FASHION AND
GOOD FORM.”
"A philosopher and observer of human nature seeking to read the riddle of the modern world might very welk profice' bie labenri by what is vulgarly called "a round of the shops" Especially, an this time of the year would his reward for so apparently unphilosophic an exonraión be high, because just now the stops are expressin perhaps more successfully thin any other medium, the scope and variety of life. Their wares are indeed bewilder ing: but they bewilder graciously, with- out confusion. That quality would serve our observer as mirror of the mind of women in bar hiest evolution... Babolding it, he would recognize a new love of beauti ful things and a new daring in the choice of them He would see that, modern wonun does not wish her thinking to be done for her; rather that sho desires adventures mong many fabrics and fashions and ha les-that is to say, advertores among her own ideas and preslilections. Nor bare! bright colours their traditional power to overave her. Courage is translating itself into formus and hues consistent with its Löwn strength. The philsopher would certainly patise here to ask himself how it is that women Imve been elled "the slaves, of. fashion," for in this mirrar they appear rather to be seeking fresh and original conceptions-to be 'rai- ning away from fashion instead of wooing hur The question might lend him to extend his pilgrimage to the shops which are exclusively devoted to modern man.. Then another surprise would be in store. For here, before trim counters, he would find fashion's real slaves, beings whose greatest anxiety it is lest they should differ one from the other in any detail of their Apparel. Here he would reach the knowledge thuf ZIN wowan becomes freer in the expression of her tastos, man stemS to grow more rigid and more convertional. His sorers of yesterday at her imitativeness apply now only to him- selt. While she has made fashion her servant he has, acknowledged it as his 80– vereign. Nor is the matter improved by a reshuffling of mines. Good forms" is not less a bondage because it has an imposing title. "Good form," indeed, is only a new name for the herd instinet. And so perhaps our philosopher will be brought to the conclusion, which has been expressed freely enough before, now by the prophets of feminisma; that it is woman and not man who is primarily responsible for things that liberate us from the courantional.—The Timex.

WEN
WOMEN WHO WORRY.
"St. Paul has not been regarded as the friend of women," declared Miss Lena Ashwell preaching last month at Eccleston Guildhouse. If any fence is to be made a little bigber, to limit the | progress of women, it is always St. Paul who is referred to. I do not know how the young women of to-day feel, but the women of iny earlier days had extreme dificulty in finding what their position in regard to the great creative scheme. The idea in Milton, He for God only, she for God in him,' seemed to be in one's veins, and we could never escape from the uncertainty as to what She was part of the human race and yet not part of it; able to do certain things, and inhibited from doing other things. We wonders have got to remember, when we come across these very difficult things in modern life, that the soul is always regarded in the deep symbolism of religions feminine. Women are always worrying about some. thing. They want this and they want the other thing, just because they are women. What matters is the Boul, and the only thing that matters about the soul is that it is the place where can be born the greater life."

DISTINGUISHED LITIGANTS.
A London cable to Indian papers states that Sir Henry Bik-Ironside and Gen. Sir Percy Sykes are each claiming 2000 and Lady Sykes is claiming £100 as plaintiffs in actions in the King's Bench against Lieut.Col. James E. Adamson, U.S.O., for the return of money paid for shares in the European Film Cor poration.
Col Adamson said that the money was. not paid to him but to the company.
The plaintiffs alleged that the com pany never went to allotment.
Sir Henry Bax-Ironside said that when he returned From Sufia, he did not know, whether it was the glamour of the diplo dtic service, but Col. Adamson was anxious that he should join the Boards of a number of companies. "I stupidly yielded to a tempting suggestion to be chairmans of this company," he added. He asked his friend Sir Percy Sykes to join
The bearing was adjourned till the th May to enable Cal, Adamson, who is l Ito give evideacé,
