If | could say one word more earn
est than any other to working girls
it would be this: Don't believe in
fairy tales. girls.
The story Of Cinderella and the
Fairy Prince is fiction. 1t never hap
pens in real life. 1t never happened
TO any girl. 1t assuredly is never
going to happen to you; so get the
silly idea out of your head and get
down TO the real business of life.
Do you know why the working girl
so easily falls a victim to the wiles
of any we'll dressed man? 1t is be-
cause she still believes in fairy tales
She really lives in a romance that
she makes up for herself. In Ii some
god-like male creature. who is a
happy combination of a matinee hero
and a philanthropic millionaire
catches a glimpse of her at her coun-
ter. or in her cashiers wicket, or over
her sewing machine. and he falls
madly in love with her. and marries
her, and takes her off to live in a
golden palace on Fifth av., and she
becomes a society queen, and has her
pictures in the newspapers every day.
That's the stuff the working girls
dream Is made of. and she's SO anX-
iOus to find this fairy prince that she
hts his cap on every man she meets
who looks like what she considers
swell" He doesn't even have TO be
deep. dark. subtle villain to deceive
her. She deceives herself into believ-
ing that a street Irritation means an
Overwhelming passion that she has
inspired in the mans breast; and
that a few JOY rides and a dinner or
two at a restaurant. and a summer
excursion means marriage in the end.
Many a girl has Weakened up from
her dream of the fairy prince to wish
that she had never been born, and
to find that her hero had just been
amusing an idle hour with her. and
when he had tired OF her, had thrown
her aside like a broken toy. careless
whether he had wrecked her life.
Quit dreaming. girls. Wake up and
face the truth. and that is that men
rarely marry out of their class They
may find the working girl pretty. and
piquant and her very unconvention-
ality diverting. but when a man of
family, and wealth and tradition mar
ries he almost always picks out for
a wife a woman who knows how 70
give dinners and run an establish
ment. and who can add her fortune
and her social prestige TO his.
of course there are exceptions TO
this rule. but the average working
girl has Just as much chance TO be
elected president as she has to marry
"a millionaire.
Look with suspicion upon every
man above your own grade in life
who offers YOU attentions. girls.

Considerable interest has been

The true art OF the musician was

support is more difficult than one who

Don't Believe in Fairy
Tales, Girls, Says Dorothy Dix

he is a wolf in sleeps clothing, and
he has exactly the same intentions
toward you as a hungry wolf would
have toward a defenseless little lamb.
Another great harm that girls art
less faith in fairy tales does is that
in looking out for the fairy prince,
who never comes. they only too often
overlook the honest young sutton who
is on the ground. and who would
make a million times better husband
than any romantic hero. Naturally,
if you were expecting to suddenly be
snatched away from your daily grind
to a state of luxury you would turn
up your nose at the prospect of
little fiat built for two.
That's why many a girl turns down
the good, honest hearted young me-
chanic or clerk who can offer her
only the love of his heart and the
work of his hands and the chance to
build up in life with him. Her silly
head is filed with fool dreams about
being a milliOnaire's bride. and by the
time she wakes up from her dream
her chance OF real happiness has
gone.
Still another harm that believing
in fairy tales does girls is that it
paralyzes their effort. Every en-
ployerer will tell you that when a
woman gets down to business and
gives her mind to ii. she can cut
circles around almost all of her male
competitors. Nobody can find out as
much about a subject as a woman
can when she really sets herself to
investigate It Nobody can remember
so many details Nobody is shrewder
than q. woman, or loves to bargain
better. No man can be as fanatically
intent on one subject as a woman
can be.
All of the special sex peculiarities
of women lend themselves to success
in business: yet. in spite of these quail
ifications women are generally paid
less than men in business simply be-
cause their work is worth less.
And the reason of this is that few
women think il worth while to ever
learn their business thoroughly be-
cause they don't expect TO follow it
except for a little while They are
depending on somebody else TO come
along and support them, and bestow
upon them the money they want. in
stead of earning it themselves.
It's the fatal belief in fairy tales
again. and if the time ever comes
when girls realize that there's going
to be no magic wand business in
theirs and that the only way that
their serge suits Will be changed into
spangled robes. and their street car
into a limousine, is by their own good
work. then we shall not have TO pass
laws securing a minimum wage for
girls. They'll earn a salary, with
frills on il. for themselves

Must Declare Baggage Value.

In order to carry out the provision.
of the Cummins Amendment to the
Interstate Commerce Act, the Penn.
sylvania Railroad is now compelled tc
require all persons checking baggage
for interstate transportation to sign 9
declaration of its value. Forms fol
this will be supplied by the baggage
agents.
In view of the very great inconven-
fence which it will doubtless cause
passengers, and the expense to the
railroads, because of the clerical work
entailed, the Pennsylvania Railroad
will require the signing of the declara-
ton of the value of baggage only
where specifically demanded by the
law-that is, on baggage checked for
interstate transportation.
Heretofore, under its own rulings,
the railroad has limited its liability for
a piece of baggage to 500. Under
the Cummins Act, carriers cannot
limit the liability for damage or loss
to baggage unless they obtain from
each person checking baggage a dec
laration of its value. This value then
constitutes the maximum amount re-
coverable from the company.
Up to value of 500 there will be
no insurance charge to the owner of
the baggage, but if the value of
piece of baggage is declared to be in
excess of 500 charge of ten cents
for each 500 or fraction thereof over
this amount will be levied in consider
alton of the extra liability assumed.
The act makes it misdemeanor for
passengers to misrepresent the value
of baggage.
One result of the workings of the
Cummins Act will be that passengers
will have to allow themselves more
time for the checking of baggage at
stations. The company anticipates
that there will be many instances
where passengers will be irritated be-
cause they are required to fill out a
declaration of the value of the bag
gage. For that reason, it is en-
deavoring to acquaint the travelling
public as much as possible with the
provisions of this law, which leaves
the railroad no course to pursue but
that outlined above.
The company has issued complete
instructions to baggage agents and
baggage masters covering the provis-
ions of the Cummins Act which relate
to the checking of baggage.

Blessed Are the Peacemakers.

A friend of THE NEWS has sent q
poem which he thinks appropriate to
the present conditions, and we cheerfully
give it place in this paper. 1t bears
the heading at the top of this article
and reads thus:
How long shall Thy anointed dare
With silence sanctify the sword?
How long Thy bloodless creed declare
Blind to the blood around them poured?
How long with these wilt Thou forbear?
How long, o Lord?
How long shalt Thon, the Prince of Peace,
By slaves OF slaughter be adoredf
How long shall cant Of Thee increase
While what Thou art is all ignored3
How long before these things shall cease ?
How long, o Lord?
They have betrayed Thee for fee,
Their riches upon earth art stored.
With Cain they cast their lot, and he
Shall surely give them their reward.
Arise and drive them forth from Thee.
Arise, o Lord.

Coles, who are officers in the business Of
C. b. Coles & Sons Company.
Beginning tomorrow, June 9th, mer-
chants of Moorestown will close their
stores at o'clock during June, July
and August. This will give them
selves and their employees much
needed rest and is in line with better
ment for all as evidenced by the gen.
eral move on similar lines throughout
the country.

Political Notes.

Political matters appear to be at Q
standstill just at present without much
commotion.
Harvey Darnell, of Mount Laurel,
may be considered in the field for the
Republican nomination for Assembly
man. Burlington county's last farmer
representative" was Benjamin d. She'd
aker, who served ten years ago.
Certain newspapers are continually
spreading the report that former Govern
or Stokes will be candidate for Vice
President of the United States on the
Republican ticket. Mr.. Stokes SAYS he
does not have any thoughts that way,
and that ought to settle it. When the
time comes it will be found that the for
mer Governor will be a candidate for
United States Senator to succeed that
big joke-James Martine-and it will be
found that there will be many of New
Jerseys citizens who will aid in bring
ing such a result about.
A. Trimble, of Elizabeth, spent last
Wednesday with Senator Blanchard H.
White, who is one of Mr.. Trimble's per-
sonal friends. Mr.. Trimble visit to
Mount Holly was for the purpose of
starting circulation and advertising
for the State Republican NeDs,
the official organ of the G. o. P. in the
state. He expressed great confidence
when asked if the party in Burlington
county was in good shape. 81 have been
in your county three days and / have
every reason to believe that the voters of
Burlington will elect Republican sena-
tor and assemblyman next fall. have
met active party workers in every section
OF the county, and they are free from
factional quarrels, and have been I'M
able to find any dissension existing in
our ranks" he said. Mr.. Trimble is
general advertising and circulation
manager of the State Republican NeaOs.
