From the Washington Post
RI HE twentieth century woman who
would be thought to be familiar
with the most approved social GUS
toms must curb her emotions in public.
For the time being fashion has forbidden
manifestations of affection except in
private.
There must be no parade of the affec-
tons in the public eye, the example of
European royalty to the contrary not
withstandng. Women, young or old,
must preserve absolute placdity of mien,
complete immobility of countenance when
greeting friends or relations.
The bursts of tears, ladylike Mysteries,
fainting spells gracefully DONE and af-
fectionate greetings, countenanced by tho
highest society of long ago, are no longer
considered good form. The woman brave
enough to embrace her own husband in
public place proclaims her ignorance of
the canons of smart society.
Nowadays the curriculum of nearly
every finishing school includes course
on how not to show what one feels in
public. 1t has come to pass that when
the big steamships leave this port the
sail on them and their friends who see
them off are of the mildest description.
Tears are no longer in evidence. Some
hugging may be INDUCED in in state
rooms, but mighty little is seen on deck.
In other avenues of travel 1t is the
same. -
Sail an elderly woman seated on the
piazza of a mountain hotel:
Il can generally gauge the social status
of a woman by the way she gerets her
husband in upblic or allows him to greet
her, or by the way she receives her wom-
en- friends, for that matter
AS she spoke she dropped tiny bit of
fancy work and raised her jeweled lorg-
non to inspect the hotel bus arriving from
the station with load of passengers. Her
companions also dropped their books and
work and watched curiously.
Quite unconscious of the watchers, of
everything, in fact. but n passenger get
ting out of the bus, a pretty young mar
ried woman rushed down the steps and
was caught in the arms of a big, jolly
looking man, who unblushingly gave her
a resounding kiss.
Didn't l tell your" exclaimed she of
the lorgnon with a shudder. In spite of
her good looks and clothes, have known
from the start that that woman was not

Here she broke off with a gasp. A young
kirl had been kissed vehemently by a
Eoung man, evidently not her brother,
fwho alighted from the stage. 1t was not
"a brothery kiss.
h"Shocl1ingp exclaimed the owner of the
1orgnon.
II heard that she is engaged" said one
of the group of friends consolingly, and
almost sympathetically, her eyes follow

Lazy people Feel Heat.

From the Pittsburg Times
According to Professor Morrison OF the
University of Chicago, summer is not the
logical season for taking vacations. As
shown by the action of certain animals
in ALTERNATING, winter Is the natural time
for resting and recuperating from ones
labors. The summer heat is most ener-
waiting to the oilers, the loafers-those
who have nothing to keep their minds
and bodies busy. AS proof of this. do we
not all feel the heat more acutely on Sun
day than on any other day? A 75-degree
temperature on Sunday causes more SUIT
ferlng than one of IS degrees on Monday.
The man or woman who keeps busy on
hot day would never notice the heat, nine
times out of ten, were 1t not for the re-
marks of others who have nothing to do
but think and talk about the weather."

Avenue State bank and son of the
fugitive president Of that institution,
has come to the rescue of the $4,000

that there is an excellent chance that
all those who have deposits In the

authority to make the transfer OF the
property for the benefit OF the deposi.
