It is ram e important, midoubtedly, to humor boys' pieferences totday
than it was a eenexation ago. For a number years children have been
growing into larger indeperdence, Thinkers and studente of the "erhild
problem" have pleaded that the cle-velopmetit of individuality at the very
earliest Poesible age should be encouragedt These beliefs have pained beyond
the stage of being mere abstractions, and, with multitudes of fimilies are
actual rules of life.
This principle applies strongly in matters of dress, The boy who fond
of his clothes. and,f eels that his own judgment has been put into theim, will
take pride in them. He'll pratect them end keep them neat, They will
look well ani wear well—whole family pleased.
But, if the youth has a quarrel with the suit, he will loose nit chance to
square aecounts. The mysterioes gieing out ef ',many a suit can be accounted
for in the small wager's determination to be revenged,
