In spite of his WEAKNESS, Sholto led his
archer guard in person to the field of the
tournament. For this day was the day of
the high sport, and many lances would be
splintered and often would the commJnalty
need to be Scourged from the barriers.
But ere he went Sholto summoned two

brother John. Then. having posted them

a straight charge and a heavy one upon

Fashion and Its End.
From Scribner's.

Fashion is two-fold movement In its
large evolution type dominates for some
generations or So with modification so
slow as to be unperceived the result OF
social conditions prevailing in the civilized
world, forming the drift that is referred
to above that is not controlled; in its spe-
cial action it is a variation from season TO
season, and from day to day, a constant
individual creation on the same general
theme. This second movement is the one
that is popularity recognized. II is due TO
woman's present social status, which forces
her to constant effort to set herself Off
from other women, or to emu ate other
women, by her dress, as men are fore I'd
to emulate other men or to disting lish
themselves from the mass of men by force
or by intellect The end pursued by both
is sngularity, that is to say distinction
from others. and with women distinction by
beauty.
