She felt that somehow she was wronging Dennis. He was, as he had said, se unlike other men. Dennis was different and she knew that he despised himself for the thing he could not control.

Many there are who make of a legitimate and well-established business nothing but a convenience—a place from which to get odds and ends when there is no time to go farther afield, They do not hesitate to Bend their good money away for many things they need, and which could just as satisfactorily and much more promptly be supplied by their home merchants and dealers. No business, no matter of what nature, can long exist on this sort of patronage. Nor is it fair to expect that it should. The public expect to re- eeive services as and when they demand it; but many do not do their part in making• this possible. There are manufacturing industries with fairly complete equip- ment which, 'because of such lack: of consideration, are idle much of the time, It must be patent to all that 'a busy plant can operate much more cheaply than one which is working only on part time.
