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 disaster which occasioned the disaster The Germans dispiaved a courage truly admirable and a skill truly marveloua One can not say so much for the qual- t tty of the judgment exhibited You half master your adversary vv lien you! make him mad, and the Germans give some evidence of having been mud, mad.

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, if it was not an adventure. It certainly was an escape." said Teddy Hear. "I'll tell you and Bobby Jones all about It." Teddy sat up straight and looked very important as he began his story.

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. fell over on the floor, sound asleep, before Drustlla hud recovered from the effects of his remarkable story.

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.
