One of the greatest undertakings which a commission has attempted in thig country is that which is faced by the Interstate Commerce commis- sion in securing the physical valua- tion of raliroad property in this coun- try. It will require pet only time, but expert knowledge and large ex- pense, to accomplish the task and se- cure this important information and thereby fix the basis for the adjust- ment of differences according to some standard, which can be established only by obtaining a definite knowledge of the exact conditions of the roads. The importance of the investigation is well set forth by the New York Commercial when it says: “Probably no board of inquiry has ever been organized in the United States whose results will be more vital and far- reaching in their bearing on public Interests, for these are Inextricably bound up with the railroad carrier system of this nation.

I knew it was useless to put off the matter any longer. So 1 promised him that I woulg get something that very day. 1 aside that wonderful new play Strind- berg's that I was going to take over 10 the park and read and the poor dear wrote me- a check -and went 1o the office looking quite relieved in his mind. “After he had gone I stopped to fin- ish only ome act of Strindberg and then T started. On the way downtown 1 figured out just what kind of hat I should get. “It was not so hard to plan one in my mind, but it was a different matter to find the hat that 1 had planned. I went to six shops and tried on about eighty hats before I bogan to feel dis- couraged and decided that there must be something wrong with my 100ks. “In_the sixth shop 1 met Mrs, Pel- ton, who looked wild eved and bellig- erent, and had s curious little straw concaction set upon the top of her hair With roing red objects falling oft the back of it like a Deck of apples de- scending a_tairway. “When she.saw me she clutched me menacingly by the arm, as if I were | responsible for the present soclal sys- | tem, for she sald: “Isn't it-an outrage | that Riiman'inteliigénce has to be ex- pended upon pursuits like this! They talk about the senseless rashions of women! Do they realize that men make these styles and then force them upon us? Do you know the meaning | of this whole insane subject of fash- ion? It's a device perpetrate hy the merchants and manufacturers to_get rid of unconsumed surplus. Now, when our sex has_the Dballot 1 hope— “I calmed her down as muclt as I could by telling her that I felt that way about it. However, 1 was re- lieved to find that perhaps the trouble was not with my looks, after all, that T walked over to a counter whers sev- eral hundred untrimmeq hats were plled up in & bin and a lot of women were. clutching at them and bought the first one from the top of the heap. Tt was light and soft and felt com- fortable and did not make me look entirely like a cartoon when 1 was trying it on. So great was my rellef at ending my search that I took home the hat MAKING CHARLES HAPPY with quite a feeling of satistaction. I reasoned that it would be a llmrle matter to trim it myself, for all I should have to do was to leave off most of the things that the trimmed hats had on. “That was yesterday morning. ~ The rest of the day aond until midnight last night I devoted to attempts to trim ‘the hat. Fortunately, Charles stayed downstairs to dinner. 8o I could work without interruption. I trimmed and untrimmed eight' times and noth- ing that I could devise looked right, s0 I gave it up in despair and went to bed. “Thig morning as soon as Charles had gone 1 got the odious hat out from under the bed, where 1 had hid- den it, and by the broad light of eary daly discovered what was the matter with it. The trouble was in the color, which 1 had failed to observe closely. It was not a normal straw color nor a yellow nor a brown, but a si¢kly, bilious yvellowish green, which made everything that it came into contact with look seasick, including me. “It being now too late to return the hat, which had begun to show signg of wear 1 carrled it down to a dve shop and found that they could color it for me, but would have o change the shape, which was the least objectiona. ble thing about it, and that it would take four weeks. ‘I then went to a department store nd bought a bottle of dve, which the aleswoman said any child could apply with a small brush. In attempting to open the bottle after I had carried it home my knife slipped. the tin cap flew off and half the contents spilled over the kitchen table, a stack of dish- es and the kitchen sink, to all of which it immediately adhered like enamel. “Fortunately, 1t was Della's afier- noon out, but as I knew that she would be very cross avfen she saw the dve 1 spent two hours anq a half and a can of scouring powder in removing it from the 'kitchen landscape before T could return my attention to the hat. The remalning contents of the bottle T then applied to the hat except the part that splattered on myself. I then re- lined it, trimmed it for the ninth time, tried it on and found that I could stand to look at the finished product in the glass without feeling ill. I felt that I had earned that hat. ‘When, Charles came home I had it stuck on' my head for him to look at and was just beginning the second act of Strindberg. He was very much pleased and sals “That looks ver; nice, my dear. Now, vou see how eas it is to get becoming hats, so you must %0 down and order two or three more, and then you will be supplied for the summer.”—Chicago News.
