one or our young mothers who has
begun to think very seriously of her
duties and responsibilities to her child
said to me the other day:
Il wish you would give a talk to
the club some day, Aunt Chatty, on
being polite to children. l take my
little Frank out with me when 1 go
to see my friends, because I have no
one to leave him with at home, but
as he grows older he is beginning to

my nose and the color of my eyes and
how big | am for my age; they just
say anything they happen to think
about me. and I don't like it

children do not MINDFUL was think

that l would not like it if people talk

in my presence. Why shouldn't We be
as polite TO children as We are to
the grown folks"
All, why not? Did you-ever turn it
the other way round, mothers?
A friend told me the story of her
little girl who made a visitor so angry
by frank comment that she left the
house in wrath. The outraged caller

If we had any inclination to start
another society for the relief, preven-
ton or suppression of anything
which we haven't, in the least, for the
it is-we'd start the S. S. R. G. E
the Society for the Suppression of the

all we truly believe that it would be
doing quite as much good as the or

Gently organized society of women
whose aim is to urge preparedness for
future wars, or any of the dozen and
one newly organized endeavors to do
something for some one in an orig
inal way.
Most women don't realize what
far-reaching harm they are sharing
in when they insist on taking undue
advantage of the privilege granted by
the merchants of the city in returning
unsatisfactory goods. The merchants
got together last spring about it, and
tried to think of some way to inn
press the fact upon the thoughtless
women shoppers that the wholesale
practice of buying goods only to re-
turn them was one OF the most potent
factors in mercantile failures and a
great drawback in any mercantile en-
terprise. But so far they have not
thought of a way of Withdrawing the
privilege of returning goods from
the woman who abuses it without
Withdrawing the privilege from the
woman who uses it only for legiti-
mate grounds.
1t is hard to refuse Mrs. Y. the |

and then returning it, without also !
Withdrawing the privilege from Mrs
Y, who is unable to do her own shop
ping and who must needs have many
things sent to her on approval, or
from Mrs. Z. who in good faith buys
today merchandise that she finds to-

Ultimately, of course, the woman
who shops pays for this extravaganza
she pays for the fact that goods in
the stores do not stay sold, that a

Caroline Marie Of Naples.
Emma Eanes.

Greatest among all the women whose
birthdays fall on August Is is Emma
Eames, one of the worlds greatest sing
ers.
Among royal women Caroline Marie of
Naples. who was born August 13 I752
was one of the most gifted women of her
rank. She was a daughter of Francis
and Marie Theresa of Austria and sis
ter of the unfortunate Marie Antoinette.
At the age of 16 she was married to Fer
dinand. who was King of the two
Scilies.
Ambitious. high spirited and unscrupu
lous, she soon became the leading in
fiuence in the court Of her weak-willed
husband. 1t was through her evil infiu-
ence that he refused to follow the ad-
vice of his ministers and joined against
the overwhelming odds of Bonaparte,
who expelled him from Naples. Caroline
Marie was defeated in her ambitions. and
died in broken spirits. thus sharing in
the general Ill fortune that attended all
of the children of the Empress Marie
Theresa.

SUES FOR $4,000:
GETS ONLY 1926

The. case of Jesse Evans vs.. Alex
ander WiXom, for $4,000 damages, was
concluded yesterday afternoon, when
a jury in Superior Judge Coles court
awarded Evans 1926 damages after
more than hours deliberation.
According to the testimony yester-
day, Evans, who is negro, agreed
with WiXom to cultivate 40 acres of
land which had been planted to cot
ton. AS the crop was nearing ma
turity, WiXom, whose land is in the
Seeley district, came to the sheriff's
office and thence to the office of the
district attorney, where he asserted
that the actions of Evans had led him
to believe that the negro was men,
tally afflicted.
A warrant was issued for the ar
est of the negro on that charge and
he was taken into custody November
II last. For days and nights Ev-
ans remained incarcerated..
Evans, in his complaint, asked 50,
500 damages, in addition to punitive
damages of similar amount. He was
represented by Attorneys holland and
Ault.
