FORSYTH v.. 3, 1121. by McClura Newipaper "Syndicate. Wednesday night, Just before I went o bed, the big Idea came, like nn un pected gift of real gold. I was lean ug on my elbows listening to Eva Herrlck dissertating about her favorite old cream, und what Madame So-and-3a had told her was the proper wuy to rub the stuff in. Three of us, hard workers, lodged In the upper uttlc oom of the Fletcher's boarding house m Beacon Hill. It hadn't taken much ingenuity to nuhu It a sort of paradise to return to each evening. We had each managed to acquire a joiiify elmlr, and In these we were jemully reposing prepatatory to seeking sleep. Eva declared that proper attention to one's looks meant i tenlble lot to the working woman, who got too Uttlc out-of-door exercise to Keep the natural pink In her cheeks. She looked at me critically for a few moments, her hand poised In the act of the proper upward rub under the right eye. "Say, Belle, how do you do It? It Is right down mean of you to have such wonderful color, and me here talking so fast about acquiring it. Look at her, Nelll" I lunged forward until my face came opposite the cheval glass, and looked at mjself. We all looked hard. We all agreed that I wus mighty lucky. And then things began to buzz In my head. I had worked pretty hard at the olllce that day, nnd nothing had gone just right, besides which I could not see that It was getting me anywhere. Jim Bryant, n clever young clerk, had been shouting around all day about a chap's getting out on his own, and not work ing for n salary, een If he took to fanning something the other fellow hud abandoned. It Is strange how easy this money making sounds when you hear the other fellow talking about It. "Make the most of your collateral," Jim Bryant hud said. "Size up your Hh'-ets." Now, If I do say It as shouldn't, my only assets are my beaux yeux, as Madame So-and-So would call them. Well, why not? I smiled a slow, cheer ful giln, and somehow the girls knew that 1 hnd hit the mill on the head That's the way it started, my busi ness of creating beauty for others. The following Sunday morning's papers blazoned an awfully cute advertise ment, and from then on, our delight ful nest In the attic became my place of business. And I was busy, too, strange as It may seem, but tho stiiingest part of all was getting used to the name of Mile. Pretty. .Mrs. Gibbon cnine flist, with a repu tation as a professional beauty to pre ,ere though her soul perish. Then little Betty Enderhurst, fagged from Inst night's late supper dance, rushed hi und demanded to bq made ready lor a dinner that night, where she was to meet somebody "quite special." She looked nt me enviously nnd sighed, and I know Just what wns In her heart, and did my best for her. But why go over the list? Every body knows what the right kind of an mhertisemetit will do. There were eight the first day, not so had for a beginning. It took a heap of tact. I finally got Sirs. Gibson to leave off wearing pink shades and to wear only blues. Little Betty had to be told that haste and too much enthusiasm are fatiguing anil only make one look flustered. 1 bellied her cultivate a very delightful repose. I congratulated myself on a vei genuine success, deserted be cause I had put my heart Into my work. All my visitors thought our room ajjitp unusual and exactly what they had thought so often a beauty parlor should be like. They did not suspect Unit on several occasions two girls were hidden behind the big screen, getting pointers, and almost choking with laughter. Jim Bryant's married sister had been over-doing- hospitality that win ter, and Mrs. Gibson brought her to me, without previous notification. Grace Bryant, who had sometimes called at our office to steal Jimmy for a tea dance or to help entertain some girl visitors, recognized me at once, as was natural, since I am, as I said before, not altogether ugly. Her Ideas, like those of my ancestors, were along n narrow plane. Mrs. Gibson never came again, but whenever I saw her she was wearing a becoming shade of blue. I wondered If she thanked me down deep In her heart. While Betty Enderhurst got the reputation for outdoing the Baltimore belles In their lazy ease of manner, I stood on the edge of failure, watch ing my line, fat bank account slipping ) slowly away Into the haze of ruin. Then again I awoke to the possibil ities of even this situation, inspired to a real flight. Yes, I've taken two attractive rooms, now. They .are hung In ash green and silver, Chevallat has an order for a beautiful golden wig to tit Eva Uerrlck's dull brown locks, and Eva Is splendidly ready to be my assistant. She's got the key to fit the golden lock, if you'll forgive the pun. My own wig Is the smartest white affair you over saw, and my name Is . Oh, well, my name Is equully smart And If you want to he beautiful and successful and radi antly kuppy. Just look me up.

Grant could scarcely repress n smile as the child held up a sadly crushed replica of the natural flower In cerise tissue paper. "Mother made It" with a pride that went straight to Grant's heart. Grunt's smile gained the mastery, but his tone wns duly apolegetic: "Well then. Miss Kittle, wliat no you sny to becoming my model? Oh. I don't menn' to begin work this very minute " The little maid had shaken out the varl-eolmed streamers attach., in her faded gingham dress. "I'll go with you now. I want to earn some money right nwny. The dispensary doctor told Mother she mightn't to gn balk to work this week and now she needn't." An hour later Sister Clarice received them In the studio. To Kittle that ornately furnished room proved a veritable Wonderland.

Babson this week Issues a warning to cities and towns to got busy on their municipal im provements Immediately. His reas ons aro as follews: "A revolution Is to tako placo In city development during the next decade. The automobile is to havo as creat an effect on living condi tions as the sewing mnchlno hnd on weaving. As the mill has takon tho placo of the homo spinning wheel, so tho suburb Is to take the place of the city for residential purposes. Tromendous movements from the city to the suburbs may bo expected during the noxt few yoars. Wise cities will begin to immediately pre pare for this great sububan devel opment, which, in many cases, will mean the extension of city limits. "Such a revolution In living must result is tho extension of water plants, expansion of sowerago sys tems, and a tremendous ora of now road building, home building nnd other improvements This will cause a great demand for carponters, ma sons, plasters, and common labor of all kinds. The building boom has not yet reached its height. Every fgeaturo connected with building, from the supplying of the raw ma terials to the furnishings of tho honve, should prosper for the noxt year or two. This is tho real reas on why certain forms of labor aro scarce today and why certain build ing materials and commodities are strengthening in price. It Is tho real reason why the mine operators of tho Central states and tho mill owners of the Eastern states havo been obliged to take back tho work ers at tho old wages. It Is this emigration from tho city to tho su burbs which has changed tho labor market. Of course labor loaders Watch Your Savings Grow when you install a pOLE'C ORIGINAL W HOT BLAST HEATER 7 "HE famous Hot Blast Draft in this remarkable stove burns all the com bustible gases from the fuel under-draft stoves waste this valuable portion of the fuel. That is why Cole's Original Hot Blast Heaters are guaranteed to consume one-third less fuel than any under-draft stove of the same size. ' Stop and think what this saving will mean WW u a ONTARIO claim credit for checking wage cuts; but It clearly Is not duo to them. Henry Ford's flivvers aro causing this demand for homes In the su burbs, and tho consequent demand for mechanics, carpenters and com mon labor. "Wlso aro tho cities nnd towns that take advantage of these now conditions. Those city fathers who do not, will miss a great opportun ity. Moreover, tho tlmo Is now es pecially propitious for municipalities to capitalize this great movemont. Money rates aro low. Thero Is n good demand for municipal bonds. The Federal Income Tax nnd state and city taxes aro especially favor able to municipal borrowing. How long cities will havo tthis advan tage I do not know, but tho situ ation certainly should ho seized whilo It lasts. Nothing helps a city so much as good paving, a splendid water supply, proper sewerage, and, of course, good schools. "This especially applies to tho Southern cities which havo not In the past hnd tho available funds that some of tho Northorn cities havo had. Great opportunities present thomsolvos to those cities that aro to benefit from river im provements, flood protection, and other natural problems. Now Or leans, Is an Illustration for a city which should tako advantage of this prcsest opportunity of low rates In paving Its streets and developing Its. suburbs. "During tho noxt ten years wo will witness a great municipal rnco, yes, a great municipal Marathon race. The cities which are now be hind will havo an opportunity of getting in tho front ranks; whilo some of the cities now In the front ranks will drop back Into tho lower places. Tho result of the race will dopend upon the vision of those who direct thoso cities." Theso changing conditions are al ready evidenced by tho Business Barometer Flguro of tthe Babson chart which has reached to 7 por cent below normal. I expect this sub-normal condition to soon disap i, . . . m i i , , to you with coal at its present REMEMBER: Cole's Original Hot Blast will Save one-third your fuel Burn any fuel Hold fire thirty-six hours!
