CHILDREN'S TASTES.

Give Them as Much Freedom In Matters
of Dress as Possible.
The old fashioned idea that there was
something sinful in pretty clothes, or
that one was pandering to vanity and
folly in consulting the taste in matters
of dress, has passed away. There is no
possible harm in allowing a little girl
who has ideas of her own to have con
siderable freedom in the choice Of her
belongings. She should be guided, of
course, by the means at hand and by the
Judgment of older people as to the util-
ity Of what she chooses. But it is a cru
city to compel her to wear anything
which she instinctively dislikes as old
fashioned and ugly when it is just as
easy toget her something that will please
her fancy and in which she will never
feel Ill at ease.
The proverbial case of n Of the
dweller of the city may be, after all, sug-
gests the New York Tribune, but a con-
seriousness Of appearing well, while the
awkwardness of his country brother may
just as naturally be due to a conscious
ness Of i'll fitting attire. The term ur-
banity, which originally meant city bred
has in its natural sequence come to mean
a tranquil and polished demeanor. Now,
If you wish to make a little girl awk-
ward, dress her against her own protests
In clumsy attire. Not all the teachers
of department. can overcome the shyness
that will be bred of her young impress
sions. No wise personscan fail to appre-
ciate the value of ease and polish Of man
ner. It takes years sometimes to over
come the self consciousness which be
gins in childhood as the result of this
kind of petty household tyranny, which
utterly overlooks the individuality and
tastes Of the child and consults only the
convenience Of the moment.
Let the little daughters and sons of
the house have rooms of their own as
soon as they are able to take proper care

faithfully than in English or French pa
pers, with the big beaver hat, long hair,
cadaverous features, swallowtailed coat
and other accessories, much as u own

Americans recently from Mexico say that
these cartoons correctly present the popular

general notion is that we Americans are
just burning with anxiety to get more Mex

The prominence of cigarette smok-
ing women in modern fiction, es-
pecially in dealing with the refined pro-
ducts Of civilization on the Continent,
must have been noticed. If smoking
by women were one of the commones6
and most natural things in the life at
great European centres, we should
not be surprised, but we do not be-
lieve it is yet so common, at least as a
public practice. as the fiction writers
would show. We think that the
novelist is attracted to the cigarette
smoking women rather because there
is an element of irregularity about
her, something new, somewhat
startling to American readers, and
therefore likely to take.
There is no question that cigarette
smoking is common among h "hne
ladies" of Europe, and particularly in
that class from which Marion Craw-
ford has drawn some of his characters.
The curious but pure creature who
ran away with Don Orsino's heart, he
first met in a studio, where she was
sitting for her portrait. When fati-
gued with sitting she borrowed a
cigarette, placed herself carelessly on
a divan, smoked with Don Orsino and
the artist, and talked suggestively.
in Crawford's latest, 1.-THE Children
of the King the languorous, suberb-
ly lazy Marcllesa calls for a cigarette
whenever she is introduced upon the
scenes, and her daughter, the heroine.
who is credited with a noble heart
and head. falls into line and smokes
after dinner.
Paul Bourget, the talented young
psychological novelist of France, al
most always has cigarette-smoking
IN In his latest, "Cosmopolis,"
the scenes of which are laid in Rome
and in which he makes the people
who are good for anything turn out
unhappy and the soulless creatures
survive their troubles, be has a galaxy
of cigarette-sInoking females. Mrs.
Humphrey Ward did not resist the
temptation to add to the picturesque
effects of the pretty French artist who
nearly wrecked the life of David
Grieve, by frequently putting a cigar
cite in her mouth.
Ard SO it goes with our mod ern
novels, not particularly the worst, but
the best. The cigarette practice is
not fixed upon characters for the sake
of making them appear bad evidently,
for some of them are intended to be
particularly good. The apparent pur-
pose of the novelists in SO frequently
and conspicuousIy calling attention
to the cigarette is to make the charac-
tiers striking-give them a quality
which will seem loud" without being
wicked.
> All these days, when woman is ris-
ing to assert her equality with man in
every line of activity, we know of no
great reason why women have not as
much right to smoke cigarettes as
men if they want to. Apparently a
great many want to. But whether it
is going to add anything to the female
character for the purposes of the
novel. is a serious question. The con
spicuous cigarette will SOC get tire
some and lose its effect as an index of
character,

Weakly infants have been miracu-

hood or girlhood through its in
strumentality. 1t is not infre-
quent to find that nearly all the
physical ills of life r the bane
of iuvenility--the inheritance, for
the most part, of ancestral weak
ness. Very often the heredita-
ment is distinctly traceable to an
invalidated father or sickly
mother. A year or two, at any
rate, of Johann Hofys Malt Elk
tract would be sufficient to allay
the worst fears and build up a
constitution equal to the strong

child taking JohanngRsH off Malt
Extract has been known to be SO
sensitive of its beneficial action
that a father driven into nervous
debility by the worries and
anxieties of life has found it a
wonderful restorative, and the
constant donor of his requisite
