and made wholly by machinery. The ap-
paratus being adjustable to any measure,
you can have a costume turned out for
you complete while you are looking over
the machine. There are, of course. some
general styles and shapes that are usually
popular, and the stores keep a supply of
them on hand, but that is for the conven-
fence Of the people. not of the department,
which holds itself always ready to follow
the initiative of any citizen and provide
anything ordered in the least possible
time
"Then anybody can set the fashion," 1
said.
Anybody can set 1t, but whether it is
followed depends on whether it is a good
one and really has some new point in re-
spect of convenience or beauty; otherwise
1t will certainly not become fashion,"
IN THE DEPARTMENT STORE
I presently asked one of the young wo-

diamonds would not secure a loaf of bread
at the public stores. nothing availing there
, except or in addition to the citizen credit
which depends solely upon his citizenship,
and is always equal to that of every other
citizen. Consequently nothing is worth
anything to anybody nowadays save for
the use or pleasure he can personally de-
rive from it. The main reason why gems
and the precious metals were formerly
used as ornaments seems to have been the
great convertible value belonging to them,
which made them symbols of wealth. and
Importance, and consequently favorite
means of social ostentation. The fact that
they have entirely lost this quality would
account. l think. largely for their disuse
as ornaments. even If ostentation Itself
had not been deprived of it's motive by the
law of equality"
Undoubtedly" I said, yet there were
those who thought them pretty quite apart
from their value"
"Well. possibly replied the doctor.
| "Yes. l suppose savage races honestly
thought so. but being honest. they did not
distinguish between precious stones and
glass beads so long as both were equally
shiny. AS to the pretension of civilized
persons to admire gems or gold for their in
trinsic beauty apart from their value !
suspect that was a more or less uncon-
scious sham. Suppose by any sudden
abundance diamonds of the first water had
gone down to the value of bottle glass
how much longer do you think they would

THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE

Everybody talks the language of his
own country with his countrymen. but
with the rest of the world he talks the gen.
eral language-that is to say. we have now
adays to acquire but two languages to talk
to all peoples-our own and the universal.
| We may learn as many more as We please.
and we usually please to learn many, but
these two are alone needful to go all over
the world or to speak across 1t without an
interpreter. number of the smaller ma
tions have wholly abandoned their nation
al tongue and talk only the general Ian
guage. The greater nations. which have
fine literature embalmed in their Ian
guagess have been more reluctant to aban-
don them. and in this way the smaller
folks have actually had certain sort of
advantage over the greater. The ten
dency. however to cultivate but one lam
euage as living tongue and to treat all
the others as dead or moribund is increas-
ing at such rate that if you had slept
through another generation you might
have found none but pathological experts
able to talk with you"

'Ringsv' she repeated, regarding me

countenance took on an expression at once
of intelligence and the keenest interest.
You see, rings have not been used for
so long period that we have quite ceased
to keep them in stock; but if you wotid
like to have one made to order you would
have only to leave a description of what
you want and it will be at once manu-
factured.''
GOLD AND GEMS vALUELEsS
II suppose the main and sufficient rea-
son why gold and silver and precious
stones have ceased to be priced as orna-
ments is that they entirely lost their com
mercial value when the nation organized
wealth distribution on the basis of the in
defeasible economic equality of all citizens.
AS you know. a ton of gold or bushel of
