It is a common fallacy that a 7*an pays his defbts because he had money. This is not necessarily true. On the contrary, the matter of paying has only" a remote rela tion to money. "On the one hand is your friend villi abundance of money, who can not be cajoled, threatened. - : aUa 1 beaten or gasseu into paying uk mov.;t ordinary debt. "On the other hand, the poor fellow without a visible dollar? ] you know him? who is johnny on ( the Invoice. Money has little to do < with either case. It is the bre?d of * the men. l "The man who pays is the man ? wh? thinks in advance. He never 1 flashes a roll; he does not drive a 1 car and carry a mortgage at the : same time; he does not hang up the butcher or the grocer for food 1 that he cannot afford to eat. He never throws the "'bull" nor pitches the bluff, nor grives notes, nor writes checks dated tomorrow, ' but when the ibiils come in he is there with the coin of the realm, ' God ibless him! "Sometimes he feels sore at the rest of us. He does not see that < he gets on any 'better than the fel low who skins as he does. Still 'he jroes on an on, pays and pays, sim ply because it is in the breed. "And after all, the World does think a lot of his breed. The man who pays is the bulwark of socie ty. He is the main spring of com merce. Business blesses him and he has honor among men for alii time."

NOVELTIES THAT HIDE THE UGLY TELEPHONE N'ew York Sun. is you? teiepnone smipiy an ugiy piece of necessity? Does it rank in your mind with the furnace or the storm door or the kitchen sink? Something that you couldn't be civilized and com fortable without, but, something nevertheless that is a blot always on the otherwise charming landscape >f your house? Some persons simply ignore the stiff little black nstrument that means so much of convenience and pleasure in our modern lives. They io't see it. Every other object in the roam, in the house, may be put :here with care as to its line and :olor, but the telephone?that is just a black, stiff, little necessity. r? ho sure. it would jar on one's sight, if one Saw it?but one simply gnores it, doesn't see it. So are some women. Other women fret and fume ibout its ugliness. Why fret and fume Why not jeautify it, cover it up? There are many ways of doing ;his. You can, for one thing, have >ne of these little dolls to cover it vith. However, don't use a doll un ess your room is suited to it.

But of :ourse it may economy for you o buy the finished product, for rou may have neither time, taste lor ability to make it. The dolls, of course, come in all K>rts of prices, but some of them :ost $75. Ridiculous, of course. But he saleswoman points out that the 111 is a French one, very difficult fo jet, very rare. Her few curls are jal ones, and the bit of lace draped ilbout her shoulders or flouncing ler stiff silk petticoats is real, too. rherefore, you see how absurd it aroulld ibe to ask a smaller price? It is really, a fascinating bit of ivork to dress one of these dolls. JTou can do it if you have any knack it dressing rdinary children's dolls, knd it is easier, for, of course, the :lothes are sewed on and don't need Any hooks and eyes and button holes or French seams or such sew ing as makes them strong for childish fing&rs to put on and off. You just pin your fabrics into posi tion and take a few strong stitches -r-^nd the job is done. V/m, nan won wit. strands of tiny pearl or other beads around the doll's neck and wrists, you can con :oct a fan out of a few fronds from an old ostrich feather, you can make a little hag of silk and lace, ar a tiny handkerchief of fine mus lin, you can put together a little bat of diminutive flowers and a few puffs of silk. It is all very delightful and, of course, you can carry out any color scheme you wish to use. Sme houses are constructed with special telephone cupboards or booths, fitted with an electric light, a comfortable chair and telephone books and pads and pencils for tak ing messages. Some women improvise little booths in the corner of a coat closet. And other women use beach chairs for the telephone, wherein they may sit comfortably while they take their messages. Of course, too, there are the regular telephone tables that are such a convenience, with a swing ledge for the telephone, slides for the ibooks and a little chair of just the right height that tucks under them. Don't forget the telephone list pad and a memorandum pad as well. One fitted with a pencil, a clock and a calendar is a novelty that is especially worth while. I f f f f 111 $102! | ? ^^^^^announ< ?
