THE COST OF DRESSING.
A New York costume creator has taken exception in
dignantly to a Chicago dressmaker's assertion that a so
ciety girl can dress on $2500 a year.
Come to think about it, $2500 a year for a girl's clothes
is rather small, and the wonder is that more modistes have
not arisen in righteous wrath.
The Chicago dressmaker mere dressmaker, mind you
who thus seeks to snatch the bread from the mouths of
her professional sisters ought to be severely dealt with.
The New York costume creator, makes it delightfully
clear that a reat Manhattan belle, warranted genuine and
equal to any marriageable title in the world, represents
approximately an expenditure of $10,000 annually on
gowns and other feminine fixings.
Note the cautious word "approximately." This amount,
of course, does not include all expenses. Soda water, chew
ing gum and a speck of sticking plaster for the chin come
extra.
This is as good a time as any to remark that nobody
knows, ever did know or ever will know what it costsa
girl to dress herself. The cash cost, as measured in
money, may be estimated, possibly. That is what the New
York and Chicago dressmakers are trying to do, with a
striking lack of unanimity in their estimates.
But there are girls whose expenditures for dress are
not measured by fashionable dressmakers girls who
spend little money on their dress because they have little
to spend, but who devote a world of careful thought and
wise economy and patient labor upon the things they wear.
The swell modiste does not live who can tell what Molly
Ann's new pongee actually cost her, or what she has ac
tually given for her stunning new hat. The amount of
money she paid for the materials may easily be estimated,
but the work she has put on them, the sacrifices she has
made for them, the bright hopes she has sewed into them
who can tell all that? Who but Molly Ann? There are
millions of Molly Anns in the world, but not one of them
has offered to tell.
It is not all of life to have fine clothes. To know how
to wear them is quite a different thing. With all their art,
the swell modistes cannot give with a $1400 evening gown
the faculty of wearing it with the easy grace displayed
by some maiden of humble degree in taffeta from a marked-down
counter.
A $1000 dress may give no more satisfaction to a sur
feited daughter of wealth than it would to a doll. And
Molly Ann in the dress she has bought herself, made her
self and put on herself may feel as pretty and as dignified
as a princess, and look it every inch.
The dispatches Sunday announced that the immense
resources of the Rockefeller Foundation would be used
for the relief of non-combatants in the countries afflicted
by war. The announcement was made yesterday by John
I). Rockefeller, jr., head of the foundation, that "millions
would be used if necessary." That it will be necessary
goes without saying, and, as the money is in the fund, the
outlook for relief for the distressed is brightened. Rocke
feller has been about the most Voundly abused man in
America and therefore in the world, but if his vast wealth,
or so much of it as is necessary, is used for the purpose
mentioned, the American people will have a much more
kindly feeling toward him ami his.
The directors of the New Haven and Hartford rail
road, some twenty-one in number, have been indicted for
"conspiracy to monopolize the common carrier business."
It Is the largest bunch of millionaires ever indicted in this
country. The- punishment for the offense is $5,000 fine
or one year'imprisonment, or both. If found guilty, the
one year's imprisonment clause and the "or both" penalty
will be overlooked, and as a fine of $5,000 is no punish
ment at all to a millionaire, the gang is not losing sleep or
missing meals.
The official Belgian newspaper, L'lndependence Beige,
has in the past three months been printed in Brussels,
Ghent and Ostend, and is now being issued in London.
Mining camp journals with the office on wheels can claim
nothing over this in the way of itinerant journalism.

THE TIME OF TEST.
The shrewd business man, during trade dullness or
hard times, when he is in sore straits, will bring his affairs
into the greatest possible economy and system, improve
the discipline of his employes, redouble, his energy, give
extra care to his advertising, cover all evidences of weak
ness, and keep up appearances and his credit in every way
possible. For the moment he is suspected of weakness, or
his credit is questioned, if he really is weak, he is in immi
nent danger of going to pieces.
When everybody is talking "hard times," the 'shrewd
man closes his ears and turns his attention strictly to bus
iness, to work, to keener study of his conditions, to sane
and substantial pushing, to everything which will keep
him from succumbing to the theory of hard times.
Persistency of purpose is a power at all times, and par
ticularly in times of distress and doubt. It generates con
fidence in the man himself and creates it in others.
Everybody believes in the determined, undaunted man.
When he undertakes anything his battle is half won, be
cause not only he himself but everyone who knows him
believe that he will accomplish what he sets out to do.
People know it is useless to oppose a man who uses his
very stumbling-blocks as stepping-stones; who is not
afraid of defeat; who never, in spite of disaster, obstacles,
calumny or criticism, shirks from his task, but always
keeps his compass pointed to the north star of his pur
pose. Napoleon was much more brilliant than Wellington,
but was not a match for him in dogged persistence when
things were going against him. The iron duke could stick
to a losing campaign with as much determination as to a
winning one. He didn't know how to beat a retreat.
So soon as those New Haven indictments were made
public yesterday it was announced thatWilliam Rocke
feller's "condition was precarious." The same eminent
authority for this statement, Hoffman Miller, son of one
of the indicted millionaires, stated the whole matter was
a "frame-up" and was a job put up by the government to
injure poor, innocent men. This argument sounds like
some heard recently here in Oregon.
Denouncing Andrew Carnegie as a defender of the kai
ser, a crowd at Dunferline, Scotland, pelted the iron mas
ter's statue with mud Monday. The dispatches from
Washington the same day tell of the indicting of ex-President
Taft's son along with twenty others, -among them
William Rockefeller, who is always, when court is men
tioned, too sick to tell the truth. It was evidently an off
day for millionaires.
One of the paradoxes of war is the strenuous efforts
to kill or cripple everybody, and the equally strenuous ef
forts to succor the wounded and care for the sick soldiers.
Why take such active measures to kill and at the same time
have an ambulance corps to save?
None of the warring nations have yet called out the
kindergarten reserves. This will be the next move, but
the trouble will be in keeping these warriors supplied with
fresh milk.
It being some weeks yet before Thanksgiving, it is
possible that European Turkey may be served up with
the stuffing removed.
Everything else in Europe being in eruption, Vesuvius
got busy and joined in Monday, pouring out lava freely.
The Daily Capital Journal will tell you about the elec
tion results in the morning. Watch for it.
It's all over but the shouting.

Dlwolve It. That't Best Way.
The only sure way to get rid of dand
ruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it
entirely. To do this, get about lour
cunrrj of ordinary liipiid arvon ; apply it
nt night when retiring; use enough to
innistrn the icnlp ami rub it in gently
won ine linger tip.
Do this tonight, and by morning most
if not all of your dandruff will be gone,
and three or four more application! will
completely dissolve and entirely destroy,
every tingle sign and trace of it. no mat
ter how ninth dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching ami
digging of the uralp will stop at once,
and your hair will he fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
a hundred time better.
If you want to preserve your hair, dn
by all mcam get rid of dandruff, for
nothing destroys the hair more quickly.
It not only starves the hair and make)
it fall out, but it makci It stringv, itrag
gly, dull, dry, brittle and lifeless, ami
everyone notices it. You can get liquid
arvon at any drug store. It it mexpenj.
