what's more, I'll bet they

Who can doubt it?
With his pearl-gray top
per, his Ascot scarf of Vic
torian elegance, his Bond
Street morning coat ana
trousers, his white spats anG
his orchid at coat lapel, the
one and only E. Berry Wall
is still King of the Dudes.
His 70 years rest lightly
upon his beautifully tailored
shoulders. That formidable
mustache which used to be
the envy of the dandies Of
Delmonico's and Sherry's,
sprays across his face in its
old-time magnificence. Under
still-dark brows, his eyes
are still alert for a pretty
ankle or a provocative eye.
We have just had a pic
ture of him from Paris-the
same old King of the Dudes,
in a vividly-b banded Panama,
huge stock, fancy waist
coat and sport shoes. He
has lived in Paris for 20
years because he finds it
cheaper for a poor million
aire. He's still a good
American at heart, but it's
a mournful thing to saunter
down Fifth Avenue and
meet not a soul he knows.
In the Gay Nineties, E.
Berry Wall had a hundred
suits of clothes and be-
longed to Is clubs.
On the avenue he was the
despair of youthful dandies,
who blinked their eyes at his
vividly-checked suit, his swal-
low tail coat and the silk
shirt which matched the suit
even to the color and the
checks. His stupendous col
lar, mounting to his ears, was
circled with a voluminous
scarf of salmon or canary.
Five feet Of watch chain bill
lowed across the front of
his cream colored, double
breasted waistcoat.

Big Game, ELSIE ROBlNSON
But where shall you start in?
A month ago it all seemed
easy. Your parents and your
professors had laid out a pat
tern for you, and each person
and experience fitted neatly
and easily into that pattern.
Where's your pattern? Shot
to pieces!
And of what use would it be
if you had it?
Even in this short time you've
discovered it would be Of no
use forever. These strange
faces with their strange be-
havior-they would never fit
into any pattern your teachers
or parents ever devised. The
rules are all wrong. The meas
urements are all cockeyed.
Here are people and ideas,
standards and customs of which
you never dreamed in your
sheltered campus life. This is
an entirely different world-a
world for which nothing has
prepared you.
Not only did they fail to pre-:
pare you, but by their misin-
formation they actually unfit
ted you to deal with this world.
Already you're swamped by dis
couragement and dismay. And
where can you get your bear
ings? Whom can you follow?
Whose technique should you
study? Which standards should
you accept?

Stop Complaining

Don't talk so much about
your ailments.
True, you have more than
most folk and fewer than many.
Mid , age has its afflica-
tions, it's impaired strength and
certain discomforts to be boEne.
But just because you ave
heard others complain OF aches
and pains is not an Indication
that you must have the same.
Neither is it an indication
that @ person is free from pain
because he refrains from speak
ing of it.
Often when a person dies un-
expectedly, it is found that Tor
years that one endured pain,
uncomplainingly, as a result OF
a serious physical condition.
Usually such persons realize
that their lives may be snuffed
out withoV- any warning.
Yet they go on year after year
without complaint.
While you, with a minor all
ment, bore folk frequently with
details.
Don't be so persistent in try
ing to gain sympathy.
Garry your load-others are
doing as much.
It may seem a bit inhuman
to say that people are tired OF
your whining but it is a fact
nevertheless.

Unsolicited Advice

advice?
When persons want help or
suggestions they usually make
the fact known.
It is quite likely to be the
case that those too free with
advice on unimportant mat
ters have little of value to give
when big affairs are at stake.
The one who is so anxious to
help you with profuse advice is
like the one who talks too much
has little of worth to present.
Thinking persons try to ex-
press only such ideas as are well
founded and are not anxious to
influence others.
There is a certain responsible
ity involved when advice is
given and followed.
Those who are so free with
advice sometimes are surprised
when a person hearing, acts
upon his or her advice.
It has become such habit to
express a preference one way
or another whenever anything
comes to taking the advice
given.
Some have such comforting
remedies for every known NAL
ady and few of the remedies are
beneficial, because the adviser"
never goes deep enough to know
what complications are involved.

SHORT JOURNEYS
BY Temple Manning

In India, that land of strange
contrasts, it is perhaps not as
tonishing to find that in My
sore, one of the most progress
sive and prosperous States of
India, there are annual fetes
and celebrations that surpass
any fetes or pageantS de-
scribed in Arabian Nights. My
sore city, often called the
garden city of India, stands on
a plateau more than $500 feet
above the sea level, and is
therefore cool enough to be de-
lightfully comfortable.
If the tourist is wise he will
visit there either in May, the
anniversary of the natal day of
the Maharaja of Mysore, or
during the 10 days of the DaS-
hara, starting near the end of
September and continuing into
October. During these periods
celebrations are staged that are
really worth going across the
world to behold.
During the birthday festivities
there is a procession starting
from the amazingly beautiful
palace and on through the city
to government house, the Ma
haraja leading the way mounted
on a superb charger. At night,
when the cortege returns to the
palace, the whole city is re-
splendent with festoons of cleo
trio lights and the palace itself

Illuminated, appears like a
globe of molten gold-a spec
tacle that defies description in
its almost barbaric splendor.
But the greatest of all festi-
walls is centered round the
Dashara, when huge crowds
from all parts of India are
attracted to the city. Seated
on the ancient throne of
Mysore, the very progressive
Maharaja holds Durbar every
evening of Dashara, while
massed thousands witness the,
function from the decorated
and Illuminated courtyard be-
low. On the tenth day of
Dashara a triumphal process,
sion, led by the Maharaja and
his brother riding on elephants,
marks the high spot of the
celebrations, and after sunset a
review of troops is held on the
Maidar, ablaze with lights.
This is one OF the most thrill
ind and spectacular pageants
that even India, land OF
pageantry, has to offer.
Every evening during Dashara

THIS CROWDED, DISORDER
LY WORLD.
IF YOU TRY TO ADAPT
YOURSELF TO OTHER PEG
PIES NOTIONs-YOU'RE
LOST.
You won't believe that at
first. You'll be too busy watch
ing the Other Fellow-trylng
to copy his success-dodging
his failures. And you'll be sure
that if you can copy the Right
People and avoid the Wrong
People, you'll succeed.
But you won't!
Instead, you'll just go hay
wire, as millions of other
confused young souls (and old
ones, too) have gone before
you, when they tried to use
that method. For it never has
worked-and there's less chance
of it working in 1888 than
YOUR : ONE CHANCE OF
SUCCESS LIES IN BEING
YOURSELF.
The world has no use for
limitations, even the cleVerest
ones. It is already filled with
them. BUT IT HAS A TIRE
MENDOUS NEED OF ORIG
INALS-MEN AND WOMEN
WITH FRESH, DIFFERENT
IDEAS AND VIEWPOINTS,
AND THE COURAGE OF
THEIR OWN CONVICTIONS.
Does that mean that you
needn't adapt yourself to other
people; that you must always
insist on having your own
way. OF course, it doesn't.
But it does mean that, in
spite of all necessary adapta-
tions and compromises, you
must be a Real Person. with
an established and unique char
acter of your own.
So Being Yourself Is not
merely your ONLY chance, but
also your BEST chance. And
the first step toward Being
Yourself is to find out what
you, yourself, really are. Never
mind what your doting parents
or your teachers think you are.
And stop banking on your own
secret hunch that you're a
potential Barrymore, Edison,
Brisbane Or Roosevelt.
WHAT YOU MUST DIS
COVER-WHAT THE WORLD
WILL DEMAND-ARE TRUE
FACTS. So cut out the pipe
dreams and take check of your
self.
WHAT CAN YOU REALLY
DO?
WHAT DO YOU REALLY
THINK?
FOR WHAT WILL YOU DO
BATTLE?
Answer those questions.
It won't be easy. It will, in
deed, be difficult and humiliat-
ing. You will probably find
that you have the capacity of a
kerosene lamp instead of a star
and would make a better
ditch digger than diplomat.
But it's better for you to dis
cover that fact for yourself
than to have the world expose
it with ruthless ha-ha'S.
So dare to search and find
your Self-your Real Self. Then
back that Self with all the
faith and courage and honesty
which you have.
THEN, AND ONLY THEN,
CAN YOU OFFER YOURSELF
TO THE WORLD WITH ANY
HOPE OF SUCCESS.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, June "a de-
cision to major on the movement
against repeal with local workers di-

at a conference of Anti-saloon League
superintendents from nine Southern

Our program is to break through the
defense lines set up by political coer-

only thing between the country and the
saloon is the eighteenth amendment
consequently cur task is to stress rejec-

The national dry leader said it was
the consensus of the conference that
the campaign in the various States
should be left to local dry forces.
