The completed mode! was carried out in navy blue suiting of a fine qual- ity, the coat being made with a long, shaped basque, and a round cape ef- fect over the shoulders. The skirt was very original, having a deep slanting hip yoke of the same mate- rial, into which the drapery was set and firmly sewn along with a double row of machine stitching. The coat fastened across the front with a number of small painted china buttons, while beneath it was worn a blouse of navy chiffon, with long, transparent sleeves, completed with a winged collar of white lawn wired up- | ward at the sides. 508 West Main St. Gan Talk to Practically the People in the Town OUGII THIS PAPER JYARNELL AND HEAVY HAULING OUSEHOLD MOVING A SPECIALTY S AND MULES ¥OR HIRE : Office 109; Res.,, 57 Green i i ! | t If you want your Shirts and Collars Laundered the VERY BEST Send them to the akelana Steam Laundry Weare better equipped than ever for giving you high s Laundry work.

Now suppose a gust of wind should come in and carry one of these cards down to the street, and a girl should pick it up and see the name! Here’s a card with the name and address of Thomas Carlyle, a fas- cinating name, I think. I seem to have heard it somewhere, but no matter. What if this card should be blown out through the window? “Why, that little girl down there would find it, and she'd say, ‘It's surely fate!” And ehe'd take it home to her bedroom and dream over it! Yes, 1 guess she'd carry it around in her purse and snatch it out whenever she was alone, fancying how he looks and wondering what he'd say it she should write him! “Then, maybe, she’d actually de- velop the courage to do what her heart dictated, and she would write him! “And when he got the note 'way oft there in his little western town, he'd sit down and picture to himeelf what the girl who wrote it could be like!” The little stenographer spoke dream- fly and the bookkeeper smiled with patient condescension as he listened. “Then what did this Thomas Car lyle, ranchman, do?” said the book- keeper, as the little stenographer paused, . “Why,” said the little stenographer, “he went up to his little shack and sat down and wrote her a delightfully breezy western letter, telling how glo- rious it was out there! How his ranch was paying, and how he needed some one to share the enjoyment of it all with him! He told how the fruit was ripening and the flowers growing, and how the bungalow was progress- ing up on the hill! Even as he wrote he could feel her sympathy, and knew that she was counting on his letter! “And then she would get it! And immediately ehe would begin to feel that life was entirely worth while again, because somebody needed her!” She sighed gently with a degree of sentimentality that irritated the book- keeper. “Oh—no {intermissions for tearful musio!” he commanded. “If you want me to sit through it, hustle along the next reel!” “Well,” obediently continued the little stenographer, “they’d correspond of course, and they'd learn all about each other. He would find that she was getting only $16 a week, and hadn’t any home.

It was: “Sing.” “What does he mean, anyhow?” growled well-meaning but surly Jeff Dodson, the foreman. “Is there a bet- ter system in any shop along the riv- er? ‘Swear!’ would suit me better when a machine breaks down.” “Maybe his advice would be good for you, then,” suggested his assistant. “It doesn’t do the younjsters much good to hear you rip it off when you're riled, Jeft.” Before another day, however, all hands in the plant understood the situ- ation clearly. The new proprietor ar- rived—a rather serious-faced young man, but with a kindly light in his eyes and a gentle, sympathetic voice that attracted the eighty odd employes. The first thing Rodney Phail did was to call all hands into the main rest room and make them a speech. He told them that he felt something more than mere enrichment in belng the favored owner of the business—a sense of great responsibility. The same conservative business methods would be followed. Old and deserving employes would be retained. His great wish, however, was to make of them a hapy family. He intended to build a club house for them, where mu- sic, lectures and entertainments could be held to break the monotony of their lives. There would be a good library and a gymnasium. These faithful workmen had borne bravely the brunt of the industrial battle. They should ¥ [ < [ Q o [ .

Each year twenty-five per cent of the profits of the concern should be dis- tributed equally among the employes. Of course there was rare apprecla- tion evinced at the mention of this lib- eral donation. Then Mr. Phail said: “I have put up a sign reading, ‘Sing.’ I want to explain about that. For ten years my life has been spent on a lone- ly ranch, taking care as custodian of a plece of property in litigation belong- ing to my uncle. The solitude, the eve- ning weariness after an uneventful day, the uneventful existence fast made of me an unsociable hermit. There was no sweetness in my life. Then, one day, a wonderful bird took up its home just above my cabin door. It sang from morning until night. It filled the air with rare, beautiful mu- sic, and my sou! with delight. When it flew away to sunnier climes with the approach of winter I missed it great ly. Then a new idea came to me: I would sing myselt. My friends, you after her! do not know how his companionship “And when ehe’d write back she of music cheered and refined me.” would not tell him that she wasn't| This was the text, and further upon ready or anything so silly, but she the subject “the new boss” briefly would be frank and say that she'd | descanted. He showed them how, es- be waiting for him! And—" Again' pecially in the work rooms where the the little stenographer paused, over- nmmbllng of the plant was done at come by the affecting vision. “Well, well!” the bookkeeper delib- | erately descended from his stool. He ' strode over to where she sat. He put a paternal hand on the head that | was held restfully on her hand. And he smoothed her hair, as he spoke. “Did she have it so bad!"” he sald soothingly. “Well, and why didn’t she Just write to her Tommy Carlyle, and ' begin things? Why doesn’'t she sit her right down and prepare for ranch | life! Think of the romaunce you're | missing, my child, while you pine away here, when here’s Tommy’'s address plain as ink!” He lifted the card until it was at a level with her eyes, but she shook her head. “No,” she sighed. “It cannot be. You see, I'm just sorting out the cards | of the down-and-outs—those who can't | pay their bills even if we go to law. This name Carlyle heads the list! This romance I've been spinning wouldn't do for me, because I know all about the names. I'll have to get ; mine eome other way!’ Sighing, she | i shuffled the cards.—Chicago Dally News. — . Smokdisys Chimneys. A smokeless chimney may be pro- duced by flooding the fire with air, but this entails a heavy increase in the i chimney loss with a consequent waste of coal, according to Engineering Magazine. This does not mean that it pays to make smoke, although for a given furnace and set of conditions it may be so. In other words, there are cases when the losses due to incom- plete combustion as indicated by smoke may be less than the losses due to the admission of sufficient air to “klll” the smoke. This 18 the weak point of many so-called “smoke con- sumers.” The sclence of the matter lies in the production of perfect com- bustion, which ie necessarily smoke- less and which at the same time in- volves a correct proportioning (neither an excess nor a deficiency) of air to the fuel. The production of such com- bustion is not eatirely controlled by the simple matter of air admission, but to as great an extent by the intel- ligent design of the furnace itself, Thie involves the maintenance of high tem- perature and the thorough mixing of the air with the combustion gases and with the carbon, and constitutes a science in itself.

But this time I'll get even with him.” “How?” “Let you entertaln him.” | long tables, the hours could be enliv- ened by music, the vocal organs exer cised and rhythm, poetry and good cheer engendered. There was 80 much promise to the plan, the girls especially so eagerly re- | sponded to the musio suggestion, that Rodney decided to go a step further. . He advertised in a near city newspa- per for a cultured lady to undertake an orderly educational superintendency of a group of sixty young factory girls. One especially neat, terse and com- prehensive reply from a Miss Mabel Durant pleased him. A week later the young lady in question arrived upon the scene with her aged mother. Rod- ney had a neatly furnished cottage ! near the works all ready for them. For the first time in his life a woman's face attracted him in anew way. With in a week he was ardent in his appro- | bation of the system pursued by the quiet, refined young lady, who entered with zest into taking charge of the girl workers. Rodney left all the details of man- uement and training to Miss Durant. ' He heard great reports of her suc- cess, he did not wonder when he met her dally that she had wound herselt around the hearts of the girls. Then one day his whole being thrilled as he paused in his work to listen to a touch- ing ballad she was singing in the work room. It was in the rear work room on the fourth floor of the plant, but every note was borne to his wistful hearing strong and clear. Suddenly a jarring crash shut out the mellow harmony that so charmed him. He turned to view a great up- heaval of an isolated stone building where explosive varnishes were stored. There was a blast of flame. The main building had caught. In an instant dense clouds of smoke rolled upwards. “Fire!"” The direful shout, echoed and re- peated, rent the air. There was a rush from the building. A chill struck the heart of the anxious Rodney as he thought of the girls on the fourth floor. “Those narrow stairs!” he gasped, and then, thirty voices strong, there came to his ears the steady, rising | notes of a song accompanying the: footsteps, as clearly timed as though ' a company of trained soldiers was on the march. And so, in splendid order, the last one of the girls got safely out of the ‘ building. The structure was destroyed, but soon to be rebuilt. But not until Rodney. Phail had won a loving bride who had sung her gen- tle way into his heart of hearts. (Copyright, 1814, by W. G. Chapman) T. L. CARDWELL, Electric and Sheet Metal Contracts Phone 233.
