A reliable furrier tells me that the
best way to soften fur that has been
wet is by rubbing it with the hands.
If it is not too large piece it would
be better to remove the lining and IT b
carefully and gently until the fur Is
soft again. But if it is too large for
that, simply rub, being careful not to
tear or disturb the lining.

THE WOMAN WHO IS ALWAYS
ASSERTING HER OWN RIGHTS
Never Seems to Care That She Is Trespassng on the Pr,,.
of Others When She Claims Her DUN

THE long line winding back from
l. the cashiers window in the bank
sighed with impatience. The woman
at the window had finished her trans
action, but she was still standing,
firmly planted directly before the coun-
ter, carefully arranging things in her
bag. She could have done that any
where, and involuntarily the crowd
pushed ahead little and bumped into
her. She turned round long enough to
give an outraged glare. and then re-
turned in leisurely manner to her ar
rangements.
Later in the day she lunched in a
cafeteria. Another line stretched out
before her this time, for she had al
ready ''run the gauntlet with her
tray. But she was back again with the
salad that she had just taken to a ia
BILE. Pushing aside two persons who
were standing together waiting for their
coffee and waffies, she thrust the plate
across the counter. "Put some dress
ing on this" she told the attendant.
''1t's as dry as a piece of punk. When
I'm entitled to dressing on salad and
have to pay as much as this for it, I
want plenty of it." She established her
self before the counter and coughed
enthusiastically, without raising either
hand from the tray she was holding.
Do you recognize her? She is the
woman who always stands up for her
rights. She had right to stay as
long as she wanted at that bank win
dow, and she was not going to move
until she was good and ready. She was
entitled to more dressing on her salad,
and it made no difference how she
unused up" the line or destroyed the
peace of mind of those who were wait
ing for lunch-she was going to get that
dressing. She always knows her rights,
but it never occurs to her that she may
be trespassing on the rights of others
in claiming her own.
VOU meet her very often in the
lltheatre. She sits in front of you,
and when she takes off her coat she
throws it so far over the back of the
seat that it rests warmly upon your
knees all through the performance. She
has a perfect right, you see, to put her
coat anywhere she wants to, regardless
of the convenience or rights of any one
else.
1t is sorry day for you when she

PLANNING FOR PAID

Councilmcn Believe Good Will
Come of Recent Controversy
Over Contracts.

Although tho signing OF the five hold
| out companies settled the fro depart
ment situation for another year, facts werc
brought to light which will doubtless lead
TO far reaching results. While no definite
plans have been formed, City Council
will begin work for paid fire department

IN the next few weeks Councilman
Abrahams, chairman OF the fire committee

satisfied with the situation He added
that he 'felt that good would result from

sponded 10 an alarm with nine men on
their truck ''Everybody's on the Job,
Efficiency and better service will DO the
result" Councilman Charles Forwood ex-
pressed satisfaction with the situation.
Much concern is also felt as 10 what the
underwriters will do. Yesterday W. w.
Hartman and r. A. Raymond, engineers
of the National Board Of Underwriters,
were in the city and conferred with Cotin-
Gilman Abrahams and Warner and Chief
Lutx. While il is believed that their
report will be favorable, several de
ficiencies IN the fire department may have
bad effect on insurance rates. One
complaint IL il understood that the un-
derwriters made, was that somo Of the
apparatus in use here is antiquated
Several pieces which were examined
by them were found TO be over thirty

in the insurance rates IT is likely Council
will purchase several modern pieces m

panies.
The contract entered into by Council
and the volunteer fire departments on
Thursday night was characterized as a
''gentieman's agreement by Michael y.

as could be ascertained there We're no
accidents caused by the condition
of the road.
