The speaker, nn elderly man with a
fine, broad brow, hollow cheeks and an
angular frame. looked from the hotel
piazza toward the troop OF promenad-
ers In the afternoon parade at suri-
mer resort. The other man. quite his
opposite in every way except for the
intelligence and quizzical humOr of his
expression, was young. goOd-looking.

shoulder and limb. and fashionnbly
clothed. He smiled at the others COM
ment, but seemed to agree with him.
"Yes," he answered. that's just
about what they look like. Those
freakish. angular things with all kinds
OF astounding things for decorations.
they call hats: those furs muffled up
to their ears. with mercury in the
eighties. and skirts far, far above the
ankles! What will they say some years
from now when they look at the pic
lures Of this period? Scottl I'd give
something to be able to hear what they
will say"
''They will say" rejoined Arthur
Rankin. that 1t was only an excep-

Bailey.

"Now there. for instance, that girl
with the dark blue skirt that comes
down to her feet-the one with the
white waist and straw hat"
"Yes, see," snid Rankin.
II saw her around the hotel the first
time yesterday. She doesn't seem to
care nickel that she's back some
years from the reigning styles; but l
don't suppose there's man here that
would take her out anywhere"
The elder man looked ut him curl
ously. They had only met about half
an hour before. they did not even know
each others names. but had spoken as
men will on hotel piazza when both
are smokers, and one wants q light.

are all like thatT"
"Tm afraid they are"
"But you-you have just said you'd
like to know that kind of a girl"
II would"
"But you wouldn't take her out any.

The young man stared at him In q
perplexed way. He suddenly found
himself confronted with a problem he
had not thought about.
'Well." he hedged. "well-l don't
know" Then. rs though seeing he
must be honest. mo. don't suppose
I would"
II thought not. There, you see, is
the whole rotten sham of the entire
fool business they call society,"" He
spoke emphatically, and looked the
younger man squarely In the face. .Its
q sorry time for the young people of
this day when the whole social fabric
has to be built on such poor, wobbly
thing as clothes"
II wouldn't go quite as far as that"
protested Bailey.
II wouldn't have gone that far be-

SCHOOL NOTES

The Monday morning assembly was addressed by Mir Weigle. the U. S. forester, who gave one of the most in teresting and instructive lectures of the year.
 The object of Mir Weigle's lecture was to familiarize the children with the evergreens of Alaska, of which there are only about nine different spe- cies, namely, Sitka Spruce, Western and Black Hemlocks, Red and Yellow Cedars, LOdgepole Pine, Amabilis Fir, Dwarf Juniper, and Western Yew. It is Mr Weigle's belief that every child as well as evey adult of Alaska should know the native trees and be able to identify them in the woods. He dem onstrated that this was not difficult to do by placing sufficient samples of the twigs, cones and the wood of the diff feent trees before the students so that each one might examine them first hand while he pointed out the dis tinguishing characteristics of each.
 Arrangements are now being made for field trip conducted by M Wei gle to continue the interesting study of "Dendrology."
 The Seniors, Martha Foosness and Edgar Anderson, are beginning to re- alize that it is no snap" to get a de gree as they burn the midnight oil over their gaduation orations.
