NKW YOKK, July 2. Surprise
parties are mine fun than a circuit. i
Kvervbody thinks so. That is, every
body but the persons who iret surprised-
The victims are amonK th8
saddest figures U be found any
wliei-e in the American social world.
Thev are not supposed to be sail.
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. D.s and says
You never saw a host and hos-

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.
