 In the depth of her heart Cora felt sorry for the women of the defeated side. She well known that Mrs. Rourke, too. had gone through a siege, and that her tears and surrender at the outcome of the election had the bitterness of defeat to give them du- ration. Cora even felt a desire to go to Mrs Rourke and try ts give her heart.
 But the blood of battle still boiled in David. We've licked Tim Rourke al the polls" he said. his face unpleasant with fighting greed. Now we'll break them in the courts. They have let themselves in for a ruinous islander suit and I'm bringing action at once My lawyers tell me it's only question of how much damage the verdict will award. And there may be jail sequel for Mir. Timothy Rourke. And when I get through with him Carter Brett will follow up with another suit. Ii there's anything left of them then.

Taking Ones Husband Shopping

IdklHg One s HuSDand SnOpplng Simeon Strunsky in Harpers Magazine.
 As to the advisability of taking ones husband to the shops, much may be said on both sides. On the one hand, it is certain that after he has spent three hours in chair while his wife tries on spring suits, man will have very definite idea of what women suffer in the daily task. The next time his wife comes home from the shops with a headache he is likely to be more sympathetic But then again it may be that the memory of his own bitter ordeal will prevail, and he will carry away with him more vivid sense of the utilities in which the life of wom- an is spent. It all depends on the man, of course. But the husband endowed with just a bit of philosophic reflec- tion, planted three solid hours in a tapestry chair. in an audience of 300 women and 50 salesgirls, will watch the strained and tired faces, the try ingS-on and divestings, the search aft CT the unattafnable ideal, the final purchase made more out of weariness than out of satisfaction; and he can not help asking himself For whom is it all?" And he will say to himself
 
 thoughtful. On the whole, a univer- sity extension course in shopping prac- tice and observation would be good for the average man. The next time he speaks to a well -dressed woman at dinner he will know what it costs to make the world beautiful for him. He may thereupon decide to get on with less beauty or else he will be more ready to make allowances for womens nerves. But I am mt q11re
 Taking along ones husband to the store as critic and appraiser is of no use at all. Tn the first place, his prin- ciples of criticism are utterly unlike woman's. His criticism is of the romantic, impressionistic school He looks at his wife in the green cloak with her edging and says, q like that Or else he says, "You look well in that" As if the mere fact that a -wom- an looks well in a green coat, or that she likes it. were the deciding factor. Woman belongs, in the matter of dress. to the scientific school of criticism which bases itself on universal prin- clples-Aristotle, Taine. Brunetiere. It is criticism which does not ask whether woman looks well in green cloak trimmed with fox. but says How does the green cloak fit into that woman's lire, her temperament her likes, her friends, her duty to her family and to society, on the one hand; and how near Is it in danger of being duplicated by the woman next door, on the other hand? A man likes his wife's new dinner gown when it looks swell on his wife in the shop. A woman is bound to think of the gown in relation to the wallpaper and the lights at home, the fact that she had a dark red dinner gown year before last the fact that her color is somewhat higher than it was two years ago, that she has taken on three pounds In weight, that her husbands income has ma terially increased since last year, and that next year people will be wearing greens and purples.

POLIO SPOILS PLANS
OF TRADE COUNCIL
Labor Day Celebration At
Loop Park Has Been
Abandoned.

At a meeting held yesterday after
noon Of the Monongahela Valley
Trades and Labor Council, it was de-
clded to cancel all Labor Day plans
that had heretofore been worked out
for a big demonstration at Loop
Park. This decision was made after
considering the many difficulties I'M
der which the demonstration would
bO given.
Representative London and Con-
gresham NJ. NJ. Nicely were among
the prominent speakers that had been
booked for the occasion. In case Con-
gress is in session there is a posi-
bility that neither Of these two men
could be present.
Because of the infantile paralysis
situation the wives of the working
men would not attend with their
children, for whom large part OF
the program was to be given.
The Trades and Labor Council also
feels that because of the big celebra-
ton in honor of the departing soldiers
which is to be held at Loop Park next
Sunday, there should not be another
demonstration.
Those in charge have not givin up
all hopes, however, of having Repre-
sentative London and Congressman
Nicely speak to them. A meeting
sometime later with these two speak
ers is being considerd.

NJ. 8. Vangilder, who lives In Win
field district near Frostburg, was in
town Saturday trying to find out some
thing about caterpillar which has just
destroyed a fine young cedar tree that
grew upon his place. He had some OF
the pesky things with him in small
glass jar but he was not able to in
crease his own knowledge to any great
degree. The worms seem to be entire
ly new in this section.
The most striking thing about them
is that they travel about in the cocoon
which, although it is covered over with
the fine foliage of the cedar tree, so
that it looks like a little ball of the
needlelike leaves of the cedar, is quite
pliable. With his head sticking out of
one end the worm manages to crawl
about with considerable facility. AT
times one of the occupants of these
queer balls will attach line to the
limb of the tree and spin himself q ca
BILE two or three feet long from which
he will hang and sway in the breeze
just like spider. No matter how busy
