one clever adjustment of fullness. The

Who Are the BuYers?

Ninety per cent of the purchases
made in the shops and stores of this
country every day are made BY
women" This statement was made
by one of washington's most promi-
nent antics" who has recently re-
turned from a convention in New
York of those who oppose the cause
of woman's vote.
Apparently this fact that women are
bearing on the argument that they
should not have the vote. The argu-
ment probably is that they have priv
ileges enough without asking for
more.
But aside from the question of suf-
frage or no suffrage it is an interest
ing fact-this fact that women make
90 per cent Of the purchases. Doesn't
it mean that it is woman's taste that,
in the end. guides the manufacturers
of commodities and directs the mer-
chants who buy from these manufao-
turers.
Take furniture and interior fixings
alone. Women make 90 per cent of
the purchases of furniture and carpets
and rugs and curtains! Men are too
busy to go out shopping. Business
nowadays takes so much of a mans
time that he leaves the important
work of selecting the furniture for
his house to the women-to his wife.
his sister. or his mother. He trusts
her, too, and knows that probably
her taste is better than his, that she
will be able to buy what he will like
better than he would himself.
AS a result of this tendency women
have become educated as buyers while
men have not Women have become
discriminating. They have learned the
science of shopping. II is one of the
most important things that they have
10 do.

MRS. CLARA w. LOPB

Any man on the firing line will tell
you he would rather have tobacco than
bread"
You can fit a little smoke to a big
mans mouth. but you can't fit a little
shirt to his broad back
Il remember giving a Belgian SOL
der a Turkish cigarette, one of those
gentle, sweet-smelling affairs that you
see in a parlor with a thing at the
end opposite the fire. The soldier
thought II was candy and ate half
of it"-Mrs. Clara Washington-Lopp.
The most unusual of all the good
works carried on in behalf of the
poor soldiers of Europe is that which
has interested Mrs. Clara Lopp, a
prominent New York society woman,
who has just sent fourteen tons of the
best smoking and chewing tobacco to
Europe. The tobacco went by way of
the ship Rochsmbeau from New York
yesterday and will arrive at Havre to
be distributed among the soldiers who
are longing for a smoke.
The tobacco was made into cigars,
cigarettes, pipe tobacco. chewing to-
bacco, cut plug" long green" and
evefy other shape to delight the nos
trils of the fighting men of Europe.

HOROSCOPE.
The stars incline, but do not compel

Wednesday, January 20, 1918.
According to astrology this is a ds!
fairly fortunate, but care should be ex
eEcised in every important undertaking
since Saturn is strongly adverse. Early
in the morning Uranus is slightly evil
in influence. while Jupiter is mildly be
nefic, but in the evening Neptune and
the Sun rule powerfully for good.
Under Saturn's evil influence it is held
that the judgment is poor. A gloomy
view of life is likely to retard positive
action and it is wise to delay all affairs
Of importance.
Whilet his sign prevails colds are otter
epidemic. Danger from falls also is in
creased.
The rule is encouraging for certain
| business transactions, provided the ut
most caution guides all negotiations
Judges, lawyers. brokers, and bankers
should benefit
The evening is a most propitious time
for state banquets or other formal enter
tainments. The visit of a foreign en-
voy is foretOld and the sears declare
that his mission will be most important
Seismic disturbances are predicted for
Central China, Borneo. and Java.
A heavy drain on the United States
Treasury is said to be presaged by the
planets. This will cause serious prob
lens for the government and will result
in widespread criticism. An unusual out
lay for military matters is foretold and
the navy will cost immense sums, ow-
ing to sensational Incidents
Marriages will multiply, despite finan-
cial apprehensiOns, and there will be
many apparently ill-mated alliances
among the wealthy. The death of a
financier is forecast. According to the
soothsayers he will pass away sudden
ly and will leave immense endowments
to hospitals
Arizona, Montana, and other Western
states have the representation OF anxi-
ETY. engendered by a religious sect. pos
sibly the Mormon Church
The South is subject to astral direc-
tion that Is encOura ging. Revival of
trade and wealth through abundant crops
In the spring are indicated.
Persons whose birthdate it is have the
omen of anxiety during the coming wear.
Men should attend strictly to business
affairs and women should devote their
energies to domestic conditions.
Children born on this day have fairly
lucky stars to guide them. They NAV
benefit through marriage or NAV re-
ceive legacies. They probably will be
extremely extravagant, but noble, honest.
and kindhearted.

1t was gathered together by Mrs
WashingtOnLOpp, assisted by her hus-
bands careful eye and discriminating
sense of smell, after several weeks
travel in this country. Some OF the
tobacco was given in its present form
by Americans, the rest has been
bought with money either from the
pockets of the collectors or from the
other side. No money contributions
were accepted on this side.
Mrs. Washington-LOpp was connect
ed with the American hospital in
Paris. Later she went to the front
with her husband wnere she learned
how great is the soldiers desire for
tobacco.
Il am almost sorry my work here
is ended" said Mrs. Washington-Lopp
yesterday. 1T has been a pleasure to
collect the tobacco. because 1 know
what joy it will bring to the soldiers,
and because Americans have contrib
uted tobacco so cheerfully and have
so willingly helped me to get the best.
Il really think the soldiers suffer
greatly from scarcity of tobacco. Any
man on the firing line will tell you
he would rather have tobacco than
bread"

January 20-Susanne Wesley, Anne

The name of Susanne Wesley is held
in grateful remembrance by thousands
and thousands Of those who count them
selves the followers of John Wesley,
the founder of. Methodism. Susanna was
born in 1863 and she was married when
twenty-one to Samuel Wesley, the elder,
who was seven years her senior. Sam
uel was a poor curate in the church OF
England and the young couple lived for
years with what less capable woman
would have been actual poverty. 1t is
said that Susanna Wesley owed her con-
version from ''heresy'' to her husband.
Susanna Wesley had nineteen children,
several of whom besides the great John
Wesley showed unusual abilities. All the
daughters of the Wesley family showed
remarkable abilities, and they were all
highly educated receiving practically
equal opportunities with their brothers.
But in spite of these opportunities three
of them were married very unhappily.
Anne Jemima CIough. who was born
ninety-ive years ago today, was the sis
ter of the poet, Clough, and famous as
the first principal of Newham College
the woman's department of Cambridge
University, England. During her child
hood Miss Clough lived with her family
in Charleston, S. c., returning to the
