A. rooms in Brooklyn the other niththlir. McCarthy said in part: f‘The‘ first thing I would ‘teach a class would be that advertising should - bathe art of making truth attractive. '1 The do when it was used as a means of lend ng allurement to lies is pretty well passed. The man who seeks to enhance a stated value rather than to lower the price of an article, to cre- advertlslng does not pay. If you are going to try to make money by eva- sion1or fooling the public as a steady business. the less said about it the tar. "A‘ $2 shoe of yesterday to be sold at1$1 that mysteriously becomes a 82.50 shoe at $1.25 will soon be hard to‘ sell at 50 cents. There was a time when gmat sales were created in some store by doubling the price and then, cutting It in two, a very easy way of selling things cheap without losingany profit and a method of proving that two goes into four three times, that would make the public of today a trifle skeptical. ,“Mark Waln‘remsrked that to be a good manjjneant, to be lonely. Be a good advertiser and you will never be lonely. .There is a popular prejudice against a man blowing his own horn. But what in the world has he got a He'll certainly never make a noise in the world if he doesn't blew his own born or get some one to blow it for him. But let him be caret ‘ ,_ at, he does not blow it in such a‘Vvay as to be offensive to his neighbors, or so load that he frightens folks away, or so low that he cannot be heard. "Amen who' devotes his advertis- ing to telling the mistakes of his neighbor is merely teaching that neighbor how to get ahead of him. Convincing people how good your own wares areir'm‘akes no enemy and lots of friends. if: ‘ “A business man should know that the definition of advertising Is a writ- ten or printed notice to make some- thing known to the public. It is more to the purpose let them know that You sell somet ng worth their while than that your neighbors do not. It is absolutely the antithesis of advertis- ing to make something known that is not so. Never tell about good goods until you can deliver the goods as you describe them. Advertising has the first any. but do‘-ilot forget that the seeds have the last word. ”No better motto for the Young Men's Christlsjt Association advertis- ing class cool be” selected than the golden rule, '00 unto others as you would have them do unto you.‘ If you sre.sutlsiled that your goods are worth $1 a yard. and you wish to at- tract attention by selling them for 75 the all. read 95 cent values at 75 «his, and the margin of value in the purchaser‘s favor will please him Inclefillian it will hurt your con- science. This is a white lie that wise advertisers frequently use. The old fashioned turn of the phrase. “Do others before they do you.’ has be- come unpopular even among politi- cianl. "Adveruillng pays.

FASHIONS AND CULINARY. WRINKLEB. Little cards bearing good wishes or Christmas greetings in artistic letter- ing are bought for very little, and add much to thegeneral air of festivi- ty and good will that should surround all gifts, large and small. The fichu that is half lace is ex- tremely modish. The “aim proper is a rather narrow fold of soft material like the germ, with a wide lace friil that extends over the shoulders. while from a point on a level with the bust line the lace leaves the fichu and falls In a narrow point nearly to the knees. This point consists of two widths of the lace mltred together to make the point. which may be finished with a heavy tassel. Little ribbon roses border the front lace panel of a dainty evening gown. and edge the short sleeves. Above the girdle the roses are arranged in criss cross fashion upon the lace vest which is a continuation of the skirt panel. A slender bracelet of oxidized sil- ver, bearing a helpful or characterie tic quotation, is a gift that would be almost sure to prove‘a pleasant re- minder of the giver. Wide fallle ribbon makes an attrac- tive garniture for evening bodices. Starting in knots with flowing ends at the sides of the cilemisette. the rib- bons pass over the shoulders and down the back, the two pieces meeting at the waist line. The embrodlery of lace with silk thread gives the fashionable effect of gold and white lace when heavy yel- low silk is used tern. - Grape fruit glasses furnished with inside cups and ornamented with gold band and monogram. are a choice gift for the housewife who likes to add to her store of beautiful glass- were. The chief beauty of many of the do butant/e's evening gowns this season consists of the suppleness of the filmy materials and the graceful lines of the Empire designs chosen. , Mulls and neck ruffs of innumerable silk, ribbon or velvet ribbon ruffles are being fashioned by some gift giv- ers. They are very fetching and very fashionable: and while they may be purchased at some of the stores if de- sired. may also be made at home, which can not be said of the hand- some fur sets. Hoods are very coqueltish on some women, and these are taking advan- tage of the present fall by having fur hoods for motoring as well as silk and chiffon hoods for evening ,wear. Chinese lily buds are so very scarce this season that the fine lot of nice ones that apepared last year will con- sequently be very expensive this sea- son. Umbrellas and walking sticks with fascinating handles of jade are among the choice things for Christmas pre- sents. ,, The fashion for evening gowns of sheer stuffs over silver tissue inau~ gllrated' last'sesson continues in high favor. the reason for this. no doubt, lying in the fact that nothing is more attractive under artificial light than the glistening silver showing faintly through the delicate fabrics of the overdress. LEGISLATIVE CLERKSHIP. ETC. How Will Durant's Diabarmenl Affect His Chances. (Hartford Courant). Nobody seems in a position to make prophecies about the incoming begin lature. It is conceded that Major Til~ son. of New Haven. will be Speaker of the House. and it is doubted if the ful- minatlons of Senator Judson and Rep- roseniudve banks will load all estab lished corporations to surrender their charters. So far the prophets will travel, but then they pause. 'l‘lle clerkship question is their first obstacle. The disbsrment of Harold ll. Durant. of Waterbury, and the aim. ullaneous outbreak all over the State and country against discreditabie things have disturbed some schemes that were supposed to be all set up. Apparently things do not set up so to outline the pat- Jolios, sell metering, but advertising_ is too “pensive to gratify such vsnityu «Wily, as your neighbor.

They apparently preferred leaving it to the members to] throw him out. ‘80 Durant is hard at: work and declares that he has alreadyl secured promises , from members enough to assure his election as clerk' and so his vindication. Let the Leg- islature rebuke the courts. Durant has this advantage, that on, the surface of things nobody is against him. Mr. Spsfiord. last a degree ahead of him, says he wants to move up. and the candidates who have come; on the scene so far have all declared themselves as desiring the assistant clerkship. These include Messrs, Biod- gett of Winsted. 'Morrlson'of Donald and Arnot of Manchester. Messrs. Morrison and Arnot come in under the "fill up Hartford county' program. although it Is generally assumed that the real contest is not between those twohbut between Morrison and Blod~ gett.

There has been some talk about Sen- ators acting for themselves and so lecting their own clerk without regard | to Mr. Durant's desire to keep in the line of succession. it is an interestingl question whether Mr. Baldwin, for in- stance. would refuse to serve if‘ the Senators elected him. it is generally believed that. if the Durant csrt tipped $10 HEADQUARTERS FOR , Edison Phonographa and Records.
