Every woman who sees it
will want this useful all-round
apron. 1t is really perfect for
practical service and this is a
season when service of all sorts
is in demand. 1t is so easy to
slip on and off that it means
the least possible difficulty in
adjusting. The pockets are
both Capacious and useful at
the same time that they give a
smart effect. You can button
the band around the neck or
you can close it and slip it on
over the head, in which case
the button and buttonhole in
the belt will be the only closing
required. Ginghams and
chambries and fabrics of such
sort are the ones in general use.

take executive positions and make

Mrs. Adams looked up at Sylvia
quickly. She was unconsciously
saying just what she thought and
selfish and mean-spirited it sounded.
And although Mary Adams liked

Sylvia, liked her winsome girlish-
girl depended for great deal OF ner
mannerism, still she thought the
attraction on surface qualities lily.
The two girls were on their way
down to the executive rooms where
the women of Velmer Falls were
making, garments for the soldiers
and sailors. Sylvia Velmer's father
owned most of the little town and
+, Sylvia had been brought up from
childhood to feel that she was OF
the first Importance IN the place.
Just now she felt that she was the
best dressed girl due to her supe-
rior advantages of college and travel,
the most charming, and by far, the
most influential.
Little Mary Adams, who had gone
to college with Sylvia. lived in the
| less wealthy part of the little town.
In fact, she had taught school, and
was even now working for living
and was home only for the holidays,
! But Sylvia liked Mary; she liked to
tfeel that she was impressing her,
but aside from that, as she often
said. Mary really was a dear"
/ Sylvia breezed into the executive
rooms, which were situated up over
| the firehouse, and asked an insig-
nificant looking little woman, who
was going out just as the girls were
going in, where she could find the
crowd of younger girls. Sylvia's tone,
colored by the fact that the little
woman was extremely dowdy and
apparently without influence was
positively rude.
"Why, Sylvia" expostulated Mary,
her cheeks flushing red. why were
you so rude to her?'
"Oh, these women make me so
weary" the girl exclaimed. You
saw her. didn't you, a dowdy little
creature and giving herself all kinds
Of airs"
But she didn't give herself airs;
you're unfair, really you are"
! Sylvia turned to Mary quickly.

"Oh, I'm not. but I do hate to
have you speak that way to any
one, Sylvia; it sounds so foreign to
what you really are

at this, although she was hersel

little woman just entering the room,
the woman Sylvia had taken the
trouble to be rude to. Sylvia bit
her lips and did not dare to look at
Mary. She was bitterly ashamed of
herself, buta great part of her snob-

ter humiiating death. Sylvia looks
back upon that time as the turning
point in her life and remembers that
