Why Be Rude?

Once upon a time I was taken for a canvasser. I had a bag which looked as if it contained books, and I called at strangers house to leave a book and a message for a mutual friend.
 The maid came to the door and l asked for her employer. While 1 was asking the woman herself came to the head of the stairs. "TeH her I don't want anything" she called down.
 began the maid.
 q don't want any books" per- sisted the Madame in a high pitched disagreeable voice. What made you let her in? I've told you not to let any of those book agents inside the door. They're too persistent"
 The matter was ultimately ad- justed, and of course I received pro- fuse apologies, but I knew that was the way I would have been treated if I had actually been a canvasser, and since then they have had my deepest sympathy.
 She Hadn't sold a Book in Four Days.
 A woman came to my door the oth- CT day with a book to sell. She looked very, very tired and I asked her if she didn't want to come in and rest for a few minutes, though I could not possibly buy the book. She accepted and sank into a chair with a sigh of relief.
 This is the first time I've gotten into a house today" she said. I've been walking since half past eight this morning Cit was then about two o'clock). and I got so tired finally that l sat down on some steps"
 Further conversation revealed that she hadn't sold book so far that week.

Harry Gray is a privilege to witness. In this eXacting characterization of
 the wife of a ruined fnancier she

 gaiety proved to have the strength

If People Could Only Be Kinder!

III IeOple Aouid oluy be hnueT'
 "If people cant buy, of course don't blame them," she said; but I don't see why they need be so sharp and disagreeable,"
 I was telling this incident to the Auth orman and he said, If Christ came to our town as a peddler, I am afraid He would think the world had not grown. much kinder in two thou sand years of Christianity"
 The other day I read a little item in the newspaper that effected me profoundly because of what (perhaps without cause) I read into it. A wo- man of sixty had been killed at crossing by a train. The bystanders said it was her own fault she was careless. The item went on to say that she had just started canvassing it was her second day out. Of course you can easily guess how I translat- ed it.
 She Would Have Gladly Done Other
 Work.
 People who are harsh to peddlers always give as an excuse that they might be doing some honest work (Why isn't individual selling as honest as collective sellingO l asked the woman with the book why she didn't get into something else and she said she didn't know where to turn and she couldn't afford to lose time looking. She would make an excellent matron or housekeeper, and she would love the work, but doesn't know how to get it.
 Of course one cannot always buy of peddlers, but one does not need to be rude to them. Some of them are persistent to be sure; but isn't it possible to combine firmness with a little courtesy and friendliness?

This is how the relations be- tween scurvy and the feeding of and exclusive diet of pasteur- ized milk to infants was deter mined.
 Approximately forty babies in an orphan asylum were se- lected for an experiment.
 Half of this number were fed exclusively on a diet of pasteur- ized milk.
 Half were fed on pasteurized milk and had added to their diet small quantity of orange juice.
 Nearly all of those fed ex- clusively on milk developed mild cases of scurvy.
 Those who had orange juice to their diet remained well.
 The addition of orange juice to the diet of those babies afflicted with scurvy cured them.
 The experiment was observed by pr. Alfred Hess, who, in de- scribing it before the Academy of Medicine. withheld the name of the institution in which the experiment was tried.

It's SO practical and proper in the
matter of style and the serge-and
silk suit is likely to remain for
ever.
But there are new variations, as
this sketch from Fashion Art League
of America will show. Jersey silk
serge in citron color is used and
banded at the bottom of the coat and
the bottom of the skirt with putty
colored gros grain silk.
The skirt has flare that suggests
hoops; the long hip point of the coat
is a new note and the rolling collar il
worth noting-it's new and anuch II
