green in his coat lapel.
II was not many years ago that the
more enthusiastic of the sons of Ire
land on the day when they bedecked
themselves with green would decline
to tolerate the sight of yellow en-
blem. Vendors of oranges and ba-
nanas did well to keep their carts OF
the street. Even belief in the same
religion was not always sufficient to
save orange sellers; that fruit was en-
tirely too suggestive Of the Orange
mems association.
In these days of increasing tolera-
ton there is less and less friction Of
this sort. The custom OF giving Saint
Patrick's day parades is gradually dy-
Ing out In this country. Many years
ago the New York city council passed
an ordinance imposing a penalty on
anyone who abused an effigy OF Saint
Patrick, but no such law Is now neces-
sary. Patriotic Irish societies observe
the day quietly, and there are services
In the Catholic churches, especially In
those edifices named after the saint.
Even in Ireland there is less and less

There seems to be a general impression
than city life is enervating alike to physical
health and to morals, that for real bodily
vigor and the uncontaminated virtues you
must go to the country.
There is shop-worn saying about the
necessity of returning to the soil every third
generation. 1t is argued that, like the IA
bled Antaeus, the human race must be re-
newed and rejuvenated by actual contact
with mother earth. Isn't this really one of
