 Perhaps there is little risk in these pro- ceedings. But what of the girl whose parents have made sacrifices to give her college training? In the first case there may be nothing worse than the humilia- ton of spat with the folks at home, or not even that. In the latter case there is likely to be deeper hurt, one very hard to heal. In either case it may easily prove the beginning of a selfish and de- ceitful life, which in the years of welded interdependence may spell the final dis aster.
 How much more Is debt a horrible pit of miry clay for the wage earning girl or boy who is trying to make a start In business experiencesl I am inclined to doubt whether even here the girl is at the grester disadvantage. It is easy to foresee what dire forms her Humiliation inevitably approaching, may take, and We assume that the boy can safely run greater risks. But if we look closer and escape our conventional thinking we shall see that the essence of the misery will be almost identical in the two cases, as the cause of temptation is identical

Speeches to Order

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
 A little. quiet book lined office in the heart of the West End of London 10 occupied by a gentleman who is pre- pared to turn out speeches for all oc- casions. During recent interview the speechmaker-in-ch remarked that while speeches have often been written by others than those who deliver them, he thinks his Is the first attempt to concentrate the supply and to establish the new profession of gentleman speechmaker.
 T am as ready with an after dinner speech as any other" he said. They can be bright or serious. as required. and I have already prepared good many speeches which have been deliv- cred with success in different parts of the country. Impromptus' are a spe- cialty.

pending weakness of old age. But let that pass
 Turning to the other side Of things, the perishables for whose purchase young hearts so thoughtlessly incur debt, to be dunned and annoyed and thwarted in the weeks and months to come, the presence of haunting tragedy is not far to seek.
 l. There Is the tragedy of undiseiplined desires You see a thing, want 1t, de- termne that others have it and that you must, and fall yourself by the first whiff of these desires But the highest value of life is precisely in controlling desire. Not to learn discipline is to learn noth- ing. Not to obtain self control. mastery of desire is to be a jocky whose horse never starts and never passes the win ming post, but is always running away.
 ?. Hard upon the heels of undisciplined desires comes the specter of self con- tempt. 1t Is the contempt that drunk ard or an opium fiend feels for himself, after many a broken pledge and after the last humilniation. Why did ] do that? Why was I such fool as to incur that obligation? But what else could I do? I needed the thing But how much better

The difference is that the cooks dress will wear out and lose value, whereas that of the bishops investment will perhaps increase

on a deeply mortgaged future. That may work out safely where securities are con servatively handled. But in the private lives of our young peonle the only safe rule is. Save your money and owe no man anything Live within your income when 1t Is small or you will never live within your income. Better die than be in debt. Better go shabby than go in debt Unless you know how to meet . bill do not dare to promise the payment. When in debt get out as fast as possible.
 most valued friend draws my atten- uon to the fact that the modern habit of anticipating the future has hold even upon the churches. Their young people of little income are asked to pledge their earnings of coming months. or even ai- lowed to go in debt for means to serve the church. If that Is so the church is in league with the powers that drag men down to sheol. There Is use of money, and it's greatest use is the discipline it affords, the self-mastery that may be achieved in handling it. And beyond that. the crowning mastery spares of ones own belongings for the comfort of the less fortunate brother. But 1t Is safe to say that this mastery Is never won ex- cept in early manhood and womanhood.

 To all of us this was a matter of sincere

 "The White Company is a story of England and France at the time of the Plantagenets. A whole lot of fight ing composes perhaps the bulk of the
 narrative, but stories of Plantagenet

 L.oring Is not especially interesting, and the account of its progress over
 stony ways would keep few awake at

 account of the tournament at Ashby- |de-la-Zouche to be found in Ivanhoe our ears have often caught the clank
 of mail and the din of combat; our eyes have often seen the glitter of pomp and pageantry; we have been sur feited with descriptions of feats of archery; the splintering of lance against visor and the clang of sword

 With "The White Company it is
 the telling and not the story itself

RECORD SET BY BUILDING
The New Equitable Will Be Heaviest
 Structure on Eearth

The Equitable building, now in course of erection in this city, presents, because of its great area, an interesting problem in heavy erection. According to the En- gineering News. 1t will be the heaviest office building in the world when finished. The steel erection was made especially difficult it says by extensive cross-lot timber bracng, which will hald the base ment retaining wall until sufficient steel work has been installed to take the load. It was necessary to set the derricks and with them erect the steel work for the three stories underground. all without damage to the cross-lot bracing.
 The new building will be about 16O by s12 feet in plan and about 50o feet above the street. Tbe lowest point VIII be 60 feet below the street level It is con- sldered a S6-story building, but there will be intermediate floors at the third and S4th floor levels, which will actually make 3S floor levels. The elevators, stairways. lavatories, smoke stack and similar eutil- ities will be placed in the center, or core. of the building. All of the offices will have exterior exposure.
 The steel work of the building was erected to the second floor by six heavy steel guy derricks, fwth 76 foot masts and 65-foot booms. The heaviest column erect ed weighed 32 tons. Above the second floor the heaviest piece handled weighed about 16 tons, and 15-ton derricks with 9o0-foot masts and S5-foot booms replaced thesix originally in use. The longer reach of these lighter derricks rendered them much more useful in handling ma terial from the street.

 The original White companys field was that of battle and pillage. It's members lived upon that which they could take with their good swords and trusty bows of yewwood In times of declared war they served faithfully him whose shilling they took but the hope of city's sack or the ransom of prisoners of importance was always uppermost in their minds The modern organization is built upon different lines. To have read "The White Com pany' frequently enough to have be- come actually saturated with it's hu- nor and its drollery is a sign of good fellowship and the number who be- long Is astonishing. Present day White companies are recruited from ev- cry walk in life and from every cline where the English tongue is spoken.
 Nothing was new under the sun that shone upon "The White Company" Not character, hardly an incident. in the book can be regarded as unique. If Dr. Doyle was indebted to his reading of the doings of Zadig the Babylonian, and M. August Dupin for his concep- ton of the character of Sherlock Holmes, also he Is under obligation to writers of former days for most of the scenes of "The White Company" But this is no Encouragement. The book speaks for itself. If anyone doesn't like it. he will not be denied the privi- lege of attempting improvement
 Admirers of "The White Company" are not sorry that Dr. Doyle has not turned out other volumes of similar color.

 knew all about the things that the rest

 For a time all was most joyous. But our ship of cheer and comradely inter-
 course was drifting upon an uncharted
 rock. One of the group happened to re- mark upon an incident occurring at the Pied Merlin. He was answered accord ing to the trick and in an instant four
 of us were spouting passages from Doyle's s
 wonderful work. Our learned friend sev-
 eral times attempted to re-enter the con versation. He had an ingenious theory concerning the true cause of Chatterton' s
 untimely death, and knew the real reason
 why McPherson had contended that "Os- sian was translation. He was listened to with respect, but without interest. Again he sought to fix our wandering
