C 0 ;nany of our little girls are tiding to appear as grown-
wja mm so many 01 our women are trying to appear as
little girls in tneir street garb, that the effect is quite con
fusing. There have heen few periods since the bustle was
discarded when fashions were as absurd as at present
al least to mere man.
t takes more than a ridiculous head dress and short
skirts to restore youth, tho many seem to haVe the impres
sion that a liberal expose of the bosom and the calves is
a satisfactory substitute for a draught from the lost foun
tain of j'outh. At the same time, manv vouncr trirls culti
vate a meretricious appearance of jaded and faded matur
ity. The folly of youth can lie explained, and perhaps ex
cusedout wnat excuse is tnero lor tno lolly of maturity?
Commenting upon the ignoble ambitions of some of the
girls just blossoming into womanhood half way between
girlhood and womanhood .'
"Standing with reluctant feet '
"Where the brook and river meet"
the Youths' Companion passes this well-merited rebuke:
"I here is a type ol girl perlectly familiar to all Ameri
can town dwellers. She may be seen dawdling about the
streets, singly or in groups. -She is usually very young,
but as uncontrolled apparently by parental restraint as by
any saving quality of taste. She is a travesty of fashion,
a travesty of vice. If narrow skirts are in vogue, hers are
absurdly tight. 1 f short skirts are worn, hers mount to the
knee. If collars are loose, she bares her meagre chest and
her assertive little bones to every reluctant spectator. If
hair is dressed high, she rolls hers on fearful looking ob
jects bearing the sympathetic name of rats. f hair is
dressed low, she plasters it down in scallops and eartabs.
She walks awkwardly, and without the snrinir of vouth. on
her liigh-hceled shoes; She lias a pathetic belief in the
translormmg power of cosmetics, dabs her. childish face
with crimson, and whitens herself like a circus clown,
wiinout acnieving 111s cneciMiu and piquant vivacity, lie.
at least, has a standard, and reaches it. The crirl has no
standard at all. She is a travesty even on the clown.
'A boy possessed of the ambition to appear a lawless
vagabond can do no more than cock his hat, smoke cigar
ettes and swagger. Those are his simple and restricted
methods of seeming other than he is, and they deceive no
one. J'.ven tlie policeman eyes him with a contemptuous
grin. Hut a girl has so many devices that she succeeds in
looking, if not depraved, at least discreditable. To do that
she sacrifices all the advantages that nature has lavished
on her.
'There is nothing in the world more decorative than
a girl. Whether she be pretty or not (and she nearly
always is pretty to an appreciative eye), she has the
precious quality of youth. She has the quick step, the
1 earless smile, the charming indefinite outlines, the aiuru-
larily that is so different in its litheness from the stiffened
angularity of ago. Hooks and cats and fair-haired little
girls are three things fit to be looked at, says a wise French
poet. The hook is a permanent decoration. The cat gives
always to the sheltering hearth an atmos2here of ease and
comfort and security. The little girl has but a few flying
years in which to enioeuisn ner surrounthngs. 1'oveity
cannot rob her of her charm. Vulgarity destroys it at a
blow.
"That she should know no better than to coarsen her
own delicacy, debase her own comeliness and stale her own
youth is inconceivably pitiful. That, being innocent, she
should aspire to look depraved is at once tragic and gro
tesque. The poor little painted, plastered maid, in dirtv
slippers and a hat resting on the tip of her nose, is at best
an absurdity, at worst a confession of defeat."
LOYALTY IS NOT
Loyalty 1b not measured by talk but
by aetlon. One may love, the eaKles
on Uncle Sam's money. Wbat will
tbey.do for Uncle Sam, who coins It?
The plea Is advanced by a very, few
that they can't spare the money from
their business. They'll have no busi
ness if we lose this war. A dollar
now, will save .100 In case of defeat
and Indemnities1.- '
Patriotic sons 'dolus their bit .for
tholr.country would blush with shrtme
to think anyone used them as a shield
to bide their lack of patriotism. Back
the boys in the trenches! Your dol
lar may save a life! If it holpB short
en the war one day it will suroly save
many.
If all said let the other follow ad
vance the money, what would be the
result? '
Remember your attitude, a patriot
or a slacker, as you please, may re
flect the stand of countless thousands.
Consider your help as vital to the
country's pressing need, as truly it is.
Do Your lilt.
Love of country and lovo of home
are the same.. Not bounded by in
come. Not shown by chin music and
waving of flags, but by action..
You can arrange to buy a bond on
most any terms you liko. See the
bank or ask your employer to make
this possible.
Take down that flag of red. blue
nnd white, if it is within your great
est possible endeavor to buy a Liberty
bond and you fall to do so you fall
your country in Its darkest hour.
You moneyed men mark this well,
