GENTILITY IN HUMBLE GARB
Rags and Tatters Proudly Worn by
the Famous Experimenters at
Brook Farm.

"Arcadians though we WERE" wrote
Hawthorne Of the Brooks farm expert
ment, "our costume bore no resem-
blance tt. the beribboned doublets, silk
breaches and stockings, and slippers
fastened with artificial roses that dis
tinguished the pastoral people or pO-
etry and the stage. In outward SHOW,
I humbly concede, we looked rath-
er like gang of beggars, or banditti,
than either a company of honest labor
Ing men or a cOnclave Of philosophers.
Whatever might be our points OF dill
ference, we all of us seemed to have
come to Blithedale with the one thrifty
and laudable idea of wearing out our
old clothes. Such garments as had an
airing whenever we strobe afield
Coats with high, collars and with no
collars; broad-skirted or swallow-tailed,
and with the waist at every point be-
tween the hip and armpit; pantaloons
of a dozen successive epochs, and
greatly defaced at the knees by the
humiliations of the wearer before his
Iady-Iove; in short, we were living
epitome Of defunct fashions, and the
very raggedest presentment or men
who had seen better days. 1t was gen
tility In tatters. We might have been
sworn comrades to Falstaff's ragged
regiment. Little skill as we. boosted
in other points of husbandry, every
mothers son of us would have served
admirably to stick up for scare

Birds Speed Deceptive.

An interesting check on some OF
those gunners who know their bird was
flying 100 miles an hour because they
had to lead him steen feet would be
to paint duck on long board at
the end Of an express train running
at say go miles an hour, and let the
gunner blaze away at the painted duck
at normal duck-shootlng ranges to
check up the speed of the painted bird,
with the 'lead" necessary to give the
charge to hit the wild duck alleged to
have gone 100 miles per. Neither train
nor long-winged honker gives q fair
idea of the actual speed, because they
are both large; the little bird often de-
ceives.

OpaIs and Pearls.

We suppose that those people who
call pearls clears" do so because both
are globular and limpid. 1t is sug.
gested by resemblance. The anclents
believed that pearls are formed OF
drops of dew that fall into the shells
Of the oysters at night. If the dew
was pure the pearls would be beauti-
full and clear; if impure, they would
be dull and muddy. We do not find
that the opal is considered unlucky.
In mottos made Of the first letter OF
gems it is used to spell good luck"
1t is also used to spell the word
"hOpe"

FEAST WORTHY OF THE NAME
Montenegrins Put Up Elaborate Spread
as Natural Part Of the We'd
ding Ceremony.

The feasts prepared by Monteneg-
rims when weddings are celebrated,
overshadow the most elaborate affairs
along that line in America, says Ed
ma Worthley Underwood, in transla-
ton of story. "Furor Illyricus," by
A. Won Vestendorf. Two serving maids
and the head of the house enter with
huge, four-cornered bottles. One little
drink and dried fig open the meal.
This is a custom to Danish the taste
Of cigarets. which are always in evil
dence. The heavy, thick, ink-black
wine of LISA is then poured, and the
diners choose their favOrite morsels
from plates, after which sugared eggs
are passed around. This is just the
beginning of the banquet, which is
followed by minestra, baked macaroni,
with hashee made from the entrails
of young lambs, fowl roasted in sugar,
small barboni baked in Oil, baked ink
fish with citron. pullets cooked with
fresh vegetables, and beef served on
huge platters. Wine flows in abund-
ance. and boisterous laughter and loud
talking prevail. The banquet is closed
with special dish, after champag ne
has been served. A roast lamb is
brought in on wooden platter. and
put near the lower end of the large
table. With lordly gesture the mas
ter of ceremonies steps forward, and
with large knife, ground as thin as
hair chops the lamb into four
pieces with two strokes. The women
continue to eat cakes and fruit, but
the men spend the remainder of the
time drinking.

REAPING THE WHIRLWINn

When the democratic national con
vention at San Francisco refused tc
put dry plank in its platform, re.
pudiated the leadership of Bryan
and allowed Murphy of New York
Taggart of Indiana and a group OF
eastern political bosses to name the
candidate for president, it sowed the
wind and in the election Tuesday the
democratic party reaped the whirl-
wind.
The rank and file of the party
were disguised with the work of the
convention in surrendering the lead
ership to the same reactionary group
which forced the nomination of AL
ton b. Parker in 1904 and silently
registered their protest Tuesday by
voting for the republican candi-
date.
Boss Murphy and his Tammany
cohorts once again proved their
trickery by giving the double cross
to the candidate whom they had
foisted upon the party.
After years of terrific fighting
Bryan made the party so really pro-
gressive that Wilson was elected
without the support of the big east
ern states which are naturally con-
servative and republican The vot-
ers of the west are progressive and
independent but they would not ac-
cept as a progressive any candidate
picked by Murphy, Taggart and poll
ticians of their ilk
Had the democrats incorporated
a dry plank in their platform and
nominated a proved progressive like
McAdoo or Senator Owen, they
would have appealed powerfully to
the women voters of the nation and
to the Independent voters of the
west and a different result might
have been registered.
II is fortunate that President
Harding will have a majority in the
senate and house to back his poll
cies. for there will now be no divid-
ed responsibility, and his program
can be given a fair trial.
Every patriotic American, regard
less of personal politics, will cheer
fully accept the decision of the ma
jority and extend best wishes for the
success of the new administration
