Immobility being impossible, one must ask whether the movement is upward or downward. If the second influence is the stronger will it cause us to fall lower than we were before, notwithstanding the efforts of a minority?

SIGNS OF CIVILISATION.

Too often one interprets civilisation to be: space conquered, time annihilated, the seasons suppressed or changed at will, children more and more precocious, women more and more freed from their subjection, everybody living his own lifa as he understands it; houses, factories, locomotives, turbines, batteries, or artil lery, more and more considerable; men herded in towns to procure pastimes that the country does not offer; places of pleasure accessible to everybody, gold for orerybody, leisure for everybody; in brief, math noise and agitation and a feverish ardour to reject everything calculated to impose moderation, calm, and simplicity. There Frogress is blindingly evident.

Is the theatre the image of society? It. The scenery is difficult to deny it. becomes more and more magnificent. Couples oftan meet at the theatre as guilty pessons in need of mutual pardon for their escapades. Marriage separates them. The husband wants to amass a fortune to spend as he likes, the wife has a similar idea; her role is to spend, money.

*- DESTRUCTIVE CIVILISATION.

The more the house is beautiful, the les it is lived in. If by chance the nominal occupants remain at home, it is to deliver themselves and their secrets to strangers.

Civilisation destroys the natural beauty of scenery, raises dust under the wheels of automobiles, rendering roads impos- sible to pedestrians. (But why walk 1 Civilised man takes a carriage!)

MAN WHO KNEW NO FEAR, ..

Miss Hamilton quotes a little poem written by Captain Tucker, a brother officer, who is now at the Hendon Flying School. He writes, "May I follow in his foot-steps!"

"In the poem," says Miss Hamilton, "be mentioned first my three other brothers who were killed in South Africa, and this is the verse about Patrick:-

And the fourth went up for his country's sake

In the early light of day,

we saw him upborne on the clouds of dawn,
