INTERFERING
WITH A THEORY

Mrs. Graham is lady of the old
school. She obeyed her parents when
she was young and afterward success
fully brought up six children of her own
who came when they were called and
otherwise betrayed an active belief in
The theory that the maternal word was
law and the end of all things.
Therefore. Mrs Graham took it hard
when her third daughter, Susan. be-
came a convert to the new theories
on the proper way of disciplining ju-
veniles and developing their intellects.
Susan's 9-year-old daughter. Adaline,
was going to grow to maturity with
out the humiliation of corporal pun
ishment. without the breaking of her
proud spirit, without the crushing of
her originality into conventional
molds. At least. that is how Susan
explained her theories to her mother
when Mrs. Graham demonstrated at
Adaline's elevatng her muddy boots
to a resting place on a new $40 Per-
sian sofa pillow adorning her grand
mothers davenport. Mrs. Graham had
suggested the old dfashoned application
of the back of hairbrush as suitable
to the case, but Susan had cast up her
hands in horror.

There was plenty of science about the

Adaline. Her remonstrances had not

markably at peace and happy.

And the haste with which Adaline
minded the request would have star
tied her mother out of a years growth.

Mrs. Graham is a delicate and prim
lady, so possibly she did not snort as
she arose, but it sounded much that
way. And in her eye there was light
at which in years gone by Susan had
quaked. 1t was just as well she did
not see it now. The light fingered
steadily till the day came when Susan
went to visit an old schoolmate and
left Adaline in her grandmother's
charge. then it glowed like an arc

A Natural SEQUENCE.


From the Boston Advertiser.
The accidents which happened first
to Shamrock II and now TO Constitu-
ton are the natural sequence OF the
movement OF builders to make cup
racing yachts mere shells. with the
least possible weight and strength
that is considered safe for the purpose.
II is a merely mathematical axiom that
in reducing the weight of a cup de
tenders hull and spars the strength
also Is reduced. II seems that in the
cases Of Shamrock and Constitution
the builders went too far. II is TO be
hoped that the same mistake was not
made in the case OF Independence. For
some years the point has been made in
these columns that the development
OF the modern cup racer has gone be
yond the natural and legitimate pur-
pose of cup races. which was TO devel-
op the swiftest and most serviceable
pleasure yacht To take sea voyage
in modern cup racer might be an ex.
citing experience. but for ara sane
yachtsman it could not be described
as pleasurable.
