against background Of green. Masses
of violets hobnobbed costly in company
with the golden-yellow of crocuses,
and harmony wrought wonders with
the window. People began to gather
about the display to look, and some
came In to buy. Ann fingered around
for time to watch the effect. When
she started to leave the florist asked
her If she could not come the next day
and set the window. She gave him
to understand that she could only take
the time If paid. He agreed to this.
The sum was ridiculously small, but
she felt it was beginning.
Next she stopped before q drygoods
store, and noted the tumble of arti-
cles, and the colors that never should
have crowded each other. She ventured
to go in and make the same proposition
she had to the florist, with the same
result, except that she was asked to
come that evening after closing time
to experiment.
The proprietor said they had been
trying new window-dresser, and he
was not exactly pleased with his work.
Ann achieved result that drew ad-
miring crowds to the window. Frank
lin Budd, the proprietor, beamed ex-
pansively when Ann appeared the next
day, and engaged her as window-dress-
er at a salary quite beyond her expec-
tations. Before the week was out
she was dressing the windows of three
different shops. Her ideas were new
and original, and soon rival establish
ments were bidding for her services,
and she could charge more for her
work. The sewing machine had rest,
and maid came In and washed the
dishes. Franklin Budd, not wishing
to lose Ann, asked her to come into
partnership, but as he also wanted her
to assume the name of Budd, Ann Is
still considering the offer. She is so
much in love with her work, and the
delight of having money to spend that
she Is in no hurry to change her occu-

"Well, according to that version-it

Mary Follin had come up in time to
hear the last Of the conversation. She
was very much up-to-date, and very
handsomely gowned. Ann Taylor
glanced at the watch on her wrist, and
exclaiming that she had forgotten an
engagement, nodded to Miss Follin,
and apologizing to both, started quick
ly toward the hotel.
Royal Speed smiled a real welcome
to the girl, and made way for her to
sit down.
"What was the soft job she was
talking aboutf she laughed.

upon the features of Miss Follin.

The tenderness of the last words
was unmistakable. The girl gave him
an answering smile. The understand

They had been engaged to each other
for several months, but the time of the
wedding was not yet set, and was tao

to come, Mary Follin was the only
daughter of a millionaire member OF
Speeds fashionable congregation, and
those in the secret considered him a
very lucky man. The two sat for some
time talking, and then strolled off to-
gether.
Alone In his room at the hotel, Speed
threw himself in an easy chair and
picked up o hook. But something
seemed to come between him and the
pages. He could hear the girl say

Ann was woman over thirty, not
pretty, but healthy and wholesome,
with clear gray eyes, large mouth,
tOo-high cheek bones and plenty of
shining, Hght-brown hair. She looked
capable and courageous, but little sad,
disappointed lines were creeping into
her face when she was not smiling.
Ann had moments when she would

Benefit to Business.

The merchant who does the biggest
business buys the most goods, and it
is the man who buys the most goods
who gets goods the cheapest. Here,
again, advertising helps the public.
The jobber or manufacturer shipping
In bigger quantities to the bigger buy
er, receiving his money promptly and
being at smaller expense In various
ways, is glad to sell for less to the
business man who buys in big quaint
ties.
Advertising men know, Of course, that
If advertising were not public bene-
fit the advertising store could not long
survive, for nonadvertising stores
would soon rise on the busy corners
of our great cities and drive the great
advertising stores out Of business.

Naturally. war efforts at protection
should be kept secret, but it is neces-
sary to give peaceful traffic an idea of
their whereabouts In order to avoid ac-
cident. The double purpose is accom-
plished by declaring barred zones of
considerable extent Everyone knows
that somewhere in these zones the
deadly explosives are hidden and traf-
fic is limited to certain hours. Thus,
for example, the approach to the capi-
tai by way of the Potomac is defended
by q barred zone which includes the
government proving grounds. where
the big guns are tested.

Grease Spots.

Grease spots can be removed with
gasoline or with ether. But careful
manipulation is necessary. Gasoline
and ether must be kept away from
any fame. Pour enough gasoline or
ether on a tablespoonful Of starch to
make paste, place the paste on the
under side Of the spot and allow to re-
main several minutes. Brush of the
starch when it is dry. Ether evapo-
rates more rapidly than gasoline and
leaves no unpleasant odor.

JAMES GODDARD.

James Goddard, the great bass
baritone of the Chicago Grand Opera
company who is to sing here on the
closing night of the chautauqua, IS
intensely American and one OF the
few great artists who shows a prefer
ence for the work Of American COM
posers
Though his first successes were
achieved in Europe singing at Con-
vent Garden, London, and Royal OPP
era, Vienna, Goddard is native Am
erican, born in Tennessee, and his
strongest passion in music Is not the
operatic roles in which he has
achieved world wide fame, but the
simple melodies of the south, which
he sings with melting tenderness
that no audience can Withstand.
with perfect Candor, Goddard con-
fesses his special preference for ne
gro music. He knows and loves MS
southern darby. Recently, following
a concert at Salem, Ore, in which he
sang negro songs along with selec-
tions from roles in which he has APP
peared Jointly with Caruso, Frem-
stad, Claussen and Farrar, Goddard
said: >.
~ take negro music seriously. 1t
is good music, simple but sincere,
and II sympathetically handled is full
of genuine musical value. There is
no other music in the world like it,
We are glad to learn, therefore,
that at Goddard's chautauqua ap-
pearance here he is to give equal
prominence to three distinct classes
of music: Opera, such old-time ia
vorites at 'The Rosary" "A Dream"
Drink to Ne ONLY With Thine
Eyes," and among his negro songs,
Elaboration" "a negro sermon set
to music), and supreme favorite OF
all negro requiem songs, Deep Riv-
err"

BUILDING IN WAR TIMES.

TheIllinois legislature has aban-
doned its plans for extensive build
ling operations in the state depart
ments and institutions, and with the
ear of faith we already hear applause
the country over. Bravo! Let cities,
commemorative, and the federal gov
eminent follow suit!
To which impending outbursts we
reply, "Be orthodox, brethren, but
don't be more orthodox than his hol-
mess the pope" Paris has not sus-
pended public building operations be-
cause of the war. Neither has Ber-
| lin. To curtail such operations, II
by curtailment you mean putting a
check on wild and wanton extrava-
gance, is doubtless advisable. Self
confessed pork barrel expenditures
must halt and there are other pork
barrels besides the celebrated cask
of iniquity at Washington. FORK
kegs, we might term them. States
and cities each have their own.
Away with such! But not with the
long projected and long needed I'M
provements that have an incontest-
able value. Just because we are no
longer in a position to throw money
about, it does not follow that we
must scrimp or perish. Neither does
it follow that scrimping will prevent
our perishing. 1t may even help us
to-
AS we look at it, quietus clapped
on legitimate public building enter
prises would rank with the mania
for private economy that is now inn
poverishing milliners and dressmak-
ers and many distressed tailor.
Fine-is it MOTTO see her lady
ship economic by starving her mo-
diste! Inspiring to see her husband
economic by skinning his tailor! For
that is what it comes to. And they
call it patriotism.
Patriotism! Ye gods and little
fishes! One plain duty of patriotism
in war time is to keep the pot a-boil-
ing. Waste is wicked, but legiti-
mate spending a virtue. Within the
bounds of reason, go on spending. 1t
promotes business as usual. 1t
steadies the state. And what applies
to the individual applies equally to
municipalities, commemorative, ana
the federal government. Let there be
no havoc wrought in the building
trade and it's half-dozen allied in
dustries in the name of patriotic
economy. To put peremptory qui-
etus on legitimate and sorely needed
public building projects Is to sow
disorder, unrest and distress at the
very time when such calamities
would work a maximum of mischief.
Let us keep our hair on. In avoid
ing waste, let us also avoid the econ
omy that in the end spells extrava-
