TURNING VANITY INTO MONEY] WfflMlM DreSSSS
By JOHN R. THOMPSON,
Treacuier C)ok County, Illinois.
f(*npyrttf!it. b> Jumpti H H<i*ln I
'Atiy it. It that thousand* of intelli-
gent men workin for salaries or fur
wifw are Investing 1 li■ •.r savings It)
the stocks hi w lldcai companies
again*! the advice of frli nil* <11111<1<'
tent to advise them ami in the f;i<-e
of their own better judgment'.'
Tin* obvious answer is Itecauae
they expect t<« profit g.oatly h> the In
vestment to 'get rich <]itit-ku 'he
common Haying puts it Thin is only
half the answer, and the other half —
often ih<- more powerful is seldom
brought out
It can Ik' suited in one small word
V anlty.
ThiH is not flattering to the Invest
or* who have defied the suiter counsel
of experienced men of affairs and who
have Btlfled their own natural fore-
bodings and sense of caution, hut the
fact remains that vanity has. In hun-
dreds of thousand* of cases, been the
one factor which h i turned the tables
against reason, Judgment and good
counsel un<l emptied the pockets of
the waste earner mid the salary worker
Into the coffers of the fake Investment
thai k.
When the halt thrown out Is equally
attractive to the < uptdlty and the van-
ity of luman nature the catch is al-
most certain and the clearness with
which tin. latter human weakness Is
understood by tlie aliarpers who lie
In wait for the surplus savings
of those who do the worl l's hand
work. Is evidenced by the fact
that the literature sent out to hire
the unwary Is full of phrases like this
"Why not become an associate of
men who are doing things? We want
your influence in your community.
The men who are In this enterprise
are known In the business world nnd
they desire cooperation of others who
are capable of broad and Independent
Judgment, of men like yourself who
can see Itcyond the riin of a silver dol-
lar and appreciate large opportunities,
men of constructive abilities who are
ready to take a hand in the develop
ment of one of the greatest enter-
prises of the present day. Your ad-
vice, influence nnd cooperation afe
more valuable to us than your money."
When this appeal is put to a man
who has always worked under others,
who has never hen consulted by a
business man, whose opinions on busi-
ness matters have never been asked
by any person outside his own family
circle, the temptation to a new and
delightful feeling of ^©lf Importance is
almost inevitable. There is not a
clerk bending over a desk or a coun-
ter, a mechanic working at his lathe
or bench, or a laborer toiling In street
or Held who has not at times felt that
he has had ideas about some feature
of business worth considering, who
has not harbored a secret longing to
have a place and standing among the
men who pull the wires which move
the machinery of business. When such
a man—and his kind is legion—re
ceives one of these artful and inslnu
atlng appeals to his vanity he is rare-
ly poised and gifted with common
sense above his fellows If lie does not
feel that at last he lias come into his
own; that his abilities have finally
been appreciated and that the stran-
ger in the business world has under
stood him better than his associates,
his neighbors, his familiar friends and
those under whom he works. The flat-
tery of this appeal outweighs its shal-
low rawness and lis obvious and cheap
insincerity. Hut the real cunning of
this attack upon his vanity is the fact
that it appeals to his "Independent
Judgment" and class* s him among the
men who see things shrewdly and in
a big way and who scorn timidity. If
he. listens to this argument and gen-
erally he does -he feels a new sense
of self-importance and of Independence
and a corresponding disinclination to
listen to the advice of those whose
familiarity with business and finance
would enable him to steer clear of the
rooks of disaster. His Judgment is
pitted against theirs and he Is aroused
to a determination to "show them"
that his opinion is better than theirs
This antagonism against the recep-
tion of advice from men of experience
's the one thing which the investment
sharper most desires to awaken in the
prospective victim, for it will prevent
him not only from Becking sound ad
vice but from acting upon it when It
is put in his way.
The schemers who have learned
how irresistibly the argument of "man-
age for yourself" appeals to the man
who has never had a chance to try
his hand at managing a business have
not stopped at this point; they have
also learned that men In tl-.e humbler
walks of life are clannish and inclined
to think and act together. Along with
this they have realized that it is
easier and cheaper to hunt their game
in flocks and droves than singly. When
the sportsman wishes to get a big bag
.if game and get it quickly lie goes
after the birds which travel in flock -
So with these gunners who are adepts
in the use of decoys and "calls " They
arrange their hunts in line with this
,deu of clannish tics* jt mans move
ment, and use the ammunition of "act
for yourself" so that etery shot will be
a "pot shot."
Here is an example how this kind
of financial sportsman* •• is prosecut-
ed: Some time a* n Inventor
brought out a machine for the making
of print paper from the pith of corn-
stalks. Bo far as making an impr< s
Rive, scientific demonstration was con-
cerned, the device was admirable but
when it came to Its ability to compete
commercially with wood pulp mills
and tbeir products. ths t was a prob-
lem that did not greatly concern the
promoters with whom the Inventor
and patentee became associated. Ro
long as tlx* machine did its demonstra-
tion work with convincing plausibili-
ty (loir Imtneipate purpose was fully
met. The paper production in which
they wer • tin. t concerned was that
upon which the hnndimc stock certifi-
cates of the company were printed.
He Immediately turned his guns
tipo« wage workers of the printing
und paper trades
lt> personal solicitation and printed
literature he plied the members of
these trades with the argument;
"Make this your own Industry! Here
is the opportunity for you to keep in
your own hands the thing which Is
going to revolutionize the paper busi-
ness just as the typesetting machine
has revolutionized the printers' craft.
You can, by coming in now, with a
small Invest ment per man, place your-
selves In control of an Industry which
will hold in its grip a product of mil-
lions «if dollars a year a product
upon which the whole paper nnd print-
ing world depends for Its existence."
This was an argument which every
man In the mechanical department of
a newspaper or a commercial printing
establishment, and every paper mill
or paper company, could understand. I
It met liiin on his own ground and he \
began to see visions of himself as one |
of the "powers" in the very industry
In which he was an obscure wage '
worker. What a turning of the tables
there wiiii* be when the world
awakened to the fact that this great;
"revolutionizing invention" way con- j
trolled by the men id the type case
and machines, the printing presses, j
the stereotyping tables, the pulp vats
and the paper waretooms! Then the j
"last" would become first, the paper
industry would be ruled by the men
from the bottom of badness; the
Journeyman would he the magnate
and would know the feeling of power |
and authority!
Ity scores and hundreds trie wage
workers In these trades rallied to this
cry and the ]i ndcrs among them were '
"taken care of" in a way which made
them feel that they had already come
Into their own. These bell-wethers !
of the craft marshaled their follow-
Ings with a sincere confidence that
they were leadln; the v.n\ to a finan-
cial I'topia and the promoters rubbed
their bands In.satisfactioii at the rate I
at which their illuminated sti ek cer-
tificates were demanded by the work-
ers who wanted to become captains of j
Industry and "manage for them-
selves." Certain "subsidiary" and
"allied" coin| allies we.e organized
for the purpose of giving more of
these men official position—to ills
tribute to a wider number the thrill
that comes from putting a hand on the j
pilot wheel of "affairs."
The outcome of ibis revolution to
pluee the trusting wag • worker in the ;
control of an industry of his own is
fully covered by the suggest ion that j
th<' farmer is still "plowing under" the
dead cornstalks upon which the news j
of the world was to have been print- J
ed. Meantime hundreds of faithful j
workers in the printing and paper \
trades are finding it more difficult to
"manage" their own personal finances
because of the deficit created by the
Investment which was to "make the
industry their own."
The ambition of the wage earner
and tlx- man on salary to better hiB
condition, to 'make his surplus work j
for him," to find a broader expression
for his individuality and abilities in a
business way is hoili natural and com-
mendable; but he will make a poor
start in the line of li.at ambition if he
fails to realize, at the outset, that
finance I , as much a technical trade
as that which the typesetter, the ma-
son. the carpenter, the machinist or
the plumber follows, and that it would
be no more absurd for the banker or
the man of finance to attempt to s •(. a
galley of type, lay a brick wall wr
serve at ; machinist's lathe without a
technical training, an apprenticeship,
than for (he journeyman in any of
these crafts to take a financial opera-
tion, no matter how modest. Into his
own hands, Independent of the guid-
ing council of the man who knows
the ropes of finance. And the invest-
ment In a stock or a bond is a trans-
action in "finance." in the strict, and
full sense of the terin.
The man of small means, unschooled
In the ways of finance, might just as
safely hand his pocket money or his
savings bank account over to an utter
stranger who pi utilises to meet him at
ii certain place, at some future time,
and give him Homcthing valuable In
return, as to put bin money into the
stocks and alleged securities which
are being foisted upon the public to-
day by the beating of publicity drums
and the blare of promotion trumpets.
One of these transactions does not re-
quire a whit greater stretch of creduli-
ty than the other.
I.ct the man who has an ambition
to manage his stni.ll savings ke<>p
steadily in mind the fact that, the
concern whose literature or solicitors
attempt to influence hi i- against seek-
ing the advlc.- <>: men familiar with
the Ins and outs of finance Is
an enemy to his welfare and un-
able to stand the light of investiga-
tion. The man 01 the company hav-
ing something to sell which is sound
and worthy has no need to make an
underhand appeal to prejudice and
vanity in an effort to prevent you from
seeking counsel from those of experi-
ence.

HUCKADACK WORK
LLNDS ITSELF WELL
TO FANCY DESIGNS.
Hucl .i iack is again as popular, if
not more ij, than ever beiore with the
fancy noodle worker.; No wonder,
after oil' • -s the lovely bits of fancy
work nun!' with huckaback and tinsel.
Some very pretty bag- are made by
using silver or gold thnnd to inter
lace the little huckaback thr ads and
often the work is mm nriistically out
lined with gold or silver beads thread-
ed while the worker is outlining the
pattern Kvery style Imaginable is
seen In this work and many oriental
patterns show a variety of colors with
gold plentifully used in outlines. A
dresser scarf was made with three
tabs at ' n b end each end buttonhole
stitched with pule blue '.k and
worked with eyelet. Abov. bis was a
si* inch band of pale blue mosaic do
sign, outlined with gold. In the center
was a trianule of gold and blue Pin
cushions, (-hali- cushions and prac-
tically everything In a cover design
can be fashioned this way. Little
opera bags are woven with silver
threads and hung with long pendant
silver threads and gold interwoven,
with gold threads and gold heads, or
black thread ami gold beads The
heavy silk like floss is best f ir the
purpose and can be threaded with
finer gold tin cad -
The Hi -i costume i a very prettj dress in pasti l blue face cloth; the
skirt has .1 pleat • ich ale front stitched nearly the wlieb length; from this
two rows ot -ilk on anl embroidery are car: red quite round The bodice has
enihroiiln . up each side, nnd a pointed vest of white silk embroidered with
blue and geld tinsel thread The tight fitting under part of sleeve is tucked;
the up ei part, which I-' full. Is tin 1 d horizontally on the front. Hat of
pale blue felt trimmed with hows of brown velvet and ostrich feathers
Material:- requited Nine yards 40 inches wide, nine yards embroidery,
seven yards sateen for bring.
The second hit a shit: of pray plaid cloth with flounce of plain cloth at
foot* above which h one of plaid. The coat Is of the plain cloth with rovers
and umh 1 slecv. of plaid. As will be socji the < u is quite new; the 'font

TO BE ATTRACTIVE.
H.iir Must Be Kept in Perfrct Condi-
tion—Arrange It to Best Advantage,
The secret of benuEifill hair Is In
knowing how to make the most of It,
how to coax and coddle it into grow-
in-', and 10 arrange it to the best pos-
sible advantage
It Is the natural frame for the face,
and wh thcr or not ibis frame is be-
coming remains with the woman her
self.
A horrid, untidy, slipshod way of
twisting up one crown of glory will
male the most adorabl • woman look
like a cat toon
Arranite ii in fluffy, pretty, neat
coils and It will change the cartoon
Into a picture worth photographing.
It Is wonderful what terrible things
a woman can do with her own head
You think this when you go to a
matinee and view the sea of mussy
pompadours and crooked parts and
wispy locks spread out before you.
Haii pins are falling, hair ribbons
are dusty and soiled, straggly ends
of hair are looking out to see what
they can observe, while here and there
is displayed the I■ 11 n< end of a
switch that has not been properly con-
cealed
Combs are set in crooked, and In
many cases a head of hair looks more
like a bird's nesi than a coiffure.
To have pretty hair you lirst of all
must have clean hah
This means that you should sham
poo It every two weeks.
The hair catchcs even more dust
than the face
It. has a thou mil little arms reach-
ing <>ut for It.
Th# Bordered Gown.
An original white frock of the
"youthful simplicity" order struck a
new note the other day. being worn
by a golden haired girl in slight mourn-
ing It was a soil filniiness of very fine
white net resembling tulle, and both
the upper skirt 1 short to the knees Id
front and apparently caught up at the
back of the waist 10 fall in Irregularly
edged box pleats 1 and the lower on«
wer« bmd "ei| with a deep hem el
black velvet, above which was em-
broidered in a jet running design of
round gni lands and ribbons, looping
over and under a band of silver tissue
laid beneath the net
This Idea could be varied and car-
ried out in all sorts of colors, or In
one or two shades combined with a
white or ivory gown, or all In one
pale hue.
The difference in material is often
sufficient contrast; velvet on chiffon
or crepe de chine, for instance,
Lace Gowns.
The majority of lace gowns are car-
ried out in w hite, for a great , ,-al of
white Is worn at the southern resorts,
both In regard 10 toilettes and millin-
ery, with Ivory as its chief rival, but
the lace gown is also conspicuous In
colors such as raspberry pink and
mole brown, a frock of the lntter car-
ried out In punched lace having bo
neath It n slip of Ivoiy satin.
