one yearns to have thought of first.
And its bearing on a fashion is that
the woman who wears the smart clothes
of today warrants that phrase 1t is a
question argued in the drawing room
and on the turf. as TO whether women
are really pretty any more. 1t is a singu-
lar fact that women like their appear

can Sc that in the way they admire

realized the immense possibility of dress
from an artistic standpoint. IT has been
hard work this winning of the artists
And as for mere prettness-wen, ideas

Who can tell? 1t may be deep under

these other currents that are sweeping

think il is a serious and deep-lying
change which has to do with a revolu-

the sex-it is omnipresent and of vast

No one who is sane and sound could
hold with the argument that much of
this change Is for the better. Even the
ardent admirer of the modern type must
admit that she is often ugly without
provocativeness. In all revolutions there

To watch her at play, this modern
woman gives an impression of childlike
abandon in her curious clothes. There
does not seem to be anything vicious
in IL. One is seriously impressed with
this phase of her life after arriving fresh

children; it is the spirit OF youth, that's

Possibly this is the reason the Americans

DELIVERS ADDRESS
TO GRADUATES

Sunday evening, at the Christian
church, Rev. II. +, Bolton delivered
the class sermon to the graduates of
the Liberal High school. Rev.
Ware, of the Methodist church as
sisted and the choir of high school
students, under the direction of Miss
Mary Beecher gave some ex-
cellent selections The church was
filled long before the hour for be-
ginning. The class color, purple and
white, we're used to designate the
block OF seats reserved for the seniors;
pink and yellow, the Junior colors
were used to reserve the section for
the 1914 class Junior girls acted as
ushers. Rev. Bolton selected for his
discourse, Life" and centered his
thoughts on the declaration that
Life Is more than meat"
He always enjoyed the occasions
when he stood before a class Of young
people and what he had to say was for
them. There are eventful periods In
every life and this Is one OF them.
This subject is as old as time ITSELF,
but is always new. Two phases Of
the subject, present and future, or
visible and invisible were taken up.
Life Is a river and while you can't
change the current, you can gather
fruits and flowers that grow on either
side of the bank, One thing neces-
sary Is preparation and the first
thing Is the formation Of character,
the only capital we shall take into
the world beyond. Your success de-
pends on the use you make Of opp0r-
tunltles or life. The real purpose Of
life Is to develop manhood and wo-
man hood while making money. The
world needs more homes, where there
Is less shop talk and girls are in-
structed In the virtue Of home max
ing. Divorce Is the result Of lack Of
training and respect for homes.
The first duty Is to make q man
or woman Of yourselves, to elevate
and make higher womanhood and
manhood to make for those who
come after a more blessed inheri-
tance. 1t is not strange that young
men rush to the cities. We are ar
lists and are painting our own pic
lures furnishing material and ar
rangement. The passing OF 5he High
school Is the close Of technical know
ledge; but not the end OF attainment.
You have but tasted of the waters OF
knowledge and power and it Is your
privilege not only TO complete the
building but to erect a temple upon
which the Master Mechanic will look
and decide upon the completed struc-
ture. No one should be satisfied
with less than the very best that one
can do. Whatever you do, "Do it
heartily, as unto the Lord" While
making a living, one must develop
morally and spiritually. Remember,
the greatest science is home making
and home is the strength and fount
Of social purity.
