"A EsCEssIoNAL."

 Girl of the Future, feared of all,
 Chasing the far-hung Fashion line, What awful things may yet appals
 Hung on your human form divine! Girl of Today, stay with us yet, Lest we regret! Lest we regret! The tunic and the peplun dies,
 The plating and the flare depart; Oh, what must we next sacrifice
 To future of a fearful art? Girl of Today, stay with us all, Lest worse 9befa11! Lest worse befall The blouse and bodice melt away,
 For ever fades the silhouette; Loi all the mode of yesterday
 Is one with puff and pantalette: Girl of Today, stay with us dol Lest worse ensue! Lest worse ensue If drunk with mad designs we loose
 Wild styles that hold no art in Such clothing as the Ffjis use,
 Or lesser breeds without the law Girl of Today, stay here with we, Lest worse may be! Lest worse may
 be!
 For foolish maid vino puts her trust

A BIG HIVE OF
 ACTIVITY IN OUR MIDST

Bridgeport's big Cheerful Credit Store is a regular hive of activity these refreshing spring days. Big as the sales-foree at Caesar Misch Store is, the mana cement says that they were almost swamped with business just before Easter, despite the bad weather conditions that prevailed at that time.
 | Every day since Easter has been a lousy one at this store of big values, ] which proves that those who didn't get their spring outfits in time for Easter are now going to the great Cheerful Credit Store and making up for lost time.
 One feature which makes this pop ula-r store unique among stores is their liberal terms of Cheerful Credit to all. By this method any one may go to sess ready cash or not, select all the spring clothing they need to insure their making fashionable, correct appearance and without depositing a penny down on their purchases, carry or wear them home. In return for this most unusual libera1ness, all that the Cheerful Credit Store asks is that the purchaser, at his or her own qoo- venience, srepay at the nominal rate of $1 a week.
 That this Cheerful Credit plan is port is. attested by the hosts of well dressed, fashionable looking people one sees on the streets eNry day. Many of these most finely essed men, wo- men and children got their good elothes through Caesar Misch's Cheer full Credit plan and are proud of it and their fine appearance.

IS HIGH SCHOOL GIRL
 TO BE AN OLD MAID

M M asks: Do you think there's any such thing as a girl becoming an old maid? Is it a possibility if a girl has good looks, true character, is ear nest, successful in her work? High school education, a longing in her heart for the right one and a home of her own some time surely aids her. in this regard. I am 20, have no beau This thought often comes to me If such were to be my case, life surely would not be worth while for me-
 The~o is hardly any possibility with your goodness and ability of your not meeting the right one'y and having d happy future. Always the unexpected happens in loves coming. Those who remain single usually do so from choice, having refused proposals to wed

PROBLEM TO TRANSPORT
 WHEAT OF AUSTRALIA


 London. April 28.-The problem of transporting the Australian wheat crop is just now occupying the atten- ton of the governnent1 and the ship owners.
 The exportabIe wheat surplus of Australia is about 3.5O0,0O0 tons Of which only about 100000 tons have so far been brought to Europe. To bring the remainder this year would re- quire about TOO voyages, and it is diff hcult for the owners Sto find sufficient ships owing to the general scarcity of tonnage. The distance from Aus tralia is about 12.o00 miles. as com pared with the 5000 miles which sep arate Canada from this country.
 The difficulty in transporting wheat crop is particularly disappointing to the Australian growers who increased their wheat area over that of the pre- vfous season by about. 50 per cent, in spite of the fact that they had to pay much higher rates for seed. fodder and labor.

OF OFFICE
 BOYS AT WINNIPEG:

5 Winnipeg, Canada. April B. There is a big shortage of errand boys and office boys in this province and in several other Canadian prov inces as a result of the war and so pressing has become the situation that many big business houses are substituting girls for the wElistling lads who so many years. held sway. One reason for the shortage lies in the fact that boys more than 1 s years old are eligible for army service and a large part of them have enlisted. Another cause is due to the school laws which in this province and in other districts compel the attendance at school of boys 14 years old and younger.
 The problem has been solved here by the telegraph companies who are Ee1np pIoyi1g crippled soldiers for mes senger boy work
