 'It started a couple of weeks ago on accoun- of all this shop early craze. Sue Young got very much taken with the idea and she went oCwn to New York to do her shopping and found one thing that she welt perfectly daffy over, some hand mirror; of Parsian ivory in quaint de- sign. She brought one for four different people and brought them home.

 ''She came to the bridge party last Wednesday week and got very enthusi- astic over the 'shop-early' idea with Nettie and told Nettie about those per fectly wonderful mirrors telling Nettie that she had seen them here at Mo Clouds and they were selling for SS i9, and told Nettie that she was going down town the first thing next morning to get some before they were all gone.
 Before she had finished talking Nettie was excited te death about them and asked her if sne would not get two for her also and leave them at her house on her way nome. It was not till two days afterward that Nettie found out she had

Yesterday afternoon she brought them to the house and I thanked her sweeuy and asked her if she had paid for them. ''As l expected she told me that she had them charged to her at McCloud's $ and that I could pay her the money. ! then told her that I was sorry, but that I had no money just then, but that l had a bill at McCloud's and I woul1 telephone down there and have them take the two mirrors off of her bill and put them on mine.
 Andrew, it was worth the money to see that woman's face She stammered two Or three times an1 then finally said she was mistaken about having them charged; that she had paid cash for them, and l told nac sweetiy that McCloud's were aw- fully uice about things of that sort anu that I would just phone them to charge the mirrors to me and explain all aoout them and she could stop in there and they would credit them on her bill.
 ''Then she said she did not care to fool with the matter and that she guessed she could afford the loss and would take the mirrors herself

MOTHERS TRY THIS

Keeps Nose and Throat Clean and Healthy. Stop Torturing Your Darlings With Irri- tating Medicines for

Leave it to the kiddies, and they will choose Eucapine Salve, the new and delightful pharmaceutical prep aration that soothes instead of irri- tates and heals instead of inflames. After the first trial it's fun to watch the babies doctor themselves-rub- ping Eucapine up the nostrils for a bad cold, or putting it on the back of their tongues for sore throat or ton silitis, or rubbing it on their chests and throats for a deep-seated cough. Their faces instantly reflect the de- lightful relief.
 Your druggist will tell you that Flu capine Salve is by far the best and safest home remedy, for he knows that it combines the soothing, heal ing and antiseptic qualities of Flu calyptus, Wintergreen, Menthol, Camphor and Pinus Sylvestris, with refined Petrolatum.
