SHORT
STORY
Clarissa’s
Chan eur
By JANE OSBORN
“ F‘ there is anything you can do
I for a living, I wish you'd do
it," mid Crawford Jones, senior,
to t‘rnwford Jones, junior. a few
months allow the latter had been
graduated from college. There was
no venom nor sarcasm in the tone
of the father. Frankly he meant
exnl-tly what he 'had said. After
graduation the father had started
his son in business with himself.—
sunlilng hzlll forth as a salesman.
feeling i-llllilt'hilW that his four costly
yours in college might to have taught
the young mun the essentials of
salesmanship. So Crawford Jones
had gone forth to sell household ap-
[iiililit'f‘s ultldc ill his father’s factory
and after two months hurl come
home without all order. Ills father
had lmun bitterly disappointed. Like-
Wist- “as Crawford Jones, Junior, for
he was genuinely anxious to succeed
lll his father's business.
"Wt-ll, i can drive a car," said the
young man, with a little embarrassed
lnugh. "i guess l‘m not good for
much rllsn.”
“Then go to it." said the father.
"I started out doing the thing I
knew how to and success came."
So it was lhat Crawford Jones
h“light an evening paper and studied
the column headed "Help Wanted—-
Chauffeurs." He answered by letter
an advertisement of a person sigh-
ing 1‘. Yates. “Wanted someone to
drive our for agent selling through
country districts," was all the ad-
vertisement said.
The only trouble. when Crawford
came to interview 0. Yates, was that
the C. stood for Clarissa. He wasn't
quite sure that he wanted to spend
his time driving through‘the country
with a girl. even though she did
agree to pay hlnl fifteen dollars a
week besides making allowance for
meals and lodgings.
Clarissa Yates was not unattrac-
tive: in fact as the days went by—
for you see Crawford accepted the
position—she proved to be really at-
tracqive. She was s farmer's daugh—
ter. had hoped to become a teacher
but had had to leave normal school
after a few months' study. Now in
order to clear the farm of the mort-
gage so that her old father might
have its full value when time came
to sell it, Clarissa had taken her
little savings and bought her fiivver
and had set out through the country
districts to sell cooking utensils.
Not being able to drive a car she
had been forced to employ a chauf-
feur, bllt she hoped in time to be
able to drive for herself. In the
back of the car she carried her
samples. While she talked on the
farm house porches Crawford at
first went back to sit in the car and
read till she returned, but later he
became curious to see Just how she
went about her selling and used to
linger near enough to overhear her.
It was surprising how seldom she
came out without an order, surpris-
ing mo how content she was to
spend an hour of hard work only to
be rewarded by a small order. But
as Crawford figured it out she was
really making.money. By the end
of the summer she would have paid
for her car. paid his salary and ex-
penses and still come out with s
larger profit than she would have
been able to make teaching school.
Meantime Crawford sometimes let
Clarissa take the wheel of the car.
Sometimes she drove alone for an
hour or more. with Crawford by her
side. But when Crawford told her
that she was really capable now of
driving herself. that he hoped she
would tell him as soon as she wanted
to get along without him, she assured
him that she did not want to drive
alone. A. a matter of fact she' was
quite ready to go alone. She knew
she could pass her examination for
a. driver's license. and she would
gladly have eliminated the fifteen
dollars a week expense for chauf-
fsur. But she tibbed cheerfully and
kept Crawford. All the time she felt
genuine pity for him.
Every day as they time from
farm to fans Clarissa would talk
over her work and her methods with
hiin. explaining to him some of the
simple little schemes she had worked
out to gain the confidence and inter-
est of the farmers“ wives. Then one
day Crawford announced that be
"I'll stay with you till you get your
driver's license," he said.
When he went he told Claim
that he wanted to see her again
after two months had passed. He
{held her hand for a minute in part-
iing. "Please promise." he asked her.
|"thst you won't make any important
'decisions until I come buck—"
"Why. Crawford, what do you
mean?” she asked. '
"Why—you know—~" he said. feel-
ing very awkward. “Promise you
won't get engaged or married before
you‘ve heard from me."
Clarissa looked very tenderly at
Crawford and her eyes 'welled with
tears. “I promise. Crawford." she
said, and then she wondered how
this young man ever hoped to be
able to ask her to be his wife.
Two months later he met her
again. By letter they arranged a.
meeting in the spacious green of s.
convenient country town. Clarissa
arrived by way of her little fiivver
and Crawford alighted from a high-
his rich ‘father.
"I've made good." Crawford told
Clarissa, "and l have you to thank
for it. I went back to Dad and
.asked him to give me a chance sell-
!ing sgsin. You’d taught me how to
lmake a success. And I have suc-
fathcr is going to take me in as
salesmanager. And‘I can marry you
—lf you‘ll have me."
There were more explanations—
and much confusion: and finally as
the eveninK drew on a rather fright-
ened first kiss there beneath the
Wide-firmed elm trees in the village
green.
t
if You Would Be. Mannish
'10 certain persons the fed for
mannish apperei seems all
wrong. There are men as well
as women who are rubbed very
'muc’h the wrong way by any ten-
donczv on the part of women to ape
the i‘ashidns of their brothers and
husbands. Some women dislike it.
too. Those who dislike it say that
as a fashion it is done for. But
those who like it are in no hurry to
see it go. A woman does not lose
her charm, say they, when she wears
the same fabrics that men use or
when her clothes are cut on some-
what the same line. She only adds
to her feminine charm—only makes
her femininity seem all the more
apparent through contrast with her
mannlsh attire.
Some young women like to buy at
least part of their wardrobes in the
shops that deal in men's clothes.
They like to think their suits are
made of real "man's serge" or "man's
tweed." and they like to wear real
men's neckwear instead of the man-
nish sort made especially for women.
Now it may interest the young
woman who goes in for real men's
things and is not content withthst
which is merely mannish. to know
that there is s. new color that is
rapidly becoming quite the smartest
thing in man's attire. This is plum
color—e. subdued sort of plum color
that is in excellent taste.
You may be aware of the fact that.
powder blue. having enjoyed a vogue
with women some time before, was
the smart favorite a year ago. The
Princa of Wales favored this color.
It may be of interest also to know
that the Prince of Wales has set the
fashion among fashionable young
men for wearing what are known so
“Glenurquhert checks"-—whioh may
be had in black and white, gray and
white and other shades. These are
worn correctly only for country.

Facts about your name; its history;

dly and lucky jewel.
MAGGIE
lhe name )lsggie is originally
derived from the Persian,
being of the same root as the name
Margaret. To the luckybenrer of
this name. the pearl is the Jewel
assigned. The delightful notion that
the oyster. rising to the surface of
the ocean at night and opening its
shell in adoration, received in its
mouth a drop of dew congealed by
the moonbeams. is responsible for
this delicate fantasy of the pearl.
A LTllOl‘Gll Scottish in itself.
The name was brought to Scot-v
land by Margaret Etheling. wife of
Malcolm Ceanmdr. where it became
the national Scottish feminine name.
Because a pearl of price is/ssso-
eluted with the pearly gates of the
Celestial regions. the name of Mag-
gie—or more usually, its original.
Margaret. has been given to innum-
erable saints.
By wearing her natal stone, the
pearl. the bearer of the name
Margaret will fulfill the promise of
her gods. which gives her purity,
charm and affnbility. Her lucky day
is set as Monday and seven is her
fortunate number. For her to
dream of pearls signifies faithful
friends.

yVITH POTATOES
“ OMME de ten-c en robe de
P chambre"—-say the French.
while we speak of potatoes
cooked in their Jackets. Or you may
prefer to speak of them as "cooked
in the skin." However you city it,
the fact remains that cooking po—
tatoes in this way is most certainly
the wise method. Almost every one
of us has been assured of this fact.
and there are strong minute in
favor of it. Yet most of us go on
cooking them the other way. paling
or scraping off the skin before the
potatoes are cooked.
In England there was such an
wort during the war to persuade
housewives and cooks that this was
the only economical way of cocking
potatoes thnt many women who did
not do it before that do so now. But
Americans apparently did not learn
this lesson and we go on with the
old wasteful method.
Cooking potatoes in their jackets
has the advantage of not staining
the fingers. The! is when it comes
urns to peel them after they have
been cooked they leave no stein.
Moreover. they are easier to peel and
considerable potato is saved. The
drawback is. of course. that the peel.
ing has to be done when the potatoes
are hot and at a time when the rest
of serving up of dinner is to be at-
tended to.
One clever young man tides it
this way. She washes the potatoes
very thoroughly and starts them
coolant. permitting thereto bell for
about fifteen nuances. Then she
drains them and lets them cool
enough to make it easy to handle
them. ‘Then she removes the skin
and puts them in s. steamer—usually
over vegetables or meat cooking on
the stove—and lets thenf finish cook-
lng by steaming.

THE RADIO PRIMER
One Daily Fast for Listeners
A Bootleg Tube is radio slang for
a vacuum tube that has been made
by some small manufacturer who is
pirating the patents- owned by the
Radio Corporation of America and
affiliated interests. These pirate
manufacturers pay no royeitln they
keep as much under cover as poul-
ble and depend on escaping detec-
tion to prevent being prosecuted and
fined.
There are, of course. a number of
types of tubes that are not made by
the Radio Corporation and still are
not bootleg. One or two of these.
like the Sodion tube. operate on a
principle different from that covered
by the tube patents. Others are
made by manufacturers who be.“ e
legal right. by license or otherwise.
to use the vital patents concerned.
The most important one of these
patents is the original patent on
what was then calledthc “audios-l."
'lhis was granted to' Dr. u. do
Forest and what it covers. essen-
tially. is the use‘ of a third cleared.
—the grid—in a. vacuum tube. Th1!
patent is now owned by the tel»
phone interests. who have trans.
femd their rights in the public eels
of tubes to certain licensees. includ-
in. the Radio Corporation. A num-
ber of other tube patents are owned
or controlled by the same interests.

that the trimming is all on the
