that all outstanding subscriptions, job
work and adyertising accounts have
been purchased from Mr. A. M. Schaff-
ner and settlement is to be niade with

REDUCTION TO PAY UP,
That the subscription list of the
Commercial may be more of an ad-
vance payment list, up to November,
all settlements for arrearages or future

this would mean putting out their

If she had been dressed up any
more than ste was trafic would have
paused to allow the procession to £0
by. She knew it, to, and gave her-
self a little satisfied shake beiore she
rang the bell.
“Is Mrs. Gorman at home?” she im
quired languidly of the pink-cheeked!
girl who opened the door. Then wiih
an air of great surprise at the an-
swer she drew back the card she was
tendering. the supposed maid and:
smiled genialiy. i
“How stupid of me,” she said, “not,
to realize that you are Mrs. Gorman,
and not the maid! Of course, yom.
can’t keep a maid in a tiny, five-room
flat! I am Clara Belfuss, and be=
ing such an old friend of your hus
band’s 1 wanted to call right AWAY,
and not wait for your at-home date.:
I knew you wouldn't mind. :
“lI think an at-home date is only
a form, anyhow, unless people are re-
ally in society, don't you? Oh, my,
don’t apologize because you are not
settled yet—I know it won't look so
bare and queer after you've bought a
few more things, :
“You're going to have Arabiam lacey
curtains, you say? Oh, my dear—
forgive me for interfering, but perhaps
you don’t know that Arabian lace
entirely out! You must have filet}
Here in the city we have to be term
ribly up ‘to date! That's one reasom;
why 1 always was so fond of Tom—
he is such an up-to-date man. He -al+ .
ways wanted the very latest in every«
thing—so you can imagine our survy
prise when we learned he was ta
marry a .girl from a small town. |
suppose you were such a contrast
delightful contrast, of course—to wi
he always had been used to! ;
“I've always felt that perhaps iff
Tom hadn't so insisted on style i
would have been better for him. He
would'make more progress in the busi«
ness world, I mean. I've always takem! ,
an interest in his career, because x .
rather helped him on socially—intro«
duced him around, you know, and got!
him started. He was so diffident and
awkward at first, poor boy. He was too.
grateful to me, I thought, especially;
when he—dear me, how I ramble onl}
“I expect Tom will find it very hard:
to settle down into a staid married
man now. Of course, on his salary.
he can’t entertain and do things, now
that he is married. How fortunate.
for him that he married a girl used:
to a simple life! That was what I
always advised him to do when—you,
know, Tom came to me with all his
troubles, and a man certainly does
learn to depend on a girl when her
gets the habit of doing that! i
“I used to say to him: ‘Tom, what
, on earth will you do when I get mar
ried and haven't any time for you”
But he was always so broken up at
the idea that I had to stop teasing
him. I don’t believe in letting a many
think there is a chance that you may
care for him when you know you
never could in the world! I've always
had my ideal of a man and he has
to be very brilliant and clever and
keen and terribly successful—an ex~
traordinary man, in fact. I never consid.
be satisfied with anything less. I am.
different from most girls in that—
with them it is anything to get mar
riéd! Haven't you noticed it? i
“I don’t suppose you and Tom would:
care to go into the card club we are
forming. The refreshments and prizes.
.are quite simple, but I know what
a drein every little thing is on the
purse of newlyweds struggling to get
along. I thought you wouldn't, so E
filled in with some friends of mine—
they live in that great house around’
.the corner with the big garage. Cve:
just met them recently—the Bippers..
Of Bipper & Co., you know. Oh, dear,
me, of course that doesn’t mean any
thing to you.” i
“Mr. Bipper,” said the pink-cheeked.
bride sweetly, “is my uncle, and
am afraid you can't have them in yous :
club, because they are starting shorts
ly on a year’s absence in Europe, They,
want Tom and me to live in thai
house while they are gone, so they
can keep their servants and chauffeurs
and have the place open. That is why
we stopped settling here. Did yom
know Tom had gone into the firm with.
my uncle?”
“Really?” stammered® the caller.
“Well, I must say it’s nice for Tom'
that he picked out a wife with rieh
relations—so much of the success f=.
this world is just luck! But what fm:
the world will you ever do with the
Bippers’ four automobiles?” .
“Well,” said the little bride meekiry,
“we had six at home, counting my
brother's racing car, so—"
“Goodness, how late it is!” said the
caller, getting to her feet hastily. “I
must be running along!” :
Sensitive Fish.
Mrs. Jones, not having much conf-
“| dence in the abilities of her servant,
went to market herself. Approaching
the fishwife’s stall, she asked the prica
cf a large carp.
“Sixty cents,” was the reply.
The lady examined the fish and ex
claimed:
“It's not fresh!” t
“I tell you it is!” replied the fish
wife. 4
“But it's quite #abby!”
