LOOKING TO THE FUTURE As Much Reason for Business Woman to Save as There Is lor a Business Man. The average business woman has never learned to save. She goes at it spasmodically. She revels in a virtuous streak, when half of each week's salary iroes into the bank, and then she revels in a reckless one, when it all comes out again. Xobody wants to be . a calamity howler, nobody wants to preach the hard time that's coming. But there's a difference between dismal forebodings and ordinary foresight. The average girl who earns a good salary, either in business or a pro fession, looks at the future rather lightly. Perhaps in the background of her mind she imagines that she will be married some day, and that will settle it. But there have been some cases where matrimony did not solve the financial question. The price of a home would be a welcome sight to many a woman who has counted on marriage as an eicuse for not thinking it necessary to look ahead. A new suit and a good time are pleasant enough today, but there is a vast difference between the woman who is alone at fifty with a good bank account and the woman who is alone at fifty without one. If we are going to pride ourselves on being efficient business women, why don't we carry the thing clear through and try as hard to make a few good investments for the future as our brothers do??Exchange. kin ntwinciune I*U Ul V I UL.I1 UO He?Yes, Miss Snookums, I'ra i looking for a life partner.

Lean and terribly earnest, the j man broke into Barrows' study. "I am the prophet Micah," he an- j nounced, ''and I have a need for your service. The world is soon to come to an end. Could you not spread the tidings through the university?" Doctor Barrows shook his visitor by the hand, collected his thoughts and replied: "I believe that at no time was there such a crying need for prophets. But, unfortunately, prophesying is an art with which I am unfamiliar, i am no, even in close sympathy with it, and, as I am unable to comprehend what you have accomplished, 1 confess inability to participate as a prognosticator." . Whether it was the unexpected reply or the quick fire of so many words that dazed the visitor will never be known. Certain is is the man backed to the door and uttered the inadequate reply, "Yes." LIGHTNING AND TROLLEY CARS. There are few more effective agencies for the harmless conduction of electricity between the earth and air than the trolley electric car. It has often been "struck'' by lightning, but with injury only to persons who jumped olf in fright from the crackle and flame. If it is true, as a report from West Virginia has^it, that a passenger,on such a car has been killed by lightning, it will be an instance of the kind in this country standing almost if not quite alone.?

I LADY OF THE LABEL i . I By DORCTHY BLACKMORE. J ? The fact that Barker began life aa a corner store groceryman did not detract from his lovableness. It was that charming personality of his that made his business so great a success. In a remarkably short time he climbed from the retail to the wholesale district and later his clever business acumen placed him among the noted importers of foreign delicacies. During his only trip to the continent he had discovered a little community of people tucked away in sunny Italy. The grapes they grew we. a marvelous and without lose of time Barker bad contracted for the entire output in th? form of raisins. He put a new brand on the market. Dushed and advertised It with a vigor the result of which made the little band of workers under the Italian skies open their eyes. Incidentally it filled their purses with the golden lira. Barker noted, with commendation, to the packers, that in proportion to his increased demand for raisins, the packages improved in daintiness and artistically designed labels. The first shipment that came with a new label brought an excitement of admiration from Barker. There was a most bewitching face smiling at him from a medallion-shaped wreath of flowers. He realized that the Italian workers had anticipated his desire and that the label was more attractive than any he himself could have designed. It was unique, the rapidity with which Barker fell a victim to the smiling face that greeted him from each package of raisins that he imported. The very first consignment had prompted him to remove one photolithograph and put it in an antique gold frame that adorned his desk. The corresDondence from his raisin shippers improved with the label. The old, long-hand scrawls were replaced by concise, businesslike communications neatly typed on an up-to-date machine. Barker's interest was so great in this last stop toward progress that he was compelled to write a personal letter commending the Italian workers on their improved office staff and methods. Also he made delicate inquiry as to the personality of the Lady of the Label. , i He waited eagerly for a reply to his letter. Nor was he in any way disappointed, for return mail brought him an answer. Senorita Gamboza herself wrote in reply to all his questions. First 6he gave him an outline of the daily life of the busy little community; that was followed by prettily worded thanks for all that Senor Barker had done in the way of advancing prosperity to them. Finally she gave him the Information for which he hungered. He read the paragraph over a second time. "I would have you know that my dear father conceived the idea of making me his partner. He sent me to London to take a course in caigiisu. and commerce at the Pitt Institute and I now do the correspondence which the senor was good enough to prai6e. The Lady of the Label, as Senor Barker poetically put It, is none other than ray humble self. It waa my father's wish that I adorn the product that has been so good to v*. He bids me thank you for the part yoa have played so generously." The letter was signed Maria Gamboza. Barker became more than ever possessed with the idea of meeting the girl. He longed to look into the original of those smiling eyes and ho determined to take a long-contemplaU ed vacation and sail for Italian shores. When he left his office he took the photograph from his desk and put it v carefully in his suitcase. It was on the ear-tern slope of the Apennines that the Gamtoza villa lay. As Barker made his way through the gardens he marveled at the still* ne6s until he remembered it to be the siesta hour of the afternoon. Very suddenly the incongruous sound of typewriter keys, clicking rapidly, smote his ear. He followed the direction whence the sound came and found himself facing a summer house set amidst a clump of flowering shubbery. The typewriter stopped and a young girl stood framed in the vinehung door. Had the Lady of the Label really appeared? Barker caught a swift breath. The girl was smiling even as did the face on the label. "We have no need of an introduction." It was the girl who spoke first, and her slim hand was extended and her full red lips parted over a row of pearly teeth. "I remember the Senor Barker as if it were but yesterday that he visited our home." Barker's kindly smile came to his rescue. "I did not know that you?that? well?1 have not seen you before," h<i said. "I was very young when ycu came. The senor did not so much as glance in my direction at that time," she said. "1 am going tc make up for my negligence?in the future," he said, halt under his breath, "if I may?my Lady of the Label." Maria Gamboza merely looked at him ss she had dene on that first long"T right cf him?with worship in her eyes. (Cor/right, VV,\. by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) W'rcrsg Way to Proceed.
