",What makes you so certain?"
So one New York man said to an
other New York man this morn

known that man; he is as open
as they make them and out and
out, upright, and his word goes
without q shadow Of doubt with
everybody who knows him."
Upon such a foundation any
one can build up city, a bank,
a corporation and any kind Of
an undertaking requiring sin
cerity and probity as we'll as in

With such a character (not a
talent from birth) acquired from
principles, forming the springs
Of life, attained by all our young
men and women, what a country
America would be, what a power
of wealth it would be in every
State and all it's cities!
Such a reputation would be
worth more than a million to the
young people leaving the colleges
to take up their life work.
Money is not everything to a

Who Wants to be
a Pink Button
on a Card
When Girls Become Mere
Imitators They Lose
Personality and f.,
Individuality
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Girl of from IA to 20 are sup
posed to be the most enchanting
creatures in the, world.
Youth, innocence, femininity, all
in one. In many cases beauty and
charm can be added to the list From
the romantic point of view, oughtn't
these to spell perfection?
! feel no desire to disparage girl
hood, and for the moment | am not
interested in debating in whether
girlhood or maturity has the more
compelling charm. Indeed, am will
ing to concede to feminine youth
all that romance can claim for it.
short of perfection. / must protest
that even the loveliest young girls
have faults, and it is one of these
faults in particular that l want to
call attention to today.
The besettinig vice of girlhood is,
] believe. imitativeenss. Through
their passion to initiate each other,
to conform as closely as possible to
group patterns, girls often forfeit a
very large share of the charm with
which nature has endowed them.
Would you care to be one of a
row of shiny pink buttons on card?
Too many girls act as though this
were their ambition.
We are often amazed by the
strongly marked Municipalities
that children display. What be-
comes of these Municipalities? How
do they happen to disappear?
For the present I won't discuss
the case of boys. But we must all
have noticed that girls, as soon as
they begin to herd together, to
form groups and "sets" and
crowds" devote a large share of
their energy and resources to fol-
lowing the fashions of this group.
Borrowed Personalities.
Her way of walking, her move
ments in general, are no longer
spontaneous. They are an exact
imitation of those of other girls.
The phrases she uses in speaking,
indeed her voice itself, are borrow
ed in the same fashion.
You will no doubt admit that all
this TENDS to make a girl less in
teresting. But you may protest
that it shouldn't be taken too Sc
riously, that it's a mere passing
folly of a period of life when, after
all, folly is privileged.
So I'll press my point further.
! he INITIATIVE tendency isn't pure
ly harmless one.
For ole thing it leads young
girls who aren't under pretty close
parental control into unwise habits
of dress. You have seen it happen.
One girl wears skirts that are too
short and too Highland 50 do the

courtesy. My mental thermometer
had leaped from subnormal to a

CLINT of mockery in his eyes which

GREEN VALLEY. BY Katherine 10y.

GREEN VALLEY. BY Katherine Roy
nolds. Little, Brown 4 Co. u,so.
The story of Green Valley deals
principally with the romance of
Nanny Ainslce. whose father is =
world-famous diplomat; but since
life in the Valley is so neighborly,
so interlocked, so interdependent,
her romance is the outgrowth of and
provocative OF others. Never before
were the chronicles of a seemingly
quiet community related with more
sympathy and with more insight into
their dramatic value. Whether lite
in Green Valley is revealed in Fan
ny Fosters keen and witty gossip
or viewed with the sweet kindness
and wholesome philosophy of
Grandma Wentworth, it is a lively
and exciting affair.

A tale of the west, yes-but a

almost weird poetic fancy from the

The Paris constitutions of the

tangling alliance, not real league,
says the author. Mr.. Crozier's
book makes plea for the amend
ment of the league covenant so as
to set up a limited international
government, possessing power to
bind the nations to the league and
to regulate their conduct toward
each other on the subject of war.
The book contains a full analysis
of each of the 26 articles of the
league constitution read by Presi-
dent Wilson to the supreme peace
congress on February IA, 1919. The
document in its present form is de-
clared "unclear, vague, complicated
