Most of the world’s real uplifting is done by person who would scorn being classed as uplifters. Many women not able to learn to drive auto- mobiles can offer much advice from the back seat. Russia owes us $193,000,000 on its war debt, and many would consent to settle for $1.98 in cash. The general result when a family’s income is doubled, seems to be that their wants increase four fold.

The creation of more attractive homes is a fine and lovely aim. There is a question if the younger people will ever fully return to the old homey ideals, when the women devoted most of their energies to fine housewifery, and the young people gathered for home enjoyments. It seems a long distance back to the time when | people would gather on their doorsteps to sing old | fashioned minstrel songs, while some romantic gir! would thrum her guitar, and merriment would re sound over the neighborhood. To-day the children | of that same bunch are probably at the movies or | dancing at some public resort or burning up gas- oline. | It will be interesting to see what the tab | women do to promote some revival of this old spirit. of household arts, and learned like older folks to take pride in their very fine cooking, and in main Probably if the girls made more of a stady taining a very well ordered home, it would have | some effect. People find pleasure in doing some- thing when they do it very well. Music is always a great promoter of home en- joyment. Occasionally cne now hears some little j group in the homes tuning away on a piano and saxophone and violin, or something like that, and that bunch do not worry the old® folks much. Things seem to go by action and reaction. After a period of restlessness, people may return to the | old feeling of affection for the home nest. SKIRTS AND BRAINS Prof. Muzzey of Columbia university, speak- ing at the graduation of the Sargent school of Phy- siea] Education, remarked that he was not alarmed about the alleged degeneracy of the present gen- He was not worried about bobbed hair if the modern girl did not have bobbed brains, and he was not troubled about short skirts, if the young | ladies did not have shortened brains. Manners and customs are bound to change greatly. Some 15 years ago, the director of a charitable entertainment announced to the young women who were taking part in a certain stage | performance, that they were to wear skirts 10 inches from the ground. The girls caught their breath at a suggestion so shocking. But see where they are now! The main question regarding all the social changes that come, is as to whether people are still able to think intelligently, and whether their stan- dards are such as shall produce a wholesome family | influence and clean thoughts, and whether the chil- dren who are just coming along are going to grow up well disciplined members of society. One thing seems pretty clear, that the intel- lectual achievement of young people in the schools is fully up to what it used to be, and without much doubt has gone ahead of it. The new generation of young people are very keen and bright. But there is a tendency, when they get through their education, to become so absorbed in their various diversions, that they do not keep up intellectual progress. The women’s clubs and the men’s ofgan- izations have a job on their hands to make people | think. | | As to the moral standards of the younger peo- They think the S. S.
