NEW YORK. November 25.--How
to be beautiful though dumb.
That problem has resulted IN the
establishment of new jobs IN this
town. For the first time in history
barber shops have hostesses. These
directors of hirsute traffic suggest

This development was inaugurated
by department store which FOR

trade. Now the concern has q fifth

birth With increasing prosperity
the women of these families have
found that the old standards of at
tractireness which appealed to mel
in other countries are obsolete her,
and they ara determined to live up
to improved conditions. Hence the
bob, the barber and the hostess.
Ho.tesses Not Young.
The hostesses of the present-day
shops are counted on to help them.
Most of the hostesses employed by
he smart shops today are OF certain

be white, fresh skin and q hgure

portunity to turn customers 10 other

will not talk Is at a premium but in

tween himself and separation from
the pay roll. The real trick OF their
trade is to do expensive work and
then to undo 1t. That is, they put a
forty-dollar permanent wave in a
clien's hair, and then, week by week,
they cut two or three dollars of wave
as the hair grows in. until another
permanent ripple is necessary.

One Shop Bars Cash.
The so-called exclusive shops for
women's clothing just off Fifth ave-

to their pay rolls. To earn the weekly
salary check il is necessary for these
women not only to wear clothes we'll,
ut to talk them well. One shop

sample of its products, 1t is neces-

For many years this shop has never

business to do what Fall and Doheny
did. Doheny is just as big as he was;

EDISON'S. GROWING OPTIMISM

One of the annual pieces of news
that is always received with interest,"
and attention is the birthday state
mlent of Thomas A. Edison. The i'll.
yentor, in his later years, has de-
veloped into a philosopher, whose OBJ
servations are tinged with a rich and
mellow optimism. In the statement
he has just made on the occasion of
his 18th birthday, there is a sentence
that perhaps epitomizes his cheerful
philosophy. He turns from considera
ton of the achievements of science to
remark that the "fne people" are in
Fof such increase the world is growing
better. Man is conquering his "malig-
nant environment" There is here no
reflection of that pessimism which is
fond of painting this age as that of
soul crushing machinery and frenzied
frivolity. Nor is there any evidence
of that state of mind which is some
times described as the disillusion tnat
comes with the passage of the years.
Edison finds the world better place
in which to live than when he was a
boy.-Boston Transcript.

PORTAGE
y.--Boston Transcript

The following clipping is from the
Portage Register Democrat and con-
Germs a problem which the News set
tied in like manner some years ago
Those who read the statement from
the Portage paper may find it easier
to understand why the News must
adhere to it's cash in advance rule
Under the heading Want AID
Problem the article says:
tits an easy matter to step to
the phone and order a small want
ad inserted in the classified col
umn of the home paper-but it's
difficult to remember that in so
doing the advertiser contracts an
obligation that should be paid
just as promptly as he pays for
the steak he orders for dinner.
"The fact is that the Register
Democrat has approximately five
hundred of these small accounts
all for want ads ordered by phone
and otherwise from two
months to two years or more past
due. This entails a lot of book
keeping. The volume of our want
ad business does not warrant
keeping a collector to call at the
, homes for these small amounts,
and yet in the aggregate they
total a big sum, which unpaid is
q loss to the paper.
Hereafter no want ads will be
accepted by telephone. They
must be brought to the Office and
{ paid for when ordered; or they
may be mailed, accompanied by
check, stamps or change in pay
ment.
'"This rule will be strictly ad
hered to- All want ads must be
cash, and you can't phone the
cash Bring in the ads and the
money, Don't ask us to deviate."

THE NEW VILLAGE STORE

The village store has changed a pile
Or so it seems to me,
It's different in stock and style
From what it used to be;
The cracker barrels vanished now.
The prunes have gone from sight
There's nothing left around.LI vow,
To tempt your appetite.
There is no place for US to sit
That used to haunt that store,
Our wisdom and curt native wit
Aren't heard there any more,
The place is all spick and span
And citified and smart
It's simply broken up the clan
And cracked each Ioafer's heart.
/ know it's making money fast
Since it has changed it's ways:
It never made much in the past
But those were good old days!
It was the meeting place, the hub
In the glad time of yore,
1t was the forum and the club
Ard now-it's just a storeI
