SHOPPING COMMANDMENTS

This is the season of the Christmas
shopper 1t is the one season of the
year when advice, whether good or
bad, is eagerly sought, for the average
shopper is in quandary about things
to buy.
Here are ten commandments on
shopping that may be found worth
while At any rate, they are worth
reading;
/. Don't make a ceremony of Civ
ing but leave that to those who re-
ceive.
9. Don't lose sight of the fact that
there is someone who expects sur
prise from you Christmas morning.
3. Don't try to figure your gifts
on the basis of what you expect to
get yourself.
A. Don't give to somebody this
Christmas something that you your
self received last Christmas
s. Don't overlook the fact that a
useful gift is daily reminder Of the
giver.
6. Don't bestow all your gifts up
on the well-to-do. Remember the
poor
z. Don't select the commonplace
and the obvious, but seek the unique
and unexpected.
8. Don't neglect the solid silver of
old friendships for the fragile china
of new favorites.
8. Don't let Christmas pass with
out shedding happiness in the heart
of a child.
10. And don't forget your mother
and your father.

they had almost sufIicated her. How
much happier she would be to have

me to tour Europe. It's a great

She was nervous when the maid

was lots of money to buy more. She
was naturally careful housekeeper,

late or else she was one Of the rare
kind who couldn't spend it, Very
rare, but not at all pleasant.
When she went to shows she fell
asleep. She longed to dust behind
corners and under the rungs Of chairs,
She loved to bake a good cake.
But prosperity was hers, and she
didn't want to let Louis know how
hard it was for her to be prosperous,
He came in this time when Mrs
Louis was sitting stringing corn for
the little tree she had bought. 1t was

Louis was very evidently excited.
He asked his wife to come into the

Agnes Allen said. And as she was
alone in her room, and as no one
could hear her, naturally there was no
answer to the statement which she
had repeated several times.
She was speaking Of George Far
well. George was SO good looking
with his wonderful blue eyes, his Won
derful brown hair, his fine erect hg-
ure.
, Wherever she saw men she thought
how insignificant they looked beside
George. She was glad that she
thought that way. She hoped Others
thought that way about the men they
cared for. Then everything would be
so smoothe and so simple.

I George immensely. But it would be
embarrassing if everyone thought the
same about him as she did.
The wedding was to be Christmas
afternoon. Then they had planned to
go to their own new little home which
they had just finished furnishing and
fixing up. They were going to have
their own litde Christmas tree there
quite by themselves, and their
friends had left their wedding pre-
sents and Christmas presents there,
though almost all of the former had
been seen, of course.

But She had taken longer than she
had thought. Yes, if she didn't hurry
she would be late! Still she would

wonderful it would be! She wondered
if that was why brides were so often
late because they felt they had so

A Dream of the Future.
minneapolis Journal)


With hard roads connecting all
points, on which roll rubber shod
vehicles; with industry gone out into
the country and cities becoming
veritable garden towns; with air
transportation a commonplace; with
the abundant water powers pene-
trating our. dwellings, and operating
our railways-What a new state of
things will be here by 1915, say, a
state as different from our present
one, as this is from that of thirty
years ago
The United Sttaes, virtually a con-
tinental area, has become a physical
as well as political integer. Be
cause through this vast area no lines
of separation marked by custom
houses or other restrictions run. 1t
has developed unobstructedly along
the lines of kinetic possibilities. And
the least part of the possibilities has
been realized as yet. Our area may
be made the garden of the world, the
super factory. and this not in a way
to diminish human happiness, as the
nineteenth Century economic devel-
opnlent largely did, but to promote
human contentment.

Monday evening a concert was Civ

The Alumni Council itself met at

held at Chase Hall for the election of
officers and alumni nominees to the
board of overseers of the college.
Justice Scott Wilson, '92, of the
Maine Supreme Court, is president of
the association. One of the import
ant matters considered was the
amending of the bylaws to accept the
authority given by act Of the last
Legislature to accept as members of
the association former students Of the
college who for one reason or another
did not graduate.
The act of Legislature limits such
memberships to those who have not
received degrees from other colleges.
as it was felt that those who left
Bates to graduate from other colleges
would not desire to become members
OF the Bates association.
There are, however, a considerable
number who were compelled to leave
college for financial reasons or be-
cause of ill-health. whose loyalty to
the college is as great as that Of any

Donlin at Denver
(Boston Herald

(BOSIOn 1eTdiu)
The New York World prints in full
the important and striking speech
made at the annual meeting of the
building trades department of the
American Federation of Labor at
Denver by it's president John Fl. DON
lin of Chicago. Bernard NJ. Baruch
went on record two years ago as to
Donlin's ability to think straight and
speak out, and that Denver speech
when read in its entirety justifies the
applause it received when the public
read it in part the day after it's deliv-
cry This labor leader for many years
worked as a plasterer and laid down
his trowel to become a labor official
some twenty years ago. In that
Denver address he said sor.e hard
things about the men who own and
manage great industries. But he
went on to do what rarely is done by
one who occupies such a position as
his: he pointed out to the men in his
department their duty not only to
their union, but to the community
and the nation Here his address was
full of such strong statements as
these:
we must excel in individual eff
cheney. Cost of production tells the
tale. America must be the greatest
industrial country in the world.
Wealth cannot be distributed un-
til it is produced, and the more we
produce, and the more efficiently we
produce, the richer we will be anu the
more one dollar will buy; the less we
produce. the dearer it will be and the
less we can buy.
Labor must be paid according to
American standards and labor must
produce accordingly. If the Amer
lean standard of wages prevails a
standard of efficiency must prevail in
accordance.

ments of construction that we will

RESPECTING NEED OF THE
IDEAL

So long as commencement con-
tinues to be an institution in this
country people will find it difficult to
escape good advice tinctured with
idealism; not only the newly fledged
graduate is expected to deal in 1t
and rarely disappoints the expecta-
ton, but the college president as well
has his chance at the headlines,
and hasty reading of the reports of
the baccalaureates this year is suf-
flcient to convince the reader that it
is well to have the spring tonic of
idealism 50 administered.
In this country it never has been
because of lack of good advice that
we have stumbled and missed the
way, but because we have not needed
the good advice. No doubt that old
fault yet clings to u.s. Nevertheless
the giving Of the advice continues
and we are glad of it. 1t "reads
enough of burr on some Of the ideas
so they will cling to the conscious
ness through which they pass. We
know this has happened. We are not
yet through dealing with a people
long educated in the ideal that might
made right and a sorry mess the
world is in today because of it. A
false premise leads to a wrong con-
clusion, which there is no escaping
cnce the premise is accepted. A false
ideal leads into trouble as surely as
the will the-wisp leads into a
swamp.
The president of Harvard summed
up a good deal in this:
What we need now is not more or
ganiZation or more machinery, but
more thought; personal thought,
clear, farreaching and profound. as
unbiased and illumined, and, not
least, as widespread among our peo-
pie as possible
In attempting TO arrive at this sta
tus it will help a lot to have in mind ::
None of US liveth until himself and
none of us thinketh unto himself
and to recognize the spiritual essen
tial, expressed in these words of
President Stills of Bowdoin: mo
