 It is unnecessary to be able to tell the world that your grandfather was a Beau Brummel. or that your aunt led the first cotillon with the Prince of Wales, or that your fancy dress for the ball cost $1000. What you will have to tell in order to enter the se- lect society of the future in order to be fit for it is, What have you done yoUrGelf?"
 And this great society Is being drawn today from what has long been called the common crowd. those who suffer and bleed and die to make Mother Earth q better place in which to live.

 social leaders of today are drawing toward them men and women who are doing hings-scientiSt inVen- tors. artists and people who make for progress of peoples. and not mere money making.
 Even the social leaders themselves are going into all kinds of endeavor in which they can show some accom- pliShment besides merely motoring to parties and teas and wing with each other to reach so-called social heights.
 Much of this Is due to the war, and much of it is due to the development of the race itself. On the field of battle there is no social scale and the Attest survived. This generation learned d great lesson.
 Men and women are awakening to the realization that mere money making without some good accom- plished in the interest of mankind leaves one poor indeed. both in the social scale and in the matter of ac- complishment.

 The climber will be a different type. He will only reach the top by his own efforts rather than by legacy or in

 Again she laughed, and this time with so much merriment that the sound was borne to the ears of a man who sat at the other end of the veranda. He glanced around.
 His back had been toward the young couple, and Winifred's back was towards him. Rankin, however, was facing him and he started slightly as he saw the older mans face.
 Who was he?
 Then, in flash, Richard re- membered. The man was Donald Muir. Rankin had met him but once but the clearly cut features, the well-shaped head, had impressed him.
 Only for an instant did Muir look at Rankin, then he turned and ad- dressed himself to his companion

Still another tells how she ripped up her new clothes and made them all over again be- cause she felt that she would go crazy unless she could find some thnig to occupy her mind and hands This homesickness is an experience with which men have curiously little patience, and sympathy.

 Of course. 1t hurts a mans vanity to find out that he Is not all-in-all to his new wife. and it makes him jeal- ous to know that she pines for those she has left behind her.

 The restaurant to which Winifred ordered her chauffeur to drive was one to which her father had brought her upon several occasions when he had gone to Miss Halls school to give his daughter an outing.
