Editor The Star: I note with satisfaction the stand your per is taking in recognizing the splendid work done by @ firemen in the Lincoln hotel fire. Tt is invariably the case in almost every large city, that) the quality of these men and their work are grossly un reciated until a crisis such as the Lincoln fire occurs. ot wishing to detrac bit of glory from Fireman Dooley, Tam satisfied that every fireman in those companies stood willing and eager to duplicate Mr. Dooley’s feat, or to j ize his life as did poor Frenchy LaCasse. The t thing drilled into a Seattle fireman regarding duty at fires is “SAVE LIFE.” No matter how hot or smoky the building is, if there be people inside, get them out. The uniformed force of the Seattle fire department is second to none in the United States, and I have investi- ted every paid fire department in the country, as that my business. How you keep this class of men on the niggardly salaries you pay them, and under their present working conditions, will always be a mystery to me. No greater injustice was ever done a group of loyal Men, when your mayor vetoed the bill recently passed by the council, with but one dissenting vote, permitting these} Men to have one day in eight with their families. His was that it would cost the taxpayer too much, about cents on the $1,000, also making the statement that a ceman's lot was not a hard one. I would gamble one of these men undergoes more hardship in one ky basement fire (ESPECIALLY IF SET BY A PROFI- IR FOR INSURANCE) than Mr. Caldwell has in his They are also fighting the ever-increasing cost of living on a messenger boy’s salary.

Woman and Her Ways Those courageous persons who with the approach of er annually resume the endless campaign against nen’s fashions, deserve great credit for persistence in face of three thousand years of faifure. Theirs is the one reform that never has succeeded, tho yy good men, from the prophet Isaiah to the preachers our time, have espoused it. : Was it not Isaiah who, protesting against the ways and dress of the women of his day, said: “They walk with ched forth necks, walking and mincing as they go, and a tinkling with their feet”? He denounced their “chains and the bracelets, and the fflers; the bonnets, and the head-bands, and the earrings; rings and nose jewels; the changeable suits of apparel; the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins; glasses, and the fine linen; and the hoods, and the ages, one finds the eighteenth ome company.

Annie Laurie “Maxwelton braes are bonnie Where early fa’s the dew, And it's there that Annie Laarie Gie’'ad me her promise true—" F Emma Cutler-Ferguson, a direct descendant of “Annie Laurie,” is to marry this spring. Her husband-to-be is Maj. Vivian Eyr, late of the royal air forces. Her family i is Craigdarroch, Dumfrieshire, Scotland. It was there “Annie Laurie” married Alick Ferguson, after jilting ‘a lover who actually did “lie down and die,” as he intimated he might be quite willing to do— "“Gie’d me her promise true, Which ne'er forgot: will be; And for Bonnie Annie Laurie I'd lay me doon and dee.” “While Maj. Eyr isn’t given to poetical effort, it is very ey that he has told Annie Laurie’s twentieth century dant the same old, old story—‘“For you I'd lay me doon and dee.” Most lovers say that. so seldom persuades them to are not “Annie Laurie” days.
