DRESSING FOR DINNER.

A prominent woman, who has to
do yearly with hundreds of young
women, gives this suggestion as to
one of les convenances of life. "a
habit which, like bathing, is not con-
cerned with expense, and yet which
constitutes a great social difference,
is the habit of washing ones face
and changing ones gown for dinner.
This one is expected to do in the best
society out in the world, so why not
in the home, the boarding house, the
college, everywhere? A large body
of experience proves to us that peo-
pie are not agreeable to each other
or to themselves in the evening I'M

necessary form. Everybody can make
some kind of a change, and especi-
ally those who are fortunate enough
to own two gowns owe it to them
selves to form the habit of putting

unable to resist the temptation of this and hence

good that present themselves to who loves his

the ability of the people to do their own governing
and thus to realize democracy.
OF this latter kind, the most conspicuous example
is that of Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland, to whom the
mayoralty has opened career of usefulness wide
and fine that the great fruits has already borne,
and the greater it is destined to bear will fall not
only his city of Cleveland, but all Amer

cities just all cities have heretofore been alike in

The Awakening of Democracy
THE recent awakening of democracy, the recent
discovery that what American cities need is not
less democracy but democracy, is the significant
fact of the time and of it democracy to Justify
itself and the dream of Walt Whitman come true:
Il will make inseparable cities with their arms
about each others necks.
