Wheels Within . . Wheels . , THAT'S the way a watch is constructed. A workman may be a skilled mechanic' but know little about a watch.

The Genius of Advertising By THERESA C HOLT Copyright. 1910, by American Press Association Miss Adella Mltvnlo's fnthrr during failed, died and left his family penni less, alio decided to be a milliner. Shr sorted an apprenticeship: then, getting some motley after the settlement or her father's debts, she set up a sljop ot ucr own. Having no trade, she was making a failure of It. Ouo day Tom Ferguson, who hml known Miss Mltvalc In her halcyon days, passed her shop and. seeing her sign, went Inside. He found her In tears. She told hlni the cause. Now. Ferguson wu In the advertis ing business and knew the difference between goods brought before tho pub lic and goods never heard of. "Why don't you advertise?" ho asked. "I haven't enough money to make a success or advertising, l havo been told that one must not only hnvo plen ty of means with which to advertise, but must know how to advertise." "How much money can you rnlso?" "I might furnish $200, but If 1 spend It for advertising I shall havo nothing left for other necessities." "You aro right In saying that ouo should know how to ndvcrtlse, but you must make your goods known or go out of business. You can't pay rent and other expenses without selling hats, and you can't sell hats without people knowing that you'vo got hnta to sell. I'll think over a scheme that will cost little money and produco con siderable results. Cheer up. I'll sec you again soon." A few days later Adella received a noto from Mr. Ferguson suggesting that she prepare a couple of the most beautiful hats she could make and let tho style bo something new. She went to work at once. The fashion for hats had been rather small. Miss Mltvnle's artistic instincts told her that a large bat Is tho most impressive. She made couple of bats a trltlo larger In the biltn than any that had ever been pro duced, adding trimmings and feath era In proportion, when they wore finished, though they were very differ ent, each was a dream of beauty. She wrote Mr. Ferguson a uoto announcing that they wcro ready. Ho Immediate ly sent her an nddress to which ho asked her to send them. Tho hats were delivered, and Miss MItvale waited for Mr. Ferguson to an nounco his advertising scheme. The next mornlug on taking up the paper her eye was attracted by a heading lu large capitals as follows: turned' out or a thkater. Ladles When Requested to Remove Tholr Hats Refuse to Do So. Last evening at tho theater two la dies were sitting In a proscenium box when a t'ontleman behind them called out Grimly: 'will you ladles ploaso put down your umbrellas?" 'What do you mean, sir?" asked ono ot tho ladles angrily. 'I mean that I can't see through a dec orated cart wheel." 'If you refer to my hat, sir," replied the lady, "I would have you know that It deserves no such appellation. Had you asked us politely to remove our hats we would have done so. An It Is wo will keep them on. The man who couldn't sco through a "decorated cart wheel" complained to Hip manager, who, going to the box occupied by tho ladles, remonstrated. By this time they had becomo Incensed and stubbornly refused to removo their hats. Tho man ager then requested them to come Into tho foyer and when thero ejected thorn from tho theator. A complaint for as sault haH been cntored, the ladles assert ing that forco was used by tho manager. Many ladles who object to being ordered to remove their hats at. tho theaters are Interested In knowing how tho cuse will be decided. Miss Mltvnle. turned from this item to tho advertisements to sco what an nouncements her competitors were making. She came upon a conspicuous advertisement of her own, announcing hats of tho latest fashion, Just received from Paris. A noto was appended which read: The ladles ejected last night from tho theater wore hats mado on this model which was copied from a hat worn by hor majesty tho queen or England on tho oc casion of a garden party given at wind Bor castle and Immediately came Into fashion. When Miss Mltvalo went to her shop that morning she found several cus tomers waiting for her. They had come early that thoy might get lu or- dors ahead of others for "decorated cart wheels' such as thoy had seen nt tho theater tho evening before. Hy 11 o'clock the shop was crowded, every woman luslsting that her order should be executed at once. ' While, attempting to pacify them she looked at her window, und thero stood Mr. Ferguson peering In with a broad grin on his face. Ho had sent back tho two hats he had used In his then ter game. They had boon worn Uy women ho had hired. They were al ready sold. Mr. Fergusou's dummy lint exhibitors entered a complaint against the man ager of tho ' theater for assault The caso was tried, but tho charge was not proved. Nevertheless the ac tion nttracted much nttentlon. all of which conduced to the liicreasw dtf Miss Mltvafti's business, Miss Mltvahi's fortune was miide, From tlmo to time she called on Tom Ferguson for his bill for advertising but was always put off, ho saying that when she saw the amount she would decline to pny. Finally upon her In distance he sent It In. It read: Miss Adella Metvalo to Thomas Ferguson ,dubtor. To advMtisIng J10O.W0 Or M'hs Mnt-vale licrticlf.
