Bumpus of Tufts College, and One of Their Number Here Ex- j plains Why the Girl Who Works Displays the Better Judgment in Selecting Her Wearing Apparel, HB question whether shop girls dress with better taste and presente better appearance than college girls still remains unsolved. Cob lege misses feel quite indignant naturally that this supertority shoult be awarded to their less fortunate sisters, yet the shop girls make me pretense of feeling in the matter and simply point out that the experiment recently held in Boston proved conclusively that the giris who toil for a living know how to dress in a far superior manner to the average college girl. The debatable question was in progress for some thne and recentty President HL C. Bumpus of Tufts College arranged a test that brought forth from him the remark: “Here {s a pathetic instance of where educe- tion falls to educate.” The remark was brought forth as a result of what {t4 ‘ has every appearance of belng one of vided. the matter President Bumpus ar- women, including both under and out- ler gurmants, He then summo jscore girls fron they were told to enter the room, look carefully over the garments hat were being displayed and to select such urments as they would desire to using ecaution in the choice, most a forewarning that it) Tnow hcurv nave Lenean we The forty girls entered the room Individually or in pairs, overlooked | n carries all the re two tables at their leisure and, it} uisite surgical ings, an X-ray outfit and operat. | t* ported, were not hurried ta the ed by a pilot, a surgeon and a radiographer. | siightest de in order that th an outfit can be readily estimated, | would be opportunity «afforded | as frequently catastrophes (train wrecks, explosions, &c.) occur | whea the ection had been imade in isolated spots impossible to reach quickly by any other means, that a fair and unbiased opportunity | From Warships in Hudson Gobs Swapping Date Notes “Decoding Cupid” Easy for Watchers Who Know’ Telegraphy, but the Majority Have to Make} “What the Gobs Are Saying” a Guessing Contest.

This part of programme was carried out with premeditation by those who were undertaking the test, and movement of the two scts of girls was closely watched In order that the test might be observed from an honest angle and a fair opinion rendered by the selected judges. It turned out that the forty college giris, almost without exception, wert to the table that contained a vast amount of showy, highly colored and inexpensive garments, in fact, what shop girls would term “showy.” They selected the goods from this table without scarcely a glimpse at the other table, which was hardly scanned when the lustre of the more |inexpensive gurments caught their j eye. ‘Upon the entrance of the groups oF | pairs of shop giris to look over the | goods for selection, it is reported that | without hesitation these young wo- |men immediately went to the table finer grade more vine-like, although even in our} sprigged muslins and streamer trim- med leghorns we do not cease to de- mand the vote. | A vote of thanks is indeed due to the artist who brought out the lovely printed chiffons of this season, They; are Not splotched all over in huge diabolical designs, like those of last Spring, but artistically reveal at set intervals lovely trailing rose gar- lands, tied with true lovers’ knots, With ivory white, silver grey and| black backgrounds and made up to best feature design, these chiffons are truly exquisite.

But conscience jealous of your inviolability—and points as infallibly to right and wrong as the needle to the north, Men “without a conscience” are nen without faith; without loy- alty; beyond redemption. They'll never bare and they'll never bear the truth. They don’t plough a straight furrow. They're not open and above-board, They're not white. heir hands and their hearts and their gou's are besmirched. They're stained to the core. Conscience 1s that inexorable Judge expounding the law of Hue |, manitarianism and Universal Brotherhood, It is that persisting, protesting sensation which makes the strongest of us pause when flirting with moral dynamite. Its qualms and twinggs, its torments and prickings and pangs are the thorn stings and the danger signs and the storm signals reading “KEEP OFF!" “STOP! LOOK! LISTEN!” Ambition may temporarily overshadow ethics. ‘The voice of the charmer lures for awhile. But the voice of conscience, inescapable, eventually makes itself heard above the tempests and passions of battle and cries out the snags and reefs ahead. You can't shake your conscience—you can only quench it doing its dictates, Without conscience there could be no integrity; no honor; no fair-play; no justice, There would be only inequality and iniquity; unprincipled inconsideration of your rights and of my rights; cor- ruption and disruption of all private and public enterprise.
