But for two years now, bare-kneed, in her suit of tweed, she has shocked the Mrs. Grundys of Main Street until they are shock-proof. . The older girl—the neglected wallflower. sought. These two years have been lean years for that , unclassified female between the age of 25 and 30. When flapperism first began to be knocked and consequently known, she was puzzzled what to do. The vast majority of her kind settled the problem by following the popular formula of tweeds and “roll your own.” But wearing fiapper clothes and being a flapper were two different things, as she soon found out. The wallflower girl was bewildered by an unknown vocabulary—snake’s hips, bees’ ‘knees, darbs—and the like, If she went on parties she had to pet. If she didn’t pet she didn’t go. If she tted and went on parties, dancing parties, she had to ave the flapper jag. But she didn't have the pep. She didn’t have the energy simultaneously to do the latest Wicked wiggle, moan with the saxophone, keep the wrig- oe rhythun and string ’em along. So she started staying i evenings and going out occasionally to the movies With some unfortunate friend who hadn't been able to make the kick. ; There are those who will tell you that the exit of flap- is due to the return of the long skirt. Back in Bitten they have even formed a club “tu keep ‘em ” But it is not a question of the length of the skirt, or the receding limb; it is a matter of decision that reaches and forces the flapper to the rear of the stage. The decision is given by 17 authorities who declare that aged age at which women reach the topnotch of the y scale; several of these deny that beauty exists at ‘sil in a woman under 25.

What About Cat’s Whiskers? ~ Being asked of what use are a cat’s whiskers, The Star’s ‘ashington Bureau says they're so sensitive that when ‘cat gets into a tight place his whiskers notify him and will go no farther. This answer may be misleading to readers, but probably to cats. The discussion of tariff, politics, Turks, foot- i and so forth, is getting monotonous, and considera- on of the why of a cat’s beard promises a pleasant n anyhow, The feline whiskers are sensitive, true, but you just w out a partly empty salmon can and you'll find a head, whiskers and all stuck fast in it, anytime. don’t keep his head out at all.

Of course, you may try to floor the scientific evolution- ists. One of the natural laws the scientists concocted is that whiskers must disappear because of non-use. But Science will surely come back at you by pointing out that why of a cat’s whiskers is that he can lick ’em after 's had his face in a saucer of milk. And there’s just as good logic in this case as in the Washington claim that a ‘at won't go into close quarters as long as he’s wearing his beard.

George Leopoldous has discovered that citizenship in the United States means something besides money. George came to America in 1896, penniless. As between the three modern Grecian arts—restaurant keeping, shoe- shining and candy-making—he chose the latter as his Vocation. When he had collected a fortune of consider- able dimensions, like many others, he went back home to spend it. The Turks came to Smyrna, where George had taken his residence, and left George $100,000 poorer. But citizenship papers saved his life. George’s misfortune will evoke tears from few Ameri- eafis. He probably now feels like the negro who, as he ‘was about to be hanged, observed to the sheriff, “Boss, this certainly is goin’ to be a lesson to me.” I am one of those who believe that a foreign born who comes to this country to make a living should think enough of the United States to Fenounce allegiance to his foreign ruler and become a citizen of the .
