0 GIRLS WHO WORK ARE

PROSPEROUS; BUY BEST, MERCHANTS ASSERT

j We have all heard about the high cost of living, but It takes Richmond merchants to tell us that despite the fact, local working glrl3 are more prosperous than ever before. Does the average girl buy the best material or the cheapest? Do they pay cash or on the installment plan? These were two of the questions asked and in every case department store proprietors said, "The best material to be had is bought by the girls and they usually pay cash." This, according to the store officials, is contrary to the practice of several i years ago. It was then the general policy of the wage earning girl to purchase as low priced goods as possible, and more often than not, to pay for the material on the installment plan. Asks for "Very Best." Today when the purchaser is seeking a new dress, coat, or suit, she asks for the best instead of the medium 'priced. Not only that, but realizing that when she buys on the installment plan she often pays several dollars mors than when bought with cash, she saves her money until able to pay cash. One dealer said, "If the girls would

use their heads when making a purchase they could often get real material at a saving, and dress just as well as they do now on about 75 per cent of the present cost. In fact the best dressed girls are not by any means the ones that blindly buy the highest priced goods without thinking." Have Many Bank Books. Despite the fact that it is commonly thought that the working girl is not igetting enough to live upon and pay lthe high prices demanded for clothes, a local dealer said that he thought she was saving more money than she ever did before. He based his belief upon the number of bank books left on the counters by the feminine shoppers. "There is hardly a day goes by that I don't find a bank book, somewhere in the store which belongs to a young lady customer. It proves that they are not only buying, but are also caving."

i stcry of a discarded president. The I charm cf a kindly nature continued to

hold till the last the affection of friends, hut public popularity was gone. The Civil War, breaking out only four years after his retirement, served to deepen the shadows of Pierce's record. In January. 1860, he wrote to Jefferson Davis the encouraging prophecy that if the conflict should come, "the fighting would be not only along the Mason and Dixon line, but within

our own borders and in our own states." In other words, that the North would not be united. A few days after the firing on Sumter he made a speech in which he took the stand for the Union. Unquestionably he had always been loyal to it in his heart. He had sacrificed even his good name in an honest but misguided effort to save it from the horror of fraternal strife. But to its salvation by war he could give little faith and only a perfunctory support. In the hot passions aroused by Lincoln's assassination an indignant crowd marched to Pierce's house in

Concord with a noisy demand that he hang out the Stars and Stripes. The self-respecting dignity of his refusal to admit that his loyalty to the flag needed such proof awed the zealots into silence, and the eloquence of his sincere expression of sympathy with those who mourned the stricken chief sent them away with softened emotions toward the speaker. Though he lived four years more, that is the closing entry in the public life of Franklin Pierce.

FRANKLIN PIERCE

Franklin Pierce was elected in a more sweeping victory than any other President has had since MonroeHe had the mandate and the opportunity to be president of the whole Union. With all his good qualities of head and heart, he was not broad enough to be more than the servant of a section, "of those who placed me here," as he expressed it. The new president's appointment of Jefferson Davis to be secretary of war identified his administration at the outset, with the aggressive faction in the south. Under Its counsels Pierce not only surrendered to the ambitions of the slave power for expansion over the north and west, but also for its expansion into foreign lands. Slavery was in its last throes everywhere. Great Britain had abolished it In her West Indian Islands, Mexico had abolished it next door to our own slave states. Even Spain was tending toward the freeing of the slaves in Cuba when the American ministers to Great Britain, France and Spain met in Belgium and issued the "Ostend manifesto." That shameful document proclaimed the threat that if the Spanish government should refuse to sell us Cuba we would take the island by force. At the same time Congress at home was repealing the Missouri Compromise and wiping out the dead line against slavery, which had been drawn a quarter of a century before. This threw open Kansas to a wild scramble between settlers who wished the new territory to be free and those ivho wished it to be slave.

1853 March 4, Franlin Pierce Inaugurated 14th President, aged 48. 1854 The Ostend Manifesto Issued. The Missouri Compromise repealed. 1856 Pierce defeated for renomlnation. 1869 Oct. 8, died, aged 64.

Then and there the Civil War began. "Bonier ruffians," as the North called the settlers, who rushed in from Missouri and other slave states, and settlers no less rough in their fighting who poured in from the free states, quickly turned that primeval into "Bleeding Kansas." Rival territorial governments were set up by the two factions, and Pierce threw the weight of the Fedoral power on the side of those who were desperately striving to create another slave state. The whole country was drawn into the struggle, and the Republican party sprang into life. At the election In the middle of his term. Pierce saw the Democratic representation in the bouse ut down one-half and the opposition sweep in with a big majority. In spite of that warning, the president became a candidate for renomlnation because he was very much in need of vindication. The selfish power that had used him had used him up, and it ungratefully turned to a new name, less tarnished in its service. - The rest is the meager, but pathetic
