The individual wealth is probably greater in our small towns, than in our cities; the people appear as ¡neat, clean, and as good in every way, but they are more sensible, or have less temptations to buy hundred dollar dresses, or suits every time the big store window puts in a new tempting gown to be gobbled up by the poor, discontented, clothes- mad, fashion-crazen, city dweller. The craze will eventually wear out, as other reckless fads, but it is sympathy to the uneasy soul that the contented country home loving populace extends; hopes for a more contented world. How unlucky some people are that worship the clothes go$. The beauties ar.d comforts of the world are open to the more contented; jusi as free as to the style chasers, or idle rich. The same church, same schools, same shows, same pretty spots of nature. The same Fords, or big cars are driven by the sane as by the insane. May the Lord be merciful to those good people with the restless, health destroying disease termed discontentment and the ever longing for more clothes not as pretty Chas. Gelbrich and son L.
