IPPING. AN ESSAY ON St by RALPH BERGENGREN. HOPPING is one of the vital elercents of American civilization. It not only brings women together, but it devel- ops the useful characteristics of courage, patience, quick decision, evd prompt action. What football is to the young manhood of the colleges, shopping is to the young and middle-aged womanhood of the sub- urbs, Taken in conjunction with the self-control developed by bridge, it rounds out the female charac- ter in a way that cannot but advance the possibility A FALSE TOOTH. that women will eventually be the ruling force in pub- lic as well as private life. What better experience for picking out Cabinet officers, for example, than a well-grounded proficiency in picking out bargains? An indistinct realization of this condition prob- ably accounts for the tendency of men to ridicule shopping. But no amount of ridicule has stopped the increasing number of department stores.

Whether it is too late for this process to even things up remains for the future to settle. THE MEAT STRIKE.
