Sliall sho wear a $10 hat and pay fop It
when she can, or gt n J2 hat and pay
for It when sho sots It? That's the burn
Ins question of tho day, according to
the latest advices from tho woman's de
partment of tho
Woman's Amazing
magazine.
Tou can set the
?10 ono and put off
paying the man for
'mending the yew

week.
To bo sure, sho

tlnio of the year

enough for two extra rolls with the break
fast coffee would really stagger you if
you Mopped to think about It, tho little
dressmaker says but, what's that?
fche's used to waiting.
Or you might tell tho cashier where
you work that you're got to have the
$10 to help bury your grandmother he's
a mini and he'll never know what you
raid for the hat, and he'll never dun you
for the money, either.
Of you' might tell the nice old gentle
man, who lunches where you do every
day, about It; he's such a kind old man,
ik'h, they say, and just lunches In the
cheap places to see the working girls. Ho
takes such a fatherly Interest In them.
The other day he told Kitty Donnelly
hn needn't wait til pay day for the now
sdiocs that sho needed. Kitty told her
mother, and her mother Is such a gump
that she wouldn't let Kitty take the shoes
from the old gentleman.
Or how about that money that mother
I saving for little brother's graduating
suit? lie doesn't need that suit for a
while yet, and you'll have the ten by that
time surely, and mother will listen If you
beg real hard.
What, you can't get a decent hat for
that after all' Twenty Is tho least that
they will take, and nothing on it but a
bow of ribbon. And the coat that goefc
with It, not a thing that you'd look at
under forty. Well, what a fix you are In.
little girl, to be sure.
I'll tell you; there's an Imitation velvet
down at the llttlo shop around the corner.
Some one has worn it before, but what's
that when you really must look like some
thing at the ribbon girls' party? You can
set a ball dress there, too a bit rumpled,
lot quite clean, but men never notice that,
as long as the men like your looks, and
what do you care what the girls think?
That's the place for you. llttlo girl, the
second-hand shop, arid the borrowed
money, and the hat and the coat and the
ar velvet dress and the almost plume
that's for you.
Oh! the kind old gentleman at the res

the Manicure Lady. "Only I do like to

The piesenco of a
