T HAVE been impressed In my ac- [ quaintance with men in successful i 1 business and professional life with the care many of them take to i shoulder not only the responsibilities Which are manifestly their share of jthe world’s work, but with the fact that they also shoulder a large num- ber of the burdens which ought rightly to fall upon the backs of their subordi- nates. 1 understand that in some cases it is | due to the flerceness of competition and the fear that a subordinate may be pro- moted to one's own place and one’s self ousted, but that does not seem to me to be a valid reason. Certainly some men I have known wore them- selves out by it long before their time and on that account had to leave their places to others, however imperfectly fitted to occupy them. 7 It has always been one of the char- | acteristics of greatness to secure ef- ficient help in undertaking any enter- prise. No one can pick up a life of Napoleon, for example, without being | impressed with this. Hs not only knew how to do things himself, but he knew how to get others to do those very g 657 3 even betller than he himself would have done them, A notable instance may be found in the laws which he caused to be prepared and promulgated under the name. of the Code Napoleon. But if it Is bad for the person in au- thority to take upon himself the re- eponsibilities of his subordinates it is even worse for the subordinates. There is a formative time in the youth of every man when he can be trained to do things of his own initlative. De- nied the opportunity, then he is likely never to find himself gble to compass it in after life, “Young men for action; old men for counsel,” says the wise saw, and the older man who is not letting the young fellows within the scope of his author- ity take action whenever possible is do- ing them a great wrong. In some cases, as with overenergetic parents, this denial of the natural qualities of youth to their own chil- dren works great disaster. Many men will read this who must realize now that the making of them came either through the breaking away from par- ental authority or the passing away before their time of the parents they would gladly, on every other account, things—and in some cases to do !hem;ha\'e had with them to the end.

The length is that of the shoulder cape, and the neck is high and finished with the same style turnover collar. Tha‘ fronts are laid in deep pleats, four in number, giving a broad shoul- der line, the back built in tI same manner, and the very full circular sleeve is set In the armhole under the fourth pleat, which conceals the joining at this peint, the sleeve falling in such soft folds that it is scarcely possible to believe without close examination that the little garment 1s not all in one piece. White broadcloth makes the collar and the simu- lated vest, these outlined with a fancy openwork silk braid.
