Poor Mobiles of ltaiv.

Lecturing in London on an out-of-

an Englishman for $195.

To sum up this seasons new mil

that the head sizes are large; that the

the crowns are moderately high; that
the tailored hats are small, the dress

that the smartest hats have but lit

A buckle, for example, covered with

SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
Childish Mind, Cropping in Darkness,

Is Denied 1t.

Every trace of useful information
is carefully concealed from the very

most part answered 'humorously"
and hence incorrectly, or they are not
answered at all. This eternal "hu-
NOR" is most CALLING Of all. Why
should human infant be such an ir-
resistible joke? The lower animals
take their young seriously and train
them from the start with very deli
mite purpose in view. Yet their pos
sibilities are inffnitesimal as COM
pared with those of the average baby.
And we sit calmly by and enjoy the
''humor" of childhood and insist that
the child is enjoying itself also, even
though it's little soul may be thirsting
for information which is laughingly
denied it. And we continue to put
off the inevitable day when the child
will have to take life seriously and
