A Standard of Taste.

81 am beginning to doubt very much
whether there is any real standard of
taste" remarked woman of culture
who had always been considered more
or less an authority in aesthetics. Il
used TO be very intolerant of anything
that did not agree with my IDEAS" she
continued, but as I grow older l find
that so many people choose and are
perfectly satisfied with decorations and
clothes that / think quite hideous that
l often ask myself, Am l right or are
they right?' or is the whole thing sim
ply matter of individual taste?
My first takedown in this direction
was from our rector in the country He
was a plain man, with a great deal of
obstinacy. So when our little church
needed renovation he proposed to put
the whole job into the hands of the firm
of which Mr. X. is a member He is
a successful builder of garishly adorned
flats. At this the women of his con-
gregation protested. And they strongly
urged upon the rector and vestry that
I should be requested to choose at least
the interior decorations, whereupon the
former remarked:
g You think one way, ladies, and of
course we all know you have very good
taste. Mr.. X. and I think another way,
and, while our tastes may be different,
we consider it equally good All things
being equal, therefore, in that respect.
we must consider the matter from a
business point of view, and there we
have the advantage of you; SO l think
we must leave the entire matter to Mr..
x. and feel satisfied that with his expe-
rience we cannot go amiss.'
"And so the church was decorated
and, in my estimation, spoiled, although
our rector and two-thirds of the con-
gregation think it perfectly beautiful.
mot long ago a costly house was
built in our neighborhood by a we'll
known architect. 1t has been much
criticised and the opinions are dia-
metrically opposite. One afternoon two
women called upon me at different
times. and as the new house is in full
view from our veranda it's appearance
was naturally commented upon.
4" What do I think of it?' said WISH
tor No l. why, there can possibly be
only one opinion. l should say it is
hopelessly and irredeemably ugly Wis
itor No. 2's comment was as follows:
Perfectly beautiful! The lines are alb
solutely faultless.
| Both critics were women Of culture.
Which was right, or, as / said in the
beginning, is there no criterion of taste,
after all?''-New York Tribune.

| While the proprietor of a lung tester
was expatiating upon the benefits to
be derived from the free use of his in

stepped out of the crowd and remarked
/ to him:
Mister. do you think it would do me
good to blow into that?"
Yes sir, certainly; it would expand

and lengthen your life. Why, you'd
soon be able to blow 800 pounds and

! Yes, sir, So Wouldn't you like to

the crowd.
Il don't care il I do said Greens,
coming closer and throwing down a
coin. Then, taking the mouthpiece in
his hand, made ready. He opened his
mouth until the hole in his face looked
/ like a dry dock for ocean steamers, and
began to take in wind. The imitation
was like that of a big balloon. but not
Aso disastrous. The fellows chest be-
gan to grow and distend until he re-
sembled pouter pigeon more than a

cheek bones to see what was the mat
| ter, but the indicators top went up
/ like flash, and its needle spun around
until it stood at 800 pounds. The crowd
cheered, and the keeper of the thing
I paid over - with mutter of astonish-

gang, suspected of having been hired
by Plunger Howard to dump Million
aire Green overheard, and accused of
having confessed that he leaped from
the railing of the steamer that bore his
intended victim out on to the high seas,
and then padded to the shore some
miles away when courage failed him, is
at liberty.
A writ of habeas earpus, sworn out
on behalf of the accused permitted the
hearing of the facts of the case, how
ever, and when they had been present.
ed, together with the law bearing on
the issues involved, Judge Murasky,
who heard the argument on the writ,
held that even sufficient evidence did
not exist for the successful prosecution
of an action in trover, let alone upon
which to condemn the accused of a
felony. Hence the writ was granted,
and Casey is at liberty.
