When ostrich plumes uswi to cost ?3 to $lO apiece nil normal women wanted to wear them nnd they pro nounced them "just too lovely for anything.” Hut now that the bobbed hair eraze has killed the ostrich business nnd plumes are being sold in the 10-eeut stores' of course no respectable woman wants to be seen wearing one. Such things may seem funny, but they are just natural. Human nature is made that way. We want what is hard to get, and it takes an etfort to appreciate what is common. If you are one ofthose human beings who can appreciate and rationally enjoy the things that are , common —the fresh air, pure water, nature, friendship, music, art, good reading, work, play—then you are indeed fortunate, for you possess a fortune greater than Word or Rocke feller. The finest and best things are free as the air, or virtually so. Even sal vation is free—and perhaps that is just what is wrong with it. There are a lot of people who have no uee for anything that’s free; they value everything by the price that has to be paid for it. When whisky tvas $1 'a quart such people never eared enough ■ about it to buy it or drink it, but now that it costs many times that much they will break all the laws of God nnd man to get it. This is all covered by what the modernists call “psychology.” In earlier days no-one knew anything about psychology—at least not un der that name; but now everything is “psychology.” It is “psychology” that makes the average human being want what costs a lot, especially something that he hasn’t got. It is “psychology” that make the pos sessor of a radio set “fish” for hours to get some distant station, and then not listen but go on fishing for more distant stations. It was “psychology” that made an Indian warrior glory in the scalps that he literally strung at his belt, and it is the snme thing that makes the modern flapper glory in the number of scalps that she figuratively strings to her belt, it any. In the old days the moralists rav ed at evils and set up guide-posts to mnrk unmistakably the straight and harrow path of rectitude. They did their best, but they did not reckon with this “psychology” stuff. Psychology, as a science or study, is a very modern affair. In fact it’s like a new-style hat; everybody is hurrying to acquire it and parade it, no matter how ridiculous it may make them appear. There is alto gether too much of it for our .rood ; it has run away with the world. Youngsters now “want what they want when they want it,” and noth ing can keep them from haring if. If a.sign says "Wet Paint” they are thereby prompted to rub their hand on the paint. They must stick their fingers in the fire and get burnt. The mere wanting of a thing is the only standard they recognize. Wheth er it is sensible or wise or modest or moral doesn’t enter into the equa tion. The ostrich plumes in the 10-eent store nrc just one more commentary on the times. After a while things will improve, however. The world is not going to the devil, and the younger generation are all right. Women have been “emancipated” and they are on a spree celebrating their freedom. They don’t mean to “obey” anyone; they want to do what they want to do. buy what they Want to buy, and decide everything for themselves. A smart newspaper parngrapher (a horrid man, of course) makes the remark that “man may be inferior, but he won’t pay $18.05 for a $2 , hat just to get a certain label in it" .That is all right as a joke but it i merely emphasizes this quality of human nature. A man will pay $500,000 for a painting with a cer tain artiat’a name on it when he * wouldn't pay ST» for the rame pic ture if it was patnted by an un known artist. j We are all of us, in one way or another, deeply influenced by thtfc j “psychology" bug. If we civn learn to Appreciate better the tnin&s we have —the things that are. common, the things that are cheap or free—then we shall indeed have a fortune no matter how poor we may be in a merely financial sen*«\ Try this on your saxophone.

And it's irnmp, tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp. With a conniving, designing vamp! Innocent children will suffer for care. Os a father and he is gone elsewhere, Gone on a journey around the world. Taking a pleasure trip amid the busy whirl, Xpt a soul to speak to—just a lone .. . some tramp. With a heartless, soulless, designing vamp. As he sits in his room, he jumps with fear, At every sound he chances to hear, While his babes call "papa,” in a fnroff state.
