WHAT ABOUT THE FAT MANI

A ST Louis street car halts at a
downtown corner (some of them do
stop occasionally, and a man climbs
aboard. The conductor opens a thick
volume of rates and looks up the fare
to be paid.
Height, 6 feet inches; weight,
120 You're in class A, extra thin.
Your fare is l cent"
Had all the seats been occupied, the
conductor doubtless would have asked
the size of the patrons shoes to de-
termine how much floor space was
taken up.
This is looking into the future a
little. OF course they haven't carried
it that far yet, but start has been
made One noble defender of his
rights has discovered, after a month of
experimenting. that cents is enough
to pay when he stands up, and that
the usual nickel is required only
when he gets a seat. Moreover, he
has yet to be thrown off a car in de-
fense of the . cents.
Let us hope that this scheme will
be carried to its logical conclusion
Babies sitting on their mothers laps
pay no fares: a man sitting down
pays cents; a man standing pays
3 cents. Then can a man escape for
a cent and half by learning to ride
on one foot? And how about the fat
man who overfows into two seats?
Then, too, why could not the car
install galleries in its cars,
and thus sell cheaper seats? One
must admit that there are possibilities
n the new plan.

paper through the windshield of the
auto.
Whether the mans action was JUS
tilted remains for the court to decide,
but it is quite likely that the driver
of the motor car will have to pay a
fine for exceeding the speed limit.
Columbia has not as many automo-
biles as Kansas City. But the drivers
of many of the cars We do boast of are
just as anxious to "scorch" a little
as those in Kansas City. And the
automobile laws are not enforced here
as in Kansas City.
The trouble is more often with the
driver than the owner of the car He
can not resist that temptation to go
fast and then a little faster until he
is going entirely too fast. Time was
when the pedestrian was the all-impOr
tant person and vehicles had to make
way for him. Now he has to look out
for himself, and jump when he hears
an automobile horn.
Columbia has automobile regula- (
ions They should be enforced. !

THE NEW BOOKS
The Necessary Evil.

THE Necessary Evil" by Charles
Ram Kennedy is one-act play for
four persons. The, story of the play
centers around a girl of u whose
mother is dead. Her father has given
her little idea of what womanhood real
ly means. She receives this message
in a warning appeal from a woman of
the underworld.
The play is written from the same
general viewpoint as Kennedy's "The
Servant in the House" 1t is based
on modern social life, is philosophic
and rings with plea for purity. CHar-

REAL SAVING.

Conservation of our natural re-
sources must be paramount in the
minds of everyone before many peo-
pie who are back of the movement will
feel that they have done their duty
towards providing for coming genera
tions. But when this necessary saw
ing, or unnecessary as the case may
be, concerns clothes that we wear, one
stops to think how his posterity will
look when all these natural resources
have been used up.
Nevertheless, fashion designers have
set about TO save all the material
they can. They mean to have a front
seat in the Hall of Fame for having
looked forward to see that men and
women OF the future have clothes as
well as do those who are living now
Fashion makers have decided that all
cloth or leather that is not. in actual
use covering the body or holding the
stitches must be done away with.
Hence, the Mobile skirt, the no-sleeves
and no-neck and the absence of
petticoat No. for women. Ditto the
tight trousers, short coats and low
heel shoes for men.
This saving is a great thing-for
those of after years. But for those
who are here now it is different.
Walking for the girls is tiresome and
the average gait has fallen far be-
low the standard set by their mothers.
Now it takes a gxl as long to cross
a street as it did her mother TO walk
a block a few years back. Then this
absence OF cloth has aided the doc
tor lie is long for the new styles and
the conservation movement.
And the poor man. Tight trousers
have made it almost impossible to
have pockets big enough TO accom-
modate the few little things he wants
10 carry with him. They have even
brought into use the handbag. In Chi
cago the tailors are complaining that
the use OF the hand bag offsets the
good toward conservation of cloth. II
would have been just as well to have
made more room for pockets and saved
the waste on hand bags.
And our clothes are skinny just to
save goods for those who are to run
this old world after We are gone.

THE COST OF A TRIP ABROAD
Expense of European Travel Not Prohibitive
to the Man of Average Means
knowing the Ropes Helps.

is required from Columbia to New
York. From the city of Brussels, yor
can go in a few hours ride to many
of the most beautiful cities of thai
country. Antwerp is only about an
hours ride distant"
The expense of a trip to Europe also
depends a great deal upon the famil-
iarity of the traveller with the country
and with the people with whom he
must come in contact The guide book,
keen judgment and common sense are
of prime Importance in making the
trip inexpensive.
Thousands of persons will crowd the
transatlantic steamers this summer.
Among them will be the capitalist 60
ing to look after business interests
aboad; the university professor going
to study foreign customs and to visit
the tombs of ancient history; the
modiste, who will spend a month in
fashionable Paris; the college boy in
search of adventure; the dark-skinned
who was not admitted and
must return to his native land.
1t is not the cost that makes a trip
TO Europe impossible The college boy
without money but with plenty of
nerve and energy can feed steers on
board boat to pay his way. And the
immigrant finds ac-
to suit his means the
same as the millionaire. FIR.

Interpretation Of Piano Music.

Interpretation Of Piano Music.
Interpretation of Piano Music" by
Mary Venable, is a recent book which
should be of invaluable aid both to
piano instructors and pupils.
Every paragraph demands thought
and arouses musical feeling and appre-
citation of the musical examples cited
as illustrations. Not a sentence is
wasted-not word inaccurately ap-
piled.
This book will meet the demand of
teachers, advanced piano students and
cultured readers. 1t makes an appeal
to the teacher, as stating, for the first
time in print, many facts in artistic
piano playing used continually by art
lists, yet practically unknown to and
untaught by the ordinary musician.
The piano student will desire to be-
come familiar with the compositions
from which many examples are taken,
and will also find special value in such
Illuminating and original chapters as
"Bowing-Signs," "Phrasing" etc.
Cultured readers will enjoy the lit
erary excellence of the work-its fasci-
mating style, and the high idealism of
the author
The work is destined to become
classic, and the recognized authority in
the matter of which it treats. (Oliver
DitsOn Company, Boston, Mass.)
(This review was written by Mrs. w.
c. Gibbs of Columbia who studied un-
der Mary Venable.)
