VIII be good. Too many cigarettes
are bad for men--theres no doubt In
the world about that. And women
are supposed to have a more delicate
organic nervous system than men.
Then how about the new children
are they going to come into the world
satuated with tobacco, and, If they
are, is it going to be good for them?
OF course, you can't expect the av-
erage girl to think Of this, because
what she thinks of Is whether it is
going to be "the thing" or not. And
il it is she's going to smoke no mat
ter what it does to the coming gen.
GRAFTON.
Is it going to be "the thing" in Am
erica? Are We going to bring home
from Europe the European vices and
none of the European common sense?
| You don't find girls of 16 and 20
smoking in public in Europe-not
girls of good families. You don't find
them drinking, either, or listening to
questionable stories or talking with
strange men. But we Americans new
er do things by halves. Either we
belong to the w. c. T. u. and look
upon glass of wine as temptation
of the Evil One, or we take cocktails
with the whole family.
1t is the same with our theaters.
In Europe there are certain theaters
to which perfectly respectable mar
Tied people go, but no young girl Is
ever seen there.

they are going to do about it when
the girls come home from Europe
with all these strange new ideas, and
most Of all / wonder what our men
think about it.
Are the men changing as fast as
the women these days? Sometimes
wonder if they arn't--only the men
seem to be changing just the other
way,
know dozens of mn who used to
drink who won't even hear of a cock

every way than they were year ago.
But the girls
Are they more serious? It seems

new quadrille."
How much life is like one of the
old-fashioned country dances, after
all? No one figure can be danced all
the way through; oh, no, not for any
thing When the men grow gay, the
women become demure When the
men turn their thoughts to serious
things seriously--presto, change-all
the girls begin to curl their hair and
cast engaging looks upon the gar
lands Of gayety.

evenly balanced that way. Some day
maybe we'll all get used to 1.-THE

Ever to have believed those tales required only
phenomenal amount of creduity but ignorance
OF what human nature is everywhere.
1t Is not at all necessary consider the Ger
mans abnormaly wicked before feeling they have
an intense dislike for the humiliation imposed upon them
derry bieted in their houses exercising arbitrary
power over all their activities Nobody does help
hating to be in such situation, nobody anywhere
ever did could help transferring hatred from the
situation to those who it.
1t is perfectly natural quite inevitable therefore
that In writing letters they thought be
the people of Cobenz characterize masters as
the curse of their will removed from u.s. It
would be unreasonable resent expressions of

upon them sweetly talk to them suavely pretend to
be glad they there. Next will dsproof of the

LITTLE STORIES Of THE NATIONS

BY Albert Barrett Sayree =

they had at this time no regular names.
All the different kings called Themselves
Kings OF the Franks. much as in earlier
days there were several Roman ennperors
at one time. OF these various Kings OF
the Franks there was, however. always
one who vas emperor. Many held no
power over the other kings. but thus
the title and the claim to the power Of
the Emperor of Rome was kept alive to
trouble tho world.
In ss4 all the F,rankish kingdoms wsrs
Joined together under the Emperor
Charles the Fat. But within three years
all his kingdoms agreed to overthrow
him. and each chose king OF its own.
1t was these kingdoms that were now
formed which began to chow more near
ly than any before the real divisions of
nations and of languages.
From this time tho eastern and the
western Franks were never again united.
The word Francia hereafter held two
meanings. Tho eastern or Teutonic
Francia was tho old Frankish Land in
what Is now Germany. The western
Francia was the land between the
Loire and the Seine.
