Germany and England can get Swed-

Publications that sedulously report
the doings of society as represented by
the rich bring the cheerful tidings that
invalidism and idleness have gone out
of fashion. 1t is not good form, they
say, for a woman to be delicate" or
for man to be without occupation.
Therefore he has ceased to decorate
the club windows, and she, having
taken up some outside interest befitting
her renewed vigor, no longer sleeps
late, but is ready to begin the business
Of the day seasonably. My lady's ath-
leticism seems to be reflected in the
fashions for 1908, if it did not even
shape them. High collars, tight sleeves
and trailing street gowns have gone
out" and loose gloves and shoes are
worn. Perhaps it is because she has
learned to care for her body that the
milliOnaire'S wife has revised the fash
ion sof dinner-giving also. No modern
hostess thinks of offering twelve or fif-
teen courses or serving six or eight
wines. Indeed, it is asserted that So
ciety continually grows more temper
ate, and in one sen4e at least this is
true for the dinner-table is no longer
overloaded with silver or banked high
with flowers. Simplicity is the law,
and simplicity tends towards temper
ance. All these new fashions are in the
direction of improvement. So, above all,
is the increasing tendency, noted by
society reporters, to frown upon gossip
as not being good form" Probably the
truth is that it never was, but that it
fiourished because people had nothing
to do. When society took notion to
be busy there was no time to talk
about other peoples affairs, nor was
there inclination so to do. In some
more degenerate age society may recede
from this position, as it has receded in
the past. But although that rule of con-
duct, not to be idle and not to gossip,
may cease to be good form, it will
never be anything but good sense.
