She had many offers from tailors
to act as assistant cutter or filter,
but she did not want to do that She
explained that she wanted to have
larger field. She finally borrowed
enough money to rent small room IN
a private house and there she started
in business for herself. Mrs. Miller,
Of course. was one of her first custom
ers, and one Of her best boosters.
All of Mrs. Miller's friends and rel
atives were soon wearing clothes made
by Miss Celia Oshinsky. And it was
not long before the room was much
too small and inadequate. Celia did
not know what to do. She knew
what she wanted to do, but it looked
like such big undertaking. She told
Mr.. Miller about 1T and asked him to
advise her about the business end of
the matter.
EnIarees Quarters.
He did, and the result was that the
next month found Celia Oshinsky In
suite of three rooms in one of the
most fashionable suburban districts
about Cincinnati. There was wait
ing room finished in gray wicker and
cretonne with soft lamps and all the
latest fashion books on the table.
There was fitting room with all the
most modern equipment, and then
there was the workroom, and in it
there were two machines and three
girls busily stitching, ripping and cut
ting while Celia herself was busy ans
wering the telephone, taking measure
ments and keeping her books. That
was her start, and she says now that
her only mistake was that she did not
call herself Madame Oshinsky on the
gold leaf lettering on the door.
Today she is but thirty years old
| Her establishment is twice it's original
| size. She never has less than fifteen
girls working for her and she is send
ing her younger brother and sister
through college, and she has bought
her aged father a little farm In the
country.

Celia Oshinsky was born in Poland
and came to this country with her par
ents when she was a tiny baby. The
family established itself in Cincinnati
end 1t was there that Celia received her
schooling. She went three years to a
Polish school and about two years to
public school, but she had to stay
home so often to take care of her
i've small brothers and sisters that
all her five years only amounted to
about three
At the age when most little girls
are beginning to 60 to dancing school
and struggle with Latin verbs Celia
started out to earn her share for the
Oshinsky family. She acted as the
one and only servant in a large and
very ordinary American family by the
name of Miller. Although Celia could
remember nothing of the old country,
1t was not until she entered the Mil
ler's household that she became thor
oughly American.
Earned So Per Week.
At home she still spoke Polish and
she still chung to the foreign customs
OF her family, but the families went
out, and with these odd bits Of work
she earned almost her usual three
dollars every week. She finished her
course in half the regular time by ap-
plying herself diligently and then be-
cause she wanted to be more than
q mere ssmaker, she continued her
evening work and she went on to two
other schools and at the end of two
years she had become an expert cutter
giving a certain part of her time to
careful studying of each one Of these
operations.

is what kind Of book l should get,
and where l should get 1t. so that
will not get mixed up in the use of
the different forks and spoons and

to table etiquette. Please answer this

You can go to a book shop and ask

Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am 16
years old. Am | too young to go ma
chine riding with my friend who is

attend picture shows together? How
late should a girl is years old stay
out at night? Is she too young to go
to another town near with her friend
and another couple in a machine for
the day? Is she too young to attend
evening parties with her friend once
in a while?
BLUE EYES.
I do not think you are too young if
your friend Is a careful driver and you
are not out late in the evening. You
are not too young to go to picture
shows. A girl IS years Old is supposed
to have judgment of her own about
staying out late. If she is a t the thea
ire or party she usually cannot re-
turn as early as if she were walking
or riding. In the latter cases she
should be at home at 10 o'clock.
Young people often motor to nearby
towns for picnic parties during the
day. it is quite permissible. 1t is
right that she should go out to even
ing parties. That is part of a young

LOCAL METHODIST SUB.
SCRIBE LIBERALY TO
CENTENARY FUND.
PASTOR THANKS ALL.

Inc centenary campaign OIL
the M. L. Church South came to
close Sunday, with an oversub-
Scription to the fund. The
churches on Galnesboro Mission
subscribed as follows: Gaines
boro, 81, Sic; Flynn's Lick, 1921;
Cornith, $l66; Marsh's Chapel,
$156. This is an excellent show
ing, in view of the fact that the
active members of the four
churches does not exceed $50.
The amount subscribed is to be
paid within a period Of five years.
The pastor issues the following
statement:
The Centenary eight day drive
has been a great success on the
Gainesboro Mission. The quote
of 1886 was oversubscibed
$3.50, making a total of $2,115.
This is one of the greatest causes
ever presented to the Church,
and God has certainly been it.
Every one who subscribed to
this great cause has purchased a
Stock in the Kingdom Building
of our Lord. Every one who
contributed to this cause is pos
sesor of a happy heart, and con-
scious that they are not slackers
in the greatest of all causes.
The one who failed to get the
vision of this Centenary Move
ment of Methodist Missions need
to tarry before God on their
knees until the scales fall from
their eyes.
AS pastor of this Charge | de-
sire to thank every man, woman
and child who have helped to
make this campaign a success,
by having contributed of their
time and money. We are living
at the dawn of a new day. God
is not dead, neither is His Church.
The success OF the Centenary is
positive proof that men and
women are awake to the needs
of the Church, that they recog-
onize her power, and that they
desire a world fit to live in.
Surely God has a record of your
contribution recorded in Heaven,
and will bless you accordingly.
May our Heavenly Father bless
us all in the great work in which
we are engaged. Continue to CO.
operate with US by attending all
the servises of the Church.
Again, | thank you,
Your Brother In Christ,

EQUALIZATION OF TAXES
POSTPONDED U NTIL
l92O.-STATEMENTIS
UED BY STATE BOARD.

There will be no equalization
of tax assessments for the year
1919, according to statement
issued last week by the State
Board of Equalization. The
board states that it would not be
humanity possible to make the
equalization this year and have
it ready by October |, as requir-
ed by the statute. Since begin
ming their investigation, the
board has found that the assess
ments in the state are in such a
deplorable condition that it will
require a complete overhauling
of the methods, and this cannot
be completed for this year.
The board announces that it
will continue to gather statistics,
and will assess all property that
is found which has been escaping
taxation, and all improved prop
erty and appeal cases.
The statement is made that
every step taken and every dol
lar expended so far is necessary
for the working out of the sys.
tenn for the year 1920.
The board announces that it
has found that no method of
reaching a uniform assessment
basis can be had short of actual
cash value of all property, and
states that this will not increase
taxes, because of the operation
of the sliding scale rate. which
automatically comes down as the
values are increased. 1t is the
belief of the board that when
the assessments have finally been
made it will show that property
in Tennessee has been assessed
at less than half it's actual cash
value. 1t is also the opinion of

paying for what they eat, and
putting back what they don't

don't care for tea (sailor's name
for it is "kiil-me-quick") par
ticularly, but can drink it with.
out discomfort, but these Eng
lish live on it. And all over the
city, consisting of a dozen nat
ionalities, and of some twenty
five thousand inhabitants, people
of all ages and both sexes are
selling pies and cakes and candy.
You will often see a sour-faced
old Arab in his native dress,
standing on a corner with a pie
as large as a wagon wheel, SELL
ing it bit by bit. A customer
asks for piece and he breaks
off chunk, and after weighing
it on rather ancient looking
scales. he hands it to you, and
you can pay him whatever want
to for it. 1t doesn't seem to
make much difference to him.
Everywhere you go, too, there
are women trying to sell you
silk and lace stuff. Presumably
made by their own hands. At
no place are you secure from
them; even in good restaurants
they have free gangway to
come in and poster you while
you are eating, and they don't
know how to take a refusal, and
hang on like grim death trying
to sell you something anyway.
If they ask you ten shillings for
anything and you offer them five,
they will take you up so quick
you want have time to chage
your mind. The inhabitants are
mostly Spanish. but a few Eng
lish, outside the troops, and
Arabs and Hindus are seen; also.
the inevitable Greek Jew. Also,
again, j. Barleycorn, that ubi-
quitous friend of sailors in every
foreign port, is present and ac-
counted for, with bells on" as
it were. Nearly everyone speaks
English, and one feels more at
home here than at any of the
French or Italian ports. You
can buy thirty oranges for a
shilling and forty or fifty tanger-
ines and all the grapes or almons
you can carry for as much.
Silks and leather goods are very
common. and everything is very
cheap, compared with the prices
one pays in other cities. They
have three Sundays a week here,
in succession. On Friday, the
Mohammedans have theirs; on
Saturday, the Jews pull theirs
off; and the Christians have Sun
day. In that way. a man can
always buy anything he wants.
If it is his Sunday. it isn't some
body's else.
The water supply is one of the
oldest things about the place.
The rainfall some years is very
heavy, and in others. very light.
The English have solved the
problem of always having fresh
water by building large plane
surfaces of concrete. converting
hundreds of square yards of sur
face, along the side of the rock.
These surfaces catch the rainfall
roof fashion and the water runs
off of them into cutters. through
filters. thence inside the rock,
where they have a reservoir
large enough to supply the city
for several years without refilling.
We went partly through this.
but didn't get to see all we want
