Businea woman (plalntlvely)--"It does seem to me that I am never free from the thrall of the hat. Just after Christmas It begins to hang over me like a pall, and when the spring hata really begin to sprout. In the windows I get perfectly morbid." (Speaks very humbly to haughty saleswoman.) "It you could wait on us, please, It would be so kind of you. Something small. If you please." ' (To , sister while haughty saleswoman departs in search of hat). "Dear -me! I wish I didn't get so positively abject on these occas ions. I know some people who really get a bitter satisfaction out of sailing Into exclusive millinery establish ments, where the hats are dreams ot beauty and becomlngness, ' and de manding to be shown - confections whose prices send the cold chills down one's back, and then departing with a dissatisfied shake of the head. But not so L I fell Impudent when I cast even a glance at the wonderful things." (Haughty saleswoman returns baV ancing a hat on her hand. She looks bored to extinction. Business woman removes her much battered, squashy and obviously home made headgaar and hands it to her sister. She looks doubtfully at the hat In the saleswom an's hand). Business woman "It looks awfully ' big." ; ' Saleswoman "It's the smallest hat in the house, madam. Small hats are not worn at all." '' Business woman (hastily) "Oh, of course, I know the hats are all big. But you see my face is so small that when I get one of these large things on I look just like a monkey." I really don't think it's worth while for me to try it on. I'm sorry to trouble you, but if you could find something that wouldn't sit quite bo far down on my head, I'd be so much obliged." (She smiles pathetically and the saleswom an flounces away). Sister (disgustedly) "You're worse than abject, Sarah. You're perfectly maudlin." (Haughty saleswoman returns and suddenly engulfs business woman In a hat about two feet high and with a crown like a scrubbing pall). Business women (gasps) "Oh, ' dear! Where am I? Why, really, dont yon think this one is bigger than the other!" Saleswoman "No, madam; it is not" ' " Business woman (looking forlornly and apologetically toward showcase) "But some of those, hats are small er, aren't they?

Haughty sales woman turns away with an air of deep disdain.) Business woman (almost in tears) 'Why won't they be nice to me1 If they only realized it, I'm such an an easy mark. A kind person could sell me anything." Sister (Impatiently) "Oh, have a little backbone. I'm perfectly ashamed of you. Now, there's a pretty hat and a little one at that Ask that girl over there to take it out and show it to you." ' .; - Business woman (after bracing her self to the effort of addressing an other goddess of the millinery world, fades away in deep humiliation upon being told that the price of the hat in question Is $25) "She could tell by the quiver In my voice that it was not for the likes of me." Sister "Why didn't you make her take it out and show it to you, any way f That's what they're here for." Business woman (after vainly trav eling up and down and around and around counters and showcases) "Do you suppose if I wore one of these I would lose my Job?" . Sister "Here, try this one. Now, if you had a big bandeau so that you would look a little as if you had on a hat and not a necklace. Business , woman (gratefully) "How cheering you are!

Six hundred and eleven dollars for a bit of dainty head gear that Mrs. "Tiny" Holmes, the wife of a tobacconist, describes as a "peach of a hat," may have to be paid by her husband if the court decides against him. Mrs. Holmes bought the hat at the price of $30, but Mr. Holmos refused to pay the bill. The milliner sued. She won, but Holmes appealed and again appealed when Judgment went against him for the second time. Attorneys' fees and costs have plied up until the amount due Is $611.90. . Holmes will keep on appeal ing, he says, no matter if the cost of the hat runs into fee millions.

The shop man, ' not in the least taken aback, dipped his fingers in a bowl and drew a line a yard long on the coun ter. Fat, not wishing to be caught in his own trap, asked the price.

Banana flour specially prepared as tonic food is making Its appearance in Parts. Within a recent period this fruit was but little used In Fraiice, and even now its consumption la lim ited. However, measures are being taken to increase the Importation, and It is said that seventy vessels were recently fitted up for bringing- the fruit to Europe. Banana flour has a much more extended use in England than on the continent, but efforts are now made to introduce it In France, owing to its great nutritious value.

WIDOW'S TROUBLES ARE OVER How a Long Island Woman Secured "Help" to Work Her Farm Team Work Now. l3t James, L. I. Everybody in St. James who knew the Widow Heim lich is glad her troubles are over and .that she has a husband to help work her six acre farm. . After the death ot her husband 18 months ago she found her farm too much to till with her cv.n hands. So when she saw an advertisement in newspaper, Inserted by Martin Hal) of New Tork, asking for a wife, she hastened to reply. Hall said he was expecting a fortune of $85,000 from Germany and would settle $25,000 of it upon the woman he married. The widow and Hall met. Hall was sixty-two and the widow forty-eight They agreed to marry and fixed last December 15 as the date. But Hall did not appear. In reply to a letter from him a few weeks later, asking if he could call, she said yes. The up shot of the interview was that Hall went to work on the farm. He quit weeding and hoeing a month ago and, leaving his clothes, went to New Tork. This was too much for the widow and she tried to sell the farm. Among the men to look at it was Jacob Brig, an Insurance inspec tor of Hoboken, N. J. The widow showed him about the place and then asked, hopefully: "Do you want to buy the farmf "How large is ltr asked Brig. The widow told him it was " six acres. "That's too large for me," said Brig. "I haven't any wife to make life here endurable and to help with the work." The widow cast down her eyes. A sudden light came into those ot the insurance man. ; "Say, say," he exclaimed, you aren't looking for a husband, are youT" , The widow blushed. Well, she didn't Just know if she would put it that way, but but he might call tomor row and she would think about it Well, the insurance man did call "tomorrow" and the next day and the next and the next to such good effect that the widow and Brig were made . team the other day in the St James Episcopal church to work the six-acre farm each had found too large for single harness. Today Hall returned to St James. He was told the news. This shocked him so much he had to go to a drug store and let the "doe tor" prescribe something. After he got his clothes without so much as a glance from Mrs. Brig he threatened to sue for breach of prom ise. 0LO AGE RISKS IN FRANCE Number Who Are Registered Under Law Increasing Every Year,, Statement 8hows. Paris. Leon Bourgeois, minister of labor, has tabulated statistics up to July 1 of the number of persons woo have registered themselves for old age Insurance in accordance with the terms of the law of 1910, as amended In February. Mil According to returns received from prefects of departments, the number ot persons under obligation to insure now registered is 7,029,008, or an in crease of 273,930 since the previous quarter day, April L The number of registered persons In France under an obligation tq Insure is about 12.000.000. . The government, it Is understood, regards the returns of July 1 as fair ly satisfactory in view of the fact that It has not been possible to apply actu al compulsion, owing to an adverse dftclHlnn of the court of cassation. A new bill making Insurance effectively compulsory for the working classes Is to be Introduced In the chamber cext session, and it will have every prospect of niHslnt. It Is In view of this situation that the date for the practical application of comnulHlon wis postponed till NOT OF HEART Real Facts In Regard To F. R. CufTman $ Illness. Kenei us , teincd By Curing His . -. . Stomacn Ailments. Waynesville,N.C. Mr. F.R. Huffman, Of this city, says ; ..."

MOSES Declares Purpose To Lead Repub licans Out of Wilderness. Washington, Nov. IS.There will be no reorganization of the Republican i party that leaves President Taft ..put of ii or that ignores the conservative element which he represents! Thi:-- much Mr.' Taft has nia.lc perfectly clear to all comers. ' Soon after the election, the President announced that, while be would retire to private life after .March 4, he would devote histime to a rehabilitation of the party organization that he has led upon the rocls and to the conservative or "constitutional government." Since therrhre lias told friends, or.i after another that he meant to fight for the principles upon which his cam paign .for the principles i pon which he made his campaign. He wants the judiciary left unrestricted, he favors a high protective system and he de sires the trusts destroyed. Therefore, . he said, he would not abandon the party or the people who had remained loyul to it when forces from within as well as from without were seeking to accomplish its ruin. He himself wouW lead in any reor ganization that might be necessary and he would not stand aside for doubt ful friends of the party to take up the work. Now he has put out a formal state ment to the same effect. He declares in it that the Progressive party stands for impossibilities, that "quack" reme dies are proposed and that the leader of the movement are trying to force socialism upon the country more effeci tiveiy than is the Socialist party itself. A tthe same time the President resents any move by the J.a Follelte-Cummins-Keynoii-Hadley combination to resurrect the old party and imbue it with life, He, suspects that thci are not believers in Republicanism, but that they , are seeking to deliver the Republicans" of the country into alien hands. This he means ro- pre vent if he can do it. : This last statement of the President is a direct challenge to the Progrcssivf leaders who remained in the party but who gave it no sympathy and only quasi support, senator tummin9, lor instance, voted Nfor Roosevelt, but siad he was against-a third party. Senator La Follette deoivered the bulk of his friends in Wisconsin to. Wilson. Sena tor Kenyon'said he was for Taft, but refused to mention . the President's name in his campaign. Governor Had tey .wobbled as N jng as he could, then half-heartlcdy came out for the Presi dent.' ' V. ; These are the men whom the Presi dent distrusts. He does not believe they are friends of the old party and will refuse to commission them as the official reorganizes. He strikes at them boldly" id hi statement, though be finds no occasion to call their names directly. - ' Of course there U no compromise between Tilt and Roosevelt. The President believe that the , Colonel voluntarily ex-communicated himself in so far as Republicanism is concerned He is willing, too, that the ex-President shall burn all bridge behind him and refuse forever to rebuild thein. He is glad the Colonel is off the. ofd reser vation for the good of the reservation. WANT HEALTH CERTIFICATES Illinois Woman's Cluba Would Pro tect Marriage. Aurora, 111., Nov. 16.
