What RESPONSIBILITY Does.

The saying runs that as soon as a
lieutenant is made a commander he be-
gins to carry a stick, and as soon as a
commander becomes a captain he
turns religious" For justification of
the latter part Of this assertion there
exists the undoubted fact that naval
captains are mostly serious minded
men who give some thought to the
greater things of life. Possibly their
hours of loneliness may cOnduce to this
frame of mind, though for the most
part their leisure hours are given up to
study of matters connected with their
calling. One well-known captain there
was who used to hold prayer meetings,
which any member of the ships COM
pany could attend. Remember there
are no rates to be picked up here" the
captain would warn them before the
meetings started meaning that any
one who came there hoping to curry
favor and thus get promotion would
be disappointed. And in this the cap
tain was always as good as his word.

He Was Cured.

Once there was little boy who stole
sugar So strong was his craving for
sugar that half his mothers time was
Gaken up watching the sugar bowl.
One morning however, she filled big
tumbler full of sugar and gave it to
the little boy and told him to eat it all.
The boy took a spoon and started in.
He ate about a third of 1t before he
got enough. His mother insisted that
he eat some more-it was all his to
eat. and she'd box his ears if he didn't
eat It. She did box his ears and he
ate q little more, but presently he
sIipped the tumbler under his chair
and slipped out to play. When he
came back, though, the tumbler was
there waiting for him. He ate a little,
but It wasn't good. He said 1t twas
too sweet" Every day for a month
that tumbler was by his plate at the
table on n chair by his bedside, in the
closet with his playthings-every-
where he found that tumbler. The
flies swarmed about ii, and the ants
came. but still Ii was 'too sweet"
That tumbler never was finished up.
The boy is an old man now, and takes
his coffee straight. Gooseberry pie is
the ONLY kind he likes. All other kinds
are "too sweet."-Kansas City Star.

He managed this successfully for
some time, but one Sunday he failed
to rouse an old woman, well-knOwn
innkeeper in the parish. At length,
just as he was about to yield, bright
idea struck him.
'I'H waken her this time" he ex'

"Anither pint here, Janet!" whereupOn
the good old innkeeper started up and
replied Coming, sir; coming!"

feminine costunery is the basis Of ev-
cry fashion that comes and goes.
The world Of Clothes has just ex-'
perienced mad revival in medieval
Ism. Women Of every weight, age and
curve have adopted the gowns of
Queen Guineyere and Melisond.
Such garments have been cut by
the hundred, in block, and they have
been worn in all the market places Of
the civilized world for two years. The
splendid, sweeping robes in which
Guinevere met Launcelot have served,
when modified, to carry Mary Jano
to the department store to buy bar

The swinging sleeves, the loose, jew.

widths of deeply colorcd velvet worn

what are the uses Of history" say
the designers, IF not to turl it into
present use!' And so, over and over,
the world OF apparel greets the rising
Of the medieval sun, season after see
son, decade after decade.
The medievaiism of the day need
not reflect the twelfth century Of the
early Britons. Il can go back into
the days Of the Byzartium. and it can
reflect the colorful glory of Italy I'M
der the birth of the Renaissance. Ev-
cry page in history suggests whole
field Of costumery to the designer who
reads it Alright. No wonder that we
continue to wear the clothes which
covered the women of those centuries!
The Napoleonic period is as deeply
Impressed on the minds Of the design
ers. There was nothing medieval
about French cOsturaery throughout the
reign of the supermal, but there were:
SO many eccentricities, such vast
variety Of beautiful lines and curves,
10 much glowing narrative and tragic
romance attached to the sweep of a
| skirt and the flow OF sleeve, that the
dressmakers slevar get away from
those pages Of cOstl.nery.
NapoIeonic Again Threatens.
Today we are again threatened with
the Napoleonic. We are almost stated
with medievalism. The Directoire
beckons; the First empire allures.
The madness Of Nine. Tallien will not
be repeated today, unless France is
suddenly assured Of victory, when, if
history repeats itself, she may go quite
mad again for a short time, through
the costumery Of her women.
In this glow of feeling toward the
Napoleonic period we are not even
averse to the laced bodice and the
gathered skirt Of those "citOyennes''
who wrecked the Tuileries and par
celed among them the fincry Of the
Austrian.
Already the cclored cotton bodice
laced with cords, instead Of fastened,
has come into being. The Liberty cap
is being brought out by the milliners
in modern form which is still the
symbol equality and fra ternity.
The high waistline and the long
skirt that droops in a simple line from
bust to ankle have been introduced by
powerful designers. who have usually
