to scatter good news like flowers over
Leila's couch. She was in that humor
when anybody else's good fortune was
an added grief to her.
I'm no use to you now," she walled.
Il never was much. But at least I
dressed and kept looking fit. And you
said l was pretty. But now Oh,
Bayard, Bayard! You used to call me
beautiful, and I tried to be beautiful
for you. But now To be ugly and
useless both-it's too much!''
Wise pathfinders say that when you
are wandering in strange country you
should turn every now and then and
look back at the way you came. 1t
wears different aspect entirely from
its look as you approached, and you
will need to know how it will look
when you return.
From childhood on, Leila had been
warned against extravagance-as Bay
ard had, as have we all. But only
now that she was looking backward
could she realize the wisdom, the in
tolerable truth of the adage, "Waste
not, want not"
Meanwhile Daphne was having so
different history that she felt
ashamed. 1t seemed unfair to her to
get we'll quickly and with no blemish
except scar or two that would not
show, while Leila hung between death
and deformfty.
But seeing Bayard alone and hear
ing Leila fret, she felt confirmed in
her belief that she had done the whole
some thing when she joined the labor
| Ing classes. There were discourage
ments without cease, yet Daphne was
learning what remedy for how many
troubles there is in work. It seemed
TO be almost panacea. 1t was exciting,
fatiguing, alarming, but it was objec-
tive. She was on her way at last to

earning thousand a year, but she
was on the road.
Clay Wimburn, seeking chances in
the West, did not see the New York
| papers Or any other record of Daph-
mes accident. When he got back to
New York, his pockets full of con-
tracts, Bayard, equally successful,
greeted him enthusiastically. Then he
learned of the accident and the fact
that Daphne was "in trade" He was
indignant at the news and wanted to
see her at once.
Bayard gave him the address, and
Clay wasted no time asking further
questions. He made haste to the sub
way, tuning; left the train at the
Grand Central station and climbed up
| to a taXica5.
Then he found Daphne.
She led him into a little shop empty
of everything but the debris of re.

She spoke instead: II don't ask you
to give up your stenographer."
ooh, it's like that, eh? Well, then,
why won't you let me lend you money
instead Of Tom Duane"
Her answer astounded him with it's
feminine logic: II can borrow of Mr..
Duane because I don't love him and
never did and he knows it. I can't
borrow of you because"
He leaped at the implication: "Be-
cause you love me?'
because I used to-"
"Don't you any more?" he groaned.
"How can I tell? It's been months
and months since I saw the Clay
Wimburn that came out to Cleveland

only Clay Wimburn I've seen for
some time has been horribly pros

be one. I'm a business woman and

"And you wouldn't give up your
| shop for me?'
Certainly not.'
He looked at her with baffled emo
tions. She was so delectable and so
obstinate, so right-hearted and so
wrong-headed. 1t was intolerable that
she should keep a shop. He spoke
after a long delay:
MAY come and see you once in
a while?'
| IF you want to-" ~
"Where you living now?"
| "Still at the Chivvises'."
"You ought to take better care of
yourself than that. Surely you can
afford better home"
| Il suppose so, but it would be
lonely anywhere else. It has been
safe there-since you quit calling on
me. It doesn't cost me much.'
But you're making so much
money"
"Not so very much-yet, but it's
all my own and I made every cent of
it, and-golly! how love to watch
it grow"
"You miser."
Maybe. I guess that's the only
way to save money-to make pas
sion out of it and get a kind of vo-
| luptuOuS feeling from it. But I really
think that it's the fun of making it
that interests me most. 1t certainly
keeps me out of mischief and out of
loneliness. Oh, there's no freedom
like having a job and little reserve
in the bank. It's the only life, Clay"
! "And you wouldn't give up your
freedom as you call it, even for a
man you loved? Couldn't you love a
man enough to do that?"
| Il could love man too much TO
do that. For where's the love in a
woman's sitting around the house all
day and waiting for a man to come
home and listen to the gossip of her
empty brain? That isn't loving, that's
loafng."
Clay was not at all persuaded.
But there's no comfort or home life
in marrying business woman"

Now because there Is much talk of
these newer models we must not for
moment think that the regulation
blouse or shirtwaist Is out of favor.
Indeed, II Is not, and 1t is repeated In
Just as many materials as there are
factories to make them. The kimono
type with its slip-on ease Is still much
favored for the dressier blouses OF
georgette or chiffon. Many have a
rather tight foundation over which Is
hung n panel of contrasting color back
and front. This panel. while short,
is left to hang free over the skirt and
is smart in appearance. The sleeves
of this blouse are of the same color
and material as the body. One often
finds this type of waist enyeloped In
combination of organdie and linen
or pique or heavy lawn. The effect Is
pleasing and unusual, too.
Az to the more tailored type of waist
for travelling or business there are
several models which bid for favor.
One of these Is the strictly tailored
design following the exact lines of
mans shirt and is much affected for
sport wear. A long time ago shirts OF
: this sort were made Of a brilliant

PURCHASE BOURBON LAND

Messrs. Matt c. Clay and S. B.
Lane, of this city, bought 372 acres
of the Ford estate in Bourbon coun-
ty, which was offered at public auc-
ton last week. For the 372 acres
purchased, the price averaged 1908
per acre. The tract secured con-
tains the old Ford home, and every
acre bought is fine tobacco land.
This sale was extensively adyer-
tised in the Advocate and was large-
ly attended. Col. George d.

Speaks, and one of the best known
and most successful auctioneers in
the South cried the sale, making the

ness men were so extremely small
that there was far less ability then
on the part Of the city people to buy
the low priced foodstuffs of that
day than there is now to buy the
high priced foodstuffs of the present
Mutterings Of discomfort based on
the appalling poverty of the farmer
and the mechanic and the day labor
err and the business man were heard
everywhere. Even revolution was
threatened, because a very large
part of the people, not understand
ing the reasons for these conditions,
felt that they had been brought about
by fiscal legislation for the express
purpose Of enriching the banking in
terests at the expense of the pro-
ducing interests. But the banking
interests were suffering like all 9th
er interests. We were then passing
through an economic period of ex-
IRENE depression. The low prices
of farm products were largely due to
the fact that for years the product
ion of crops in proportion to popu-
lation had been steadily gaining,
reaching its climax about 1898 or
1894, although the effect continued
for several years after the turn had
been made, and we had once more
begun to see the pendulum swing the
other way and the production Of
foodstutf grew slightly less year by
year in proportion to population.
Moreover, we had the worse bank
ing system in the world, which af-
forded no relief against such CON
ditions.
Though Henry Ford may think
that "history is bunk" intelligent
men know that the history of the
past events gives us some basis ON
which to judge the present and the
future. We can see today that
there is no such condition as exis-
ted in 1896; no such cause for un-
rest, and that in reality the unrest is
not as great as it then was. More
over, it was then due to actual star
walton facts which faced people
every hour Of their lives, and which
had continued to run for years fol-
lowing the panic of 1929.
AT the present times we have high
cost Of foodstuffs, but the farmer is
getting a splendid price for his pro-
ducts. Instead of being in desper-
ate poverty, he is enjoying great
er prosperity than ever before. The
wage-eamer is getting larger wages
than he ever dreamed of, far more
nearly in keeping with the cost of
living than were the wages of 1896,
as compared with the cost of living
at that time. We have now the
