Answering Fools.

-4aStoer not foot according to his
fol1y. lest thou also be Ike unto HIN.
4ns,uer q fool according to his folly,
lest he be tr,ise n, his o1cn corcett-
Prov. &c AS.
This looks like contradictory ad-
vice.
But it is really a careful view Of
both sides of the same subject.
Some letters are SO unreasonable,
some questions SO impertinent,. soane
tacks SO full Of blind prejudice that
to answer them is to descend to their
level.
Silence is the best reply
Christ gives us an example. (Mat-
thew, 27.l2D.
On the other hand. some forms Of
folly are SO vain, rirulent and dam
gerous that they need correction.
The ignorant and conceited should
not be permitted to drive automo-
biles, or 20" write text books, or to
claim censorship In church or state.
4 searching inquiry is often the
best answer to this kind Of foolish
lTess.
Christ gave an example of this
asking them question which they
could not answer (Mark, 11.27-33D
But for US frall and fallible men,
in the daily run Of life, I think It
wise to follow tho first counsel of
Solomon oftener than the second
To go around the world trying to
expose the folly of all the complacent
foolish people would be a tiresome,
endless. fruitless task.
1t would not make them wiser, nor
us happier.

Present Styles in Bathing Suits
BY MARY MARSHALL.

The situation is always rather
amusing when the pendulum or
fashion IS swinging back toward con-
servatism.
This swinging process is always
going on, gradually toward the eX-
treme Of what we choose to regard
as immodesty and then as gradually,
but as surely, back again toward the
extreme of reserve. There are al
ways alarmists who disregard the
world-old law Of dress and fashion
who raise Il terrific clamor, taking
It for granted that fashions pen
dulum Is going TO keep right on.
What are women coming to. If they
wear skirts up 10 their knees now
what will they be doing ten years
from now? IT they go with bare
arms IN the streets and transparent
stockings what will be their next
move? Are We going to accept 4
South Sea Island costume?
You know how it was when skirts
were at their shortest ii few seasons
ago. I he alarmist didn't seem 10 be
so much concerned at the extreme
that already prevailed. They blushed
10 think what might happen next.
But, OF course, the next thing that
happened WAS that skirts began to
get longer. As soon as women have
exhausted the possibilities of one
extreme they abandon it. When
headdresses became so high that they
went past all bounds of proportion
IN the reign of Louis XVI and Marie
Antoinette they went out of fashion
and women wore their hair as low as
We do now
Then some thing really amusing
happens. SO used have we become to
rho extremes-to the modes that
verge on what might be called i'm
IIodest-that. the reversal seems
alarming. So when woman ap-
peared on one OF the fashionable
FLORIDA beaches wearing a bathing
suit with long close sleeves and a
htgh neck the effect was almost
shocking. But it was one of those
astonishing things that are recog-
nized 1T once as undeniably smart.
