The lady who had given the talk led the discourse, as was entirely ap- propriate: “Now that we women have deter- mined there shall be no more war; that there shall be no more foreign graves nor gold-r » vacant chairs nor flag-draped photo- graphs, we will teach men, who have done all the fighting, to go to the Bible to learn that the Lord will forever condemn those that battle one with the other.” The i tle impromptu continrance of the meeting that had gone before WaS SO reaus.c tna. a4ouer Wolan paused on her way to the cashier to mention to the waffle lady that she was perfectly wonderful.

This had the effect of a challenge on a rather oldish gentleman who had baen dining serenely from soup to— forget what else he had—for he ‘arose politely and advanced far enough to the table to nip the latest oration in the bud. “Excuse me, ladies, if T intrude, but since you have accused men of neg- lect of the Good Book, I feel a right to object in behalf of my many frie who have read it .rom cover .0 cov I agree with vou *hat peace w honor is a boon to be longed for, but, epeaking of the Bible, I am re- minded that the sun was made to stand still in the heavens that Joshua might win a battle.

Merely because of a world-old theory that years and experience bring wis- dom, they are obstinately refusing to accept the self-conferred superiority of youngsters who—to quote the be- loved mammy of the Old South—"bin hatched out sucher a little timer gc that they’s still got esg shells on the tip en’ of they’s noses.” Here is one small {llustration to go by: Two girl chums—17 years old—who never think of going anywhere with- out each other, attend a school where they are required to wear neat blue serge blouse uniforms with white col- lars and cuffs and a distinctive tie for each class. One of these girls was to have her hair cut by an “artist,” who charges $5 for the first sitting and $1.50 each for subsequent trims. Her sisters said it was a high-toned place, and that she ought to go there “dressed up.” The other girl was to go along, of course, and on the night before in formed her tamily (she loves her folks and all that, but thinks them not at all sympathetic to her mental atti- tude) that she was not going to wear her school uniform but one of her best dresses, In the course of the ensuing argu- ' | ment, the mother, handicapped by conventional custom, voiced protest: “I never heard of getting dressed up to_go to a barber shop.” ‘Whereupon little daughter, in kind- ly indulgence for a beloved parent's ignorance, explained: “Mother, you do not understand. ‘This is an elite hairdressing parlor.” So you see, oh, well meaning, but serapt witn a flaming sword was placed to guard L iE.d mane ou landers of Adam and Eve he pwn claimed the world’s first war.

If big merct of holly and Christmas greens is ga.r only so much propaganda. You can take the word of an ancient market woman who knows all about it—and possibly more. i She was sitting on a box, and the box was on the bricks. An old-time quilt covered her lap and was tucked under to keep her feet comfy. It was an old, old quilt that had been washed until its pinks and blues and greens had faded into ghosts of colors, with the batting showing in stringy breaks that time and tub had made between them. She was only one in a double line of Saturday squatters back of the mar- ket between wall and curb, and a ram- shackle wagon belonging to ‘herself and the next box was hitched to a pallld mare with moth-eaten spots on her sides and a long head that drooped with patient tranquillity. Like those old, old people you see, who sit re- signedly, with folded hands, and for he same reason—because tn-v can't help themselves. But anyhow: The ancient woman was selling stingy little bunches of holly for 20 cents, and a tumble of nondescript greens, some of them recognizable as crowfoot, laurel and “runnin’ cedah,” but most ot it just—green stuff that only a botanist could size up—and then throw away. Naturally, when you are nigh on to 80 yeahs old, with a misery in your {'ints, an' your eyes not as keen as they used to be, you have to be satisfled with what you can git—which is a good doctrine to live up to, whether young or old. “Yes'm, holly is suttinly high this ERERERER ‘Winter—scurse, you know, on ac- count of what people an' the papers say about ruinin’ the trees.

Suttinly the papers say it, for why? The stores pay 'em big for they-alls advertiserments—my son says they do.” “Oh, he’s wrong there. The papers wouldn't print it if it wasn’t so.” ‘The ancient marketer's grin broad- ened and deepened to a chuckle: “Law, lady, you don't know much about ' papahs, do you?
