Mrs. Anna Staiber didn't like her

being new employe. she had naturally
been shunted to the riding habit depart
ment and told that she was expected to
make good where others had failed. She
needed the money and she stuck but In
the back of her mind there was the fe ei.
ing that there must be something better
She found it.. not by going far afieid,
but by cultivating the position In which
she had been placed--by paying the
closest OF attention to her work and
from the people who came into the de-
partment. One day customer, paipa-
ply discouraged, came in to look at rid
ing habits. She mentioned that she was
more for the purpose of making con-

After the sale had been made, Mrs.

in It, and II must have been with
something like chagrin and disappoint-
ment that they found the women who

the rich brown street frocks and cults
to their old favorites in navy blue.
Now brown has come back. And I for

Is already evidence that 1t has been
found acceptable Judging from the Sc

Friendship of Men and Girls

II believe fine friendships with men
are so much easier to attain than most
girls believe. Even a congeniality of
tastes Is not entirely necessary to them
One OF the finest friendships of my life
was with n man who had few personal
tastes In common with mine. We dis
agreed on very great many subjects.
Ny sister used to say to me. II don't see
why you and Tom are such friends, when
you are forever querrelinK." Well. our
'duarrelings" were heated arguments
for the most part on rather unimportant
matters and concerning our individual
opinions as to these but We did not
quarrel az TO fundamentals. There. each
was sure OF the other. II did not matter
that he disliked Dickens while at that
time dotted on him. that he cared for one
kind OF music and I for another: what
did matter was that underneath all these
unimportant differences we could and
did honor and trust each other. I be-
lieved him to be truo and honorable and
kind, and he believed mo to be the same
and In this mutual belief-truth and
honor and kindness-our friendship tool
root and grew. Here, too, you sec

eral and lasting things. not In the petty
