As each vehicle reaches the street along which it intends to proceed it will work outwards so as to facilitate its progress down the required street without croak- ing any other vehicles..

If some of the croakers took the trouble to recall their young days, (writes F. A. Mackenzie in the "Sunday Pictorial"). they would remember that the croakers mourn- ed over mother, when she was girl, just as they mourn over her Drivers of vehicles and pedes- daughter now.

In mother's time the champion slanderer of the young was a dear old lady, Mrs. Lynn Lynton; who) lived in B James's Park, and poured out more flat overlooking St. gloom from her cyrie than the gloomiest of gloomy Deans.
She was regarded as the cham- pions of the older and better years.
The Pattern Chonged. "Time was when the phrase, 'A fair young English girl, meant the ideal of womanhood," she declar- ed: a creature generous, modest, a girl neither bold in bearing nor masculine in mind. We prided ourselves on our women.
"This was in the old time, when English girls were content to be what God and Nature made them. We have changed the pattern.
"Now! The girl of the period dyes her hair and paints her face. Her sole idea of life is fun. Her sole aim is unbounded luxury. Dress is the chief object and thought of such intellect as Bhe possesses; to outvie her neighbour in the extravagance of fashion. For this, she sacrifices decency, modesty."
