WHERE ARE THE IDEALS OP
YESTERYEAR? ASKS M'LISS
Even If a Woman Has White Hair and Creaking
Bones, Getting a Seat in a Crowded Car
Is a Difficult Proposition
IT tVTAR a crou-rlcd Spruce Btreet enrs seven of lt itcatu tvnre occupied by
ltreh-facel, shiny boys bound for the West Philadelphia High School, Nine
womeft some young, some old and a great many men stood.
The fourteen youngster, who sprawled In their seven seats, gave vent to
the ebullient spirits that characterize the American youth at nil times, but
chiefly In the early morn, when he Is on his way to the sclioothouse after a
quiescent night.
The entrance of an elderly woman a worker one could guess from the little
package she carried under her arm left the boys unmoved. They ranged In
nge from 14 to 17 years, I should say, and were therefore old enough to know
better and young enough to stand.
llut no; they Jested on unmindful of the difficulty the white-haired woman
was having to maintain her equilibrium In the swaying car. With a black
glance at the youngsters a man, relinquishing the Joys of his morning paper.
cot Up and surrendered his seat. The Incident was closed without the black I
look having had nny visible effect on the boys. Apparently, the fact that
they had failed signally In manners, which Is, of course, only another way of
aylng In kindness of heart, never even crossed their callow minds.
Too often, I believe, the American woman Is attacked unjustly; but Is It
not borne In on one with ever-recurring frequency that the American youth
Is deplorably lacking In Ideals? And If the American boy nnd tho American girl
lack Ideals, It cannot be otherwise than that the American parent has failed
to supply them with nny.
nellnqulshlng your scat In a ear to a woman, or removing your hat In an
elevator In her presence are small things In themselves, but they stand for
Ideals'. Women, -von those below the Mason and Dixon line, who, we arc
told, are more accustomed to these visible expressions of chivalry, liavo become
sensible enough not to tie chagrined If the Tired Business Man (rilns, alnckn
dayt) does not arise with alacrity and urge his seat upon hnr. In fact, she
has even ndvanced far enough to refuse to let him make this sacrifice, If he
looks his part. Hut It would be a sad commentary on the present age, Indeed,
If either men or women had advanced so far as to bo unmoved by tho sight
of an old woman standing while sturdy boys sat.
"Money-gottlng and husband-grabbing are the ideals of tho boys and
girls of today," Is the way a woman raised In the old school put It. "We've got
Just ono standard of success and thafs money. Nothing else countu. Only
tlr yourselves, boys nnd girls. If there's money to bo hud.
"Work for It or marry for it to the exclusion of all other ideals. Witness
the prfde a mother or father has In the son who Is a financial success and In
the daughter who marries well. These only are the things that count. What
then can you exect from the Amcrlcnn youth?"
Affinities a La Grab-BaR
Apropos the approaching February H, an Interesting communication con
cerning the origin of valentines has been sent to mo.
"Tho custom of Kcnding valentines," he (or she?) writes, "by tho mall la,
t best, but the perversion of a simpler and more romantic custom which
prevailed In Franco and Great Britain In the days before America was ills
covered and the world had not tho slightest conception that such a man iih
Theodore Roosevelt would ever exist. In those 'good old days' tho bachelors
and maidens of it community met each February 14 and proceeded by the
matter-of-fact process of u lottery to determine their 'alllnltlcs.'
''The names of bachelors and mojcla were placed In separate receptacles nnd
then the fateful drawing took place until all the names were exhausted. If j
the number of girb was In excess of that of tho young men, or vice versa, it I
was Inevitable that they could not secure their valentines, as tho chosen ones
ivero called, so there was nothing to do but remain single until tho next nn- ,
rmal drawing or cscupe the ordcul of another failure by getting married. '
"Those drawings were not always ns expected, anil often led to somewhat j
embarrassing results. For instance, young Jock o' the Hill might draw Maid ,
Mlrlun as his valentine and be entirely satisfied, whereas Maid Mirian would '
draw 'Witless Will,' the butt of everybody in the village, and be as decidedly j
the averse. It was 'all u game of chnncc, yet there seems no reason or no
necessity at that far dlstunt duy to doubt the assertion that many happy j
marriages resulted from the custom. (
"There is nothing whatever to establish a connection between St. Valentino '
and the custom, That good and estimable man, being a saint, was presumably I
averse to flirting utid regarded 'the femulo of tho species' much ns he regarded I
that gentleman with tho cloven foot who Is said to masquerade as u lion
seeking whom he may devour." M'l.lSK.

Dear M'LIks Is there nny treatment which exports offer for meeting eye
brows, and If so, Is It advisable to undergo such treatment? I um not the kind
that lounge around the beauty parlors and am, therefore, entirely Ignorant of
tho benefits derived therefrom.
This treatment I suppose Ik called "arching the eyebrows." If one lia.s lu-r
eyebrows "nrched" doesn't she have to perform a continual performance'.'
(iltATKFLL.
Electrolysis, It Is said, Is tho only method by which hair can be remi.vi d
permanently. It Is painful, nnd tho electric needle should only be wielded by tin
expert. Arching the eyebrows, however. Is not removing the hairs from tho
bridge of the nose; It Is, instead, only shaping them delicately. This, too. I am
told,, la within the realm of electrolysis.
Dear M'LlssSomo time ago I noticed in tho Kvk.nino I.kikjkh thnt you
referred somo ono to the "Lantern and Lens Club" hero for women, and I
have been contemplating taking up photography for the past year, but kept
putting It off, so your answer camo as nn answer to me.
Hevcral days ngo I went down and Inquired about It; but I find I'll not
be able to afford' tho tlmo away from my household duties and have no ono
with whom I can leave a year-old baby ( without charge), so find I cannot
take It up, much ua I would like. Last night, ns I wnti reading tho last Lndles'
Homo Journal, I camo across an article on photography, ho I phoned down
this morning anfl find thut they ure having a. sort of correspondence school
.pf photography, where you can find out anything you want to know at no cost
whatever; and then they havo tho nrtlcles to help beginners. I know how I felt,
and thought there must bo other women who cannot Join the club for the
Knme reason as I, and know they would appreciate knowing they won't havo
to go opt of their house for the lessons; and most every woman has the maga
zine, anyway.
Hoping this Information will be of somo help nnd thanking you for the
help I havo derived from your column, I nm, sincerely, A. K. It.
My readers will bo grateful, 1 am sure, for the suggestions contuined in
your letter.
Dear M'LIss I would Indeed ,be grateful if you could tell mu tho author
of this quotation;
"I would be true, for there are those who trust me;
I would be pure, for there are those who care;
I would be strong, fqr there Is much to suffer;
I would be brave, for thero Is much to dure;
I would ho friend to all the poor and friendless;
I would bo giver und forgot the gift; t
t Would be humble, for I know my weakness;
1 would look up nnd love and laugh and lift,"

Can any of my renders help mo to place this quotation? I have exhausted
nil my sources of Information to no nvall. I do not believe It Is from any

I fear thy kisses, gentle maiden,
Thou tiecdest not fear mine,
Sty spirit Is too deeply laden
Ever to burden thine.
I fear thy mien, thy tones, thy motion,
Thou necdest not fear mine,
Innocent Is the heart's devotion
With which I worship thine.

waist-line, which so many
women acquired by wear

It has ultra-fashionable
lines, and is supremely
comfortable.
