AndTakes.the Oredit of Pleasing HO jut The Saes Girl now * sitter, Dahby poked his head inside tl oflice and nodded ,tiiidly at the gi at the desk. "I8 this the place where you se patterns?" lie aAkqd. 'Yes,'' said the girl. ''What you want?" $I want. a pattern. "What Itind?' N,ow you've got me. What kii would you want if you were me?' "That depends. Who is it for?' "My wife.'' "11 she young?" "Five years younger than It" "That's not answering my que tion.'' ''Oh, isn't it? I thought it wa Yes, she's young..She was 35 the 101 of last November." ',The girl looked Danby up and dow with unblinking co.olness. ''Dear me,' she said, ''how son folks do hold th6ir own." There was a pause. ''It is hard work,'' ventured tl: girl presently, "for a man to select becoming pattern for-a wo'man. Wi didn't your wife come herself?'' ''She couldn't. She has the rhet matism and can't get out of the hous You advertised a sale of $1.50 pa terns for 13 cents today only. SI couldn't afford to let the bargain sli so she asked me to get a pattern f< - her.'' ''She must have faith in your judl ment." "She has reason to. 'Why?" ''I married her.'' "That is no sign you can buy pattern for her dresses. Most me can please a woman by wanting I marry her, but few can keep on plea ing by choosing her clothes afte ward.' - "There may be something in thia still, I've got to get a pattern. Whi would you advise?'' ''It all depends upoi your wife style. What kind of looking woni is she?" ''Stunning." "That is too indefinite. There ai lots of stunning women .in New Yor] and no two of them look alike. Noi if you could only point out somebod "I can. Her eyes are like-whi is the color of your eyes, please?" Gray.'' So they are. I hadn't got cloi enough to get a good look at them b fore. My wife's eyes are gray. Th< are like your. They've got those san little purplish specks around the pi pil that are found in only one pair eyes in a million." "It depends, too, upon the materir If she has a voile gown-'' ''It is voile. I heard her say last night. Her ntose is like your too, only yours turns up a lithe b more just at the end. And her hai is that same shade of browvn. Hi *complexion is a little muddy now, < account of the rheumatism, but wvh she is well her color is as fresh ar delicate as yours.'' ''The eyes, nose, hair and sk really have little to do with thme sele tion of a becoming pattern. They a not hard to fit. It is the figure thi counts. If you could give me son idea of the height-" 'She's tall.'' "Here is a pattern that I thir would suit her. Thme skirt hanigs folds-" "Oh, that is oiie of those balloor things with sixteen d rawstrini around the wvaist. .I think they \a beastly ugly. I swore when I left t1 house that I wouldn 't get one - them.'' "I have one of them on now. friendti think it rather becoming.'' "Stand back a minute and let n see. Yes, that does look nice, bl then you would look charming in an; tIhing." ''Thank you. If you had only r membered to bring your wife 's men urements along-" 'I have them right here in n1 pocket. Waist, 28; hips, 44-a-ahei Seems to me that's a little more r *bust-" The girt clasped her hands at< ther side of her 21 waist. "It is rather,'' sh.e said, ''but th style of dress is very popular. Ever body wears it." ''AIl right, I'll take it. What he use of having a wife if you can ess her in the style?"''

South Carolina are stirred to their utmost emotions upon the question of the state dispensary. In ,Georgia this institution has worked in a satisfactory and1 success I fl way. In Rome, in Athens, and in other places its 'results havV beeif in the main entirely satisfactory tb tile 1o people, helpful to ptublic revenue, re ducing disorders, diminishing dirunk enness and vindicating itself in a wholesome w,ay. A But ill South Carolina the dispen sary seems to have fallen into the hands of the political ring, who havo made it an enginery of corruption, fraud, triekery and every other inho ly thing that distresses politics and disturbs public integrity in the state. Even so steady and conservative a paper ns the Charleston News and Courier speaks of the dispensary as tile ''essential iniquity of tile times,'' and declares that the issue of de n stroying it subordinates and over whelms every other issue that con eerns the people of South Carolina. It declares that. beside this institiltioll entrenched in spoils and corruption, tile state itself had come to look small, a - 'ic'yune and puny; that 'a perni iolus political machine'' has grown, that a ''bereaved lobby'' has develop ecd, and that the ''willing ring ''in ev ery c ounty exhibits tile energy, as well as the eagerness of swine, who ie scufilngly clamber over all obstacles to the swill trough. It declares that the alignment in this question and campaign is anl array of honesty against larceny, of virtuous citizens against vicious government, of com mon decency against spreading cor ruption. The gross corruption, says a the News and Cottrier, festers every where, it is too palable and too im pudent; and to prate of cleansing and rehabilitating this thing, born as a nake-shift and subterfuge, nourished for partisan advantage, and tirough all its years reeking with ever-in creasing offence, is to trifle with facts, to deny the obvious, and to fight 01) the side of a public crime. The shibboleth of the hiour in South Carolina is ''the dispensary must be destroyed.'' It is difficult to imagine how two in stititions could work so differently k, in two comralde states, hying side by l side, with only a narrow stream di viding them. The dispensary in it South Carolina is 'described by vir tuous and conservative papers as tHIe sum total of all iniquities. In Geor gia, it is looked upon by able and con secrated statesmen as the only possi - ble solution, within conservative lines, ty of tile liq4or question in the state. Here, then, we have a wide and sweeping difference. The only possi ble explanation to be found is in the fact that from carelessness, and apit ' thy, and indifference in South Caro linia, tile dispenisary has been alloweud hO t.o develop into a vast political ma ' chine. That seems to be the burden it of tile..complaint and tile gist of the irtiquity ini it. rIf then in Georgia wve shlall be able nto learn wisdom from the mistakes or nSouth Carolina, and to compass and dsurrouInd our dispensary institutions with suhl conditions and wvithi such nsafeguards as will shut out the ele ment o'f selfishl polities, and prevent ed the creation of a political ring around t its workings, and at tile same time preserve tile good features which have giv'en muchl of pleasure and of satis kfaction to thoughtful statesmen upon inthis line, the state of Georgia wvill be nable to save to tile moral element of the times a great experiment and a great agent of uIsefuhlness for tile tem rs perance cause ini the future.. If the dispensary withlout polities is a good thing as tile experience of Georgia seems to have demonstrated, thlen if Georgia can further demnl strate that it is possible to have the de<ispensary withiotut polities, Georgia will hlave done a service to Carolina tanId to the great cause of temperance Sthroughout tile country and the wvorld. e- Vherefore, tile injunction would seem to be clear, and tile duty obvions to those who are advocates of thlis in stitultion in this state, thit with all their hearts and wvith all their hands, and withI all their brains, they shoulId set thlemselves to tile mighlty task of excluding politics and tile possibility of political rings from an institution whlich is set to the furtherance and perfection of a mighty moral reform, An Unconscious Humorist. ,Washington Star.
