New Tailored Suits

1t seems the fashion authorities had
the young folk particularly in mind
when they styled tailored suits this
Spring. Certainly tailored suits as
we have gathered for Juniors were
never quite so charming.
There is a youthfulness in the fab
lies; it's in the lines of quaint little
coats and draped and ruffled and
belted and plain. The belts are usually

noticed the exhibition, and there was
a mild jeer-nothing more.
But there MIGHT have been some
thing more. Is there not danger that
there will be something more one
distant day If the rich and idle treat
the poor and industrious wirn such
supercilious scorn?
The thread linking these diverse
happenings may not be apparent.
But the thread is there, / think.
What ! see in the incidents is that
it behooves the strong to realize the
weakness of mankind, that the strong
are not SO very strong, that there is
very little difference between the
surge and the urge of life in one
class and another, that those who
carry too high heads and persist in
demonstrations of affected superior
fly are apt to court their own undo
ing at the hands of those they de-
splse.
