Love to mother. —Harper's Weekly *® Human Choice A conscientious Sunday-school teacher had been endeavoring to impress upon her pupils the ultimate triumph of good- ness over beauty, At the close of a story in which she flattered herself that Thomas Binks, Y1 this point had been well established, she THE MOST s turned confidently to a ten-year-old pu and inquired: “And now, Alice, w would you rather be, beautiful good?’ “Well,” replied Alice, after a mio- ment’s reflection, “I think I'd rather be beautiful—and repent."’—Lippincott’s, The Billet Doux An actor, named Smith for the pur- pose of this story, went to his club one day and found a letter for another actor of the same name, The letter was from a tailor and read as follows: “ Dear Sir: Your -account is now eighteen months overdue, and unless you pay at once we shall put it in the hands of our attorney for collection.” The first Smith knew the letter wasn’t for him, and he put it in another en- velope, addressed it to the Smith for whom it was intended and sat down to read his own mail. In a few minutes the other Smith came along. He took the letter from the tailor, tore it open and read it, while leaning against the mantel. Then, smil- ing tenderly, he tore it into little pieces and, as he threw the scraps into the fire- place, said so everybody in the room could hear him: y little girl!

This substitution is not entirely confined to unscrupulous top makers and over zealous automobile salesmen. Surprising as it may seem, the manufacturers of a certain high priced car, through their agents, are offering tops represented as covered with Pantasote which are not. Pantasote is a product made only by us. Its surface coating will not burn, is odorless, and contains norubber. To be on the safe side send postal for booklet on top materials and samples with which to compare the material offered. Consider the impossibility of cleaning ‘‘mohairs,”” the ruination of their interlining gum of very im- pure rubber, just as are tires by exposure to grease or sunlight, and disregard arguments in favor of this cheaper style of material which increases the profits on a top.
