 CHAPTER 547
 My business seems to be running along on a queer basis of taking the credit and letting the cash go,'' I said with seeming 1ightness, back of which there was clearly defined desire that MT.

"I've never done anw news paper dvertising-which means that I'd either have to go to some trouble establishing charges and credits with the papers or else pay spot cash. And can't now. All the merchants are having a shaky time of it owing to the banks calling in our paper" "Yes, I've heard that before," I re- marked tentatively, venturing on to add: 'It wouldn't be easy for new concern like mine to do much borrow ing, you know"
 "Of course, you won't have to-" he replied, searching my face as he spoke. "You'Ve some pretty good clients. And there aren't any real ex- penses connected with a business like yours.

Lending Her EIance Money

Lending Her EIance Money Dear Miss Fairfax:
 Florence and Jim have gone about together for three years and con- templated marriage in the near flu ture.
 Recently. through no fault of his own, Jim suffered serious business reverses, and after meeting his many expenses is without funds. However, this young man is working night and day and expects to be on his feet again in a couple of months.
 Florence, who has steady posi- tion, has offered to give or lend him money to meet many little necessities. since she would rather have him bor- row from her than anyone else. He refused, claiming that 1t would be most unnlanly to accept it. He argues that where there is such wonderful understanding between two young people, a mere matter of sex should not be allowed to inter fere. FIORENCE.

PRESSING the little girls of the D family should show just as much thought and care as that ex- pended upon big sister. Moreover, just as much individuality in de- sign can be used.
 Washable frocks now hold att tention. Gingham, null and voile are popular fabrics and hand em- eroidery continues to be in the fery highest favor.
 In the picture above Charlotte Jackson, the popular child actress, who has an important role in Thomas Meighan's latest Para mount picture, "The Bachelor Daddy" is shown wearing a white null dress trimmed in baby Irish insertion and lace. A heavy rib bon sash sets of the dress and an added feature to this attrac- tive outfit is the pretty null hat trimmed in lace. This is very suitable pattern for little girls of six or eight years old.

CARD PARTY FOR CHARITY
TOMORROW NIGHT
Five Hundred Party TO Be Held At
The Elk's Home For Benefit Or
The Tuberculosis Association.
Worthy Cause Should Be Liberal
Iy PatroniZed.

The committee in charge of the
sale of tickets for the card party to
be held at the Elks Home tomorrow
night for the benefit of the Tubercu-
losis Association fund reports that
there has already been a splendld
sale of tickets for this most worthy
cause but they hope to sell at least
one hundred more tickets and there
certainly is every reason to belleVe
they will do so.
At this season of the year when
the Christmas spirit is so fresh upon
the minds and hearts of everyone
surely, no one will hesitate to spend
so cents to help in the fight against
the great white plague. Possibly
some persons do not play cards, that
need not prevent them from buying
tickets. No family is immune from
tuberculosis, or, as it is more COM
monty known, consumption. The
protection of the community lies in
the driving out of the disease, in
discovering it in it's first stages so
that precautions may be taken to
prevent it's transmission. The Tuber-
culosis Association is formed for this
purpose, it's work is not to cure con-
sumption but to prevent it, surely
every charitably disposed person will
want to help the movement. The
funds secured from this party as well
as those from tn esale of the seals is
used to provide the funds to pay the
expenses of the nurse who travels in
every section of the county. Tickets
may be obtained at the White House
Lunch Room or from the committee.
Buy ticket whether you go or not.
Help the good work along. Help
protect your own family.

Interesting Lawsuit
Decided

The very interesting suit brought
by the Ideal Gasoline company. n
subsidiary os the Selby oil & Gas Co.
was decided by jury In Judge AL
bert-C. Hunts court. Thursday. and
the verdict rendered against the
Hope Natural Gas company was
about the largest ever returned In
the district court in Tulsa.
The suit originated on account OF
the defective plant built by the Hope
| Natural Gas company for the Selby
people on the Lauderdale farm near
] Cleveland, Okla. which plant has
since been tunked, rebuilt and re-
designed and Is now in operation
and Is considered a good money
maker. The National Products
/ company, well known Pittsburgh con-
cern, OF which Perry Laughtner and
associates are the principal owners.
is operating It now and is doing It
most successfully
The principal cause OF action was
that the Hope Natural Gas company
had utterly failed in its endeavor 20
build a plant equipped with the Say
bolt process for the manufacture OF
gas from casinghead gas. 1t was
brought out in the evidence that the
Saybolt process for extracting cas-
lnghead gasoline FROM natural gas
as installed by the Hope Natural Gas
company, which has patents OF its
own that are being used in connec'
tion with this process, is not n sue
/ cess.

which took only one hour to reacn
unanimous agreement, carried
