The Original "Mn. Partington"
Tho original Mrs. Partington, whoan
fame as a eort of female King Canute
has passed Into hlstorjwaa a very ro
Bpectablo old lady who" lived at Sid-
mouth, In Devonshire, England. Her
cottage waa on the beach nnd durlne tho
storm of November, 1824, when uome
sixty ships were wrecked at Plymouth.
tna sea rose to sucn a Height as to In
vade tho lady's residence. At last. In
fact, almost overy other wave dashed In
at the door.
Armed with brooms and mops. mh
Partington, with such nolo as she could
command, endeavored to sweep the
ocean out of the houso. But as fast as
ho mopped up one wave, another had
swept In and she waa finally oompellod
to retlro to an upper story.

"Do you think wo could inako a hcenu

All About Fur
This year the clothes troo has cer
tainly become tho fur tree. Furs aro
uned In every conceivable way. and if
w do not look this winter a If we had
gone to thn very best Eskimo dress
maker It will not bo tho fault of tho
furriers.
Capea and dolmans aro tho prevail
ing types n wraps. Yet lot no one rest
eaBy In tho thought that this year's capo
or dolman Is exactly the same aa that
of last. For example, there Is a move
ment away from the extremely deep
cape collar of former seasons. Instead,
we frequently find the choker collar or
what Is known aa the petal one, This
latter Is extremely becoming, Inasmuch
an It comes up about the throat In a
way that reminds you of a lily's calyx.
Another point of difference Is Cased
upon the lack of fastenings which chnr
acterltes many of tho new capen. Your
real modish fur wrap of this 'all puis up

find, in addition to the absence of faa-
pedal extremities this Is particularly
true.

Common Sense or Calamity?
AFKW days ago, one of New York's largest and most reputable i lolhing
houses ran newspaper advertisements illufctruting" with graphic divisions of a
dollar sliced like a pic just where every cent that comes in goes.
About eleven cents out of every dnllur tnkeu in was hhown to go for rent
nnd taxes ; four cents for delivery, freight, building repairs, insurance, bad debts,
telephones and other incidentals; fifty cents goes into wages directly paid for
making nnd Kclllng the goods, and twenty-five cents for material with its direct
labor costs leaving ubout ten cents out of every dollur coming in to spreud over
advertising, profit, surplus and to on.
To give the consumer the benefit of a price reduction, this great business
house could effect snvlngs by cutting costs in only one place tho three-quarter
slice represented by direct labor and by mateiial, the cost of which latter is in
turn largely regulated by the high cost of the labor involved' in its manufacture.
It is claimed thut this proportion of income apd outgo holds good for most
every other Industry.
Labor, which periodically and frequently nnd sometimes justifiedly demands
more wages because of the high coht of living, Is the one great factor in the higli
cost of pretty nearly everything.
This means that there are only two ways in which tho II. C. L. can be kept
declining till it readies n normal level.'
First. Eitlier the wages of labor must be brought, down to a normal level,
thus directly cutting the labor cost, or
Second, The average production per man must bo greatly increabcJ, thus
indirectly decreasing labor cost.
If labor wants to keep enjoying its present high wages, and to take full
advantage of tho fact that declining prices nnd undiminished income really
amount to a wage increusc, the puth is plain before it it must cut out btrikes
and other cutting of the nose to spite the face and produco more than over
before. "
That is the dictation of common sense.
And where common sense does not rule, calamity docs.

The Confession of a
A
S
CI
By A. SCOBLEND
The guest laid down her cup and turned to the
hostess.
"Mrs. Jones, what splendid coffee!" she ex
claimed, enthusiastically.
The hostess smiled in happy relief and said
proudly:
"I'm so glad you like it."
"Why, Mrs. Jones, that's the best coffee I ever
drank !" the guest reiterated.
"There's quite a tftory connected with it, too,"
the hostess replied. "You know, Mr. Jones is quite
a 'crank' on coffee, and I never seemed to be able
to make coffee to his liking. I tried all the highest
priced brands, but none seemed to have the desired
flavor.
"Finally, one of my neighbors recommended
Asco Blend Coffee very highly, and I tried it. When
Mr. Jones asked for a second cup, I knew I had suc
ceeded at last! He admitted it was the best coffee
he had ever drank and that's some admission
:ijrom a coffee 'crank' like him !"
'"How interesting!" the guest exclaimed, de
lighted. "The best part of Asco Blend," Mrs. Jones de
clared, "is that it costs only 29c per pound, in
spite of its unmatchable quality. It's really a high
priced coffee, but by their Producer-to-Consumer
Plan, which eliminates the middleman's profits en
tirely, the American Stores Co. is able to sell it for
only 29c per lb. instead of the high price it's really
worth."
Vou ufill find an "Asco" Store near your home.
Thty are located all over Phila. and throughout Penna., New Jersey, Delaware A Maryland.

takes us "as far as" in his car.
"Stingy," we remark hotly to our
selves when some ono on tho telephone
says, "Well, you come down to my
comer nnd wnit in the drug store and
I'll nlek you up there."
"What's the use of having n car?"
we question, angrily, scornfullv, "if
you can't run it nnywhere for fear of
using up gas or wearing out a tire or
something!"
Disgust mounts high when you don't
own n car nnd you know just how you'd
feel if you did own one.
Why, you begin to weave n lovely
dream, when people come to your house,
you'd just love to take thm nil tho
way homo in your cnr.
If you were going anywhere with
anybody it would be n pleasure to go
nil the way to the steps for him, nnd
hear him sigh with comfort.
But jut a minute, star-gazer sup
pose you had n car!
SUPPOSE you had a car und you
were u young mnn, as the owner of
tills car used to be (ho learned in his
youth). ,
He went to n dance "in the country
one time.
Four men, who didn't own cars,
called him up before the danco nnd
asked him to take them.
And when he started home there were
two girls nnd another man with him.

Ono of tho girls had to be taken
about six miles awny, nnd the other
lived nbout five miles beyond her, and
not In tho same direction.
And tho man lived in town.
When he got to the first girl's houso
she decided that she would rather' go
on with the other eirl nnd then come
back again for the ride.
It was only the pleading of tho other
mnn which mado her finally givo in and
stay homo where she belonged.
But even then it was far on into the
morning when the driver of the cnr hnd
taken everybody home nnd stopped his
engine for the last time.
Is it any wonder, then nnd thcro,
resting his wenry head upon n just ns
wenry hand, ho resolved nu firmly ns

"Never again"? '
IT'S very pleasant and easy to criti

Things You'll Love to Make
If yoU understand tliu principle OS
Batik dyeing, you can make, many stun
ning tilings that will add beiuty to your
homo. Hero Is a slmplo but charming
Batik cushion top. Draw or have stamped
tho design I show, on a half-yard piece ot
whlto cheesecloth or unbleached muslin.
Keep a small pot of wax (paraffin, will
do) over a small flame, with a brush
wax ln only such parts of tho design
as you wish to remain white. (I have
Indicated them by tho flno black lines.)
Let the wax harden ; dip the squaro Into
a large vessel of cold dye of tho deslrod
color. Do not handle It any more than
necessary. When dry press between oev
eral thicknesses of newspaper with a hot
Iron until all the wax Is removed. Finlsn
the cushion and ornamont with a.
worsted flower ln tho center.
