You seem to have lost all enthusi
asm and interest in your trip abroad
said Elsies caller Indeed you act
more like a person who is performing
a duty than one going on a pleasure
J tour
If I hadnt made all my arrange
ments and told all my friends that T
was going I believe that I would stay
at home returned Elsie petulantly
Why you peculiar girl exclaimed
the surprised caller All youve talk
ed about for months is your trip
What has happened
Thats just the trouble wailed
Elsie I talked too much When you
are going to Europe dont tell a soul
or you will feel as I do now Steal out
the back way in the dead of night
with your steamer trunk under your
arm Its the only sensible course to
pursue I know from experience
I dont get the connection dear
said the caller Your advice is pic
turesque but far from lucid
Tell me the truth broke out Elsie
Why did you come over this after
noon Was it just to see me Tell
me the truth remember
Why my dear girl I naturally
wanted to see you before you left
Then you are the one oasis in my
desert of selfish friends declared
Elsie fervently You will understand
me better when I explain to you that
I have more orders and commands to
execute than any department store
buyer going over to purchase the sea
sons stock Almost every girl Ive
ever known has intrusted me with a
commission to purchase from one to
a dozen articles for her Are you
sure you dont want me to match some
impossible shade for you or to bring
you an advance style hat
Nothing at all smiled the caller
So that is your trouble
Ive had to make a classified list
confided Elsie taking a little leather
notebook from her desk and put down
the number size shade and price
limit Here is Hortense Hulburds or
der She wants me to bring her a
coral comeo from Venice a rose
plume from Paris to match her even
ing coat and a lingerie parasol Anita
Parker wants me to canvass the an
tique shops of Rome for a Pompeiian
hanging lamp and a mediaeval poison
ring Edna Nacey wants a suit of
French lingerie an amethyst bead
necklace and two hand embroidered
Bhlrt waists
Youll need a bookkeeper to attend
to your money accounts declared the
caller looking over the list
Im sure I dont know where the
money Is coming from said Elsie
gloomily Ive just a fixed amount of
money for my trip and none of the
igirls happened to think that I wasnt
a capitalist They all just inciden
tally remarked that I should let them
know how much everything came to
when I got back and they all said they
hoped I would get bargains
I have so many samples of various
shades in my traveling bag that any
one would think I was saving up
scraps for a crazy quilt But no one
even suggested that I might have to
pay duty on all the things Why
when Hortense called up on the tele
phone last night and asked me to buy
the lace for her wedding gown in
Brussels she was really offended when
I said I shouldnt get to Brussels She
said she thought that as long as I
was right there in Europe I might do
such a little thing to oblige her
You poor girl sympathized the
caller rising to depart If I were
you I should lose the list and simply
bring home my sincere regrets I
cant understand such selfishness
Id be socially ostracized if I failed
to carry out all these orders said
Elsie Please dont tell a bouI how
I feel about it Hortense said she
knew that Id enjoy picking out her
cameo and Anita declared that I was
the one girl whose artistic taste she
would trust in the selection of beauti
ful antiques
I wont mention it promised the
caller but I do think youve been
awfully Imposed on Qood by dear
Half way to her car Elsies sympa
thetic friend stealthily extracted a lit
tle piece of blue goods from her purse
and let it flutter into the street
Mercy she gasped If she had
known I Intended to ask her to get for
me In Paris the velvet for my winter
suit she would have had hysterics
Courtesy on the Phone
If theres one thing that annoys
me more than another said a busy
man the other day Its the habit of
some men of having their clerks call
mo up and then not being ready to
get on the line Instantly after I am
called away from my work to the tele
phone
I cannot imagine a more discourte
ous thing to do than that It Is
equvalent to saying their time is more
valuable than mine
I sometimes though not often
have my clerks get a line but I get
on the line Immediately the number
answers and do the talking I should
consider my course unpardonable
were I to have my clerk call up a
friend and ask his clerk to put him
on the line and call me after he had
replied
What do you think about It
1 And the one he was talking to
agreed most thoroughly with him

NEW JERSEY WOMEN ONCE
VOTED THEN WERE ROBBED
Had Equal Franchise From 1776 to
1807 It Is Asserted
Soon after helping to carry the Re
publican stronghold of Plainfield N
J for Woodrow Wilson the Demo-
cratic club of that city did another
thing equally without precedent in
I inviting the women of the Equal
frage league to come to a club meeting
and state their reasons for demanding
the ballot
The invitation was accepted and the
speakers for the league were its pres
ident Mrs Champlain L Riley and
Miss Zoe Russell Batemau
That the women of New Jersey were
robbed of the franchise 103 years ago
after they had had it for thirty one
years was one of the interesting
things that the club learned from
Miss Bateman She recalled the fact
that the Continental congress of 177G
dodged the woman suffrage question
by leaving it to each state to decide
for itself
And to the lasting glory of New
Jersey she continued this state gave
the ballot to her women They bad
it until 1807 In that year there was
a great election fraud scandal inci
dental to the vote in the location of
state buildings Majjy persons voted
early and often Misers and foreign
ers who had no rights at the polls at
all voted without hindrance
There was nothing to show that
the women were guilty of these frauds
At least they alone were not guilty
But in November of that year the leg
islature without sanction of the peo
ple as required by law amended the
constitution so as to deprive the wom
en of the suffrage
CEMENT HOUSES AS TOYS
Twenty Thousand Make Novel Christ
mas Presents to Poor Children
Mrs Mirabeau L Towns wife of a
Brooklyn lawyer gave an order at the
New York cement show for the mak
ing of 20000 cement toy houses which
she later distributed among poor chil
dren throughout the city The molds
used for the toy houses are miniatures
of the mold invented by Thomas A
Edison for full sized cement struc
tures
Mrs Towns who was recently ap
pointed a member of the board of edu
cation visited the cement show twice
The second time she called she placed
in the hands of Mr Beck the manager
a certified check to pay for 20000min
iature cement houses Mr Beck was
amazed at the order until Mrs Towns
told him that the houses were to make
glad the hearts of as many poor chil
dren
There were doll houses for the girls
and factories garages engine houses
stables and the like for boys Each
house for the girls has little windows
ready for curtains and shades There
Is a bathroom drawing room kitchen
and dining room in each house for the
girls as well as a veranda and rear
stoop Paneled doors on hinges win
dow sashes with cords and weights
a basement and a chimney are other
appointments
BOOKS INSTEAD OF A RING
Prosaic Physician Believes In En
gagement Gift For Mind
A Passaic N J physician Dr Mor
ris Korshet evolved a new engage
ment gift when he presented his fian
cee Miss Gertrude Riskin with books
of the drama poetry and fiction by
Victor Hugo Honore de Balzac
George Bernard Shaw Henrik Ibsen
Leo Tolstoy Isaac Zangwill Jack
London Allen Upward and others In
stead of an engagement ring
Speaking of his departure from the
time honored custom he said
In times long gone by man either
captured his female partner or pur
chased her from her parents with
presents When she was already his
he placed a crude ring upon her fin
ger It was regarded as a symbol of
Inferiority and made the wearer ap
pear In the light of personal property
Miss Riskin will not be my chattel
but my equal my companion and hejp
mate What principally distinguishes
people Is their ability to think and un
derstand Therefore I give her some
thing for her mind and not an orna
ment for her finger
