So 1 was able to answer Dicky
promptly, when, after we finally did
reach home, he said seriously;

loathe the very sight OF the imported
blue hat which Dicky had bought for

FLORIDA BUSINESS NOW ACTIVE

Florida has completed reconstruc-
ton troubles and the buying capacity
of her people is now nearly normal,
Is the message sent to the New York
Commercial by Jefferson Thomas,
president OF the Thomas Advertising
Service, of Jacksonville. Business
there is active and the state is pros

ct offers profitable field for produc-
ers of good articles. The following is
his analysis of conditions:
'Conditions In Florida justify OPP

Through the wide diversity of the
states agricultural products, farmers
and fruit growers are reasonably pros

Savings bank accounts are the
largest in history and commercial de-

ago.
There is under way vast amount
of public construction work and pri-
vate building is active. Manufacture
ing establishments, generally speak
ing, are busy. Skilled labor is en-
gagged and the volume of unemploy-
ment among unskilled workers is not
large.
Inquiry establishes the fact that
Florida suffered less from the indus
trial depression than any other state
in the Union and that the present buy
ing capacity of her people is more
nearly normal.
Many northern manufacturers have
found that the Florida field responds
profitably to intensive cultivation. and
It affords attractive opportunities to

The expressions on the faces OF Il

Browns held, besides slight embar-
rassment, a CLINT of defiance, and a
frank enjoyment of the humor of the
situation. Leila Fairfax was evidently
overwhelmed with humiliation, but it
was the look on Edith Fairfax's face
which caught and held my eyes.
For from under the heavily fringed
eyelashes pair of wistful brown eyes
looked UP once into those of my hus-
band, and then quickly away again.
But the antagonized, unconscious,
shamed entreaty in that look could
not help but clutch at the heart of
any man, I told myself duly, espec-
tally one so susceptible as 1 knew
Dicky to be.
1 had intuition enough to realize
that the girl before me was far more
than Grace Draper had been. because
of her very helpIessness, and because
of the fact that there was no delibera-
ton, no malice in any feeling she
might have for Dieky.
Grace Draper had been distinctly
predatory. She was hard, unscrupu-
lous, she saw Dicky, desired him, and
deliberately set out to wreck my hap
piness. But this dainty patrieian child
of Virginia was incapable of any de-

NOT REVISION BUT REDUCTION

Nobody in congress has a good word
to say for the administration tax-re-
vision program, and it does not de-
serve good word.
The congressional objections, as
might be expected. are not directed
against the general inequalities and
injustices of the plan. but are based
on the fear that If these taxes are
voted great many republican sena.-
tors and representatives will be retired
to private life after the elections of
1922.
Evidently Secretary Mellon did not
take that phase OF the case into con-
sideration. Assuming an expenditure
of $4,000, 100000 on the part of the
government, he set out to find the
money regardless of political conse-
.quences.
The fault does not rest so much with
Mr.. Mellon as with congress and the
administration in general Why should
the government of the United States
be spending $4,000. 100000 year? 1t
was not spending quarter of that
amount previous to the war and it
ought not to be spending more than
half OF that amount now.
What the country is demanding is
not revision of taxation but a reduce
ton OF taxation, and the instincts of
the country are sound. Private indi-
viduals are compelled by circumstances
to curb their expenditures. They are
driven back by sheer necessity to a
pre-war basis insofar as il is possible
OF attainment, yet the government
stuooornly refuses to recognize any
restraints.
hevision of taxes may help a few in
oividuals but It will not meet the
problem, nor can the country be BEN
eIited by lifting the burdens from the
rich and transferring them to the poor
and the mode ately weli-to-do. The
trouble lies wiz the amount of money
that the government is taking away
from the American people and deyot-
ing to non-productive uses. No mat

REVELATIONS
OF A WIFE

What Madge Read in "Edith's" Eyes
as They Looked Into Dicky's
az ADELE


Alfred Durkee rose from the table
at Broquin's, where he, his mother,
Dicky and I were dining, settled his
cravat, and pulled down his waist
coat as if he were going to make an
after dinner speech, and then bowed
punctiliously, ironically, in Dicky's di-
rection.
"My gifted young friend" he began
solemnIy, Il certainly have to hand 1t
to you on a silver salver. 1 have wit
messed many getaways, heard many
alibis, but for absolute ingenuity and
elaborate trimming, yours beats the
world"
He paused {npressiveIy, while his
mother laughed, Dicky glowered, and
I, covered with embarrassment for
Dicky, looked in every direction but
that of my husband.
"Your talents are certainly wasted,
my Dicky- bird" he resumed, 'in max
ing little pictures for the magazines.
I should suggest, if might be so bold
that you begin correspondence course
for husbands embarrassed for expla-
nations. You ought to make your
everlasting fortune"
you'll make your everlasting exit
from this sinful world in about another
half minute" growled Dicky, ''if you
don't quit making more of a monkey
of yourself than even nature succeeded
in doing. I beg your pardon, Mrs.
Durkee, for SO speaking, but have
always been convinced that this young
idiot was no son of yours. His nurse
must have substituted him for the
real heir"
More Than Edith Knew.
Sorry, Dicky-bird, but I'm afraid
I'll have to own him." dimpled Mrs.
Durkee "But he is bad boy. Al

Her son dropped into his seat with
a funny little gesture Of resignation.
That's always the way" he grum-
bled, always being suppressed as I'm
beginning to rise to heights of real
eloquence. But that only proves what
I've always contended, that nobody
else has any chance with the ladies
when the Dicky-bird is in the acting.

with him against me-"

severity, and then she pulled me BY

You Can't Take What You
Didn't Give

The men and women who get the
most out of life are Invariably the
ones who put the most into it. Divi-
dends are never declared on stock
certificates that have no value above
the paper upon which they are print
ed. If you want to get returns you
must invest something, and a cash
investment is not the only kind that
pays by any means. A liberal invest
ment in the confidence and esteem of
your fellow man will bring big divi-
dends, not annual nor semi-annual,
but daily, and all that it costs you is
industry, honesty and right living.
Cash dividends are mighty nice things
to have coming in regularly, and are
very necessary, but unless they are
accompanied by the other kind of divi-
dends, they fail to bring full meas

Dances of the Long Ago Returning.

OaHceS OF rne Long Ago Returning.
Teachers of dancing attending the
thirty eighth annual convention of the
American Association of Masters of
Dancing in New York declare that
dances of the long ago are coming
into vogue again. One of the favorites
seems to be the schottische, popular
forty years ago, and one of the leading
dancing masters of the country is
quoted as saying: Il think people are
getting some sense about dancing now.
They find they can be just as graceful
and enjoy dancing just as much with
out all these body movements that
have been dangerously popular for
few years. 1 allow no jazz or tod
ding in my school and l have lost no
pupils by my stand, in fact, 1 think
because Of this I have increased my
school attendance. for conservative
people have come to realize l do not

Good Writer, Poor Business Man.

Mark Twain was an utter failure
as business man, like many another
good writer. He went through bank
ruptcy some years before he died and
had hard struggle to pay his debts,
but finally did so. But his business
hardships never affected his genial
disposition, nor were permitted to in
terfere with the steady flow of wit
and humor which permeated all his
writings. When he had once more
gotten on his financial feet, he was
approached by his friend, H. H. Rog-
ers. Standard Oil millionaire, who
gave him some valuable lessons in
thrift and finance.
Said Rogers to him on one occasion:
You write, Mark, and I'll underwrite."
So successfully did he do this that
