URING the subsequent week, she had become an industrious gardener, lavishing attention on the flowers and shrubs on her front lawn. It was not long before she was meeting Jerry in the city. “A married woman ought to have one harmless flirtation,” she had told herself, feeling very modern. “Otherwise, she gets too settled.” She had not, in the beginning, thought of its going beyond a flirtation. But then, Jerry had begun, deftly and insidiously, to make love to her. Arthur had no talent for making love. But perhaps, she thought now, Jerry’s thrilling technique came from long practice and many teachers. She had not thought of that at the time. os Yesterday, she was to have met him in the railway station at 3 o'clock — beside the information booth. “If I am not there, you needn't wait—you will know I have decided not to come,” she had hedged.
“And if IT am not there, you top

Thousands of dollars are annually taken from Indianapolis business houses by begging schemes Sperating under the
cloak of "Advertising."
Professional advertising promoters, whe float from city to city, get the auspices of a club or organization in order to lend ih color to their scheme and strengthen their
appeal to the business men.
The business man purchases such advertising, feeling that he is doing a favor to the organization in whose name the solicitation is made, when, in fact, he is really paying a handsome profit to a professional outside promoter.
f i
Rarely does the organization supposed fo be benef: ted receive more than a small percentage of the money subscribed. Generally the bulk goes to the promoter who finally prints enough of his convention "souvenir books” to supply each advertiser with one.
All that we ask of you as business executives is to co-oper-ate by referring all such solicitations to the Better Business Bureau. If you do not wish to do this, do not encourage them by your support unless you first satisfy yourself as to their legitimacy and worthiness.
Do not depend entirely upon the representations of the solicitor, no matter how convincing he may be. Buy advertising upon the basis of character and circulation. Da not be influenced by implied promises of favors or serv-
ice. Fos

BUSINESS BUREAU.
