SKILL AND COURAGE, BUT VERY
BAD JUDGMENT.
It wn* a French observer who r*>-
mark.d of the charge at Ralnklava that
it waa magnificent, but not wRr. They
worn Brit lab who enacted till* exploit
that was «o much more theatrical than
■enalble. *
It Is not unlikely that when the Brlt
lah recover their equanimity they will
turn a criticism once directed agnlnat
themselves on tlie Hermann.
Certainly, in daring and skill, the
exploit of the Hermans in innkliiK a
dash on the British coast and bom
hardlnK three British towns, was mag
nificent. They risked the chance of
encountering: a naval force greatly so
per lor to their own. And they risked
the greater danger of running afoul >f
mines capable of blowing them to
atoms. Tiiat they threaded their vva
among these mines seems to have
tounded the British as well i’t may ev
ery one. As a feat of gallantry, thta
exploit of the German navy must be
come • classic in naval nnals.
But what of it as a tactical measure
of warfare? A score or two of Britons,
men. women and children, were killed,
neither the hiss In life nor In property
diminishes the power of Great Britain
to fl-tit Germany. It may have sent
a wave of terror through England, but
that consequence will he but momen
tary. The furtiier Hnd more lasting
effect will be to Increase the hoatllllj
of the British and intensify their de
termination to vanquish Germany, and
these results are not of a kind to help
the Germans. Certainly tt ie not good
tactics to aid the enemy in recruiting, j
and this is what tliu Germans have
done by their gallant exploit.
And it must have other consequences
equally detrimental to Germany. There
is aome question wheth these were
fortified towns, tine of them seems
certainly not to have been, tn which
case Germany, by bombarding it, set
at nnught the rules of warfare tli.it I
govern the civilised nations, lienco
the Germans seem lo have given some
confirmation to charges heretofore
made against them, nml also to have
suggested that they have been reduce!
lo a state of desperation. Neither of
these Inferences can be beneflciui to j
Germany.
On# can hardly escape the conclu
sion that this stroke was us blind is
brilliant; one that vvus prompted by
passion rather than by rcHson. It may I
assuage the grief of Germany over the
loss of her ships off the South Amor
lean coast, but an act which accom- j
pllshes nothing more than the gratt- !
flcatlon of resentment emphasises the

DRUBILLA CLEANS HOUSE.
It wan late* ono Hummer night when
ltohby Jone« looked out of his box and
Inquired of Drunilla what had hap

“We have been cleaning house, ’’ ex

for something else to do. and, soring
Teddy Bear on the floor in the corner
she ran over to him and picked him up.
" 'Teddy ha* fur on him.’ she said, 'I
think we better brush him and put
some smelly stuff on him, too, hs

Live Interest
*
Put something with life or "motion to
it” in a store window and it is sure to at
tract a crowd.
But in the long run—day in and day
out—straight merchandise windows wiil
bring more dollars into the store.
These are things every retailer
knows.
The blending of these ideas in the
best way would seem to be the filling of
the window with Live Merchandise.
Live merchandise is the kind that
people want to see and want to buy.
Standard national articles advertised
in the daily newspapers lead in this classi
fication.
People reading about merchandise
in their favorite paper want to see it. If
it is good they want to buy it.
The wise retailer dresses his window
with the national products advertised in
the newspapers.

“Well, my little mother ran down

showed her mother the place on
Teddy Bear's side.
“ 'Yes, a moth did that,' said hot
mother after examining Teddy Bear,
“ami we shall have to give him a heat

“If you think they did not beat me
your are mistaken, Druetlla," said
Teddy Bear from ills corner, “and I
think 1 have had an adventure this
time which is as interesting and
dreadful as any you have told.”
Hrusllla and Bobby Jones both
looked toward Teddy Bear, who
looked very forlorn and disgusted
also.

"Well, if it was not an adventure. It
certainly was an escape." said Teddy

all about It."
Teddy sat up straight and looked
very important as he began his story.
"As you know, Hrusllla, your littio

The Dangers
of Flirtations
(By Beatrice Fairfax.)
Dear Miss Fairfax: lam deeply in
terested in u girl I see every day on the
caV as I go to work. She smiles at
me every morning as we ride in the car,
Dut I sc iVcely dare to speak, as I have
never been introduced. I do not know
any of her friends.
1 would like to meet her, but I don’t
like to get acquainted by flirting with
her. Would you kindly advise me if 1
should speak to her? writes “Steadj
Header.”
Fetters of this sort keep pouring in or
me, and nothing that 1 (an say seems
to impress my readers with the fact thal
theirs is not a special case, or that ic
their particular instance it would not be
pafe and sane to scrape acquaintance
with some one of whom they know
nothing. #
Once and for all time I reply to those
many correspondents—"DON’T FLIRT.’
Every day each one of us sees, in
passing, some face that arrests and at
tracts. The “stream of life” carries bj
us people for whom we feel either a
momentary attraction or a conscious af
finity. They pass, and we cannot know
them; we date not even try. That is one
of the rules society lias laid down foi
its own protection.
I am not saying that this rule does not
force us to miss enjoyable friendships—
but it also saves us from disastrous ac
quaintances.
Unfortunately, part of the stock ir.
trado of villains and adventuresses often
is to simulate Innocence and charm so
perfectly that no eye can detect the
sham. And some of us are so consti
tuted that when beauty attracts our vis
ion our cool, sAne judgment can not
fight its way into our consciousness and
sway us at all.
At best, we are likely to meet all sorts
of rogues and mountebanks. But some
times we are protected from them by
the respect they feel for our position, or,
nt the other extreme, the pity it en
genders.

Acquaintances
An Introduction is a guarantee of good
faith. When John Smith says, "Miss
Brown, I want you to know my friend,
Mr. Jones.” he is standing sponsor for
Miss Brown and Mr. Jones; and they
both know it and act toward one anothet
with a certain regard for their mutual
relations to Smith.
But when Mr. Jones, after smiling
at Miss Broton during a week of meet
ings in the subway, comes up to her and
says. "Er —you going my way?’’ and she
smiles and says "Yes," two things hap
pen in Mr. Jones’ mind.
He readjusts his admiration for her
blue eyes in terms of "I wonder if any
other fellow ever ‘picked her up?’ ’’ and
“Well—that was easy. Guess I looked
as good to her as she did to me.”
And the acquaintance that starts with
a little fear of what he’ll think on Miss
Brown’s part is likely to end with abrupt
unpleasantness when she finds just how
badly he does thin.x of a girl w’ho had
so little self-respect that she let a
stranger speak to her.
Flirting is a risk—too great a risk to
take. It has definite big dangers,
through it we are likely to make very
undesirable acquaintances and to come
to be considered as a possible undesir
able acquaintance.
The chances are a hundred against
one that a worth-while individual will
be met in this way. The chances are
one against a hundred that worth-while
people will ever care to know you after
you have shown yourself to be one of
those "gamblers with life’’ who permit
yourself to follow any fancy of the mo
ment and to accept acquaintances with
out any demand for credentials of char
acter in the shape of proper introduc
tion.
You wouldn’t lend any strangers you
passed casually on the street your last
five dollars because you liked his face,
would you? Why entrust to his keep
ing what is Infinitely more precious,
your reputation, your standard of per
sonal dignity, your character itself?
