FRANKLIN KEPT HIS LAURELS
Appropriately, Apostle of Thrift Was
Allowed to Retain Ornaments for
Exceptional Time.

New York, the Sun of that city
states, is one place where there are al
most laurels enough to go around. 1t
is the custom of the city to be gener-
GUS with them, but they never last.
Three days is about the limit.
That is, three days marks about the
length of time when the crowd will en-
dure the sight of Them on the living
After that they view them with amuse-
ment. But when hung on a bronze
or marble statue by common consent
and the custom of the park department
they are given thirty days.
Benjamin Franklin was permitted to
keep his last crop of laurels longer
than most statues. Although it was
by reason of his very many illustri-
GUS qualities that his statue became a
landmark in Park row, it was particu-
larly because of his position as the
patron saint of all those who hold
thrift as a cardinal virtue that he was
adorned some weeks ago with more
wreaths than any Hawaiian ever man.
aged to hang on himself.
He kept them, too, until they were
of absolutely no more use The day
they were put up people travelled
from all five borou.hs to gaze at the
bronze likeness of the publisher of
poor Richards Almanac'-that first
Of all the best sellers of America-and
10 consider their own sins or to con-
template their own virtues in the mat
ter of thrift But this week when they
were cut down no one paid the slight
est attention TO the two white wings"
who were climbing about the pedestal
jerking down the wreaths and singing
them on the pavement.

Why a nJumper7p

The word was originally Jump"
and is first met in 1915, as a Jacket
or loose coat reaching to the thighs. Z"
The dainty feminine garment of To-
day owes its pareltage to the shane
less. garment of coaise sacking some
times worn by ccal beavers or dock
laborerS. For this was the original
Jump" essentially a male garment
Of the most primitive type. Indeed
one Polar expedition records that il
found the Eskimos wearing these
Jumps or loose jackets.
In the seventeen hundreds "iumps"
became feminine, in the form of a
kind of loose stays, chiefly worn as a
sort of undresS.
Then, in the eighteen hundreds. the
admiralty took notice of the word
as a Jumper" Il is officially men
toned as one of the new rigs of
the lower deck.
From this curious ancestry has
evolved the jumper Of the girls Of to-.
day.
