THIS "FOLLOW-THE-LEADER

GAME."

DY HELEN DARE.

How many of us venture to live our own lives in our own way?

How many of us are there who have the grit or the backbone, resent it and rebel against it as we may, to resolutely refuse to play that "follow-the-leader" game from the cradle to the grave-yea, right to the grave?

How many of us are there who have the

that we are called on to do simply because

it is one of the things that is done ?"

How many of us are there who have enough independence and initiative to do the things we want to do instead of doing something entirely different for no better reason than that-

"Everybody's doing it now?"

BO

We not only spend our own whole lives abjectly playing this" follow-the-leader game; but when we have children start in with them on the same tack.

Wo carry it, as you very well know, to such an extrems that we hava certain fixed phrases for certain ovente, and re teach them to each other and impress on each other that nothing else would be proper in their place-even though we may be bursting with the desire to say something totally different.

Somebody started the game that way- and we follow the leader.

We might be famished for food-and carrying a sufficient mupply to ease cur hunger in a paper bag or a suit case; but would we dare to eat it as wo walked along, cheerfully spitting out the cherry pips or grape seeds on the way!

Not unless we wanted to invite social ostraciera or investigation by a lunacy commission.

It wouldn't be according to the rules of the game in which it is more discreet to starve to death than fail to follow the leader.

You must wear your clothes the way every one else in your class does, whether you like them that way or not.

Only a gius or an outlaw can do

| differently, and then there happens what | happened to Yyette Guilbert when she. wore her belt buckle in the back.

Every one of the faithful sheep follows suit and so a new game is started in which you follow the leader.

No matter what your appetite says- you have your meals like other people, dinner who every one else is eating dinner and if you refuse dinner and humour your stomach with breakfast food you are set down as eccentric, and nobody puts up with your notions long, unless You have oodles of money or influencs, or get by pretending you are an invalid. So arbitrary and exacting is the world that if you'd prefer to live on an apple a day, and thus get time to loaf and invite your soul, it won't let you.

It will come and look over the fence at sou until, in self-protection, you join the flock and follow the leader-to dis tract attention from yourself.

You can't, however much you may prefer it, wear flat-heeled shoes while high heels are in fashion without setting well- the mob to staring; and the regulated neighbours will lock askance if you keep hours that differ from theirs.

Very peculiar I wonder----

Oh No! They don't infer; but

Why, in this admirably-adjusted you can't even quarrel with your life partner after a fashion of your own.

It's all ent and dried.

If retain things happen, certain results must follow or you're pushed out in the cold where there are no polite standards.

It is perfectly true that some quite smart persons, if left to themselves, could tear each other's eyes out-almust, blacken eyes, pull hair, kick shing and things like that, that relieve the pressure on tem perame£t; and then kiss and make up, and go on hand in hand in contentment -only the world says that according to

It isn't in the least becane Mary and John want it done that way-being primitive animals in spite of their clothes but that's the way it is done"; and they haven't the strength of character to bult the game and do as they please.

There's a lot of us who'd much rather walk and would be the better for it, who keep automobiles because other folks do

More harrowing yet, some aspiring persons cultivate so much manner, put on so math "deg." attain to such supula tive elegance for the sake of impressing the world and getting on, that, once having committed themselves to the game, they are bound to keep it up or risk dis- covery.

Haring chosen to appear to be what they are not, they have to keep on struggling to "follow the leader" they've chosen to imitate, or fall by the wayside and be unmasked as the frauds they are. And the saddest part is that never having ventured to live our own lives our own way we never get what could have been ours.
