I Her Too Kind
Friend I
"What a beautiful sable scarf!" said
one of Elsie Baker's friends. "Did you
get it In Europe or did Santa Claus
bring it to you?"
"I got it in quite a different way
from either of those you suggest,"
said the owner of the scarf.
"It is a perfect beauty," declared the
appreciative friend.
"I only wish," said Elsie, sadly,
"tliat it wasn't so elegant. There is a
story that goes with the scarf.
"You know I had been saving my
money for ages for a European trip
and the last of September the mana
ger of our office gave me an eight
weeks' leave of absence. Well, I gay
ly left Chicago one chilly evening.
You have no idea, Bess, how often I've
regretted that evening wasn't warm.
If it had been I should have been
saved a world of worry and expense.
"My one wealthy friend, Mrs. Bar
clay, was among those who came to
the station to see me off. She wore a
beautiful fur scarf. It was so pretty
and becoming that I admired it open
ly. To my great surprise, she removed
it from her own neck and threw it
around mine.
'You must take it, Elsie,' she said.
'It will be just the thing on the ship.'
"Of course, I protested, but she in
sisted that I would need It. She sim
ply wouldn't allow me to decline it,
and I could only accept her lcindnesE
gratefully.
"By the time I arrived in New York
there was a decided change in the
weather. The morning I went down
to the steamer it was so warm that 1
couldn't even wean my serge travel
ing coat. In my excitement over the
new scenes about me I went to the
ship very early and had the fun ol
watching the other passengers come
aboard. It wasn't until a delicate old
woman, wrapped in furs, cams up the
gang-plank that I thought of the sable
scarf. Then I realized with sicken
ing clearness that I had left it in my
room in the hotel!
"I rushed to the first man I saw who
had brass buttons and asked how long
It would be before we should sail.
He said we'd go in about an hour. 1
flew down the gang-plank and called
wildly to a taxi chauffeur who was
just leaving after bringing a party to
the boat. I told him that if he would
take me to the hotel and back in
three-quarters of an hour I'd give him
two dollars in addition to the regular
fare. He whirled me away and, to mj
great relief, I recovered the scarf.
"We got back to the ship in less
than 45 minutes—and then we didn't
sail until night!
"Think of all the money I had wast
ed on that unnecessary cab! But that
was just the beginning of a long series
of mishaps with that ill-fated scarf.
"I wore it on top of a bus in London
and a portly man, forcing his way by
me to take his seat, brushed it off my
shoulders and it fell to the pavement
I stopped the bus and, descending
hastily to the street, caught my skirt
and tore the braid off and tripped my
self in it as I started to run back half
a block to get the scarf. A big Lon
don bobby helped me to my feet and
picked up the fur. Then he sternly
told me to be more careful, meanwhile
staring at me quite suspiciously.
"Things like that were always hap
pening to me throughout the trip.
Every recollection I have of my trav
els is fraught with some trying ex
perience with that scarf. But the
grand finale was on the voyage
home.
"One frightfully windy day the scarf
was blown off my steamer chair,
where I had left it while taking ray
morning walk. The last I saw of it
the horrid thing was sliding down the
steep incline of the deck under the
rail into the ocean!"
"Couldn't you catch it?"
"I tried to, frantically, but the sea
was so rough that I couldn't run.
There was no one near to rescue the
fur, so it was lost at sea.
"The first thing I did after I got
home was to borrow money to buy an
other scarf for Mrs. Barclay. I don't
mind telling you that in consequence
I shall be financially embarrassed for
some time.
"I got a sable scarf as near like the
other as possible, paying a slightly
reduced price with the condition that
the purchase was not to be returned
or exchanged under any circum
stances. Then I went to see Mrs.
Barclay.
"As I started to give her the scarf
she said: 'Why, Elsie, my dear child,
that scarf is yours, not mine. Didn't
you understand that I meant you to
keep it as a gift from me?"
"Really, Bess, it was hard for me
to look properly grateful. In fact, it
was all I could do to keep from say
ing, bitterly: 'Why didn't you tell
me so in the first place?'"
"I don't wonder that you were an
gry," said the sympathetic friend.
Just a Chance.
"Freddie, you'd better take out an
accident policy."
"Oh, don't you know, I'm very care
ful about trucks and motors."
"Still, some day a thought might
strike you."
Legal Impossibility.
"What do you think of a boy only
nineteen becoming a drum major?"
"Couldn't be."
"l!ut I tell you. he is."
"I tell you he isn't. How can a
ntlnpr be a majorf
DOLE'S
DIARY
When I learned last week that" Miss
Van Renssalaer of New York was vis
iting Mary Townsend I decided to give
a bridge luncheon in ner honor.
"We needn't have a caterer," I said
to mother, who, as usual, objected on
the score of expense, to my entertain
ing. "I wish to have just a quiet, in
formal little affair and I really think
that Cousin Fannie's delicious cooking
is more elegant than anything we
could get from a caterer."
"But Fannie intended going out to
your Uncle John's this week," protest
ed mother. "I suppose I could get up
the lunch myself."
"Indeed, you couldn't," I replied. "T
want you to he dressed in your gray
satin and help me receive and enter
tain the guests, as good form dictates
that a mother should. Cousin Fannie
won't in the least mind postponing her
visit to the farm. She wouldn't be so
selfish as to go when we need her so
much at home, would you, dear Cou
sin Fannie?" I asked, as she entered
the room where mother and I were
talking.
Although mother protested that she
must not change her plans for us.
Cousin Fannie, after I had told her
how much I disliked having mother
cook for it always makes her so un
becomingly hot and flustered—said she
would give up her trip to Uncle John's
place for the present.
I really felt that I had done her a
good turn by Inducing her to stay at
home, for it must he dreary in the
country now.
As soon as I had set the day for the
party and had telephoned my invita
tions I went out to Frances Mars
den's, for in looking over the linen for
the luncheon a happy idea had oc
curred to me.
"I happen to remember," I said to
Frances, "that you have some hand
some napkins, which match our tulip
pattern tablecloth. I wonder if you will
lend them to me for a little bridge
luncheon I am going to give for Miss
Van Renssalaer."
"Oh, are you going to entertain for
her?" asked Frances. "Of course, you
may take the napkins. I'll be glad to
help you in any way I can. I shall be
so pleased to meet Miss Van Renssa
laer, for I've heard she is most inter
esting."
I can't understand why Frances
should have been so gauche as to as
sume that she was to be invited. It
was very awkward for me to have to
explain that I was asking only girls.
Her manner of staring at me in cold
surprise did not make it. any easier for
me.
"But, dear," I said, in conclusion, "if
any one of the girls can't come I'll
make an exception and have you, even
if you are married.'"
'That's remarkably kind of you, Lu
cile," she answered, "but now that I
think of it I'm quite certain I shall be
engaged on the day of your luncheon.
Here are the napkins. I'm sure that I
don't have to tell you that I am very
choice of my best linen, which was
part of my wedding outfit"
"I shall take the best possible care
of them," I rejoined, pleasantly, though
I did thfnk it rather unmannerly of her
to remind me to be careful of things
that I borrowed. Poor Frances is oc
casionally crude in some of the little
things of life that really count so
much.
"Lucile," remonstrated mother when
I showed her the napkins, "why did
you get these? Ours are good enough,
even if they don't match the cloth, and
I'm sure that Tilly can never Iron
these to suit Mrs. Marsden, who is
very fastidious."
"Now, mother, please don't borrow
trouble about that, for I shall take all
the responsibility," I said, in the gen
tle, reassuring lone that I am cultiva
ting.
"Surely you don't think you can iron
them yourself," said mother.
"Just leave the matter to me," I
smiled in answer.
The morning after the luncheon,
which was completely successful, I
sent the napkins to a steam laundry
with father's shirts and collars. When
tliey came back Saturday I took them
right over to Frances, who untied the
package at once.
"Why, Lucile, what's this?" she
asked, in a horrified tone. "They have
ink marks on them!"
I was much surprised to see fa
ther's three initials printed in indelible
ink on each napkin.
"Oh, dear!" I said. "How absurd of
those laundry people! I never thought
of their doing such a thing. How very
annoying!"
"Annoying! I should say it is an
noying," snapped Prances, fairly glar
ing at me over the napkins.
She appeared so frightfully upset
that I thought she would be better
alone, so I quickly took my leave. She
scarcely looked up as I said good-by.
What a mistake it is for people to
make such tragedies of the small mis
haps of life! I think It indicates a
narrow nature. It certainly shows a
•ad lack of poise.
An Apt Description.
"Ever see a mermaid, Jim?" asked
Dusty Rhodes, as he threw himself
down on the
Bands
alongside of

"Yass," said Jim.
"What did she look like?" asked
Dusty.
"Oh, I d'no—rather like a lady cut
decollety, with a hobble skirt around
her propeller," said Jim.—Harper's

The Freight Car Test
Several years ago five freight cars were started over the
Harriman lines on a roofing test. One was roofed with
Vulcanite and the other four carried competitive brands.
The hardest test of roofing in the whole world is found on the
top of a freight car. The Harriman test cars were traveled all
over the American continent for a period of two years. From
the blasting heat of the deserts of the South-West to the ice
bound fastnesses of the extreme North the cars were kept on
the move practically every day of the twenty-four months. The
rocking and swaying of the moving train strained and pulled
on the roof continually. Sudden changes of temperature—
intense heat and destroying cold and live coals and sparks
from the engine pouring ceaselessly down on the roofs.
Truly this was a case of survival of the fittest. Vulcanite was
the only test car that came through unharmed.
Vulcanite roofing as a result of this test was adopted as the
only roofing to be used on the freight cars of the Harriman lines.
As a result of a similar test the Rock Island lines have also adopted
760 Old)
Woven Roofing
and in both cases the Vulcanite test cars without a drop of paint or penny's
worth of repairs are in active use today.
Now taking into consideration the fact that Vulcanite costs no more than
other good ready roofings, isn't it to your advantage to roof your buildings
with it? Isn't it reasonable to suppose that Vulcanite, the only roof that
made good on the freight car test among the live best roofings on the mar
ket, will outwear any other on your buildings)
Let our dealer tell you a few things about roofing. Information that you
should have is vours for the asking. Or if you prefer—write us direct.
