As far as the tepublicans will continue Literary Standards. (Veitoria Colonist.) would indeed be a mistake isly a certain literary fashion a considerable vogue today seem to run in cyclés. Under all the circum- it would not be altogether surprising it the present should be afflicted, for its sins, with a recrudescence of the tiresome, cheap, and stupid frivolities and futilities of the Restor: tion age. The fashion then wa practice the of an outspoken “frankness” in regard to some topics upon which decent people prefer to maintain a certain reticence. It even became the ustom to satirize and decry old-fashioned folk who insisted upon the sanctity of family life, the reality of moral distinctions, and the sanc tions of religion, to say nothing of the validi f the canons of taste. It not the fir: time that fashion had tried banish decency from literature The attempt failed, the very age which Wycherley produced also that too en- It erio to take a \\hull stances was to knows, and Congreve and “mightier spirit, pain, danger, obloquy and blindness who meditated, undisturbed by the ob- tumult which raged all around him, a song s0 sublime and so holy that it would not have misbecome the lips of those ethereal virtues, whom he saw with that inner eye which no calamity could darken, fiinging dowh on " the jasper pavement their crowns of amaranth and gold.” Conve tion even among high-born ladies naturally intelligent and quick-witted was, while the fashion lasted, quite smart and and knowing as anything that can be a The fashion, however, changed! in scientific investigation suc- age that produced Mflton, greatst non-dramatic poets, produced also Newton, greatest of mathematicians, cne of the four greatest Englishmen in history.

Tarbell's Conversion. (New York World.) The impertance of Ida M. Tarbell’s conversion from dry to moderate wet lies not alone in the fact that this noted historian of ‘Standard Oil is accustomed to weighing evidence and sifting facts from rubbish It lies partly in the, fact that she has been twice converted. In this she is mot inconsistent; the situation itself has changed. 1In the early days of the Volstead act she saw drunkenness for a time diminished and was willing to accept the law for its fruits while disliking its infraction of human freedom. Now she sees drunkenness revived and breaking out in new places, and she is compelled to ask, like 80 many, if there is not a better way. In the Delineator M Tarbell tells what she has seen. As a lecturer she travels much. Drunk- enness has invaded the Pullman car. It stages all-night revels in hotel rooms quiet enough a few rs ago. It is as evident in States formerly dry in regions admitted to be wet. ‘“‘Over- Sunday drinking parties in Western and Southern towns are sometimes of dreadful proportions.” Boys are enlisted as bootleggers’ runners. Drink- ing habits are being fastened upon the young. Disrespect for is encouraged. As a practical woman Miss Tarbell asks what can be done about it. There is no present chance of repealing the Dry mendment. But “can we,” she “modify the Volstead act so as to de- crease the number of dissenters and restore to its old power the appeal to manhood?” That ques- tion is all that there is in present-day dispute. The number constantly increases of those who Who answer: At least it is worth trying. It is not “physically possible” to keep liquor out of the country.

More or Less True man wouldn't stop suddenly in the middle of the sidewalk to powder his nose—but he will to watch a flapper do it. The mother who at least three sizer larger than her daugh- ter has one advantage—she knows her dainty garments are all still there after daughter has gone to a swell party. A cynic is a guy who thinks learning to smoke doesn’t do a modern girl any more harm than another squeak does a flivver. When a good-looking man mar- riess a jealous woman the only one who is going to have an un- happier time than the wife is the husband. An old-fashioned man one who doesn’t believe in sex equali- ty because he can't get over the notion women ought to be a darn sight better than men. You zan tell by merely looking at a man’s wife whether he ex- claims under his breath “lucky dog"” every time he meets a bach- elor. The A is is fellow who pays alimony has at least one advantage—he doesn’t have to give an account of what he does with the rest f his income. Having a cook stove in some homes is about as useless as hav- ing a whipstock on a motor car. Love has to be blind if it can stand for a homely girl in a hik- ing costume. It takes all kinds of people to make a world, but darn if we can see much use of these jewel- bedecked old hens whose purpose in life seems to be confined to showing off their husband’s money. “How to Have Soft, Pretty, White Hands.
