ON artificial decoration. He Ia still, It
Is alleged, the wooer, but he scorns the
borrowed plumes Of a more effeminate
civilization. He bravely accepts the
formidable task Of being handsome in
spite Of his clothes, or at least without
any aid from them to speak Of. This
is ~self-reliant, surely, and intellectual
and healthy, inasmuch as it leads him TO
put all to the touch on his natural ply
sique, or failing that, on the charms of
his mind.
Then, again, this placement and neu-
trality of dress is not without asthetic
advantages, both positive and negative.
1t v us presumably from some Of the
chimeras Of old fashion plates, II from
nothing worse. Moreover, il the nude
is the truly beautiful. the modern male
garb certainly sticks closer TO the lines
Of the body than the costume Of any
previous civilized epoch. And then, to
ONE to what we esteem a yet more
important consideration. it has the vast
merit of frightening by contrast the
decorative essays Of the modern female.
Instead Of grossly outshining his m
kind in fripperies, the male Of to-day,
more genuinely gallant, offers his plain
person as an effective foil to their varie-
gated splendors. Thereby the woman's
aesthetic effects are individually en-
HANGED, and the mans evening dress,
which, according to Lord SALISBURY,
nc sculptor would reproduce without
being strongly tempted to commit
suicide" serves at all events to throw
into bold relief the fascinating II mere
tricious fal-de-lals of the other sex.
There is this, also, to be said for the
modern man, that his sartorial makeup
is in all probability due to the survival
Of the fttest. Not a component part
Of it, from pot hat" to trousers, but is
individually as old as history. Its char
acteristic is not innovation, but selection,
and utility or convenience have worked
with the other principles mentioned to
determine the survivors.

EFFORT AND SUFFERING.

To ras Eprroa or The SuN-Sfr: I
accidentally missed the letter Of y. M at

Let me now say that the writer misunder-
stands me II he supposes that I questioned
the power Of Deity to bring about it's ends
in the training OF humanity without effort
in which suffering Ii involved. What I
said in effect was that, % far as we could
see. effort. with its attendant suffering. was
essential to the development OF human ex-
~cellence.
Humanity is still in progress. This is not
the end. When the end comes II will per-
haps reveal the design. and the design may
be one In the result OF which all who have
furthered IL nay share. We need not yet
assume that all tho suffering which history
records has been in vain.
Our notions Of Deity and creation have
become more indistinct than eve since the
supernatural authority Of the Bible. from
which they were derived. has been lost.

admit, but is there not beyond social law

Seem Things.

When one has the demeanor and gen.
eral temperament Of a middle aged Skye
terrier, this hot weather is apt to disturb
the Imagination. The ordinary Govern
mental routine of sending out official
reports for publication several days in
advance, to be released in print at a
particular time, looks like a conspiracy
of the city dog catchers. Ademand that
one conform to the rules and regulations
established by the Government for the
Yale-Harvard r~acecourse is regarded as
suspiciously as though a hostile approach
threatened ones pet bone. A general
public clamor owe ones misdeeds is not
in the least the fault Of the misdoer, but
is the result of a worldwide conspiracy
10 tie a tin can 10 ones tail. A mere
directors meeting is a battle to be en-
tered into with a full array of aggressive
friends, all growing with threats as to
what will happen if some business is
transacted which has not been contem-
plated at all. The refusal of the invest
ing public TO boost the price Of ones
stock in a frantic effort TO stimulate the
sale of ones bonds is the result of a %
spiracy of the entire world to make one
miserable.
We are not sufficiently versed in canine
materia medica to know how to pre-
scribe; but certainly human beings sim
ilarfy afflicted make no mistake in keep
ing away for the time from the heat and
the hustle of the stock market, by TAX
ing long automobile rides in the cool of
the evening, by reading philosophical
literature during the heat of the day in
some shady place, by sustaining alto
gether from the study of the newspapers,
and by adhering as closely as possible to
a fruit and vegetable diet, drinking moth
ing but pure lemon juice.
