low. We and Mr. Free both realize that if you were told the price without seeing the machine you would not be able to appreciate the fact that The FREE is the only perfect 20th Century Sewing Machine.

Instead of advertising the price we prefer to make it easy for you to own a "FREE" by offering it at your own terms as low as $1 a week, and above all we would like to have "The FREE" a 30 day trial in your own home. Try this machine—test it— sew with it on all kinds of material— if you then are not entirely satisfied— if you are not convinced that it is the best machine you have ever sewed on —the most improved—the most up-todate—if the low price does not convince you that this is the biggest bargain you have ever bought, return the machine to us and we will refund your deposit ao that the trial will not cost you one cent.

We know that a trial is the beat way to tell The FREE because we are sure —that no woman will be willing to get along without the 8 sets of Ball Bearings, the 'Rotoscillo" Movement, the French Leg

YOUTH OF THE PRESENT AGE

Ingenious Method of Merchant In Selecting Office Boy—One Wasted Valuable Time.

"Wanted.—A bright boy to begin at the bottom o£ the ladder in my office and gradually work up by his own conscientious efforts until I can take him into partnership ai^i marry him to my only daughter. Call at 9462 West Fourteenth and a Half street."

Mr. Gotrox sat in Ms office impatiently awaiting the answers to his ad. which he knew would come.

In a few minutes, one after another, a large number of lads filed In, some of t£iem breathless from running, having read their morning papers a little late. Mr. Gotrox looked them over qulokly with his eagle eye and dismissed all but two. "Now, boys," he said, after he had talked with them a bit, "I like the looks of you both, and will employ the one who does a simple thing the best." (He Bhould have said "better, inasmuch as there were only two boys, but he was not that sort of a man during business hours.) "Here are two packages, Just alike, which have been delivered here," he said. "John," addressing the sadeyed, dreamy youth, "let me see you Open this parcel."

Then John winked at himself and said in his heart: "This is Indeed a snap. How glad I am that I am upon or on to this little scheme." And with great care and patience he tugged and picked at the hard knots, and after long effort took the cord oft in one piece, wound it into a neat coll, carefully folded up the coarse wrapping paper and stepped back, trying hard to conceal the triumph In his eyes.

Mr. Gotrox made no reply, except: "Now, Sam, it is your turn." Poor Sam! He had never had any advantages to speak of, as he had been obliged to hustle a good deal all of his life and had never read any stories of good boys who had become great. He whipped out his Jackknlfe, cut the cord In four places quicker than a wink and kicked the wrapping paper into the corner. "You're the boy for me," shouted Mr. Gotrox, "and you may go to work at onoe. John," he said, "you are ft good boy, but you should have lived in 1847. You are not in It

Children's fashions all have an especial charm when made up in spring materials, and this year a look of ununusual novelty is added to this blitheness. Color put on white Is immensely in vogue, bands, yokes and cuffs in the most vivid hues showing on snowy little frocks and aprons. This color note with white may take the form of a very effective if simple embroidery on a fine frock of marquisette, which texture washes like a rag:, and very often the needlework In heavy blocks will contain half a dozen rich colors. A deep red, blue of the most intense sort, black, orange, mahogany and green are tints that appear In this needlework, which, whether hand or machine made, is called Bulgarian embroidery. Of course the small frocks so treated need to be dry-cleaned aa the vivid trimming used cannot be oounted on to stand the rigors of the washtub.

Nevertheless, many a little lawn and linen frock may show needlework in one or three of these rich colors, and if the garment comes from a first class place—perhaps a shop that makes a specialty of juvenile wear— It is pretty likely to be warranted as washable.

With the bordered muslins, lawns, swisses and challles,—for challie Is included among the wash materials—the contrasting banding will be used with charming effect at the bottom of little 6klrts, about the cut-out neck and at

the edge of sleeves. All white frocks are seen In plenty and surely nothing could be sweeter for very young children, but when the child has passed five a touch of color is newer, and it is apt to appear if only in the form of ribbon knots and sashes.

As to design, the garments of the girl of seven, perhaps, are pretty apt to show some of the lines of her mamma's frocks, for kimono cuts are used fer bodices and there are many little one-piece gowns almost identical in line with those for grown-ups. The difference comes in an easy width of the skirt, in a decolletage of the neck and In very short sleeves, all raiment distinctly for summer wear showing these last points.

Models for the tinier children have the babyish features suited to pudgy Infantile figures, and with the dressup wash frock it is pretty much the rage to have the child look as much like a French doll as possible. The long bodice and skirt—that Is no more than a tiny flounce with edge sometlmegjalling afeorLof tha child's knees

Beautify Your Lawn

Have your Lawiimower sharpened by the very latest method. We have erected in our shop one of the famous Ideal Lawnmower Grinders, a machine especially built for the purpose of grinding Lawnmowers, which does the work perfectly. If you will favor us with your patronage, we guarantee to give you back your Mower in better condition than the day you bought it. It will be sharp and stay sharp longer than the old style way, which is usually done by inexperienced workmen with a file or on an emery wheel. Next time your mower needs sharpening bring it in and we will make it cut so nicely that it will surprise you.

but instead of the distinct sleeve the bodice portion of the smart garment Is cut in one with these details. In fact, It Is well nigh Impossible to escape the kimono Influence, and although It may be run in the ground after awhile for the moment It is all powerful.

Among the accessories for little girls are delightful aprons, whfcli, since they are skirt length, may be used on a hot day in the house or country without a frock. These graceful and important details may be of the plainest linens or ginghams, but mothers who like the neatness and coquetry of the apron often turn out cunning little affairs of dotted swiss with lace edges for wear with quite fine frocks.

The "cook's apron" Is the next style, the rear bands fastening at the shoulders being an exact imitation of some of the apron cuts used by chefs. The little quantity of goods needed for this apron should recommend it to mothers who like their children to present a neat appearance at home and who cannot afford too many changes of frocks. Then quite a gay and childish look can be given the small garment with the use of a colored cotton with small Jlother Goose figures for the banding, one such being employed In this eas* Ml a brown linen.
