it is not such plain sailing when one is
going in or out OF a shop That is a rare
woman who does not make q practice of
entering shop by the left of two swing

turns to the left If all women would
do this it would be no worse than it is

vehicles take the left turn as a matter

to confine the height of buildings to a

Sarah Bernhard showed for the first time

mine cloak which has lately been so
much spoken Of When the curtain was
raised for the third act of the Dame

spread on the back of an armchair, and
the beauty Of it was so striking that loud
cries OF admiration were heard, accom-
panied by applause. This upset the jeal-

NOT A SUITABLE PROVISION

Senator Hale is entirely right in op-
posing the suggestion that the Offices Of
the President Of the United States be 10
Gated on the third floor OF a to-be-erected
department building. Even as tempo
rary expedient the proposition makes a
disagreeabIe impression. It is cheap, IN
dignifed, unsuitable in every respect.
sooner or later the President viii have
office quarters elegant and commodious
enough not to bring the blush of shame
to the cheek of an American citizen from
any Of the large cities whose mayors are
more decorously provided for than is the
Chief Magistrate Of a great and wealthy
republic.
Il might have been expected from
President Roosevelt that he would be op-
posed to the idea to change in any way
the architectural style of the White
House in obedience to the necessities OF
the executive Office. That venerable edi-
Zee is too intimately associated with the

WEALTH AND ITS USES

Subscribe to President Garfeld's doctrine,
that 'the richest heritage a young man
can be born to is poverty" I make no
idle prediction when say that it is from
that class from whom the good and the

OF teachers, its martyrs, its inventors, its
statesmen. its poets. or even its men Of
affairs. II is from the cottage Of the poor

To all intents and purposes ours is a

immoral. and therefore 1t happens that
while we have liberty and free insti-

that a Department OF Morals be insti-

the commissioners serving on the former
shall hold only an honorary Office. and be
