The Bees Home Ma Maintfiining Appearances Fable About the Woman Who Tried and What It ||| Taught Her : H g By ANN LISLE. There was once a woman who found herself suddenly thrown on her own re- #ources. Fortunately, the resources were there. She sold all that had made her life beautifl and decorative and took the proceeds to buy useful things that in turn she might sell these and earn a livelihood therewith. Out of the wreck she kept but one ex- pensive thing—a very beautjful and won- derful fur coat which her husband had &iven her in the days before his life and his fortune had terminatea abruptly. The woman had a little baby to sup- port and the only means she found avail- able was to go up to the wilds of Canada and introdyge a line of knit goods to the shopkeepers there. The fur coat, she | felt, would save her from colds and pneumonia which might endanger her own life and so her baby's means of support and life as well, Besides, she was quite sure that the charming appearance the fur coat would enable her to make, however cheaply she was clad underneath, would be distinctly an asset to her business, The first town to which she came housed & large store which her employer had told her was good for a thousand dollar order and a 10 per cent commis- #lon to her. She went in to see the pro- Prietor, and could not quite decide whether he admired her sweaters and shawls and baby jackets or whether his admiration wag all for her beautiful fur coat. Finally, after he had examined her §o0ds thoroughly, he told her to re- turn the next day when he would have made his choice between her line and that of a competitor. The woman had no doubt of success, for the competitor's Jine was inferior in quality and equal in price. The next day she returned, confident of success. Salg the kindly proprietor «f the Canadian emporfum: “T gave that oiher poor devil the order. He needed I #o much worse than you. I realized hat an order like mine couldn't mean 1iuch to a woman who had a coat like Yours! The woman went back to her cold | ‘el bedroom and flung herself across 1¢° bed pobbing and quite heedless of A\ lether she crumpleq her coat or not. “'he next day in another ancient town, + 4 got an order, But she went after I drested in a $1208 black broadeloth * #he had bought in & bargain base- 3 ont, hen she got back to New York she + ! ber seal coat for just half its value, It cost me a lot, and it lost me a lot, J % it taught me a Jot,” sald she. ; MORAL—When skim milk masq: £a cream, peope who are used to s €t may be afraid of it Do YouKnow That | Glass coffins have been found in Eng- land.
