here" he said, land she will fit you
to the sort Of dress suitable for you.''
When Fanchon saw the dress that
she was to wear it seemed to her that
nothing she had ever seen was SO
beautiful. There was gay embroidery
on it and glittering spangles and lace
that she thought must have cost a
fortune. And there were stockings to
match. and when 1t had all been fitted
and the custumer told her she could
go. her feet scarcely touched the
ground on her way home.
OF the week with mixed fear and JOY
joy that she was to have a chance,
fear that she might not dance her best.
But on the night before she was to
appear there came to her the knowl-
edge that she had no shoes to dance
in She had the beautiful gown, the
wonderful stockings. but only her old
and wOrn-out shoes.
She trembled as she thought that
after all she might not get her chance
If there was only some one who
would help me-" she said. And be-
fore the words were out Of her mouth
she heard some one say: Perhaps I
can help you" It was all dark in the
room, but as Fanchon turned she saw
fairy dressed in white and on the
end OF the wand which she carried
was FREELY. which lighted the room
enough for them to see each other.
You do not know who am" said
her visitor. but am q dancing fairy,
and 1T IL who am always with you

troubling you-you have no shoes-but
I am going to help you. You are to
keep quite still and not say anything,
whatever you see."
The fairy raped three times. and
strangest-lookipg little men that Fan
chon had ever seen. They were not
as high as her knee, but they had the
1olliest faces that she could remember.
They bowed very politely to the fairy
before she said to them: Il want you
to make me a pair of magic dancing
shoes. and they are to fit this little
girl. who is my friend.''
Fanchon watched the COLLINS as they
made ready. One took tape measure
from his pocket. Another unrolled a
piece Of the softeet leather and q third
made ready with needle and stout
thread. How fast they worked. It
was only few minutes before the first
shoe was finished and handed to the
fairy. who told Fancl1on to try 1t on.
It fitted perfectly. and in 4 minute
more the other one was done, and then
the fairy said: "Wiu you not dance
for the goblins p
Gladly" said Fanchon. and as she
began dancing her feet felt lighter
than they ever had before. and as she
finished the COLLINS clapped their
hands before they bowed again to the
fairy and disappeared.

BUSINESS MEN GET BUSY.

Think! While legislatures have been
busy enacting laws under which bust
ness was either to flourish or to Ian
guish, business men have done little
or nothing in an organized way to
make themselves heard upon these
questions, writes an editorial cOntribu-
tor to Leslie's. New Jersey has some
business men. however, who both think
and act. The New Jersey state cham
Der of commerce, one of the most rep
resentative organizations in the state,
has made a careful study of the legis-
lative program for 1915. and issued a
pamphlet embodying its views. 1t
proposes to ask legislation to stop the
needless waste of railroad revenue by
the repeal of the full crew law; to
work for a short. businesslike session
OF the legislature and to conserve tax
payers money by effecting economies;
to pass laws to safeguard the interests
of retail merchants, and protect de-
positors in private banks, and to adopt
a permanent policy to govern road de-
velopment.
X Those back Of this program are some
of the leading business men of the
country. including President Dryden
of the Prudential insurance company,
Thomas A. Edison, Hudson Maxim,
Austin Colgate. Ernest Biardot and
President Bethel Of the New York
Telephone company. When men of
this stamp take an interest in legisla-
ton. not merely as individuals, but in
an organized and representative capa-
city, demagogues who have been
squandering the taxpayers money
will begin to take heed. What the
thinking business men of New Jersey
have done, the thinking business men
of every state should do.

CARC1NoPHOBIA.

This IL what the doctors, with their
fondness f.r Latin and Greek names,
would probably call q condition OF
morbid fear. apprehension and panic
about cancer. A similar state Of mind
about consumption has been called
.'phthisiophobia'' As somebody has
probably said BEFORE we have troubles
enough already without worrying about
those We might have. Yet a rational
fear Of disease Is not an unwholesome
thing. It means that our intelligence
is wide-awake and ready to keep US
out Of trouble by watching the road
ahead. And although the quack and
the mystic are abroad in the land. it is
a good omen that the average American
common sense still relies on clear
thinking and plain facts to light the
way of life.

letip recently had some sound words
on this subject. There il no harm in
anyone having a wholesome fear of dis
ease.' 1t said. ASA matter Of fact.

in protecting and conserving commun-

very much afraid u. some diseases. and

ing health authorities to control small
pox" the absence of the proper fear in
regard to measles and whooping cough
has doubtless contributed to the mis-
TT
those neglected diseases.
Just now cancer is much to the FORE
front of public discussion. The Ameri-.
can Society FOR the Control Of Cancer
and many prominent surgeons and
leading newspapers are trying to make
the people understand that cancer is a
preventable and durable disease. but
only if tits recognized early and re-
moved from the body by timely opera
ton. All this discussion will. lead
many persons to think about cancer
who never Athought about 1t before.
Perhaps there is even some danger that
1t will cause something that might be
called "carcinophobia." This would be
not only needless but regrettable. for it
would come about as a consequence Of
very necessary campaign OF educa-
ton, as the Journal Of the American
Medical Association says. Only wider
knowledge of cancer can check the in
creasing death rate by bringing those
afflicted to seek proper treatment in
time. How far astray a mistaken fear
of disease may lead some persons is
shown by a patient with nosebleed.
who recently went to a surgeon in some
alarm in complete misunderstanding of
the warning that unnatural bleeding
might be a symptom of cancer. OF
course this patient was quickly re-
assured and no harm was done. But
even If a few people are momentarily
frightened, should this be considered
when compared with the saving of one
life? And there is certain proof that
early courageous attention to the symp-
toms of malignant disease is daily saw

FANCHON's MAGIC SHOES.

One day Fanchon was hungrier than
usual: she had always known what 1t
was to be hungry. but now she was al
most faint for lack OF food. IT won

not earn something by my dancing?"
and when the hurdy-gurdy came along

pennies bought at a little bakery around
