Miss Vining, of Boston, has stirred
up a, tremendous sensation by her re-
cent assertions that the girls Of society
drink, use swear words and are gener-
ally not refined. The Indignation reused
in effete Boston by this reckless state
ment of the young woman with a bibu-
lous name, stirred Beacon street and
Commonwealth avenue to their very
center, and, indeed, it required some
courage on the part of the accuser to
say such extreme things of a class of
young women who consider it immod-
est to appear with their eyes unpro-
tected by glasses. 1t may be that the
long and correct words used by the
young women in question were of such
unfamiliar sound in the ears of Miss
V1n1ng that she miStOok them for pro-
family. But it was when she went to
New York to the Waldorf Astoria that
she capped the climax by repeating
her accusations, this time in regard to
Gothan's >fairest maids, and when in
terViewed as to her exact statement,
is reported to have said that she was
not referring to working girls but to
daughters of very respectable" fam
Ines. 1t is interesting to note that in
the mind of Miss Vining it is not re-
spectacle to work. Let us hope that
she will confine her activities to her
present sphere, for should she strike
this section of the country she would
discover that it is not considered re-
spectacle not to work.
In support Of his decision that a
man may not pay his Wife's unneces-
sary bills, a court somewhere contends
that wife may be the president of a
college, the pastor of a large and
wealthy church, and he a clerk or ser
want at a salary of $40 month" Not
exactly understanding what that has to
DO With the subject it is still apparent
tnat the law has not gotten over it's
! old habit of discriminating in favor Of
man as against the weaker sex. The
| court should understand that any
woman who is president of a college or
holds like important position, would
not think of marrying until she felt
| that she could afford to support hus-
| band, and would not be at all likely to
ask him to pay her unnecessary or
| even her necessary bills. BY the way
! it might be we'll for the court-or for
any one-to define what an unneces
! sary bill is. Anything so unpleasant as
bill is in it's very nature necessity
| as it is only the joyous and pleasant
things of life that can truly be called
| luxurieS.
! A very important dictum has recent
| ly been pronounced by Mrs. Clarence
| Mackey, of New York, who states fol-
/ the assistance of those who have not
| her advantages of wealth and knowI-
edge, that to put red stamp on violet
envelope is very bad form. This state
ment, appearing as it does in one of the
! lam ANTS Of
| containing forty-nine pages, might
| possibly be overlooked, so it is repeat
! ed here where it can do the greates
! good to the greatest number. This
contribution on the subject of the color
I question cannot but be of prime i'm
! portance to those living in the outlying
/ suburbs who may be addicted to the
| violet paper habit and who have also
/ combined it with red stamps. and MAY
account for the miscarriage of some
/ important documents owing to the
| frenzy of mail carriers because of the
violation of all the canonS of good taste
| If the matter of the color of stamps
! could be brought to the attention OF
some of the postoffice authorities who
have not. too much to do, some reforms
in the matter might be effected.

| There is no longer any necessity for g
| poet, even a very good one, to be dis
| couraged and allow melancholy to prey
| upon him. If he does not find pub
| fishers amenable, if the newspapers
pronounce his illusions full of merit
| but lack the space for their appear
| ance, he still has no reason to repine
| All he has to do is to make lucrative
| connection with Bears SOAP" EfVapo-
lio,' Mothers Comfort" Smiths Skin
| Scourer." or "Baby Bunting's Bottle
| Bitters," and make a comfortable COM
! petence rhyming innocuous rhymes
which border the tops of street cars
He is thus not only enabled to live well
| and dress as becomes a poet, but he
makes enough to publish his real poems
| at his own expense and thus add to the
| gayety of nations. Aside from the COM
| forting thought that he is enabled tc
| buy bread and butter for large poetic
| family, is the fact that it is not neces-
/ Sary to sign his name to the really eX-
| cellent poems which make a street cal
| now such delight to those of literary
| mind. This is the age of ages for poets
| when utility and art go hand in hand
and had the poetic possibilities of pure
food been understood in earlier times
many tragedies might have been avert
| ed and many genius would have haG
| his full need of appreciation during his
| life and post-mortem praise been less
heart-breaking in its hardness.

| DR.. Albert Shaw says Minneapolis i:

but not likely-that DR.. Shaw doe:
| not know what is going forward il
Minneapolis, but whether he does OF
not, his choice of words is a clever one
| Minneapolis is attractive, to the stu
dent of sociology, to the psychologist
to the philosopher, to the thinker, t.
| almost every one. 1t may even be call
| ed buoyant by those living outside the
city limits. The dictionary definition
of buoyant is floating, light" and Sc
| it is even more apparent that DR.. Shaw
! chose his words well. For Minneapolis
is exceedingly light mentally and DR.
| Shaw could not have meant anything
| else, because mentality is what he deals
! in and knows the most about. And GER
tainly Minneapolis is floating, or drift
| ing, just at present; indeed, it is only
the floating population that is out OF

| Nieollet avenue the past week made a

How do you do?" his friends said
How do you do it?''
