Let WOn,en's
Dress Alone

NYOW come the Dartmouth stu
IN dents. In their invitation to
young women ITO attend the
winter carnival at Hanover they sug-
gest that warm clothing be worn.
The invitation ends with this bit of
pleasantly:
We wish you to look pretty and
warm, not expensive and cold.
It is solicitous, boyish and anus
ing. The only trouble with it is
that it falls in line with what seems
to have become fashion in this
country, viz: an epidemic of mascu-
line effort to reform feminine ap-
parel.
Why not let the women alonei
They know what to wear. If they
go to the North Pole they know
that it is cold there. And if they
choose to equip themselves with silk
stockings and low-cut waists you
may be sure that the majority of
Eskimos and Polar bears prefer silk
stockings and low-cut waists.
Selection Of dress is not only the
heritage of all women from their
Mother Eve, but it is both a science
and an art developed by centuries
of experience.
If ever you should worry about
the i'll effects of scanty clothing in
cold climate, just try to remember
how many times you ever heard Of
a young, extensively clad girl dying
of exposure. A theatrical manager
in fur-lined overcoat is more apt
to catch cold or pneumonia on a
wintry day than the most scantily
clad soubrette in his employ.
And a word to the girls:
Oh, girls! Whether you be ma
irons or chickens. Here is tip
for you.
If man asks you why you wear
silk stockings, ask him why he wears
stiff, white collar that presses
against nerves, artery and veins.
If he asks you why you wear such
a short skirt, ask him why he wears
such a stiff hat.
If he asks you why you expose
your chest, ask him why he wraps
a muffler around his neck, or why
he squeezes q belt around his
stomach, or why he wears a vest, or
a necktie.
If he should be honest and tell
you that vanity impels him to make
himself as attractive as possible,
give him the ha-ha! For in that
game you can give him cards,
spades, big and little casino and
beat him to a FRAGILE.

ReUards and
Punishments
I OF apropos Of anything in par
ticular, not with the intention
IF draw;no any dafinita moral

IL ticular, not with the intention
of drawing any definite moral,
we call attention to the recent tri-
umphal tour of Marshal Foch
throughout the United States and
compare it with the death Of Major
Whittlesey, who jumped off the
boat into the dark waters and into
the beyond.
Both were good soldiers. Both
were heroes.
And for that matter, SO also was
the unknown soldier who sleeps in
, Arlington, and many another un-
known soldier whose body was
blown to pieces in the trenches.
In the one case, however, the hero
received, in this world, nothing but
such fate as we think suitable for
criminals. He was executed by the
instrument Of war. In many cases
he was horribly mutilated and left
to linger on in suffering.
Marshal Foch in his tour across
the continent of America received
J, twenty-nine LII. DIS, one D. H.,
thirty-eight medals, and more than
fifty diplomas. 1t required six large
packing cases to carry home his
, miscellany of gifts. Among other
things, the great general took back
with him a wild cat, an Iowa prize
hog, and unique collection Of In
I dian pipes. lt.~
! At least, we can conclude this
that those who think that we get our
suitable rewards and punishments
in this world are mistaken.
And the above illustrations show
why it is that we believe in life
beyond the grave. We simply have
to. We know that if this life were
all, then the universe is unjust and
even outrageous.
And this calls attention to a truth
that good many people do not
seem to understand, and that is that
moral convictions are based upon
the injustice Of the world, and not
upon its justice. 1t is difficult,
therefore, to appeal to the moral
sentiments Of people in any other
way than by pointing to wrongs
that are done. .........
It is because this world is so awry,
it is because the prizes are so un-
equally distributed here below, that
we are absolutely compelled by our
internal sense of moral fitness to
believe that there is another world
in which things shall be evened up
q bit.
It is hard to conceive how any
man can continue to be sane, it is
impossible to conceive how he can
continue to be good, unless he be-
lieves in another life. -. ..

try.
Spain minated many months ago
that she would no longer accord most
favored privileges to Iceland in the
expectation of fish to Spain unless Ice
land would permit Spain to sell her
wine in Iceland. A resolution was in
troduced in Congress and the United
States Senate protesting against this
arbitrary use of power on the part of
one nation to control the internal poll
icy of another nation by means of
boycott.
"This incident shows what nation
dominated by liquor will do in order
