RUINBD BY A RIBBON. -
Speaking of the recent winding up
of the famous Zoar community In Ohio
a man quoted by the Cleveland [leader
says: “It was all on account of a piece
of ribbon. One of the things that the
peoplevof Zoar foreswore when tbev
settled there was gaudy raiment. They
dressed themselves In somber colors.
and ornaments were unthought of. As
long as that plan was adhered to Zoar
was safe, but when the people got to
going there from the cities to board
at the hotel the beginning of the end
was Inaugurated.
“It was the law of the community
that all the earnings of the people were
to be turned Into the common treasu-
ry. and that nobody was to have a
cent to spend for his pennant benefit
or pleusurs. The trustees did all the
buying. an everything was owned In
common.
"After awhile however. the girls
who worked at the store began to get
presents of money from visitors. and
one of them one day took a few cents
out of the change she had received
and' bought a piece of ribbon.
"It was like introducing the measles
It was catching. and presently the oth-
er girls hegsn to come out In glorious
. colors.
"The deadly work had been done.
The trustees were powerless. Girls who
were not fortunate enough to be as-
signed to work at the hotel went away
—-ont into the world-Hind It was not
long until the boys began to follow
them.’
GIRL LIKE TO B BI‘ARED AT.
"To say it is manners to stare
streets Is too sweep-
' said an old clubman
angels. "Bad manners are primarily
manners that give annoyance to others
and an honest stars of respectful ad-
miration does not necessarily fall with-
in tbut category. It does not excite
real. sure enough bonn hde wrath In
the feminine breast. Yesterday after-
noon for instance. a young lady In
while passed through a shopping dis-
trict to perfect fusilade of stares. Her
gown was plain. but chic beyond dia-
criptlon. Her belt was caught In front
by n silver dolphin. Her hat was gar’
nlrhed with two white doves' wings
and a big black bow. She was the in-
carnation of youth and grace and bean-
ty. and she attracted stares‘as Irresia‘
tibly as a magnet attracts steel Slings.
"As she glided along she left a trail
of hypnotised onlookers. Dudes swal-
lowed their cigarettes. and staid men
of affairs stopped in the middle of sea-
tences and forgot what they were talk-
ing about. When she boarded a St.
Charles street car the conductor star-
ed at her In blissful stupefaction and
rang up nearly 8: worth of Imaginary
fares before he recovered his faculties.
Several passengers were carried beyond
their destlnntlrm because they couldn't
stop staring long enough to see the
streets But was the young lady angry?
