A STRIKING COMPLIMENT

A woman ninety-four years old has
remarked that "Thc bobbed- hair flap
pers of today are prettier than the
girls of years ago" There would be
nothing remarkable about the COM
pliment to present day girls were it to
| come from a present day youth, for
stance; or were it to come from some
modern parent gazing upon the beau
ties of his or her own daughter. But
to have woman Of such an age make
the general statement about the girls
Of today, remembering as we dA that
1t is the tendency Of the elderly peo-
pie of the world to frown down upon
modern things and people, inspires
the remark that even though the
hobbed- haired girls of today may be
prettier than girls were years ago we
doubt If any of those bohbed- haired
ones would be able to make prettier
remark than did this old lady who is
at least getting along in years.
And here is the significant point.
Certainly our girls are pretty. Any
person--any man especially-wbo
passes along the street about the noon
hour will be able to testify to that
from his heart out" providing his bet
ter half is not present and providing
his better half is not one of the class
of which he raves. But it is to be
doubted seriously. If our present day
bobbed haired girls are cutivating
that graceful consideration of others
that splendid attitude of culture and
refinement which will remain with
them all through their lives, even up
TO the ninety-fourth year, to such an
extent that they will be able to then
view the girls of that day, sit back
and smile swcetly, adjusting, perhaps
the lace cap over the whitened hair,
and make a similar remark about the
young girls around them. Our girls to-
day, are pretty. May that beauty be
more than skin deep and may beauty
of thought be theirs, too.

Connecticut because of the extreme
variance between his action and that

he rs the peoples servant the pro-

might be slangily termed a Kicking
Bureau" in New York city where Mr..

tests of his constituency at regular

Imagine, if you can, such an office
instituted in Connecticut by one of
our representatives, senator or con-
gresham. IT requires some stretch of
the imagination, 1t is true. Hereto
fore, excepting for very brief per-
iod proceeding an election, and then
only when the candidates chances
were doubtful, our occupants of the
higher posts arc as attainable to the

they are approached by some, some

thought TO be at variance with their
views like a redheaded stcpchild.
