Bayard shuddered little, inly. The
times were epic. Immortal progress
was being made as never before: an
clent despotisms were turning into re-
publics, republics were at war with
one another; constitutions, labor prob
lens, life problems, all social institu-
tions, were being ripped up and re-
made, all the relations of masters and
men, mistresses, children, wives, ami
mails.
Yet Leila said there was nothing in
the papers! Revolutionary news meant
to her change in the fashion in
sleeves, the shift of the equatorial
Waistline trifle nearer the bust or
trif1e nearer the hips, the release of
the ankles from tight skirts. The great
rebellion in her world was the abrupt
decision of the dressmakers that after
years of costumes clinging more and
more closely to the human outline they
would depart from it in every way
possible. Leila was interested vitality
IN what women would wear and what
they would leave Off, and grandly in
different to which nations were shoot
ing at which. Bayard hesitated, ap-
pealed again to his watch, gasped at
the hour and the minutes, kissed Leila
violently, kissed Daphne and kissed
his mother and rushed fer the door
Leila put out her arms again.
Il must be last" she cried. and as
he bowed into her arms she kissed his
ear and whispered, 'and first, too, and
all the betweens."
Bayard was business man from his
cradle days. He loved promptitude
lie blushed to arrive late at his office
and set a bad example to his stenog-
raphers and clerks. 1t was his creed
that success comes to those who arrive
earlier on the battlefield than the 9th
erS, hight harder, stay longest there.
and end every day with the next days
maneuvers clearly realized as part of
the next months campaign.
There was need for concentration in
his business, for he had brought back
from Europe q sense of great disaster
IN the air. And there was no encour-
agement in American business except
an instructive feeling that the worst
must be over because it had lasted so
long.

provement. But Daphnes JOY in her
new gown was turning to remorse. She
was realizing that that parchment.
toned taffeta needed parchment-toned
stockings and slippers and a hat of the
same era as the gown.
She was startled from her reveries
by the sudden gasp of Leila:

"You did? Did he say he knew me ?''
He said that Bayard stole you from

have done any good if I had. Tom

Hes awfully rich, I suppose" said
Daphne.
"No, not rich at all, as rich people
60. But he was mentioned the other
day in the will of an old aunt he used
to be nice to. He's nice to everybody.' -
Duane met them now and paused
Dareheaded, to greet Daphne with fiat
ter1Ig cordiality. She was greatly set
up to be remembered. She presented
him to her mother, who was complete
~ upset at having to meet so famous
an arlstocrat right out in the street
when she was still flustered over the
terOclous price of Daphne's new dress.
"Will you have bite Of lunch with

Leila.

of those gusts Of mania that ruin peo-
pie. Her soul Of souls clamOred to
| wear that very gown that very after
noon. Even to take it off would hurt
like f1aying.
Leila had the same feeling. Her ap-
petite for resplendent gowns had
grown with exercise.
Dutilh took pity on them: "Look
here" he said, "I'll make the price two
hundred and seventy-fve. It's giving
them away, but you are such Visions in
them!'
1t was big reduction, but it left the
price still mountain high.
II want something to wear tomor-
row afternoon" Leila said. "Tve got
to go to tea and my sister has to go
with me-"
Daphne had not heard of the tea,
but she wanted somewhere to 20 In
that gown.
Dutilh smiled: Nothing easier.
Take the duds with you or let me send
them. Where are you living now?"
Leila made confession: '"The
trouble is, Mr.. Dutilh, that I'm just
back from Paris and haven't q cent
left, and Miss Kip is buying her trous-
seau and has spent more already than
she expected to-"
Dutilh rose to the bait that he had
expected them to dangle: '"That's
simple. Why not open an account with
me? Take the gowns along and pay
me when you like
Leila mumbled, II should have to
ask my husband"
Daphne said, "My father wouldn't
like me to start an account"
Charge it to your sisters account,
then, and pay her."
"You say you would charge them

"Certainly," said Dutilh.
"Send them, then," said Leila, with
imperial brevity.
''Thank you," Dutilh smiled. "You

The Philippine Demand

In 1898 when Admiral Dewey
flashed the news of the sinking of
the Spanish feet in Manila Bay the
average American had to brush up
on his geography to find out the
geographical location of the Philip
pine Islands. At the St, Louis Ex
position Americans were given
their first intimate" % insight in
TO the traits and characteristics of
the FilIpinos in the famous. or in
famous, Philippine Village. While
the St. Louis Exposition had many
valuable features it had better nev-
er have been held than to have i'm
planted a libel of 100000 Fill,
pinos in the minds of the people of
this country. Just as the Europeans
and even some of the Yankees
who were reared down East" used
to judge the Western part our Own
country through exhibitions of COW
boys and war-decked Indians, OF
the reading of blood and thunder
novels. so quite naturally the saw
ages collected in the Philippine
Village confirmed the stories. easy
enough to believe Of a people whom
American arms had subdued, thai
the Filipinos were lot of deeener
ates s-and a hopeless lot.
The shadows that moved across
the dial. plate since those days, havt
vindicated the West and the Phil

Take Your Choice

Two advertisements appeared
lately in a New York newspapers
one of them calling for a teacher
of mathematics, history and psy
chology, at a salary of $65 a month
The other one called for colored
barber at $50 a week.
There is no particular reason why
the barber should not get $50 a
week. Milk wagon drivers are get
ting $35, and the, don't need to
know more about driving than any
farm boys knows, A quick, light
fin gered barber needs as much dex
terity as milk wagon driver, and
d eserves as good salary.
But we are sorry for the teacher
of mathematics and history. $65
each calendar month means SIS a
week. The barber who gets $50 for
pruning whiskers may be glad he
knows nothing about mathematics
or history. In Washington teach
er has to work rs years before quail.
ifyiDe for a wsge Of $500 a year
In Chicago a teacher cannot gel
81 ,000a year before putting in II
years in the profession. 10 2S
states the teachers average less
than $400 a year.
And in Illinois high school teach
er who tried to persuade one of hi
pupils to stay and finish his educa
tion was met with an irrefutabl,
argument. Il have a job in tn,
: mine," said the boy. Il am maxim,
more money without an education
than you are making with one"
We are told sometimes that teach
