WHEN BEAUTY Is IhADORNED

From two such widely separated centers o' sweetness and light as Boston and Grafton, W. Va, come stories of outraged deccncy.
 In Boston several elderly ladies were walking across the Common, near the famous Frog Pond, when behold m front Of them passed three boys dressed in exactly the same garb that Mother Nature had provided when they were born.
 The shock vas nearly too much 10 bear. and one Of the indignant ladies wrote piece 10 the Boston Herald about it, demanding that in the interest of decency and morals such goinss-on should De stopped on the historic Common.
 Of course, the boys were bathing in the Frog Pond; and like many other urchins who utilize it 10! such purposes, bathing suit vas not used
 It was gratifying 10 note, howevrr, that after the lady wrote her letter Of indignation. numerous other staid Bostonians came to the defense Of the boys, claiming that to see a naked child could pollute no ones mind. even on the Common,
 It appears likely that Mayor Cur ley will take no action. The naked boys will grow up into Democratic voters some day.
 The situation in Grafton is some hat more intriguing. Several girls camping near the town went about in shorts" and failed 10 wear more when they visited Main street in the town in search of ice cream refresh ments.
 It appears that in Grafton the moral tone IS highly developed, and ! the Mayor was immediately apprised i Of the dainty visitor. and the com motion they were causing. No dust seems to have been blown into the | eyes of bad men and the girls en- loved no lack of attention.
 Such experiences, however, are not | to be for Grafton. Shorts" are bar ! red-until the next time
 The hot weather season is upon us, and when people go in bathing they quit their clothes. This summer. lIkt it's pred eccssors, is likely to be filled with stories of indignant beholders when people are a bit careless about their appearance at or near beaches. We will hear protests about bathers undressing and dressing in automo- piles. about bathers walking far afeld while dressed in one-piece bathing suits; Of instances where  bathing beach officials do not permit bathers to stroll along board Ks without being properly dressedi" oi other places where anything goes SC long a. the bathers spend money and keep business popping.
 AS the decades roll on ideas change. In the nineties the public conscience would have been shocked indeed if folks pranced along bath ! ing beaches in the negligible attire which is customary today. Nowadays our consciences seem to be less i burdened.
 Most of us merely chuckle at what we see and read about in the good old summer time.

tions seems to have caved in. One reads little regarding neighbors pe- titioning against such construction; which may be due to two, reasons that gas stations have not been found to be a serious detriment to con- tiguous property, and that they can be made to look more attractive than was their wont when these necessary concomitants of motor travel were first constructed. A modern gasoline station, nicely painted and we'll light ed at night. lends color and bright ness to the neighborhood rather than injuring 1t. Yet the hazards incident to cars being forced to pass over the driveways which intersect the side walks. and the hazards of driving from and to the main highway re- main.
