MADAME DE TENoIN

Madame de Tenofn was born at
Grenoble in 1851. She was compelled
by her father to take the veil at an
the life OF nun and, despite the
fact that the convent in which she
lived was the scene Of unusual CAVITY
and worldliness which was in entire
accord with the moral standards of
the eighteenth century, especially in
France, yet she desired greater free
dom and. protesting against her vows,
finally succeeded In gaining her lib
erty. The obligation of celibacy was
the only one not dispensed with. She
assumed the name of Madame de
Tenoin and took up her residence
with her brother. the able de Tenoin,
in Paris, where she was soon the CEN
tier Of a host of admirers. She had
several intrtgues, one of which ended
in the birth of a son, who was ex-
posed on the steps of church in
November TIT. The child. thus for
saken, was brought up by a poor
glaciers wife, and proved to be the
| future great mathematician D'Alem-
bert. Madame de Tenofn never pro-
vided for it, the fear of future detec-
ton outweighing other consideration
Early in 1918 she began to take ar
active part in the. political intrigues
of her brother. After a vain attempi
to influence the. regent, she formed
a degrading connection with Carolina
Dubois.

the price regardless of whether it was
high or low. as

Any man who buys in that undis-
eliminating way will find his costs OF
living increased from SO to 100 per
cent.
Many stores are doing clever stunt
in tagging all the articles in their
stores with the prices People like
to go into such store and see what
things cost. This works well for all
who enter the store. provided prices
are reasonable. But it does not hi
the vast majority no go by and never
come In.
The merchants Of Bridgeport car
hit the whole population on the price
question, concerning which people are
SO keen today. by using the advertis-
ing columns Of the Farmer. Mer
and women who never bothered with
the pricss OF anything before are nov
swapping information on what but.
ter. meat, and clothi--s cost. If they
find that one merchant sells potatoe.
five cents cheaper. that merchant get.
the business and people tell theil

SO you can get your store talked

expedient of naming prices in the col

BLACK DRESS OF.
SILK SYMB0LIzEO
FINE WOMANH00D

When the new officers returned to
New Orleans from Fort Logan H.
Root the other day there was a throng
of outstretched loving arms to receive
them, and this little sentence appear
ed in the report of the New Orleans
States:
Unable to repress herself, one old
lady in a. black silk dress broke down
and wept while her son, upon whose
shoulders were shining the new silver
bar of first lieutenant, squeezed back
his tears as he supported her.
Zone old lady in black dress >
And so here and there and now and
then the black silk dress survives.
Don't you remember it, you who
lived back there in the oldtine? Don't
you remember when the black silk
dress stood for the dignity, the fash
I ion, the refinement, the elegance, the
ceremony, the maternal simplicity and
modesty of Womanhood?
Don't you remember the Christian
ideals, the tenderness, the infinite pa
tent, the sweet voice, the kindly eyes,
the gentle hands. the untireing devo-
| ton of the woman of the black silk
dress?
Don't you remember how queenly
she looked when she wore it, with the
simple lace collar and cap? How year
after year on special occasions the one
grand robe would adorn her fran
lforim? -
/ When the bishop came to dinner?
lDonst you remember how impressive
1T was when one Of the children were
married?
Don't you remember how it defied
the changes Of time or fashion, how
neat and fresh and new it always
Hooked? Don't you remember how
later on her beloved form was always
Idraped in black, in never-endine
memory of her loved ones who ha6
tpassed away, and don't you remem
Der still later on she appeared ne

THAT black silk dress from its place

Have the deft fingers of fashion
Z lever created anything SO beautiful, 81
tadornable, so altogether womanly ant
Imotherly as that black silk dress o
long ago?
Is the garish, the flimsy, the lewd
-he freakish, the brazen apparel o
degenerate days to be compared witt
the stately folds Of that black sill
dress you knew in the days when lif
was young, when hearts were pur
and sweet, and before the noise, tn
fever. the vulgarity, the selfishness
the Indifference Of a. sordid humanit
had enslaved the world?
And yet here and there and nov
