The Golden-Plated Rule
Bg Lillian Patchal Dag
Mr. Monroe Is a ble publisher.
Tills is his story nbout a bully :
r Bo was none of your golden-rulers.
N Maybe ho is now, with my help.
'Iwns traveling for a publication.
" Sold advertising space. Hard work,
S Young kid, just out of college.
" So this fellow's snub hurt.
As wo grow older wo get over that.
Feelings firm up a bit havo to.
' Or business would break our hearts.
" X' breezed into tht man's office.
r Pelt happy, ambitious, full of pep.
Hut I wasn't fresh at all.
I Sent in my iiamo and business.
He was unnecessarily brutal.
. Ydu can turn a chap down easily.
He treated me like a tramp.
Bawled mc out 'most kicked mo out.
''it flabbergasted me cold.
X Blunk out without a word.
But the injustice of It rankled.
Even years after It -was n thorn.
X got on, prodded by ambition.
, "Went into this business, prospered.
Each step up was an incentive:
- Namo on door, private secretary.
Blg contracts, many employes.
" Ono day I heard a familiar voice.
My private office door was open.
., Thorny memory prickled.
t, 1,'knew it was my old enemy.
Plucking a Thorn
"Is the boss in?" ho demanded.
Tho office boy pushed a pad to him.'
"Namo and business, please?"
"None o' ycr bixl" Samo old bluster.
"Rules of the office 1" boy said.
"Can't seo tho boss without it."
Man came down oif his high horse.
"Woll, then, I want a job.
Thore's my name on ycr card.
Now git that to the boss, quick 1"
The boy brought tho card to mc.
"Kaiser Hill to seo ye, Mr. Monroe.
IIo's lookln' for a Job.
Kalserln' bcln now on the blink.
We'd love him in our office 1"
Ills grin mitigated his pertness.
"Show him in," I sold,
lie didn't rccognlzo mc at first.
"My name is Monroe," I remarked.
"I tried to sell you space once.
You bawled me out this way.
I remember ovcry word you said:
'I let ye in to toll you this.
You space peddlers raako mc tired 1
Ye fools I Botherln' busy men!
Now git out o' herel Git!" He got.
The office boy whistled a tune:
"My Captain's Working for Mc Now."
My thorn was extracted.
Isn't it odd?
Bullies put thorns in other hearts.
They hate them in their own.

A Luncheon Set
to tto Editor of Woman' ragel
Dear Madam I should like very much
to know whether a luncheon set modo of
oil cloth would ho aproprlato' with a
rochetod edge. '
MISS H. S.
An oilcloth dolly looks better with a
plain cdffe cither painted or bound with
tape. The crocheted edge would be dlf
foult to put on. and would look too
fussy" with the oilcloth. A pretty eten
illed design, or simply a btndlna of col
ored tape Is usually uwd.
A Chenille Tassel
to the Editor of Woman's Pace:
, Dear Madam Would you kindly ad-
lso me what to do?s I havo a good bit
', of chenille that I would llko to use as
tassels, but It lookB as If It had been
- drawn through a needle's eye. How can
1 I bring It back to Its former state? It
j lias been fastened together to form a
Iwldo band four inches across and about
" threo yards wide. Do you think Bteam-
tng; would help any?
A CONSTANT nEADr.lt
Steaming does not help tho chenille.
f'lt mats down the pile and maUfs it
!, look vary much like a wet cat I But tho
, sample you sent mo waa not no badly
k mussed that It cannot bo used again. I
a havo wen chenille taesels with those
"bumpa"' on them, and havo thought they
were meant to be that way. I am euro
you will find that It makes a very goou-
looking tassel when you put tt together.
Perhaps hanging It up by ono end ana
k weighting It down on the other will
straighten out the kinks, but there Is no
way to make It smooth.
Wants to Teach French
i To the Editor of TVoimm'j Pao:

eholy for her dear oneB at home, and Is

return for servlcos, porformed, but somc-
tiling to keep her mind occupied. Her

J be glad to teach French or do something

does not as yet Bpealt English fluently,
'but she taught French In her own coun-
try for ton yeara, and Is about thirty
years old.
I thought In wrlttng you, vou might bo

,t MRS. R. McU
I am sure your friend would bo ablo

.branch of the Y. W. C. A. or In tho
7 church to which she belongs. There
I aro so many girls and women who would
!llke to learn French If thev could only
I afford It, and this would be a fine oppor
tunity for them. She could speak to the
, rector of the church and ask him to
.mention it to htB congregation, or If it

tm'a organtratlons. Or she could make
her arrangements with the secretary of

But now I am sure there will be soino

among them. I am so sorry to hear
about your accident. I do hopo you havo
