home to dinner, all apparently in
the best of health in spite of his
seventy-eight years. Dinner finished,
he stopped in the hallway to relate
with his usual enthusiasm, the events
of the day. Suddenly he dropped to
his knees, his hands clasped.

also erected there in his honor. OF

Don't give up sensible skirt for
one that is not sensible-style or no
style. If enough women will laugh
at the stylists, their fads will die
overnight.
Bobbed hair proved boon to many
women whose hair was so long that
headaches were the rule rather than
the exception. Stylists tried to bring
back long hair, but few aside from
the flappers who had never lived as
adults in the long-hair days allowed
their hair TO grow. Most women Of
nature years had learned that bobbed
hair was by far the best, and they
have refused to go back to the old
style. Men banished it in the days
of Samson, and women are showing
their sense by refusing to go back to
smelly tres5es, no matter what the
stylists say.
Treat the long skirt advocates in
the same way. When you make a
step forward in dress reform, see
that you do not slip back at night
