AT THE BAZAAR
By DOROTHY BLACKMORE.
(Copyright, 1914, by the McClure Newspa-
per Syndicate.)
“1t’s the first really American thing
I've seen the girls take an interest
in,” remarked young George Cameron
He was selecting a tie to match the
border on his handkerchief and the
stripe in his shirt.
“It is patriotic, isn’t it?” acquiesced
Willis Moore, as he twirled his stick
like a drum major. “I fancy the ba
zaar will be a jolly bore though.”
His friend turned on him. “Not at
all. The prettiest things in town are
to, be models and they'll be diked in
cotton from top to toe. Being well
known—get that ?—cotton brokers, you
and I will be expected to attend and
give our support.”
“I think you'll give a good deal of
tone with all those matched-up rags
of yours,” Moore twitted his friend.
“Me for the cotton bazaar, rags or |
Come on!”
The two men left the bachelor
! apartment and found their way to the
armory where the great cotton bazaar
wus being held by the women of the
town. Cotton, was to be on exhibi-
tion and for sale in every conceivable
form to educate the public in its uses
and in this way help the country to
dispose of its output in view of the
European war.
George Cameron and Willis Moore
stood astonished at the doors as they
approached. There were crowds every-
where, and not even the regiment on
dress parade had brought so many out-
siders to the armory builging.
“Some bazaar,” laughed Moore.
{ no rags,
The two men strolled about from |
one exhibit to another. Cameron was |
interested in the bazaar purely from a |
business standpoint and he took pleas- |
ure in learning of new uses for cotton. |
Willis Moore, he admitted it, was as |
much interested in the pretty girls
displaying their wares and acting as
models for various cotton garments as
he was in the exhibition from its prac-
tical point of view.
“Cotton gloves! Gentlemen’s cotton
evening gloves!” said a pleasant voice
from within a booth.
Cameron would have gone on, but
his friend turned to the girl and he
could not do otherwise than follow.
“They don’t look so bad, eh,
George?” "Willis said, taking a pair
from the girl’s hand.
Cameron looked at them and then
into the face of the girl who was offer-
ing them for sale. He stopped short
| and dropped the gloves on the floor.
Seeing that he was a fifth wheel
‘on the wagon, Moore stepped on, and
his friend went nearer to the glove
booth. There, was no other girl at the
stand but the one who had offered the
r that still lay on the floor. Cam-
: as if suddenly recalling the
os, stepped back and picked them
‘up. “Ill buy this pair, Helen, since
‘them ‘by my: stupidity.” :
“Oh,”
‘| negdn’t—unless you like. But—I tink’
they're your size.”
“It’s strange to find you Selping with
anything so—so useful and patriotic
and—and thrifty, I might say,” George
said, a little bitterly. i
“Not nowadays,” Helen said prompt-
1y, not noticing the bitter note in his
voice. id
“You've changed?”

“Don’t say any more. Let me come

“Buying up the whole stock,
George?” interrupted Willis Moore, ir-
relevantly, stepping up to them.
“Will you?” whispered George.
Helen dodded, laughing. George in-

three talked of nothing for a few mo-
ments.
