ercised the priceless privileges of
thoughtlessness and swapping now
and then, as girls, and other than
girls. have always done; but I
think it cannot be denied that
the girl of a generation ago had a
conscience on the subject of debts of
gratitude such as few have had since
her day.
7 have said that I am afraid that
with many Of us today 1t is lost art.
| am sure that 1t is not given that
prominence which 1t once had, and
that 1t is not cultivated with the en-
thusiasm with which 1t once was.
Girls are taught what etiquette says
about It, but etiquette deals only from
the lips outward, and the result is
that even our language tells the story
Of the decadence of thanksgiving. A
traveller from Mars might hear our
'Thanks!' a million times and never
suspect that 1t was meant as an ack-
nowledgment Of favor. I am sure
that up to, say, dozen years ago, in
those parts of our country where gal
lantry has held out longest, one could
not give up seat in car without
being sure of full return in an ac-
acknowledgement that meant to ac-
knowledge something, and that to-
day the average man Is utterly upset
and undone when his ears catch the
old sweet sound.
OF course this does not justify or
account for the current lack of gall
gagged in the hopeless task of restoring
men to the old paths, but in the hope
full one Of pointing out a neglected
talent which the most charming Of
girls may cultivate with good results.
am not grumbling. do not mean to
say that the girl Of the period is one
whit behind the girl of the past. do
not believe in the decadence of women.
believe that the girl of today is equal
to the girl her mother used to be; but
do not believe that it is enough to
say of our girls that they are equal
to the girls Of the past any more than
it is enough to say of flower that has
had the best attention of the best
florists for generation that it is as
beautiful today as it was thirty years
ago.
If We have done wisely, the girl Of
today ought to have not only some
thing which her mother lacked, but
she ought to have all her mothers
graces as we'll. But it is serious
question whether in pressing her de-
velopment we have not cultivated
some qualities at the expense of
others. just as in pressing the devel-
opment of certain flower we have
increased it's size and beauty at the
expense Of it's fragrance.

The web of vines by the Pilgrims door
Was filled with icy wool

And moaned like one In pain

And pleads for bread when there Is none

Circling with empty nav,
Mocking their hunger. flew the crow.

TRADE REPORT.

r, G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review Of
Trade for last week says:
Holiday trade reached its maximum
last week. nearly all sections of the
country reporting exceptional dlstri6u'
ton, and while the class of goods es-
especially stimulated by Christmas de
mand occupied the position Of greatest
prominence, general merchandise was
not far behind in activity. Transporta-
ton interests were just beginning to
overcome congested conditions when
severe storms made the situation more
complicated than before.
In the grain market wheat has held
fairly steady at some reaction from last
weeks exceptionally high point, and
there is still much evidence of a tirm
undertone. Severe weather stimulated
the western demand for livestock feed
ing. and also interrupted receipts. Here
tofore this season there has been a
large gain in comparison with the cor
responding period of 1900. Higher
prices have at last affected the export
movement.
Failures for the week numbered 26j
in the United States, as against 292 last
year. and 10 in Canada, as against Is
last year.
