Berlin, July 2.-(l$y A. r.)-Ber-tin
it out la contest Paris' claim to
the throne it quern of fashions.
The arrival of American buyeri
for advanced autumn ia!ei it stimu
lating the agitation among fathion
designers of Berlin who are re
doubling their efforts to regain for
the German capital iti prewar rank
among the center which let the
pare for the well-dreised world.
There is reported to be a growing
tendency on the part of foreign buy
ers who ask not for Parisian models
but for those of Berlin costumers
themselves.
Cater to Americana.
Berlin outfitters are engaging in
toilsome work to comply with the
taste of the American buyers who
are found to like the styles of mod
els designed to lend slimness and
youthful appearance to their wear
ers. It is pointed out that Germany
once dressed whole nations because
of the good quality and low prices
of its products, but today it finds a
considerable number of foreign mar
kets barricaded, although, it is de
clared, its goods are better than be
fore the war.
The revived effort by Germany
for reinstatement in the worlds
iashlon marts is evidenced in men's
wear a well as women's. Since the
compulsory tax on textiles was re
moved in 1919. this branch has ex
perienced a notable spurt in the
United States, which is importing
l;.rge quantities of this product.
Most German manufacturers nave
sold their entire winter production
of men's wear and can only accept
further orders for delivery on later
dates thin October and November.

It had teen a most romantic affair;

one evening she had lost her purse;
the had never discovered the lost,;
until the 'bus conductor had come
for the fare; and at the end of i

lie wore a grey suit, immaculately
creased, and a grey bowler hat poised
at a most fascinating angle; there
was a single carnation in his button
hole and white spats over his patent
leather shoes.
When he met her Rare he amiled;
it was a friendly, overfamiliar smile,
but Florrie Jones responded to it im
mediately. "I have lost my purse," she said
impulsively.
The conductor stood scratching his
head and tapping an impatient foot;
he had heard of lost purses before
and was inclined to be incredulous.
The man in the gray bowler thrust
a white, useless looking hand into
a pocket.
"If you will allow me." He pro
duced a sixpence.
The conductor took it nonchalant
ly; it did not matter in the least
to him who paid as long as some
body did; he punched the ticket
counted the change and departed.
The man in the gray bowler
changed his seat to a vacant one
beside Florrie Jones. She was over
whelming in her thanks; she explain
ed over and over again that she had
I never been so careless before; she
confided to him that there had been
a sovereign and some coppers in the
purse; she asked if he thought she
would ever get it back? The man
was polite and sympathetic; he said
he was afraid her property had gone
for good; he said that London was
full of dishonest people. He might

Horse Releases Driver
Caught Under Cornplow
Galena, 111., July 2. A plow horse
relieved the suffering of James
Funston, a farmer, when it pushed
aside a plow under which Funston
was caught, and enabled him to re
lease himself.
Funston wa9 driving a cornplow
on a hillside when it tipped over, pin
ning him beneath. The horses were
tangled in the harness but did not
run away. After being under the
plow for an hour, Funston saw one
of the horses look back; then the
horse walked to the side of the plow
and gave it three pushes, enabling
Funston to release himself.
Funston suffered a fractured leg
and other injuries.
Nine Injured When Train

Pueblo, Colo., July 2. Nine per
sons were seriously injured and sev
eral others sustained minor cuts and
bruises when Missouri Pacific pas
senger train No. 12. eastbound from
Pueblo, struck a stretch of track
weakened by a heavy rain late
Saturday. Six coaches were over
turned, but the engine, baggage car
and rear Pullman remained upright.

train was washed out, making it im
possible to send relief trains to the

10 miles from the wreck, are taking
some of the injured to Fowler.
176 Quarts of Beer Seized

time they parted they were excellent
friends. He gave her his address, at
a swell West End hotel, so that she
might soothe her conscience and re
turn him his tuppence. She gave
him hers at Violette's. She thought
it sounded better than the third-rate
boarding home which her mother and
sister kept down at Clapham.
She walked home the restof the
way treading on air. She dreamed
all night of the way he had raised
the grey bowler when he left her.
She thought his name Afred Su
tore was simply divine 1 She won
dered when they would meet again.
It was a tremendously agreeable sur
prise to find him waiting for her the
next evening outside the side en
trance at Violette's. She blushed and
fluttered when he spoke to her. She
wished all the other girls could see
what a smart man she had got hold
of. When he produced a bunch of
roses and handed them, to her with
one of his charmingly worded speech
es she thought herself a queen.
Every woman in love is a queen

voted courtier. The world her king
dom. Florrie Jones' day was des
tined to be a very short one, but
she lived every hour of it
They went on country excursions
together. He told her incidents
more or less correct of his life.
He said he came of a good family,
which was true. He said he had
money, which was a lie. Florrie
Jones believed him implicitly. She
thought herself the luckiest girl in
the world. She spent half a sover
eign on having her hair' dressed in
new Styles, to see which best. be
came her. She bought a black os
trich feather which she could 'not
afford because Sutore said he thought
them the most graceful trimming
for a woman's hat. She was blindly
and absurdly, in lov.e and believed
him to be the same. ,
As a matter of fact he was mere
ly playing a game a game of which
he knew every single rule. He loved
admiration. He was like a vain worn
an; he believed himself irresistible
to the opposite sex.
The morning after Ronnie was
taken away from Miss Higgs', Flor
rie Jones and Violet were alone in
the dressing room at Violette's.
Florrie Jones was arranging her
hair and humming a gay little song.
When Violet entered she nodded a
cheery good morning to her. She
was in that uplifted (mood when all
the world was hej friend. Then she
saw the tear stains on Violet's face
the drawn, haggard look. , She
swung round from the glass.
"Lord!" she said in kindly dis
may. "The brute hasn't thrown you
over, too, has he?"
Violet stared vacantly. She was
too miserable to resent the blunt in
quiry. She was worn out with the
strength of her ow emotions.
She had spent a horrible night.
Ronnie's empty place had seemed
like a grave. Again and again she
had called his name through the si
lence, sobbing.

Florrie Jones drew her own con
clusion. "I'm not at all surprised." (he said
frankly. "He threw Lena Adams
over. He's got the money and he
doesn't csrr. It isn't likely he'd
meaning anything serious by a girl
from this place."
"J don't know who you're talking
about," said Violet.
She began to take off her coat
and hat. Her head ached miserably.
Her eyes throbbed.
"I'm talking about Ronald Hast
ingsthat's who," said Florrie Jones
tartly. "I've seen him waiting about
outside for you, and I know you had
a day off to go out with him. lie
used to take Lena out, too. She
was craxy about him. I'm sorry for
you if you love him, but"
Violet laughed fiercely.
"I love him?" she echoed scorn
fully. "You're quite mistaken if you
think that. He's nothing at all to
me. I shouldn't care if I never saw
him again."
Florrie Jones stared.
"Oh well, you're lucky to be able
to take it that way," she said. "I'm
afrtid I shouldn't. I've got a boy
and it would just smash me up if
he threw me over." She thought of
Sutore and the immaculate crease of
his trousers. "If you care to come
out to tea with us one day," she said
magnanimously, "I'll introduce you.
He's such a handsome man I"
Violet thanked her absently: she
hurried into her black shop frock
and went downstairs.
Lena eyed her critically as she
passed her beautiful mouth curved a
little contemptuously; she thought
as Florrie Jones had done, that
Hastings was the cause of her grief;
she felt glad that it was so.
The day seemed interminable to
Violet: Madame spoke to her
sharply once or twice; in the after
noon she sent for her to the office.
"What is the matter with you,
Mademoiselle? Are you ill?"
The French woman's black eyes
scanned Violet's white face and
heavy lids suspiciously.
Violet felt the tears rush to her
eyes; she longed to tell some one
any one the whole story of her
grief; to pour out the love and long
ing for little Ronnie; but something
in the prim corsetted figure before
her froze the words on her lips; she
stammered out that she had a headache.
Madame shrugged her shoulders.
"Bienl I thought perhaps it was
a little affair of the heart; we have
no objections to them, Mademoiselle,
but they must not interfere with
business. You may go."
Violet went without a word; she
knew it would be useless to protest
that there was' no love affair trou
bling her; she knew she would not
be believed. She dreaded going: back
to Mrs. Higgs; when she left
Violette's she wandered about star
ing at the shops; in one she came
face to face with the picture of the
chubby child in the sunshine, that
had attracted her attention the day
she first saw Ronnie.
"Where did you come from, baby
dear?"
'Out of the nowhere into herel"
Tears blinded her; she hurried on,
the whole world seemed gray and
desolate; the laugh of a passing child
was like a blow on the heart.
She went into a teashop and or
dered some coffee; her head was
splitting; she leaned back, closing
her eyes while she waited; some one
touched her on the arm; she looked
up to find Florrie Jones bending
over her, anxiety in her sharp eyes.
"Are you ill? We saw. you come
I in. I'm having tta here with my

staring blankly. Violet had risen to
her feet, a ruth of crimson dyeing
)cr white checks; she stared at Su
tore with ryes of distressed recogni
tion, and Sutore stared at her with
undisguised pleasure.
"Alfred," said Violet faintly.
Florrie Jones' thin face took an
ugly pinched look; her voice was
high-pitched when kite spoke.
"You've met before. Well. I'm
blessed! You seem to know every
body's boy. Miss Ingleby!"
Violet pulled herself together, she
shook hands with Sutore composed
ly, and she forced a smile.
"Yes, Mr. Sutore aod I knew each

ones stood looking suspiciously at
rr; hers was a jealous nature; and
she loved Sutore with all her vixen
ish heart.
He was smiling, and pulling the
ends of his waxed mustache; he
looked thoroughly pleased as if he
were e.'ijnying the situation im
mensely; he ordered tea and a fresh
supply of cakes, he made one ' or
two attempts to draw Florrie into
the conversation, but she snubbed
him sulkily, and presently he left
her alone and devoted himself to
Violet.
Violet resented his attentions.
When they had finished tea, she
bade them good-bye; she said she
must be getting on; she felt very
sorry for neglected Florrie Janes.
Sutore rose and called for the
bill; he said they would all go the
same way; at the corner of the
street Florrie Jones stopped
"I am going this way, she said;
there was a challenge in her voice;
her pale eyes sought Sutore's des
perately. He addressed himself to Violet:
"If you will allow me to go a lit
tle way with you "
She tried to stammer an excuse,
but he lightly overruled her. Pres
ently they were walking alone.
Florrie Jones had gone.
Violet turned on the man fiercely.
"How could you have treated her
so, poor girl? You haven't changed
for the better since we met."
"Since we were engaged," he
submitted lightly. "You made a
mistake when you threw me over,
my dear. should have treated
ou ill. I always cared about
you. I can truthfully say you arc
the only woman I have ever given
a serious thought to, and now we've
met attain, upon my word, I don't
think I've changed. You don't lock
well, but I should have known you
anywhere. I'm delighted to see
you, Violet."
She set her lips distastefully; they
walked some way in silence. Vio
let's thoughts wcr full of Florrie
Jonrs and the bitter chagrin of her
sharp face; she thought Sutore had
behaved like a cad: she glanced at
him, wondering that she had ever
thought anything of him and yet
the had once!
He met her eyes smilingly.
"You're not married, or engaged,
I suppose?" he questioned.
"No"
"And, no more am I." Pause. "I
suppose you wouldn't feel inclined
to take me on again, Vi."
Violet crimsoned. "No." She could
not trust herself to say more. He
raised his brows; he remembered the
circumstances of their parting Vio
let had been jealous of another
woman;, there had been a stormy
scene, she had said she would never
be able to trust him; that had been
years ago, she was in her teens then;
now she was a woman, and a deuced
pretty woman, too, he told himself.
"It's odd you should be at Vio
lette's." he said lightly. "Do you like
it? How are you getting on?"
"Very well, thank you.'

Independence Day
One hundred and forty-six years ago in a aimple and dig
nified room in Independence Hall, Philadelphia, the Declara
tion of American Independence was adopted and a new
National Flag was flung to the breeze.
From that trying and inauspicious beginning has grown
the dominant nation of the world a nation known not only
as a land in which men and women may be free and increas
ingly prosperous, but as a land and a government under which
character may be built, individual capacity given opportunity
for free exercise, and civil liberty is the heritage of everyone.
Neither America nor mankind is likely to attain perfection,
but under the influence and guidance of those principles and
ideals which are historically and truly American, there is
every reason to believe that each succeeding generation will
see new and increasing progress toward the goal of greater
human happiness and greater human satisfaction.
To this end, the Burgess-Nash Company, as an institution,
on this, the natal day of our beloved country, assumes its
full responsibility.
