FIND COMPETITION IS KEEN
Wearing of Green Ribbon Is Sign Girl
la Quite Serious and Wants to
Get Married—Must Obey
the Rules.
i'arls.—Among the hundreds of thou-
sands of surplus women In France, a
small group of Paris mldlnettes have
formed a marriage club. Their Insignia
is a small bit of green ribbon on the
coat, so that any man seeing a girl
decorated In this way knows right
away that she Is quite serious and
wants to get married.
The marriage competition is keen
among the girls, and the lonely ones
have taken to this form of advertise-
ment to settle down In life and have a
chance to leave the sweatshops. Due
to the facilities of life in Paris there
are numbers of bachelors, many of
whom would like to get married, only
up to now they never seemed to meet
the right sort of girl.
Fear to Make Break.
Serious girls have hitherto met at-
tractive young men on their way to
work, and have seen others dally where
they lunch, but they have never dared
allow the men to speak to them, nor
flirt with the men, because they were
afraid of being taken for something
they were not. The girls never could
tell the Intentions of the men, and the
men always suspected women who no-
ticed them. Now all this has been
changed.
The man who wants to get marrie'd
wears a bit of green In his buttonhole,
but he must not take advantage of this
by going up and accosting the first
girl he meets with a similar bit of St.
Patrick's color. According to the un-
written laws of the club, he must wait
until he has seen some girl member a
number of times. Then, if their dully
paths cross, he can linger his bit of
ribbon In a suggestive manner. If she
approves of him she will smile, and
then he can introduce himself.
Holds First Meeting.
The club had Its first meeting the
other day in the crowded nelghorhood
between the city hall and the Bastille,
but the members failed to reach any
agreement on how to get married. One
suggestion seemed to carry weight
That was to give a number to every
holder of the green ribbon, but they
have to prove themselves worthy of
this and pass a medical examination.
Then If a man's affections turn to some
attractive damsel, such as XYZ-2189,
he can go to the club and fill a form
professing his affections and giving a
full account of himself, which will be
submitted to the girl he has decided
on. It Is predicted that this sugges-
tion will not prevail, for It is too slow
and complicated for Cupid. But there
will be frequent dances and excursions,
so that the young people will have an
opportunity of knowing each other
well.
They say the men will have a good
time, due to the natural surplus of
women in France, which the war has
accentuated.
PLAN COLLEGE FOR OLD BOYS
Oxford University Project Would
Take in Ootogenarlans Who
Want to Study.
London.—Jolly old chappies of four-
score years and ten, frolicking on
the Oxford playing fields and dodder-
ing septuagenarians lolling in cush-
ioned punts on the upper reaches of
the Thames may become realities. If
the plan for the entry of the old as
well as the young to the famous Eng-
lish university Is carried out.
The suggestion Is that a college be
established for adults, as Ruskln col-
lege was established for the education
of men from trades unions. Such a
college. It Is pointed out, would be a
haven of refuge for extra-mural ac-
tivities of the university, nnd would
enable many adults to carry on stud-
ies which they started under the ex-
tension course Idea and which they
have been unable to complete..

They had been chatting since enter-

opposite them on top, heard nothing
really good until Grant's monument
was reached.
Without taxing her hearing In the
least the Woman learned that they
were former schoolmates at the uni-
versity (for university days were
mentioned again and again) who were
revisiting the city after a number of
years.
"I don't think the girls of this cen-
tury will ever stand for long skirts
again," remarked the one In the green
dress. "Reminds me of what Evelyn
was telling me Just before I came
away. She was making a skirt for her
daughter, Doris. Everything except
the correct length had been decided
upon. Evelyn wanted to make this a
little longer than Doris' other skirts.
She told her that the fashion was for
Increasing the length. But Doris TTas

"Evelyn, you know, generally lets
her have her way In matters of dress,
but this time she argued and Doris
burst into tears. 'Be fair, mums,' she
pleaded. 'Honest Injun, now which do
yon think I should take—the advice of
one mother or of twenty girls?"'
"And what happened?"
"Oh, mother shortened the skirt, of

HISTORIC HOME FOR AMERICA?
Possibility That Dwelling In Which
Miles Standlsh Was Born May
Be Brought Here.
The hero of Longfellow's poem,
"The Courtship of Miles Standlsh,"
was a real historical character, who
was born In Lancashire, England,
somewhere about 11584. It Is now sug-
gested that the house where he was
born should be transported to New
England. It Is even snld that within
six months the four rooms of the
Standlsh home now located In the par-
ish of Standlsh, near Wlgan, Lan-
cashire, England, will be fitted Into the
house for some United States citizen
whose family history goes back to
Mayflower days. The Standlsh house
has been occupied by the Standlsh
family since the Norman conquest.
One of the ancestral stately homes of
England Is Just now being taken down
and carried across the Atlantic to be
set up stone by stone somewhere in
the States. Now If history belonging
to these ancient buildings could also
be transferred to the United States,
what n heap of renown that enterprl*-
lng nation could collect and own?—

Rodent Was the Burglar,
A New York Chinaman sent an ur-
gent call to detective headquarters
complaining that $900 had been stolen
from him. The Chink, who conducts
a restaurant, told the detectives he
suspected a colored employee, stating
he hid the money In his cellar, but
could not locate It. A detective sug-
gested a search of the cellar. The
detectives made a careful survey,
without results. As they turned to
abandon their search, one of them
noticed a small bundle of paper move
8cross the cellar floor. Springing up-
on the object, he placed his foot full
upon It. The bundle ceased to move,
but Its moving force—a husky rat—
vanished Into a nearby hole. Nine
hundred dollars in bills was in the
bundle, thus accidentally clearing up
what might have been a baffling mys-
tery.

THE BELROBE
(Concluded only with Designer
Patterns)
By clever handling, the Belrobe ex
peits have laid this pattern on so
that it saves from 1-4 to 1 3-8 yards
cf material on every garment.
Figure savings like this on every-
thing you make this season and see
what an amazing sum it Is.
Wi.t n you ti low the us r • .•> - t i-
;ng layouts the amount of materia;
specified on the pattern envelope is
all you need to cut out your garment
There is a Belrobe cutting layout
for the pattern in your size laid out
on material the same width as yours.
You just select your cutting layout
and follow it. It shows you how to
lay on each piece so that you make
good use of every inch of your ma-
terial.
It saves you so much time, too!
The old way means precious minutes
spent in laying on the pattern
pieces—trying them in every con-
ceivable formation. When you fol-
low the Belrobe, you lay them on in
almost no time at all and you are
sure you are doing it in the mosi
economical way possible.

Sets World Record in Potatoes.
London.—What Is claimed to be a
world's record In potato growing Is

which were produced from one pound
of seed.
Some one yon know is hoping to find
a new pair of garters or a rich ribbon
bag in her Christinas stocking and
here are garters and bags that are
guaranteed to please. One pair of
the garters Is made of narrow silver

Always To The
Highest Market
All commodities find their way to the highest market.
Legislative history is filled with attempts to overcome this
natural law—and most of them have ignominiously failed.
Where two men or two companies compete for the
same commodity, the one who can pay the higher price gets
the goods.
That fact is as true of natural gas as it is of any other
commodity. The highest bidder gets the new supply in the
field. When a pool is brought in at least three companies
are immediately after the gas.
Good Fortune
This company has been fortunate thus far in obtaining
its supply, although it has had to meet competition from
companies able to pay more than it can, simply because they
receive more for their gas.
Such a situation cannot continue forever. The com-
pany that can pay the highest price will get the gas, and
the company that can pay the highest price is always the
company that gets the best rate.
Serious Question
Increasing expenses cannot pile up on the operating
end and be met with insufficient revenue. The people we
serve must realize that the service is worth such a price to
them as will enable us to obtain gas, transport it to them,
and supply them well.
The lowest rate the courts will permit are not the rates
that will enable us to discharge our duty to our people.
Your wishes in this respect will govern—do you want
gas service at a fair price, or do you want a price so low
that the service must suffer?
