The Washington times., 1919-11-30

1t is not fair to give away state secrets,
and ones weekly wage is the most secret
of all secrets, so Miss Sedgwick preserves
canny silence on this subject 1t is
known, however, that she draws a good
salary and "pulls down" fine commission
on every customer she draws to her shop.
Which is one reason why Miss Marion
Tiffany and others Of her many friends
are shopping madly.
To tell wee bit of secret, 1t was
really Miss Tiffany who persuaded Miss
Sedgwick to take this particular job. Be-
Havemeyer, she has nice sense of busi-
ness, and during the months that Miss
Sedgwick was sewing her fingers off max
ing things at home, friend Marion urged
her to strike out and go after real money.
In the end her advice was taken, and
now Miss Tiffany gathers her friends to-
gether and steers them in lunches into
Miss Sedgewick's shop and arms. In the
beginning they all made party of 1t and
giggled and gossiped over each article
tried on, but suddenly the shoppers found
that Friend Adelaide was one person from
9 to 5, with an hour off for lunch, and
very different somebody after punching
the time clock on her way out at s.
They found that she seriously intended
to keep business and pleasure on two dis
tinct levels, else, naturally, she would not
make good as a high-priced "saleslady."
Just how is it going to be humanity possible
for one highly bred girl to lead dual life?
Society asks, What about going to the
races? And how about playing golf at
Piping Rock Club or playing about the
Long Island pleasure grounds, where you
have always had so much fun?
No, Miss Sedgwick cannot go to the
races, for they are strictly daytime af-
fairs.
When society asked Mrs. Sedgwick IL
it was really true that Adelaide made her
own clothes that lady replied eyes, Ade-
laide has always had clothes sense. She

ready answer. 'Do you
expect to drop all your
friends, cut out all So
cial life and lead a
humdrum, workaday
life"
''No, indeed. | shall
accept every dinner and
evening invitationI like.
I can't go to lunches
and teas, but they are
awful bores, anyway"
Then she added. 41By
keeping myself physi-
cally fit l shall be able
to keep my Job and
have a good time in the
bargain"
This last is also very
modern. The girl who
does not keep herself
fit for her job never
gets very far ahead.
And Miss Sedgwick has
gone into her work
very seriously. She in

a saleswoman and later

way, it's the only way I can make
money"
Miss Sedgwick has the correct
modern philosophy. To her mind
there is something stultifying in liv.
ing on her mothers depleted income
and doing odd jobs for her friends.
She appreciates the dignity of labor,
the satisfaction of doing a big Job
in big, fearless way, and her first
payday was the happiest day of her
life. She says 1t was, anyway!

bid you aay mosquItoes? Yes.

Did you say mosquitoes? Yes, saw more mosquitoes than ever saw Lefore This continuous rain had lot ts. do with it, A not all. At Alb bolt & Boyd's sorghum mill 1t was suggested that they had rained down like fish and frogs and other things tlo sometimes This was new idea ta me, but there were so many of them that l think that Texas storm must have gathered up all the mos quito larvae and eggs in those South ern swamps and rained down in the hlyis of R. r. D. 9, Cabot, all of them, h crc ssi ing the ridge between Zion Hill and the valley east of it I found the grounI covered with them. There was a growth of small weeds and les pideza not an inch high and when I stepped in it they would swarm up as ibick as a swarm of gnats. I saw ripe persimmon on q tree, next to 1t vas one that looked like 1t was GOV cred with cob webs. When l pulled the ripe one there arose swarm ot niosouitoes from the one I thought had te cob webs on it. Boys out 'possum hunting reported that there were enough mosquitoes on the per si1nnon trees to darken the light from their lantern and to run all the 'possums away At the sorghum mill they were eQually as abundant, suck ing the juice from the bagasse. We'll, had rather they fed on such things than one.

met R. w. Cherry, the coIored gin man of near South Bend, in Jack sonville Saturday. I heard Mir. larry white farmer, begging him for a 5ushel of cotton seed, for which he offered him $5 Mir. Jarry had been watching Cherry's little acre and a quarter cotton patch and knew all about it and that was why he wanted some of the seed As the conversa- tioned progressed I learned the fol- lowing about this cotton. The acre and quarter of cotton will make two bales. It swan in water during May and June and only got two plowings. It's name is Evenderver heavy fruited cotton. Cherry sold one bale before .he rains for 55 cents pound. Forty bolls made a pound; 1,4S0 pounds made a 650-pound bale. The buyer pronounced the staple one and one eighth inches. The average turn out is 46 per cent lint. Cherry has about 25 bushels of the seed picked before the rain, which he will sell at s750 a bushel His address is R. w. Cherry, R. F.
