I3Y EDNA EGAN. "I N the shabby old calico waist the last button hung on i sol- Itary thread, Just as discour aged as one could possibly bo who had seen better days. No one seemed to care now whether or not she were of pretty pearl and had two big round eyes, "At least," she said, "somebody might cut this strangling ropo and keep me as an antique msdo from an oyster shell, oven If I am not good enough to serve on a pretty shirt waist." "Oh. well do I remember," she con tinued, "how happy I was when I lay on the card with my sisters, whore, with many rclntlves. we were exhib ited to the world. I often think of the conversation I heard that day between two clever people, who, to nil appear ances, were very friendly to the mem bers of the Mutton World. It pleased me very much to know that the beauti ful pearl of tho oyster shell did not go to waste, but was taken to the fac tory where men carried on what was railed the Dutton Industry. Upon hearing this nnme mentioned, I lmme llately opened my eyes wider. I could scarcely say. ns some would expect, that I pricked up my ears, slnco my vos must sot vo for both sight nnd lenrlng. "To continue, the pent I Is modeled into buttons and they are then sewn on cards so you see tho members of the different button families are easi ly kept together. Thcso aro then bought by store-keepers and placed before the eyes of tho people, to bo selected for garments. "How proud I was to be the topic of conversation but my delight knew uo liounda when one of five ladles picked up the card holding my family and said that she would buy us for her new poplin waist. My sisters and I i?azed with Joy upon each other, and one sister, In her attempts to raise herself to beam upon us all, broke the rope which held her and would havo rolled away had not our kind friends tescued her. "Whllo we were being purchased, we nil whispered 'good-hyo' to our rel atives. How they glittered with envy, especially the giecn glass ones. "nut It was our lot to be chosen, and so wo went gladly out Into the world. "My first experience was within a big, dark carriage, which was most likely tho lad) 'a pocketbook. There I becamo acquainted with a very pol ished and distinguished person a sil ver pencil; ho wus, to all appearances, displeased nt my coming, for he rolled nwny when I entered. Later, however, wo conversed, and, although ho was a trltto witty and sharp, I could seo the point ovcry tlmo ho spoke. "An we continue; on our journey, nnd in) bright c)cs became accus tomed to tho darkness, I noticed ninny strange things about me. I could not begin to toll j on what was there. "I becamo very much Interested In what nppearcd to be a very queer looking piece of giccu puper, with whllo linen drawn In all directions. My curiosity was aroused, and I asked a few questions. I was quite taken back when I received my answer, which was a sumo what lengthy one. " 'This person of prestige was n dol lar bill,' It icspoudcd, 'made in tho printing and cnginvlng building at Washington, where u large company of men, aftor tccelvlng tho paper forms, made tho queer-looking draw ings with muchlncs, Then theso things called dollar bills wero sent out for people to use to buy different articles.' "When thcso words had nctually been throw u at me, I thoroughly real ized that money certainly did talk, and In disgust. I turned my attention to other things, I was Just In tho act of unbuttoning more curiosity when the carriage door opened and my sisters und in) self wero taken out. "'They aro so pretty,' I heard somebody say, and bow I shone. I woudcicd what was to happen now, "I soon discovered my destiny, when I saw my sisters being sawn on something lovely nnd white, which I Judged must he tlio poplin waist. "I did not realize, that this work was painful for us. until that sharp thing i alter! 'needle' was pulled through me liut what was it little pain compared to future admiration, and I Immedi ately thought of tho Africans who wear rings In their cars and noses, foi the sako of attracting attention. "Klnnll), the task was completed, and thou ono fine day we were pres ent on (ho poplin waist, at a Suffrage Meeting Tho lady who wore the waist was the center of attraction, and )ou can Imaglno how proud we were. "Hut I must hurry on with my story. "Our career lasted for many 'lays, but finally the pretty waist showed signs of wear, I was rather sad. but in) good cheer returned, when, soon after wo weio transferred to n most attractlvo blue waist with big whlto dots. They called It calico "Hofoio long, however, I understood that I was destined to reside In the kitchen, und I soon becamo leslgncd to in) fate "Kven this kind of life wns at least useful, hut, oh, what degradation when tho calico waist was placed in the at tic as a relic of tho past, and I had to remain with it "Then, too, how giicf-strlcken I was when, one after another, my poor sis ters wero clipped off to take the place, no doubt, of a button missing from some other garment How lonesome they must hsvo been among Btrangers "It was a sad day when the last sis ter was taken away, and here I 1 ave dangled ever since, wishing and wish Ing that I might be restored to the llutton Kingdom, evn If my compau tons were not my sisters." !
