MODERN YOUNG MEN.

A NEW ZEALAND GIRL'S VIEWS.

Discussing the modern young man in the course of an article which appeared in a London daily, the Hon. Joan Ogilvie Grant, daughter of Lord and Lady Strathspey, formerly of Wellington, New Zealand, considers that "our elders don't lcnow what they are talking about when they attempt to criticise youth. It is almost, impossible for 'Fifty' to judge 'Twenty : one' impartially, first because they don't see life itself from the same standpoint. "One generation can never be judged by another because the whole atmosphere and mode of living changes so vastly in 30 years. We must each work our passages through life independently. "I am positive the modern young man works a great deal harder than his predecessors, because the job of making money is such an absolute necessity nowadays," she continues. "I admire him for his talent, artistic and literary; his ftttfljty to create a name for himself *jby~;pure originality alone. Most especially I admire liim for the splendid way lie worked during the general strike, and for the quiet, peaceful way c SoT re d things on, while disaster was ?° hand.
