My life Is so different from that OF

These comments about morality are
inspired by the discussion Of cigarette
smoking by girls, which printed
along with Jim's communication. In
that discussion I said I would not

added that I would not trust a girl

Screens.

1t isn't often that woman can buy
something both useful and decorative.
Screens are both ornaments and
shields, and their uses are as varied as
their designs and the materials from
which they are made.
What sort of a screen may / buy?''
is a very logical question. Why. any
sort Of screen, from the tall. fourfold
screen for the dining room to the little
Coromandel screens which are espe-
cially good in a group by the fireplace.
In other words, there is any number
and variety of screens, each fitting
somewhere In the home.
II YOUR home is fitted with English
furniture you might be interested In

lar, oblonE. or heartshaped, and 1t is
generally a piece Of framed embroid-
cry fastened to a wooden pole or
standard upon which it may be raised
or lowered. This type of screen is
more effective as an ornament than as
a shield.
Have you had any trouble trying to
divide large rooms which serve for two
or more purposes? Screens are espe-
cialIy useful when one room must
serve as dining room and living room.
In this connection large screens are
necessary. Early screens were made
In stamped leather, painted leather,
or tapestry. In some valuable screens
lacquer has been used to produce ex-
quisite effects.
Chinese or japanese screens beau

The argument of those who shun

The high spike heel Is certainly still
pre-eminent in Paris. This type of

their failure to get clear vision of

der" take an unfair advantage and
violate the natural rights Of another?
Is 1t possible to have respect for a
"kidder" when he isn't serious and
has no respect for himself?
Observation-Disclosures the "kidder. .
so called, Is as often a nuisance as he
is a necessity. Yet every age needs a
satirist and every business Office is
perhaps the better for the fool silencer.
Too often, however, this useful but
delicate function Is undertaken by
some boisterous buffer, whose flashy
attempts at wit secure the outlaws OF
his sycophantic admirers.
The practice has been abused to
such an extent that sensitive or slow.
witted people suffer daily torture from
It. Even college students who tumble
at foot ball commit the objectionable
sin which is frequently penalized by
the flnuts, jibeS and jeers Of their fel'
