and cruising, with all of its possibili-
ties of adventure, to Bar Harbor. Such
is the popular and accepted view OF
Yachting. but there is another and
gloomy side to the picture which the
writer. who is sometimes inclined to

Tailors' DummieS.

Wax figures are slowly disappearing
as advertising agencies. The cheap
tailors use figures of wire with heads
of plaster and papier machc. and the
cheap dentists have taken in some OF
their horrible heads with staring eyes
and teeth that were CRASHED by ma
chinery. The effect of summer sun on
a few of the wax figures that are still
used in shop windows is ghastly.
There is one figure of a woman whose
arm is dropping into half-circls, and
there is tailor's dummy whose fore
head is falling into his eyes, giving
him a very malign expression. In O
certain farce comedy a loud laugh il
raised at an incident in Q tailor's shop.

has been standing stifny against the
wall moves forward with clasped
hands, makes gesture OF agonized en-

THE WOMAN WHO HAS TACT.
She Always Says and Does the Right Thing
Mt the Right Time.

ut the Right Time.
There is nothing that carries wom-
an so far toward the goal of social sue
cess as tact. She may not possess those
qualities necessary for leadership, but
she will have no difficulty in securing
DO firm foothold that she need have
no dread of greater power dawning
npon the social horizon. The reason
for this is that in reality tact is but an
other word for goodness of heart, and
inmate kindness to all must be the key
stone that the woman of the world
builds the castles of her ambition upon.
The tactful woman always says and
does the right thing at the right time.
She never wounds by those gaucheries
which all Internationally, yet never
theless painfully, remind us of things
we had rather have forgotten, or tells
us unpleasant truths that are no less
bitter because we know that there is
no denying them.
Tact passes over every faux pas and
somehow manages to convert them
into something pleasant before the en-
barrassed perpetrator has chance to
All graces of mind and body seem en-
bodied in that one word, for woman
may be painfully plain, yet with this
virtue she becomes radiantly lovely in
the eyes of those whom her consum-
mate art has rescued from some dire
strait. She may be poor, but to those
about her the richness of her nature
atones for the lack of worldly wealth.
Her gowns may be dowdy, but as she
dwells among us she appears to be
clothed in garments of radiant light,
and it would be brave spirit indeed
that dared to cavil at the makeup Of a
woman whose gracious presence and
tactful spirit had spared them many a
period of embarrassment. Above all
virtues cultivate tact, for in it lies tho
secret of all others--Chicago Tribune.

FAST YOUNG INDIA.

self felt, and is the chief characteristic
of what has been dubbed Young India.
Young India is the more or less Eu-
ropeanized Hindoo. says Harper's
Weekly. The supple mind of the
Bengalese could not long remain i'm
pervious to the influence of daily con-
tact with the European cast OF thought,
and all Hindoos are moro or less at
fected by that contact. European
education, the study of the classics and
of contemporaneous literature, of an
cient and modern history and o. the
natural sciences. could not fail to have
results on every stratum of society,
and culture has filtered down from the
university to every class, awaking as
pirations and ambitions previously I'M
known.
A new society has sprung up, of
what may be termed Anglicized In
dams, which society, alas! is not al
ways recruited from the elite of the
native population; the higher castles,
who cling to their traditions and re-
tain their pride of race, are generally
faithful to the culture of the past. The
masses who make up Young India are
not attached to European civilization
by any sense of its superiority or by
intellectual curiosity, but in search
of remunerative appointments. To get
one of the inferior situations under the
government which are open to native
baboos 1t is necessary to be able to
speak and write English, and everyone
anxious to secure thirty rupees month
in some Office rushes to the universities
and public schools.
Three hundred candidates for place
worth some three pounds ten month!
And what becomes of the two hun
dred and ninety-nine who fail and can
no longer live the simple natural life
of their forefathers? They must die OF
hunger or swell the ranks Of poll
ticians, and they choose the latter al
tentative. Proud of the superficial
knowledge they have acquired and
primed with European catchwords, the
meaning of which have long since faded
away, they form a huge unbiased
mass uncommonly like the lower
middle classes of Europe-as noisy, as
unreasonable, as narrow-minded, and,
in some rare instances, as disinterest-
ed as those with whom we are all ia
| miliar, with the difference that the
formulas they are SO proud of are Dor
rowed from the traditions of an exotic
civilization, and that for them there is
q wider gulf than ever between the
letter and the spirit. What they aim
at is, in truth, neither national indie
pendence nor local autonomy under
the English protectorate; it is simply
access to the higher administrative
functions and political domination
over other castles, with the English
| army at their backs.
