Back in 1915 a young man superin-
tended the changing Of the signs on
the store of Samuel Loenthal on Main

cupies approximately 10000 50. feet
Of floor space and employs thirty
five people.
Plans have been made for big cele-
bration at Benjamin's next week, in
honor of the twenty years of progress
that have just been completed.
Starting on Wednesday evening, Oc-
tober 9, there will be fashion show in
the store; an orchestra has been ar
ranged for and mammoth birthday
cake will be cut.
Beautiful girls from different parts
of the Eastern Shore have been invited
to act as models in the fashion show.
Among those who are expected to take
part are Elinor Hall, Pocomoke City;
Carolyn Davis, Marion; Lillian Thigh
man and Dorothy Balderson, Snow
Hill; Mrs. Harry Mitchell, Ocean City;
Jean B. Noble, Cambridge; Doris Ad-
kinson, Fruitland and Peggy Cros-
well, Leslie Purnell, Mrs. Charles
johnson, Mrs. Edward Belts, Mrs.
Edith Ackrley and Mrs. Harry Mes
sick, Salisbury.
The fashion show will also be re-
peated twice on Thursday, October
10th, the first showing being at 1890
in the morning and the second show
ing at 2:3O in the afternoon.

There, he had done it! As he made
out the check and sealed it in an en-
velope for the boy to deliver he had
just the faintest misgivings. BY /
o'clock in the afternoon he was so
jittery he decided to quit for the day.
He almost wished that he could re-
call his wager, but then, he reassured
himself, it was really much nicer to
have $4,000 than just one! And If he
did it countless times with $40, why
not with a thousand? It was the ex-

the life of him he didn't know how
he was going to break the news to
Bess. He had visions Of big scrap,
and a divorce action, and people
pointing the finger of scorn at him
for the gambler he was. Mentally
he vowed fervently never to bet on
anything again, not even match PEN
nies with the Office boy.
At his usual dinner time he softly
opened the door of the home which
would no longer be his after today.
BeSs' cheerful voice as she, as usual,
related to him the small events of
her day, plunged him still further
into gloom and self f-denunciatior.
How was he to take the sunshine
from the life of his faithful help

He Strengthened up suddenly as
one of her sentences bore in upon
