How a Cash Girl
Became a DESIGNER

Martha Martin was a little cash
girl in a big city department store.
Her duty was to carry the materials
that people bought at the dress goods
counter back to the main desk in the
center aisle to be wrapped and to OBJ
tain their change for them. It made
Martha very sad sometimes to look
at all the lovely colors in the bolts
of material, the pinks and lavenders
and soft green's and blues, which
could be made up into such beautiful
dresses. She had to wear a black
dress herself. 1t was the store uni
form. And even if she had been al
lowed to wear gayer colors she had
little money with which to buy fancy
dresses.
Even though I can't have dresses
myself of those pretty pieces of
clerk at the linen counter, ST like
to plan how I'd make them up if
could have them. Why, I've even
drawn little pictures of the ways I'd
trim them Martha drew a note
book from her pocket. 1t was full
of pictures of dresses for girls like
herself Even though the drawings
were poor, the designs were very
clever.
But the head clerk. who had a
crouch on everybody in the world,
and was only waiting to find some
one on whom to display her temper,
snatched the book from Martha and
cried, $50 that's what you've been
doing instead of running errands for
me. No wonder you're so slow! I'll
just take these to the f1oorwalker.
and then L guess we'll see whatll
happen to your And the. woman
marched off.
Gee, I'll probably get fred" said

SCARF.

lighter, less brilliant flesh shades
Colored slippers are also worn for
afternoon-with flesh stockings or
stockings of the same color. The
gray slipper worn with silver gray
stocking is undoubtedly smart, as
is also the all-beige effect.
One more word anent skirt lengths
Even the skirt that is wide at the
hips is short The houffant long
skirt, suggestive of the second en-
pire, has been abandoned. and when
the wide skirt still persists it is
short.

There are frocks of the beltless sort,

Introduction of a little fullness be-

as it does now and then in collec-
tions of frocks for summer after
Moons, it is decidedly short of skirt
and as long of waist as is consistent
with this fashion. Certainly there
is nothing suggestive of the mid
Victorian styles or the civil war pc
riod. when hoop-skirted ladies laced
themselves into short, tight bodices
and hid feet and ankles completely
under ballooning skirts. The only

similarity at all in these new bouf-
fant frocks and those of the 1850
period lies in the width of the skirt
at the hip. The bouffant frocks OF
the present time seem like nothing
in the wcrld save means OF making
use of organdie, taffeta silk and other
light, stiff fabrics and of offering a
welcome contrast to the usual run
of long wasted, perfectly straight
line frocks.

walkaway' for Brother Greyhound
Brother Jack Rabbit was apparently
doing his best, but his best wasn't
good enough, for Brother Greyhound
was steadily leaving him behind.
And then, half way down the track
omething happened. From some
where in the neighborhood of Brother
Rabbits tail there came a sudden
explosion of fireworks. Brother Rab-
bit pricked up his ears and made
dash forward. The sudden dash
brought him up nearly even with the
flying greyhound. Suddenly a tiny
skyrocket exploded right between
Brother Rabbits legs, leaving a train
Of green sparks and an odor of burn
ing hair. Brother Rabbit cast one
agonized look over his shoulder,
made a dash that put him well up in,
the lead, and crossed the finish line a
full three lengths ahead of Brother
Greyhound.
Any one who knows the inside facts
about that race need never wonder
why it is that Tommy Turtle wears
checkered vests, smokes. imported
cigars and INDUCES in windy talk
about his oil stocks.
