E7E DESIRE. before II goes
INV any further. TO get on
record on this leather
coat craze,
- Ana more particularly
DO we desire 10 rave anent the
near leather coit thing.
Aviators. during the war. dis
covered the leather coat.
And the leather vest made from
the old gloves OF the patriotic.
But after the war some idle head
started the fad of the leather coat
for autoing.
1t was hot. unvcntllated. un-
comfortable, costly rig. but II
looked unusual. hence CLASSY"
Then autolsts took to wearing
the coats for the street
Then some other slark-wit seized
on the leather coat and began TO
wear IL every day regular. wear IL
on the sunny side OF the street. on
an August day.
Just because II was supposed TO
be classy. and cost money.
That was bad enough; bad taste,
waste of money; bu, now they
have the imitation leather coats
out. and everybody Is doing IL.
An imitation vuigarity; truly. de
votion to fashion can go no fur
ther.
Last evening. on Third ave. we
saw a poor girl who thought she
was dressed UP.
She was going TO a movie or
something. and had on light shoes.
summer hat. thin stockings, OF
course; a flimsy evening gown OF
. some sort. and, over and aheve II
all. she had on a new, shiny, glis-
fening imitation leather coat of
dirty olive drab tone.
A coat that looked considerable
ike the oilcloth did in the log.
ging camp eating room after a
long. hard winter.
An ugly. cheap. uncomfortable
blob OF "A thing; and she, poor crea-
ture, imagined she was dressed up.
because II was near-leather, and
everybody was doing IL.
Sometimes we despair of the hui
man race entirely.

bad lot, but. as you say, there may be
no reason why this little animal should
suffer for his sins. The mother was
decent, and there may be something in
that idea of a vicariOuS restitution.
I'll agree, Wallace, if you'll let me take
over the charge of her till the wars

Donald Hankey, the student In
arms, who, whilst he found death In
the trenches also found life, and
found it more abundantly than here
tofote, says of young man who had
voluntarily forsaken the getting OF a
livirg in some civilian occupation for
the life of a soldier: 'He was learn
ing one of the great truths Of life, a
truth that so many fail to learn
that 1t is not in isolation but as n
member of q body that man finds
his fullest self-expression; that it Is
rot in self-assertion nut in self-sub-
ordination, not as an individual but us
one of many brethren, sons OF one
father, that a man finds the complete
satisfaction of his instincts, and the
highest form of liberty"
