Parties are supposed to be K'ven in Iheir benefit and they are supposed to lie mude happy anil comfortable and proud by such a show of af fection. Hut are the parties really Riven in their benefit, and do the parties really make them happy and com fortable and proud? Yes, in the same sense as lynching parties are (riven to please the victims. Now suppose that you are John J. Jones, who lives in a fashionable suburban neighborhood, with a wife land a car and a healthy appetite for a friend v name of uridire. Ann a dav comes when it seems to you that thiiiKs are very dull. There is nothinjr KoiiiK on. No bridge par ties in the offinst. No dances. Noth- (inir. ,wnai is ine liuhk mai. i-innci to you to uc : , The thine to do Is obvious. You I do not hesitate. In such a predica ment nobody ever hesitates. it is time to start a surprise party. And 1 you do, Selecting the Victim. I Ycu pick out of the neighborhood iu fine large house a house with a igood floor for dancing and a good I phonograph and as few babies as , possible and you say to your wife: I '-See here! The A. Baxter Simper tons have lived here 17 years and :we haven't given them a housewarm ijng yet! it is prepostercus! It is leven criminal! We ought to be shot! : Let's give them a surprise party as an evidence of our great esteem ' ind profound mortification and go 'ivor und raid his wine cellar." And so it conies about. You get up a party. You gather together Ii0 neighbors and a couple of bachelor and the armv of vou. all dressed up like the night of the ball, gc, sneak ing up the victims' lawn anil over their stoop and into their silent hal! go charging, crying, "Ha! ha! ha! Jia! ha! ha!" A Glorious Success Ami of course it's a glorious suc cess. The Sinipertons are surprised half to death. And are as happy and comfortable and proud an they can be. You knew this is HP, be cause they say so. But you could huve told it was so even if they hadn't said so. Mrs. Simperton, who was darning stockings as you came in and made her happy' says, "Holy Moses!" and faints all over the cat. And Mr. Simperton walks in in his B. V.

Cleanliness A Modern Id ea SHORTLY before the Civil "War, Boston made it a pris on offense to take a bath except on the advice of a physician. The Philadelphia Council tried to make it illegal to bathe: between November 1 and March 15 and failed by one vote.. Virginia placed a luxury tax of $30 on each bathtub in the state. Ideas regarding cleanliness have changed materially since then. In fact, ideas on almost everything have un dergone something of a metamophosis. Today, these changes are taking place more rapidly than ever before There, has never been a time when evolution hit such a f urious pace when conditions changed so quickly when standards of living were raised so consistently. ' You may not realize it, but advertising is responsible for much of this improvement. Advertising has taken its place as a leading force in solving the wants of the people. Stop and think how many of the appliances vou use the foods you eat, the clothes you wear and other articles entering Into your daily life, were popularized throuph newspaper advertising- b Then you will realize what a debt vou owe to ulvm-tising.
