SO you'd better hand over her. check,
and tomorrow morning at ten I'll be
here to help her cash and spend it-if
necessary" She turned to Pamela with
a twinkle Of anticipation in her eyes.
''How about it?"
Pamela smiled back her bubbling
smile, and then suddenly grew grave.
"Do you think could order by
measure?" she asked, and, remarking
ire hurt establishment on Eileen's
face, continued in rapid but neyerthe-
less halting explanation: "You See, it's
SIr. Randolph. This is really his apart
nient. and he may be back almost any
ANY day. IL don't want to miss
him. IL wouldn't be out when he
comes. for anything"
Him." interjected Mrs. Milyuns, but
before she could make eny further
progress along that line. Eileen was on
her feet and saying goOd-by among
these other things:
"That's all nonsense. If Bobby
found you here just as he left you. the
first time he decided to turn up, he
might never appear again. But If he
finds you after two or three unsuccess-
full calls and Just one days shopping,
he will never leave. TomlinsOn will
have to throw him out"
"Tomlinson couldn't" said Pamela,
with calm complacercy.
Gradually the sure shot made by
Miss Milyuns began to take effect. The
thought of new clothes-new smart
suits, airy evening nothings, filmy un-
dergarments, and solid-silk hosiery
stole Pamela from her intention Of
eternal vigilance and led her to say:
after all, will go with you. If 1t
really isn't asking too much of you"
Thus was Mrs. Milyuns side-tracked
for keeps, and on the following morn
ing the two young ladies We're waited
downtown in Mr.. Milyuns' best limou-
sine and proceeded to open chain of
credit-accounts, on the bare say-so of
Eileen and in the name of Miss /. p.
Thornton, that spoke volumes for the
formers exclusive taste in fashion
able purveyors and financial ability to
humor it. Possibly the two would
have shopped up to the moment of the
present writing had It not been for
the fact that Pamela knew all about
money from the short end.
II have finished" she suddenly an
nounced.
"Finished whatr' asked Eileen.
FINISHED shopping" said Pamela.
"I've been keeping account, and I've
spent almost the whole check"
"'The whole checkr" exclaimed
Eileen. "Why, you haven't touched it.
That's the beauty of charge accounts
You can keep your checks to look at.
I've got some that father gave me
three years ago"
Pamela smiled smile of much wis
dom and made for the nearest exit. As
a matter of polite formality. when they
reached Fifty-ninth street, she asked
Eileen to come up for lunch from the
bachelors buffet In the basement, and
she could not help q sligh feeling Of
relief at the news that N IS Milyuns
had promised herself elsewhere.
aBut I'll break. away ard come for

Service is nothing more than work.
The laborer in the street performs a
service, which he can do more eco
nomically than the man who wants it
done. The artist renders service
which the one who is served is unable
to do for himself. Specialists in all
lines of efforts, whether of hand or
head, often return service that can
not be measured by the money paid
them, for the results cannot be esti-
mated by hourly rates.-Three Circles.

Everyone has his own mental pro-
cesses and everyone cannot see alike.
Opposition to the different public
enterprises is to be expected for this
reason. There are always some peo-
pie who can see the disadvantages
rather than the advantages of apropo-
sition. Some can see all the advant-
ages but take no thought of possible
disadvantages. A better way is to
weigh the advantages against the dis
advantages and decide whether or not
a proposition is feasible. There are
always difficulties to encounter and
ways and means to surmount them
must be considered in any enterprise.
Because person does not agree with
our views is no sign he is not sincere
in the stand he takes. Some people
are given more forethought than
others and can see into the future.
At present Monet is considering some
foreward steps, which mean much to
the property and future welfare and
happiness of it's people. There will be
opposition-naturally. But before
discouraging a proposition, try to see
where difficulties can be overcome and
where, by concerted action, it can be
carried out to successful conclusion.
Business and professional men-meet
with the Commercial club tonight and
thrash out these propositions and
take a stand for the future good of
Monett.

HAMILTON, Bermuda, April I'll
Renewed efforts to enact a law per-
hitting the use of automobiles in Ber-
muda have been made this spring by
member of the Bermuda assembly.
These island have held out thus far
against what is considered danger
Gus innovation" but there is strong
party for rapid transit.
The chief opponents of automobiles
are American winter residents and
tourists. Mrs. Vincent Aston, of New
York, who has been occupying resi-
dence on Hamilton harbor for the
past two seasons, sent letter to the
local newspaper objecting to their in
PRODUCTION on the island.
AS this colony has only little
more than 10 square miles of area,
visitors do not regard motor trans
port as a necessity. Since the Island
of Nantucket admitted automobiles.
this is about the only civilized place
from which they are barred.

OLD WAR MATERIAL
CAUSES GREEK LOSS
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK. April 21.-Old second
hand war material dumped into
Greece after the armistice upon which
profteers made a fortune in the cause
of the reverses lately suffered by the
Greek army in Asia Minor, according
to DIR. Barton w. Brush, of Elmhurst.
L. l., who has just returned from serv-
ice behind the Greek front with the
Near East Relief.
"All the leftover war supplies for
which the European countries had no
further use after 1918 seem to have
been sold to the Greeks in the past
three years, and that is all the Greek
army has to fight WITH" DIR. Brush de-
clared.
In the past three years vast for
tunes have been made in Greece out
of army supplies. and now the Greek
soldiers are paying for it. There are
no hospitals. no hospital equipment,
no ambulances worth the name, and
the wounded have little chance except
Tor such care as the American Near
East Relief can give them" Accord
ing to DR.. Brush the Greek people
were wildly enthusiastic about the
war, and eager to drive the Turks out
of Smyrna, for good.
