Now the question is, whence come these
"lashings'', spoken of by Hobbies, that
cause us to will to do or will not to do GER
tain actsq They come both from within
and from without, from heredity and from
environment, Heredity gives us those
urges and natural bents that all are con-
scious of possessing, which accentuated
by environment-by teaching, thought,
reading, and conversation, becomes our
ideals that govern our conduct by influence
ing our will.
Environment is only another name for
our everyday surroundings. Anything that
makes an impression upon us is part of
our environment. If you live in the coun-
try, the trees, the birds, the grass, the sky
outside, down to the old kitchen stove in
side the house is part of your environment.
If you are a Spiritualist and believe that
you receive messages from a little Indian
girl, "Sunhower," or from "Little Bright
Eyes," whether they exist outside your
Imagination or not does not matter-they
are part of your environment and their
imaginary messages influence your will. A
pair of tumble-bugs I watched working to-
gether last summer were part of my en-
vironment, as they gave me new ideas of
cooperation and harmony, and influenced
my will through accentuating my brother
hood IDEAL
So the new thought ideal is not antago-
nistic to the Materialistic belief. New
thought teaches that by dwelling on ones
ideals one may in a large measure realize
them. Is success your ideal? Then new
thought teaches you that by dwelling upon
the thought of success you achieve success
The intensity of the thought lashes the will
to resolve. But the suggestion to dwell
upon the thought of success comes from
without-from your northumberland re-
acts upon your instructive desire for sue
cess-success meaning to you that you
shall be able to live well, have what you
desire, and possess the appreciation of your
felow-men, so influencing your will to do
the things that produce success.
Many man of ability has failed to
achieve success through want of concen-
tration upon it. New thought teaches him
to concentrate. The suggestion from with
out given through the new thought book
or teacher influences his will. He concen-
trates upon success with the result that he
achieves it. Rightly he gives the credit
to new thought which pointed out road
he was earnestly seeking. But it was not
the Invincible Will, but the Invincible
Ideal influencing his will that produced
the result he desired. "Men," says Her
bert Spencer, "are rational beings in but
a very limited sense. Conduct results
from desire, to the qualification Of which

E, S. Kepdrick, who is serving q life
sentence in the state prison for the
murder of Otto Hugo in Lamoille valley
over 20 years ago, has written letter
to the public, in which he defends him
self from the charge that, if pardoned,
he would return and kill the rest of
his family. He states that since he has
been in prison he has sent money to his
wife and children, all of which was
returned, except about $500 his wife
received from his pension. This, he
claims, does not indicate that he bears
any malice toward his family. He also
states that during the time he has been
in prison there Is not record of punish
ment against him.
The murder of which Hendricks was
convicted was cruel and cowardly, but
it was no more 80 than the assaults
made on Tom Henry by young Tread
well a few years ago. For these
assaults, Treadwell was convicted and
sent to the penitentiary, but was
pardoned in few months. 1t was no
fault of Treadwell that Tom Henry
lived, but with all the facts before
them the board of pardons turned him
loose. Since that pardon was granted,
the writer has felt more merciful
toward Hendricks. 1t has been difficult
for him to see the justice of keeping
Hendricks in prison and giving such
men as Treadwell their liberty

clothes authorized this season, let US
say that the, shapes of the coats are
marked by their plainness, the lapels and
collars will be moderate. the shoulders
natural. the cuffs freer from button dec

OF stitching on the coats. Vests will be

thought they will be in favor during the
early months. Worsteds and velours
Will also be very strong before the negli-

the most fall by the wayside and are
only shown by extreme dealers and
adopted by the few who court sensation
in their style. Some of the novel ideas

but a meager idea can be transcribed of
their singulaTity. In the hope, however,
that we may be able to minimize the
shock when you do meet them we shall
endeavor TO touch uron some of the
most startling.
In the suits for formal evening wear
there is now a conception showing ivory
buttons instead of the conventional silk
covered buttons. This suit is made Of
oxford grey material. There are also
effects in this same garment shown in
black or blue herringbone fabric and
the iapels are faced with black silk of
the same herringbone design. Another
dress suit is shown in dark green IN
finished worsted. in the dinner coats
there are some very radical departures.
One is noteworthy from the fact that it
has an extremely long shawl collar with
but one button Some Of these are in
black and some in oxford grey. Another
dinner coat has a notched collar with
the two-button effect Still another. is
deliberately trimmed with soutache braid
along the outer edge of the black silk
lapel facing. In the ordinary business

ordinary day suits, there is a new model
of sack coat made without any pockets
at all. 1t Is close fitting and has a de-
cided dip in the front 1t is made fly
front and when buttoned looks very odd
from the fact that no buttons are seen
on it at all. Another sack suit is made
with q shawl collar, has no breast pocket
and the side pockets are slashed verti-
calIy 1t is further ornamented with
most elaborate cuff. Another business

cut that the stripes on the collar and
lapel SO a eet with stripes on the coat
as TO m it look as IL II were all cut
in one piece. In the back of the collar
the stripes run horizontally around the
neck. Another striped effect in a coat
shows its singularity. especially on the
cuff. In this model stripes are cut from
the clcib, the sleeves are slit through
so that these stripes can be latticed
right through the cuff. This coat has
a shave collar and the pockets are
slashed vertically. Still another odd suit
model that is entirely too fanciful TO
conform with good taste is one in which
the pockets are deliberately strapped, the

- In the women's styles this

the correct idea. IT is true that in some
quarters out-of-the-ordinary styles will

not necessarily indicate bad taste, as
much as singularity in preferment for
the unique. but the man who simply
wants proper clothes in conformity with

self to only such departures from the
conventional as variations In length of
garments, shaping of lapels, collars and
cuffs, and these he will leave to his
clothieF or tailor. For the past two
