When the Blind See.

A woman in Columbus, O., recently
regained her sight after four years of
blindness. Iler first remark was,
What awful frights women are MAX
ing of themselves in the new styles!"
1t is not OF record whether it was the
llol,ble skirt or the modern hat that
caused the exclamation. Perhaps it
was u combination Of both. However
that may be. the remark throws a
revealing light IN the foibles of fash
ion. We had grown so accustomed to
certain eccentricities of modern dress
that we had ceased to he shocked. This
woman was like u visitor from another
planet. She came fresh upon the scene,
and her impressions were first hand
and original. She saw that to which
we had become at least partially blind.
The things about modern dress that
shocked this woman were not native to
America. They were importations.
They were designed in Paris and were
brought to this country for CONNER
cial purposes. They came from a deca-
dent and degenerate taste and were
taken up by a people that should be
neither decadent nor degenerate. These
styles are exotics. They do not be-
long to us. They are not beautiful.
They are not appropriate. They are
not in good taste. Why do we submit
to them? Why do we not contrive our
own fashions so that they will be more
In keeping with our ideals and our
life? Why?
The only way to stop these absurd
importations is for people who do not
approve them to speak out. Already
there is a well defined movement
against them. Let the question be
taken up by the press. the school and
the pulpit. The Paris monstrosities

It may surprise many people to learn
that Mississippi has the largest num-
her of Berkshire breeders Of any state
IN the Union. yet such is the case. ac-
cording to a statistical map recently
published by the Berkshire World.
Mississippi has 341 breeders Of Berk-
shire swine and stands first. Other
states follow in this order: Tennessee.

There is little room for a pessimist
in this time or cline. A certain amount
OF discomfort is Il good thing for any

not good for either a nation or an in
dividual.
Whatever party labels our tempo
rary rulers happen to wear, the men
underneath the labels are Americans,

this is optimistic. constructive and
