HOW A "WHIRLWIND
CAMPAIGN is STAGED

Before whirlwind money raising
campaign opens one large subscription
usually from one-tenth to one-third
of the entire amount--is secured con-
ditionally upon the raising of the entire
sum within the allotted time. This
keeps the reins tight and hurls the
campaign home to climax on the last
day. In several instances one-third of
the entire amount has been raised on
the last day to save the large condi-
tonal gift-in Philadelphia one-third
of a million was brought in during the
closing twenty-four hours.
Just to keep things from sagging and
to have the whole project swinging
along lively from the start other ad-
vance subscriptions are secured and
these are poured in whenever the en-
thusiasm needs reinforcements.
One way to keep canvassers enthu-
siastic is to get their own contribu-
tions first Men cannot solicit sue

Ward fashions list of from one to
six thousand prospects according to
the size of the city; these names are
taken from the roll of current contrib
utors to the Association, cluD and
church memberships, and Bradstreets
and the telephone directory.
Each man is given a list of pros
pective subscribers to see and he Is
held to that list with military exact
ness until the last day or two of the
campaign, when the ropes are cut and
the canvassers can approach people not
on their cards.

An illustrated prospectus showing

THEIR MARRIED LIFE"

the story of his fiancee. That would
make all the difference in the world,
because Ned is awfully in love with

mo, but If he isn't engaged.
Have you thought what that might
mean? 1t would, mean that he was
trying to inveigle you into an office
down town where he could see you
every day. Do you think that
would be quite fair to WARREN"
Helen considered for few min
utes. NO" she admitted finally,
of course. it wouldn't be right. But
after all have no reason to think
that Ned isn't sincere. The funny
part of it all is that if Warren

OF my becoming q business woman.
| should never have thought of tie
thing second time. When Ned
first proposed it I laughed at him
and 1 absolutely forbade his telling
Warren
Well, if I were you, and really
wanted something to do, I'd try TO
get interested in something you can
do at home. At least get Warren
accustomed to it gradually. Any
way, don't bother with this scheme
of Ned's. 1 don't think it would
come out rigEt at ALL"
Helen had no real notion of ac-
cepting Ned's position. She would
not have dreamed of defying War
rem, for one thing, and for another,
she was contented enough as she
was. But Louise's remark that she
did not look like an Independent
woman had piqued her, just as War
ren'S remark, What has Helen to
do with business" had made her
stand up for Ned the preceding
night.
What Helen really wanted was
to give up the idea, but to give 1t
up gracefully, with the knowledge
that every one knew that she was
broad and unselfish and giving up
she felt it her duty. Somehow
Louise's opinion on top of Warren's
few scatching remarks, made her
feel ridiculous, as if she was trying
to do something Ashe was not fitted
for. That Helen@ herself thought so
did not at all excuse others for
thinking the same.
And If Ned were trying to get her
down town, as Louise had said, he
probably did not think so either,
but was offering her the position
for the material gain he would get
from her nearness. oh, it was all
horrible, but she would not decide
one way or another until she had
asked some one else about it. She
would speak to Frances and Frances
would tell her the truth.

1t seemed as though this question
or Helen's taking position was
never to Unanswered. 1t was strange
too, the different ideas on the sub
opinions, for Helen had contided in
only two women, her two best friends.
The morning after the argument,
Louise had run in, and Helen was
too full of 1t to keep anything to
herself, so she proceeded to unload
her troubles on Louise.
Louise was frankly interested.
Just imagine it, Helen," she said
interestedly, "only I just can't think
of you as a business woman"
why not?" queried Helen.
II don't know, you don't look like
the kind of a woman that one could

Helen remained silent. She was
disappointed in Louise for a mo-

to consider, she knew that Louise

she was defending Ned as hard as
she could, and had not stopped to

Fashions of To-Day BY May Manton

T TERE is one of the most
n graceful and attractive
gowns that could be
offered. 1t is so arranged that
it gives a long panel effect at
the front that suggests slender
ness of the wearer. 1t is made
with the sleeves sewed to the
big arm-holes that give all the
grace and charm of the kimono
model without any of the draw
backs. 1t is full at the sides
to give breadth across the hips
and you can make it of one ma
terial throughout or of two.
AS it is shown here, it is made of
a soft satin with trimming of
Persian crepe to be very smart,
but you can get this same
effect by using soutache braid
applied over a stamped design
or you can embroider with
heavy worsted threads. Grey
is a favorite color and silver lace
is much used. A grey crepe
or a grey silk with trimming
of silver lace would be exceed
ingly beautiful.
For the medium size will be
needed, IN yards of material
SO inches wide, ~ yards 44
