V THE ELON COLLEGE WEEKLY. Friday, October 24, 1913. TOOL FASHIONS, OR FASHION FOOLS, OE WHAT? The following clipping from the pen of the gifted Kansas author and statesman, William Allen White, may lead to some profitable reflection: That’s some dress you’ve got on, little girl—it sure is. That delicate, clinging, crinkly stuff is the prettiest cloth on the store counters; that silk Persian sash of many colors so grace fully swathed about the center sections of your anatomy would knock the spots off Joseph’s coat. You are corseted and tailored according to the most ex treme models in the advance Angust fashion-books. But your neck is too low and your sleeves are too short, and your skirt is far and away tighter than skirts ever were meant to be. And that graceful slit exposing your dainty left ankle shows a stocking above your pump ' that, is almost transparent enough to read through. ^And you haven’t any more petticoat than a rabbit—you know you haven’t. Oh, you’re some swell, you are! Have you noticed how the loafers around the grove rubber after you as you trip de murely by on your way to the uplift lectures? And have you been thinking, little foolish one, that they were rub bering out of pure admiration? Ask your brother about it. If he's got any sense, he’ll tell you some things that will be hard on your vanity and good for your soul. And if you’ve got any sense, you’ll take his word for it; you ’11 lay that dress away and don something that is wide enough around the bottom to allow room for two petti coats and one pair of legs. For there never was a dress de signed, little girl, that is half so beau tiful as a young girl’s modesty.—O. B. WKITAKEK, in Herald of Gospel Lib erty. DEVOTIONAL SCRIPTURE READING. A _>oung lady, asked by her friend to explain what is meant by devotional reading of the Bible, made answer as follows: “Yester day morning I received a letter from one to whom I have given my heart and deaoted my life. I freely confess to you that I have read that letter five times, not be cause I did not understand it at the first reading, nor because I ex pected to commend myself to the author by fre(iuent reading of his epistle. It was not with me a ques tion of duty, but simply one of pleasure. I read it because I am devoted to the one who wrote it. To read the Bible with the same motive is to read it devotedly, and to one who reads it in that spirit, it is, indeed, a love letter.”—Unit ed Presbyterian. IRRITATING HABITS. A grass burr in your shoe never produces death, but it is exceed ingly disagreeable. And so it is with the nagging and fault-finding habits of some people. They never kill you outright, but they some times make you almost wish you were dead. How they irritate and pester you! The only good pur pose they serve you is to cultivate the graces of patience and forbear ance.—Texas Christian Advocate. NOTICE.
