Exeter Advocate, 1912-7-18, Page 3NOTES AND COMMENTS A significant point of view is that of the, head of a great English firm, Mr. Seeholim Rowntree, -who has written to the leeden Daily Mail -criticising the churches for not arousing the classea to a keener sense a the inequalities of fortune which are "so utterly pposed to the great prineipIe of brotherhood. Had they Played their part in mak- ing us vitally conscious," writes Mr; Rowntree, "that all our (zipper, tunities and talents and possessions lelhould be regarded, as a trust, to be utilized not for our own ends but for the benefit of the community, we should never have heard of la - leer enrest. It is because we have forgotten our trust that labor rises and says to us: 'If neither love. nor instice can induce you to share the good things a the world with your co-workere on fair terxu3 we who bave suffered for generattona must deniand oar share by force.' must reg.ogniro that done to the work cnn riace an the rich, No doubt, as the de higher wage and betto ns ot work heeentea more, in - the entpleying classes wUl inprQe their methods of orgard d in many i4dUstrien grog can hO i114130 in the' arit of the workcra without material- ly lessening the earninen of capital But this will net solve the prob- lem,.

The in- ereaso of the cost of living relative to wage increase is substantially greater, and is felt even by the classes above the wage career es:lately, Meanwhile political and social philosophy is modifying the thought of the edueated elaeses. The movement toward large social read- justments based en the economic r volution of the last, eentu ry is grow- ing in depth and power, and per- haps the most important question in the world of European civiliza- tion is whether these readjustments can be brought about without revo- lution.

PERFECTION OF GLORY Then flew one of the seraphim un- to me, haring coal in his band, whieh be had taken with the tongs •from off the &tare—Isaiah vi, 6, These words are taken frees ehe description of a thrilling experi. ence that Isaiah, the seer of Israel, lash in the House of God.

MORE ABOUT CLOVER. -- HOW to Deal With Weeds Which Contaminate Clover Seed Crops. In tile preduction of alfalfa seed the weed i to be especially watched are ragweed, rilagrass bladder cam - pion, trefoil and sweet clover. Usu- ally it is only the perennial weeds which contaminate the seed if the killed -out and thin places of field are taken care of with a scythe. In alsike, the docks are sonae- times common. They should be pulled when in blossom after the ground has been softened with a rain, or they may be picked out when cutting the seed and burned. The campions, especially night flow- ering catclatly or sticky cockle, "t -when in blossom shoot up above the .alsike and if not ton' thick may be either 'pulled or the tops cut off with a sickle.

A word on the subject of fashions hairdressing cannot came amiss when the ecaserths fashions are con- sidered. And certainly the vista, opening before us is a pleasing one, Lor there is a charming simplicity characterizing the new modes whieh eennot fail to appeal to artistic and cultured taste. Indeed, this ejenplicity is the key- note of the new modes in hairdress- ing, elaboration being avoided in every way, and it is "more enatter with less art," or rather, the art which disguises art, that is con- spicuous, that has been the case csi recent years. In Paris this feeling is carried alnaost to an extreme, and some coiffures are seen in which the hair is plainly tucked up on the neck in a manner almost unpleas- antly reminiscent of the eerly Vic- torian net. Leaving such exaggerations on one side, however, there can be no- thing but prates for the gracious swathing of the head with plain un- twisted coils. " LARGE HATS - Hats are immense, and there does not seem any prospect for the pre- sent of their growing smaller. They are veritable cart wheels, and ac- tually much larger than the wheel of a perambulator. Much of their effect depends upon the angle at which they are pinned upon the hair. It is not always easy to succeed with this angle, and a hat bought in a shop is, consequently, occasion - 3,11y a very bad disappointment. There ought to be laws of latitude and longitude whereby the purchas- er might learn exactly the angle which the brim should bear to the line of the eyes. _Those who dislike large hats have the alternative, and a very agree- able one, ef the rather large tur- ban, with the trimming massed on the top, or one straight feather standing up et the left side. An- other alternative equally agreeable is that of the 'plateau," which can be arranged before the looking glass in as many curves as may suit the wearer. RETURN OF THE GIRDLE.

WHITE PIQUE IN VOGUE. White pique is being revived. It is seen in coats, suits and dresses. A rouleau effect of a very simple nature en the skirt is the latest note in these plain frocks. It is shown on one made of white pique which has a waistband of povenche- blae silk, a piece let in on the neck of the same; also pipings on the sleeve. A. broad band of black velvet rib- bon on which blue buttons are mounted, appears on the blouse, and is brought down to front the waistband. The fulness necessary for walking is secured by the arrangement of the slight draping of the side panels of the skirt into the back panel. The front panel is, of course absolute- ly plain. The effect is of a double skirt at the side, and the arrange- ment, while it requires to be man- aged by a master hand, has an as- sured popularity before it in the plain summer freeks. .14 Pine were first manufactured by machinery in England in 1824.

Was ieknamed "Bean BrumMel on ount of Ifin Loud Dress - lag and Foppishness. eau Brumanel was the niekname give4 to George Bryan Brummel, a man who 'was !moue izi hia day as the arbiter of fashion and for re- presenting the perfection of taste in the matter of drese.

Then Brummel went to Oriel College, where he made hie merit by a stud- ied, indifferenee todiseipline„.a dis- ibe of study, arid an aversion to tRel forke, long before silver ones re common at the tcdale,s of the iddle classes to which his parents boionged. yi:0 became one of the, eampetiters for a prize to be given tor the best Poems Be failed, and in disgust he left college at the age of eeven- teen, having been there leas than a, year, However, if he had little learning, he had learned two things„ hew to gain eelebrated friends, and how to ent any of his acquaintances who eeased to be of any benefit to him. JOINED THE ARMY. By the detb of his father Beau neernel r ved whioh ho 1st r and when that, was he ted en what he eb- b , borrowing and begging. Ua ebtained a coventry the Tenth Hussars of which George, PrinceEeent, sfterwar4s George IV., was oolo 1—a revs meat of fops, tbe most expensive, best -dressed and worst-moreled in the British army, A walk Brummel chanced to take en the terrace of Windsor was a lucky eircumstanee for him. The prince -colonel observed him, asked who that exceedingly well-dressed person was, aud the Beau was in- troduced. An acquaintenee was followed by an intimacy which later the coxcomb developed into un- bounded ilepudence. By this etep his repntation was Made, which he kept up for some years. He bad an immense fund of good, but not witty sayiuga. His friends pronounced him a charming compa,nion, he entered the highest eircles of England and his rise in his regiment was rapid. In three years he was at the head of the troop, to the disgust of the alder officers. In 1798 Brummel sold his com- mission, His reason for it was ne- ver thoroughly explained, but the unsettled state of Europe at that tittle rendered it highly probable that his regiment might be sent in- to active service and he preferred a drawing -room to a battlefield. PRINCE OF BEAUX. He then commenced the profes- sion of a beau, and became known as the Prince of Beaux, while his patron was called the beau of princes. At this time he was per- fect in point .of figure, with an in- telligent but not a handsome fee. He had light brown hair, a nose somewhat Roman'and a beautifully shaped hand. Dress at that time became very untidy. Many of the leading men of the day affected supreme contempt for all outward adornments and the mode of a gen- tleman's dress had come to be as slovenly as possible. Brueinnel, who had been conspic- uous from boyhood for the neatness of his attire, now determined to be the best -dressed man in London. He took care to display to the best advantage his fine figure in a per- fectly -fitting frock coat. But his chief forte lay in hie cravat which 94 WOULD HAVE TO BE 4001).

Eie WAS) ir short, a well-dreeeed enob, but he was flattered nud invited every- wbere to nail a degree that he thought himself a, groat man. He hosed that he had but to beckon to the Dukes of Argyle and Jersey and they would come, and be held all but the peerage in die - (lain, It seerne Estrange that a men f his disposition should be toler- ated at a club, i ay of the many anecdotes told about him are true. The houses of the British nobility he regarded as inns to be visited by him with valet and portmanteau, with or without invitation, and to be spoken of afterwards as "a house to spend one night in." Ile boasted el the prinee; "I made him what he is and *an un- make hien," just the sort et saying to irritate A BRAINLESS PRINCE. Brummel dined with the prince, and, carrying his impudence a little toe far, he requested the regent to ring the bell, He did so, and when the servant elute he ordered "Mr - Drummers carriage." It may have been the remark made some time before about the Beau having made the regent, er it may have been the sarcasm an the prime's corpulency, but, at any rate, the bell was rung, and it sounded the knell of Brum- mel, who, however, had a little re- venge, The prince prided himself an his figure, and Oa he grew broad with years and good living, resorted to stays to preserve it,. The Beau, meeting him in company with an- other gentleman, inquired very coolly, but loud enough for the prince to bear: "Who is your fat friend'?" The eoolness, presump- tion and impertinence of the ques- tion, perhaps the very best thing the Beau ever said, cut the prince, but gave him the nickname of Dan- dy Killer. For a while Brurrunel patronized the regent's brother, the Duke of York, but he soon got deeper and deeper in debt. He struggled along, and often, with some success, to keep his place among the dandies and wits. Creditors became trouble- some, he received the nickname of George the Less in contradistinction of the prince, who was called George the Great, and he came to the conclusion that it would be bet- ter to cross the channel. For the remainder of his life the Beau lived in. France, part of the tune in a government consulship position, and the remainder of the time supported by his former friends. He finally sustained a paralytic shock, from which he ne- ver reeovered. His creditors closed around him and he was cast into prison. He showed signs of imbe- cility; all care of his person went, and from carelessness and disease his habits became so loathsome that an attendant could hardly be found for him. ;Admission was at last ob- tained for him into the asylum of the Bon Sauveur, Caen, where he died on March 30, 1840.

People oft -en suffer from weak, undeveloped lungs without suspect- ing it. True, small, feeble lungs are usually associated with a small, narrow, or 6:oaken chest, but not invariably. By means of the misuse of physical culture it is possible to develop large chest muscles, thus acquiring a big chest Measurement, while the lungs remain small and ill -nourished. Again, lung mischief is often so slow and insidious in its approach that the trouble is not discovered until it is firmly established. Here however, is a simple test which will tell you whether your lungs are healthy or not - Take as deep a breath as you ca and then, in a slow but distine Aroicre count 1 rem one onwards as far as you can without taking more breath.
