FINALLY she really had to pin a
sIrii on It; runt you would have ilono
It, too, In self-defense, lot me nssuro
you. Sho was a mighty pretty nnd
smart young saleswoman, nnd what Is
moro a member of tho Junior League,
more yet, tho daughter of a. good old
family, nnd still more so, a debutante
of Inst season. Sho Is fair to tho oyo
and slender, and as still another ad
junct, was a bridesmaid at tho famous
DukoBiddlo nuptials last April. Well,
what Is this nil about? Only tho fact
that while sho wns selling yesterday at
tho Itummago Sale sho was rather
warm nnd took oft her coat and hung
It on a screen back of her. First camo
an old clothes dealer. "Ah, I give you
76 cents, you sell him." Then next n
smartly frocked little Lizzie, who said,
"Is that for salo? It la rather good
looking. I suppose It was worth more,
but I'll glvo you $2 for It." So It wont
on till In sheer desperation to keep the
coat of her stunning suit, which ennio
from Fifth nvonuo and had cost overy
Inch of $150, sho took a largo paper bag
and wroto on It, "This Is not for salo,"
and pinned It on tho coat. I tell you
what with rummago sales and dashing
over to tho Onrrlck for noondny serv

Tho Junior League Is busily prepar
ing for Its convention, which Is to bo
held during tho flrat week of May, I
understand. Every girl In tho League
Is going to put up one or moro of the
visiting delegates, and they aro all
muohly excited over It. I heard a
funny ono about our leaguers when
they went to New York to glvo the
"Ballet of Orlando." Most of them woro
sport suits nnd looked as stunning ns
only our Philadelphia beau monde can.
1 Well, the New Yorkers arrived in their
best velvets and furs and silks, and
eyeing our little maids remarked, "Well
I don't thtnlc much of Philadelphia
clothes," which was slightly discon
certing to those who thought they were
very well dressed. It Is well each city
appreciates Its own. Still our little
maids have their velvets and furs, too,
but they rightly thought It would not
be very good taste to put them on
for a day In New York.
