Fashion and Good Taste.

II is very foolish and betrays what
a small mind we have, to allow fash
ion to sway us in. everything that re-
CARDS taste; in our way of living, our
health and our conscience. To
have hobby is not to have a taste
for what is good and beautiful, but for
what is rare and singular and for
what no one else can match; it is not
to like things which are perfect, but
those which are most sought after and
fashionable 1t is not an amusement
but a passion; and often so violent
that in the meanness of its object it
yields only to love and ambition

The aNo.Rreakfasts Habit

The no-breakfast habit is harmless
enough, provided a hearty meal is
taken, not before going to bed, but
early in the evening. Late diners
have no need of breakfast" until
noontime. The French and other con-
tinental people discovered this ages
ago, and have thrived under it. Barring
the cup of coffee or chocolate, the late
dining Frenchman wants nothing to
eat until luncheon. But the habit of
avoiding early food and drink in this
stimulating climate when the physical
energies must be taxed during the
morning hours is one of those silly no
