3, GEORGE MATTHEW ADAM,

IT YOU would make of your Char
Aacter a tower of strength, If you
would see your business grow steadl.
ly and surely, il you would know the
really vital, almost priceless secret
back of all success since the world
began. all through the minutes, hours,
days Of your life
Mind the trifles!
There exists in New York City a
store for men that. because of Its mp.
peal to particular tastes and styles,
has built up name for "Class" in its
line. Recently, because of this repu-
tatiOn, young man, new to the city,
went into their establishment and
ordered half dozen of their shirts.
The salesman represented the goods to
be the best of their kind and "war,
ranted" them to be as represented,
One of the shirts proved defective,
The young man sought an adjustment.
He received for his trouble a bundle
Of cold excuses. The store sent away
dissatisfied custOmer-the worst ad-
vertisement In the world
Mind the trihes
There exists in Chicago another
kind of store that is known wher-
ever merchandising Is known. 1t is
the greatest store of It's kind in the
world Here Is one Of the reasons for
its marvellous success. In this store
clerk is not allowed to dispute with
a customer. If there is dissatisfaction,
and 1t appears reasonable to the clerk,
an immediate adjustment is made even
though 1t may mean q loss to the con.
Germ. Trlfles-yes, trifies-but the
attention to them paves the way to
wealth, influence and power.
Mind the trlfles!

they can all wear big paper hats OF

wear.
Some of the tableaux which are
easy to give are of fancy dress balls
and of boys and girls dressed to look
like the Fairyland people.
And tableaux are nice of scenes or
the farm, and at the beach and on the
tennis court and fishing A nice one
to end up with Is to have all the young
est boys and girls in their little night
clothes carrying candles and candle
sticks-all ready for bed.
'Then there are nice tableaux taken
from famous pictures many of that
kind
Don't you think it would be fun,
children?".
"Oh great fun, Daddy. Thank you
so much for suggesting it to us. Wen
get all the children interested In 1t to-
morrow. And We'll get it ready in two
weeks. Would that give us long
enough?'
"Just about right" said Daddy, "for
you'll have time enough with a good
deal of hard work to get everything
ready by that time and it won't be so
long as to make you feel you have all
the time in the world.
"And you can fix very simple cos.
tunes and they're just as pretty,
They're easier to get into and they
won't make your moAhers all wish !
had never suggested such a thing !"
Nick and Nancy laughed. 1--WE prom.
Use to dress up in simple things" they
said.
"And when one boy has something
in the way of costume which will
make him do for a certain part give
that part to him. That is also n good
idea.
"And one more thing, when you give
your tableauX, have the children who're
to act in the next tableauX ready while
one is being given, as then there will
be no waits and waits make audiences
very, very weary"
And off went Nick and Nancy to get
up series of tableaux which they de-
cided they would give for the benefit
Of a fund they knew Of which was be-
ing raised to help city children get ia
the country
