Odds of to said that Harvard
would be the team favored by fate
when the whistle shrilled its last.
These were shortened figures.

by a ton Of Princeton money
which rode into town overnight
from New York and way points.
The suspicion that the Tigers, ever
the nemesis of Harvard, had some.
thing up the strategic sleeve, also
influenced the rally in Princeton's
stock
Perfect weather, sunny and cool
but not cold, favored the occasion,
and the customary capacity crowd
waited for the opening whistle. In
this case it was $1,000, owning to
the fact that the Harvard stadium
has concrete and not elastic walls.
Like the house divided against
itself the crowd was equally par
tisan in its support of the con.
tending teams, Princeton men
came on from New York. this
morning, secretly flushed with
the prospect of a typical Prince
ton rally for the first. of its two
big moments. The Tiger was al.
legged to be twice the team it was
in losing to NOtre Dame several
weeks ago.
Its heavy, semi-experienced line
was said to have come along splen-
didly on attack during the last
week, so, much so, in fact, that
Roper planned to use light. fast
backfield that could take advantage
of all openings that were expected
to be presented. The backfield, It
was said, would be composed o.
Williams, Weekes, Slagle and Gill.
gan with veterans such as Cald
well, Dinsmore and Gibson held in
reserve.
1t was further alleged that
Princeton had developed a passing
attack of more than ordinary merit
and that its new backfield had
been summoned with the idea that
it would run a bit wild against the
Harvard wings, which were be-
lieved to be none too good. But
this was the sum total of Prince
tons possible advantage in the pre-
game calculations, although tradi-
ton has it that Princeton does not
always have to be as good as Har-
ward in order to win.
In the present instance, every.
thing points to the Tiger being Sec
ond best. Where Princeton rallied
after Notre Dame, the Crimson also
stepped along to better things af-
ter its Dartmouth reverse, and to-
day easily rated as the better team
of the contending pair.
Harvard had by long odds the best
backfield in Stafford, Gerhke, Ham
mond and Miller, one of the best in
the East.
In all the years they have played
football since 1877, Princeton has
won fourteen games to Harvard s
nine, with three resulting in tie.
That forms fitting commentary on
Primo football.

ever, seems really to be a new condi-
ton and not merely a reversion to GUS
tins which have existed at one time or
another. That is the extravaganza of
all classes. In days gone by, there ex-
listed two distinct types of people those
who belonged to the group from which
luxurious dressing and living were ex-
pected and those who didn't. Today
this distinction has disappeared and
perhaps that is the cause for the loud
complaints of e"wanton extravaganza"
from those who wish to reform the
world and the people in it.
As a small example, silk stockings
are worn by girls who are earning SIS
a week, just as they are worn by girls
who are earning 5000 week or those
who buy them with their parents
money. The stockings may be of diff
sferent quality; the SIS week girl may
not have as many as her more fortunate
sister-but she is wearing silk stock
ings. Irrespective of her income and
not caring whether she is correctly
turned out for her job or not, the aver
age girl today feels she must at all
costs follow the edicts of those who in

woman is wearing" Hence also this
rage for imitation jewelry T. ne of the
denominations of the age) and shoes Of
poor leather, for which one pays more
than those of good leather because they
are absolutely copied from the smart
est shoes on Fifth avenue" and so on.
This craze for imitation is a pity.
1t not only means that good many
working girls are spending their money
unwisely but also that they lose GER
tain distinction and personality which
they might have. At best an imitation
is poor thing, and a poor imitation
lis worth nothing. The really we'll
dressed woman, rich or poor, considers
primarily the appropriateness of her
costume for whatever she may be going
to do. A feeling for dressing according
to the time and place is the greatest
mark of well-dressed woman. Fur
Their, a dress or suit made of good ma
terial, no matter how simple, will al
ways look smarter-if girls would only
realize it-than cheap limitations of So
called smart dresses and accessories.
In the old days, expensive dressed
could not be cheaply initiated because
they depended on good material and fine
embroideries.
Today it is harder at first glance, to
tell the difference between the good ma
terial and the bad-what is initiated is
smartness not fabric.

1.-THE glory Of the God Of Isreal."
Ezekial-0-3.
The glory of God
Of Isreal,
Who casts on the heart
His magic spell!
To Him, to Him!
Thy secrets tell.
Rise in the night
When the stars are high
And pray for the ones
Who do not try
For the dead who are living,
For the living who die.
The glory Of God
Is like a song.
That carries the heart
In a dance along
The music of spheres
Both sweet and strong.
