The Big .Sister Speaks Out
I She Gives a
Little Wholesome , Stenographer. .
Advice to the
Dy Lillian Lane. ' VA LOT you Know about it, Mollle.' Ther. you go lay-, laying: down th law again If you vp talked to any man but the milkman and the grouchy old doctor and the landlord. Art "; you keeping company with any of tbeml And who atartad thlngsT "Hush, Sue Don't waete your pertneaa on me. I don't think it la cute It only hurta! t tel you that glrla nowadaye get Juat what they demand of men. I see It every day all around me. You're a flippant. ; pert little thing tho It hurts me to. aay It of my baby alster and when you come home and flintf yourself Into my arms and sob out atory about how a man epoke to you en a car and another one come Into tht office and tried to hold your left hand while you were tak- - In a letter for him with your rlffht, why Susanna-Sue, your Mollle knows who la to blame!" "But Mollle, honestly I hadn't done a thing to encourage this man. He was Just a brute." "Just human, you mean, Sue." "No, he waa a brute. And I was trying to be so pleasant and obliging. Mr. Austen asked me If I could take a few letters for a big customer from Chicago who was here for the day. And he said 'Now Miss Granger I want you to be particularly pleasant and agreeable to Mr. Porter for he Is a very Important patron of ours.' So I" rhe Reason Why "So you dimpled at him and dropped your long eyelashes on those soft pink checks and ran your fingers through four rust-colored curls In order to make sure that he shold notice what a very lovely color scheme the Lord nnd worked out when he tlned Miss Susanna Granger And then after you had made sure that Mr. Porter had been given every opportunity to notlca that a pretty young creature Miss Granger was, you settled down to eblne; a perfectly competent stenographer, which is all Mr. Austen expected of you." "Oh, Mollle, you're not old! Tou :,inve Juut forgotten how to be ins and probably you never :! for a good time the way I ,h, if only I were rich and
could wear pretty clothes and had a decrnt home, men wouldn't take advantage of me the way Mr. Porter tried to. Why, he ottered me five dollars when I had taken his letters, and said the only condition waa that It had to be a dinner favor. "And he grabbed me and kissed me before I nai time to guess he Intended to be so fresh. ' And I slapped his face.' And I'll wager he will tell Mr. ,Austen and I'll find myself ojut of a Job to-morrow. Oh, he's a brute, an d apoor girl hasn't a chance In the world." , . ' 0 "Well, you are not "out of a job" yet. Sue. And you have learned a very useful lesson." "There you go preaching! I'va only learned that men will take ad;vanta;e of you whenever they can." "Whenever they can! There, you've said It, Baby. Every- one takes advantage of whatever they ran, whenever tney have a chance. That's efficiency." "Well I'd like to know when you got to be so brutal. Miss Mary Granger." A Little Advice. "Sue listen to your Big Sister. Tou flirted with a man who knew nothing more about you than that you were a pretty little stenographer who seemed determined to call attention to the fact that she was ft woman; you laid the emphasis on your womanhood before he did. Tou cheapened it and he took It at th value you put on it. And If you aro out of a Job, we'll manage on sister's earnings." "Fifteen a week for three! Tour wisdom hasn't gotten you very afr, Mollle. It's tied you to brother Ned's Invalid chair and taking la plain sewing and poverty and bsing an old maid." "Sue, you called the man who tried to kiss you when you fairly invited him a brute. I wonder It you know how much bigger brute you are!" "Oh, Mollle you'd be a brute too you old saint if you had Just lost your Job. Forgive me I'm a horrid little cat." " "Forgiven kitten. But you aren't sure you've lost your Job. Go down In the morning and see Men are Big, broad, forgiving creatureseven if they are brutes! " "All right ay, what will I wear, Moll my blue taffeta?" "There you go, poor little kittenl Complaining because men flirt with you and then planning to wear your best dress down to the office so they'll be sure to. No blue taffeta Your brown suit. And then if you are dismissed, you'll bo dressed to go out and look for another position." (Watch fer the next Bis Slstea talfcfcl

If You Want One of These Grafonolas
IT'S ALL OVER. By the . time this ad reaches you the last Grafonola originally apportioned to us for this great sale will have been sold. A few may remain, but these will be snapped up in the morning. After that we will take orders until the close of business on Saturday. This is a concession to belated buyers. It was our original intention to sell 100 Columbia Grafonolas on this wonderful plan. But the sale simply fan away .with us. Large as! it was, gigantic as was : its scope, its success was so spontaneous that we are practically sold out today. In all our estimates we had fully expected the sale to take two weeks longer. ; So we say that "booking orders" for later delivery is a concession to belated buyers. We, ourselves, know a number of persons who fully intended taking advantage of the sale, and who, for one reason or another, have been prevented from doing so. This still gives them the opportunity. We wish to be understood, however: The sale will positively close Saturday night. After that time, no more orders for Columbia Grafonolas upon these terms or upon these same conditions of sale. Until that time orders will be received and filled in the order taken. All instruments thus ordered will be personally selected by Mr. Behr and tried and inspected by Mr. Pearson after they arrive. All instruments thus ordered will be subject to the same conditions of sale as though you were selecting one from our floor. , ' "
