started to wear her gown she dis
covered that it was a ridiculous mis-
fit She can't imagine why they let
her remain at the party and has de-
cided that vanity has its virtue after
all.
