T)UT, mother," protested "the girl
- who was overly stout, I den t
see why you won't let me have a cape.
Why. everybody hns them! They're
the thing."
Thnt wns her only reason for wanting1
the enpe.
It made no difference te hex that the
cape made her leek just plain fat.
Her best friend had one and all the
girls In her class nt school had them,
and se she wanted one.
Of course, her best friend was very
slim, nnd she was the only girl In the
class who was overweight, but that
mndn no difference, te her either.
It doesn't seem te make any differ
ence new whether a thing is becoming
or nlce or modest or pretty; if ether
peeple are wearing It, that's thc thing
te wear.
This attitude ls the same as the ene
taken by a group of students at a prom
inent university when one number of
their publication was criticized by the
faculty.
THE faculty, especially one man who
was famous among the students for
his bread-mindedness, said thnt most of
the matter in the paper for that one
month was Indecent.
And thc young editors replied Indig
nantly thnt this number was one of the
best they had ever get out.
"Why," they exclaimed, in explana
tion of their bread statement, "we sold
mere copies of that than of any ether
this year. We had one 'Puritan Num
ber" that didn't sell at all, but every
body was crazy about this one.'
It seemed sucn an inauequuie answer.
Thc criticism was net en the selling
Sualltics of the magazine, but upon Its
ccency ! ....
Suppose it did sell, mac man c mane
its contents any mere refined ; it merely
reflected badly upon the minds and
tastes of the many who bought It.
BUT arguments nowadays are based
very conveniently en anything the
debater wants te base them en; the
grounds de net have "te be logical or
sound.
If "people are doing It," that's
enough.
If "people like It," It's all right; no
matter whether it ls questionable enough
te make you blush.
There seems te be a lack of origi
nality, and a shortage of geed taste.
It isn't geed form tbls year te prefer
something that is different from what
everj-bedv else in the world has.
It is considered "queer," "out of
style," "funny looking." .
And the girl who stands out for re
finement nnd delicacy in the midst of a
crowd which is fun -crazy has one
chnnce In a hundred of being popular.
She ls called "oild-fashiened,"
"slew," "a small-timer."
YET everybody knows that originality
ls te be admired, and that modesty
nnd refinement always win out in tue
end.
Of course, It ls just a phase of mod
ern life, this worship of the mode and
pursuit of the wild nnd jazzy.
But it Is a phase which may have a
lasting effect upon girls nnd boys who
are growing up under its influence. ,
A harmful effect.
A GIRL who has been brought up
by thc customs of her time te wear
only things that are exactly like what
every ether girl Is wearing, sny noth
ing that ls In the least different from
what every ether girl and boy is ac
customed te saying nnd de nothing hut
!. ranf.n1 "tvlebfxl" thlnES that
everybody else does won't be, much of
a woman as she grows up. f
It's hard for boys nnd irfrls who arc
having a geed time te step nnd think,
but it will be hnrder for them later en
in life If they don't de n little of the
stepping nnd thinking new that will
help them te be fitted for then.

the very best.
If we carried two or mere grades of
coffee, at two or mere different prices,
naturally they could net all be of the same
quality. x

titled te the best coffee grown particu
larly since our close connections with the

greatest value in coffee you'll find any
where. Try a cup you will like it better
than coffees selling at almost double the
