The average flapper does not care for privacy ia the various details of making her toilet. She can rouge her lips in the midst of a street parade and comb out her bobbed locks while nibbling her eclaire lunch to the music of

a jazz band. Her womanly idea of preparedness is to have her vanity box chained to her arm at all hours. She carries a make-up box, instead of a prayer book or a nursing bottle. We have seen a broiler dab her nose five times with a powder rag while traversing a single city block. Before the stenographer goes out to lunch she holds active communion with her vanity case. She takes this essential equipment with her. When she finds her chair in the restaurant out comes the powder rag for another caress. When the lunch is concluded there must be more powder and rouge and possibly a call for the manicure tools. No girl hesitates at making up in a crowded street car or in the rush of traffic. She can cold cream herself in front of the Grand Army of the Republic. She has about as much privacy as a snake charmer. She will not hesitate to change nighties in the presence of the Archangel Gabriel. She will paint her eyebrows in honor of the American Legion, and roll her stockings in the company of the wide, wide world. She has learned to use a comb in the theater and her nail polisher in church. She can sit on the window sill and tint her lip's while the firemen below are waiting for her to jump. She is not easily disconcerted, and the guy who kidnaps her is getting some kid. The girl of today is a wonder.

PRESENTATION AT COURT. Two officials of the present administration are having troubles that will arouse in one and the other a mutual sympathy. Col. George Harvey, according to a London cablegram, is confronted with the most vexitaious problem that has fallen to him since he became ambassador of the United States to Great Britain. He has been given eight or ten complimentary tickets or invitations rather for the presentation of Americans at court this season. One of the most delicately diplomatic functions an envoy of this country at London has to perform is that of selecting the eight or ten out of a field of several hundred aspirants who shall be presented at court. It's especially a tough problem this year, with the presence in Europe of a brand-new crop of war millionaires, sensitive of their suddenly acquired social prerogatives. The official at home who is having troubles of somewhat similar nature is Attorney General Daugherty. This official also is preparing to present several Americans at court. The difference is that in the latter case the Americans are not at all anxious to be presented at court as in the former. Mr. Daugherty, however, is determined that they shall not miss the distinction which they have earned. He is not embarrassed by an invitation limit, as is Col. Harvey, and he expects

to overlook no candidate for court consideration if congress will supply him with grand juries and special agents to locate and bring forth the shrinkage violets who are to be presented.

THE RIGHT TIME. Does the man who swears his watch hasn't varied a second in months pester you? Does he smile every time you haul out the old double-

plated timepiece that was your grandfather's,'

and explain that his make of watch is the only really accurate one? Then rise up and use the short and ugly word. There is no such watch made by humans that does not either lose or gain from 30 to 60 seconds a month. If next he offers to prove it, you can blandly explain that his watch isn't actually perfect it merely is consistently wrong. 'And if your faithful turnip doesn't vary more than ten minutes in a year, you have as good a one as the most delicate time-registering mechanism fashioned by man. The unerring stars are the only constant clocks in all the universe. They have never been caught napping, and not yet has an astronomer detected one of them slipping ahead of schedule. They swing in their balanced orbits with an exact and perfect precision. When one of those shining worlds is due at a certain point in the heavens, it is there. Maybe it has had a million miles to travel to its destination, but the moment finds it on the dot. A million years hence, it will punch in on time again, just as it did a million years ago. Every star twinkling in the sky is a perfect clock, measuring in exact seconds the cycles of eternity.

FOREIGN VIEW OF SHIP SUBSIDY The testimony given by Edward P. Farley, one of the vice presidents of the Emergency Fleet Corporation, before the senate commerce and house merchant marine committees, holding a joint hearing on the ship subsidy bill, is interesting and important. Mr. Farley has just returned from Europe, where he investigated conditions in five maritime countries. The European view, as expounded by him, is, on the one hand, that the United States will be unable to expand its merchant marine without government aid and, on the other, that the American people have made up their minds to have an efficient merchant marine fleet and will use all the means in their power to see that it is given the necessary amount of encouragement. This, it must be conceded, is an accurate diagnosis of the situation. It is quite true that not only the administration, but also the American people as a whole are determined to keep the flag on the seas and cheerfully to submit to the infinitesimal taxation essential to the securing of that end. If the adoption of this course will, as alleged, bring about a diversion of business which will work to the disadvantage of foreign ships, it is evident that the American ships will be correspondingly benefited, and that, of course, is one of the main objects of the subsidy. At all events, it is not for an American to object, and the foreigner, accustomed probably to subsidy in his own country, can scarcely do so with any fair show, of reason. Besides, the eventual disadvantage is really problematic, for if foreign trade over the world were back on a normal basis, there would be cargoes and employment for every ship fit to sail. In any case, it is the obvious duty of the nation to see that its own merchant marine is, by subsidy or otherwise, established on a solid basis.
