Everyday Law Cases

BY THE COUNSELLOR.

Thomas Baldwin. a building con.
tractor. entered the offices of the
General Lumber Co. and placed
with them an order for $4,000 worth
of lumber 1t was q large order, and,
before filling it. the company made
inquiries regarding Baldwin, learning
that he was well-to-do and wholly
worthy Of the credit.
They shipped the lumber. Thirty
days passed, and they made a demand
upon Baldwin for the purchase price.
To their surprise, Baldwin told them
he was not liable and would not pay
for the lumber; that he had placed
the order with them in behalf of the
Massachusetts Contracting Co., who
had told him to do so for them.
He merely acted as agent. he de-
clared, and the lumber had been used
on work for the Massachusetts Con-
tracing Co.
AS matter of fact, this was the
truth. Baldwin had no intention of
binding himself. and had ordered the
lumber for the Massachusetts, Con-
tracing Co. They were. he thought,
substantial company, and he be-
lieved he was doing good turn to the
local General Lumber Co. by placing
the order with them.
But the Massachusetts Contracting
Co., since the purchase Of the lumber,
had gone into bankruptcy, and the
General Lumber Co. faced a large loss.
They brought suit against Baldwin,
who defended himself on the grounds
of his agency. The court, however,
said.
IAN agent who would escape per-
sonal responsibility must disclose
both the fact of his agency and the
name of his principal at the time of
making the contract, and the subse.
quent disclosure of the principal will
not be sufficient to relieve the agent. y

Her Feelings SPILL Over.

That's the chief trouble with Eunice.
She's nice enough kid-she dresses
well. looks pretty and knows how to
talk-but her feelings have the I'm.
comfortable habit of splitting over.
That is TO say, she makes tremen-
dously emotional scenes about all sorts
of things in front of all sorts Of
people.
She seems to have no reticence. no
sort of natural barrier of reserve to
keep her from emotionalizing in front
of every one she meets.
OF course, in another country. with
another race OF people. her weakness
would go unnoticed.
The warm -blooded Latins don't con-
slider II bad form to burst into tears
on the slightest provocation-to love
violently and publicly--to suffer pangs
of jealousy openly, where all may see.
They love allowing their feelings to
spill over. But we Anglo-SaXons
usually hate it--and we are uncom-
Portable in the presence of those who
show no restraint.
Eunice honestly doesn't realize how
black an eye her conduct gives her.
/ believe she's just little bit proud
of that fiery, impulsive nature Of hers,
but she shouldn't be. She embar-
rasSes all sorts OF people--repels them
with the violence of her emotions.
If she's jealous because Charles has
been flirting with Estelle, she con-
fronts him with blazing eyes on the
dance floor-she makes a public scene;
she fairly Kisses at Estelle.
Invariably she ends in tears, appeal
ing to all her friends to witness how
she has to suffer.
And invariably a dozen people turn
a "a a n ~
amused disgust--for they seldom feel
sympathy for one possessing SO little
self-control.
On the night when Eunice became
engaged to Charles, few will forget
the joyous abandon with which she
confessed her love to all and sundry
who cared to hear.
" shall die. I'm so happy" she
shrieked. her eyes glowing. "Oh, none
of you can realize what I'm feeling.
Life Is too wonderful. 1 can't bear it."
Can you picture the effect of this
speech on her crowd of listeners-all
Of today. calm and collected, cool and
sophisticated?
Why, they simply writhed away
from her They didn't want to hear
her glowing speeches of impassioned
love.
They felt that if she had any de-
cency she'd keep those things to her
self-not let them spill over while
everybody was watching.
1t is nice to be natural and full of
girlish enthusiasm. But it is fatal to
be too ardent and glowing-too print.
tive and uncivilized--while you are
being watched by the critical eyes of
friends.
The Anglo-saxon girl or boy likes a
reticence about things nearest the
heart. They despise shouting from
the housetops what should be told
very confidentially. And they will
turn against the girl who allows her
feelings to spill over-any time, any
place, anywhere.

Way of Wisdom i'm Shrinking Goods

chased, and If fee is charged 1t Will

as when bought, something that could
scarcely be expected If one did the
shrinking at home. Often great pres

and this takes tremendous strength,
perhaps of a man, perhaps of

ColOred Goods.
1t is the home shrinking of cotton
fabrics that any woman can do. First
of all be assured that the goods Clo

imparting of color to one fabric from
another, and is serious fault espe-
ciauy in wash goods. Color may run
a little without doing any actual dam
age, thought it is fault. That is, II
the color does not stain other parts
OF the same fabric or another material
with which it comes in contact, the
only damage that results is q slight,
perhaps an imperceptible, diminishing
of the color of the goods. But both
the running and the Crocking must
be seen TO before shrinking wash
goods. 1t is the shrinking OF fast
cOlored goods that is described below.
The Process.
Nothing could be simpler than this
shrinking of wash goods Place the
fabric in a bathtub or washtub

such as all the morning, or over night.
Lay it on the dashboard over the tub
without wringing, squeezing or twist
ing it. Press the goods from side to
side with the palm Of the hand using
it in much the same way as an iron.
This will force the water out enough
for the cloth to be taken to the line
without wrinkling it. Wind stretch
of the clothes line with white cotton
cloth and put the goods over this part
without attempting to unfold them.
Pin them securely, so that they will
remain just as they are. Put a wee
bit of white cotton cloth under each
clothespin to insure no marks being
left on the material.
Drying.
The goods should hang so in the
shade until they are thoroughly dry.
If it has been done with care, no
pressing of the material will be neces-
sary before cutting and making up.
Allow plenty of time for the material
to dry, for 1t is during the drying as
we'll as the soaking that the goods
shrink, and II hurried they do not
shrink quite so we'll
If the goods do get wrinkled during
the process, iron them before they get
actually dry. Use a moderately hot
iron and press evenly and firmly,
being sure to have the edges even and
straight

Women may be especially provoking
under this sway, which makes them
capricious and changeable.
1t should be a fairly fortunate we'd

fluctuations of luck, with the good
always predominating.
Theaters and places of amusement
should benefit, for there will be
general craving for entertainment
that will lift the mind from practical
reflections.
1t is supposed to be easy to deceive
oneself while this rule prevails, and
for this reason one should not act i'm.
pulsively on any sanguine plan.
The evening is a most suspicious
time for any sort of intellectual enter

suspicious for psychic Investigations,
