Tatnall Warner, Mrs. Pierre S. du Pont, Mrs. George A. Elliott, Mrs.

Even In those moments when they are forced to be still they feel hurried. The truth is tht hurry haa become part of their nature. They sometimes reach the state where it seems Impossible for them ever to know peace. The only peace they can achieve is a kind of self forgetfulnoss In hurrv. The more hurried they are the greater their illusion of freedom.

Their hurry is like drinking or taking a drug. Monopoly Always Feared. Probably the word "grocer" originally meant "one who sells by the great, or utters his commodities by wholesale," and they trace it to the French word "grossler." An act entitled 37th Edward III 5 was directed "against grocers engrossing marchandizes" that Is to say, against the absorbing or monopolizing of trade. Here there appears to be an early Instance of hostility to the running of great stores. Blackstone, the legal authority, distinctly states that engrossing was the "getting into one's possession, or buying up large quantities of corn or other dead victuals with intent to sell them again." Slightly Previous.

A colored man who had contracted debt some years ago with one of our merchants came to town the other day and called on his old creditor. "Didn't you 'splain to me dat if I settled up dat account you would give me a 'low-ance?" said the darky to the mer chant. "Yes, I did say so, Sam," re plied the merchant. "If you are readv to settle your bill now I will make a good allowance," and the merchant waited for the colored individual to pull out hia pocketbook. "Well, sir, I hasn't got de money jus' now, but I thought I'd come la and get de 'low-ance; my wife wants to get hersel a shawl." Weighs a Fly's Wing.
