Entered at the postoffice at Winnet- ka, Illinois, as mail matter of the sec- =a class, under the act of March 3, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1923 QUEEN MARY'S DOLL HOUSE Queen Mary of England has been busy for months creating a doll house that shall be a perfect specimen of the builder's skill and of the art of the interior decorator. Reports of the little structure call it a perfect thing, a thing of beauty and a source of immense satisfaction to its royal creator. There is joy in making anything that is perfect. There is joy in creat- ing anything that is truly beautiful. But the pleasure that is being de- . rived by the Queen of England seems a small thing when one considers how the world is weeping because of want of those simple necessities of life, too often taken for granted by those to whom they come without seeking. England has been less seriously hurt by the war than any of the other countries concerned in it, except, of course, the United States, but England has a sufficient quota of misery and evil living conditions to occupy the time and thought of any royal lady who could contribute to their relief. ry's doll house recalls the lack of understanding of the ill starred queen of the French who saw no sense in 'the angry cries of the mob for bread. GOOD SENSE At least two of the young women who wege crowned queens in the "beauty contest held at Atlantic City fast summer have refused to have their heads turned by that bit of pub- licity. Repeated offers of the stage 'have been declined the girls refusing to permit the recognition of their phy- sical charm to interfere with their life plans. It isn't often that the flattery of be- ing singled out gs superior in any one quality can be accepted without bad effect. It is too often the most serious sort of misfortune, in the end, when such a prize is won. It gives to a quality that is only an accidental gift of nature an importance out of all pro- portion to the value that it actually holds. To be beautiful is nothing in itself. To use beauty as a commercial asset is not often worth what it costs. One can commend the beauty queens who decline to exhibit their beauty for profit, admiring the good sense which dictates such a course. DISRESPECT FOR THE BUDGET Congress has displayed no very keen pleasure in the the figures contained in the budget complied for the govern- ment by experts and accepted by the administration as the only way out of the muddle of our financial system and into a business scheme of govern- ment which will, in time, make the money paid into the public coffers by the people of the country do the work that it is intended to do. Disrespect for the budget by a mem- ber of the national legislative body ought to be looked upon by his con- stituents as complete evidence of his lack of those qualities that should mark a member of the government. It should point either to a headstrongness that refuses to accept the counsel of those who know more than the layman can know, or to a deliberate intention to set his own private interests above those of the country at large. Either characteristic should be enough to re- tire a man to private life. The price of food has gone down, according to recent compilations of domestic economists, but lest our joy mount too high, the statement is quali- fied by the report that rents are steadily mounting. It's as broad as it's long to those who are vainly looking for the cost of living to fall. Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. is to follow in the footsteps of his father and, ac- cording to his mother he has already signed a contract to head his own producing unit. Read the Want Ads HEAR PRIVATE PEAT ~ AT THE SUNDAY CLUB The rare opportunity of securing the world renowned Private Peat as speaker at the Wilinette Sunday Evening club brought about a change in the clul's program for February 18. The Phil- harmonic quartet, scheduled to pro- vide the programs for this Sunday, will appear instead, on March 4, and Private Peat will have the "stage" this Sunday. "World Peace" will be Private Peat's subject. He is an interesting speaker and has a very notable war record. He is an Irish-Canadian by birth who enlisted in British Columbia at the beginning of the World war, and was one of the first to enlist in Canada. He was in action at the front at a time when the Germans were making their most determined drives. On several occasions he was seriously wounded and has been decorated for bravery by all the allied nations. He is the author of a book entitled "Priv- ate Peat," which is one of the most popular stories growing out of the war. Judging by the enthusiastic re- ception accorded Private Peat in Chi- cago last week, where he spoke before several large audiences, the Sunday Evening club program of February 18 should be one of the most attract- ive of the season. o% Te FORD REPAIRING Skokie Motor Co. 712-714-716 Elm Street Winnetka Authorized FORD Dealers vg! a Razor Blades Sharpened Mail us your old dull safety razor blades. ; We will sharpen them like new and mail back to you.
