Tours That Will Be Taken by Prominent
Society Women.

Nearly every woman "in society" has an
out-of-town home, and will spend part OF
the summer there. But ii Is the society
custom not to confine ones self too
closely TO ones country home. but to
visit a little. travel little. and go ex-
plotting for points OF interest.
Beginning the first OF July. Mrs. Pot
ter Palmer will close up her home on
the boulevard. Chicago. and will start
on tour around the world. During the
Worlds Fair she made many engage
ments to visit on foreign shores: and this
tour Is partly to fulfill such engagements
and also to complete certain studies OF
women's work begun during the Chicago
gathering. Mrs PaJmers trip will be
more than half work and Will extend
over nearly twelve months.
Another woman who will leave her
lovely summer home, for travel which
will be beneficial to others besides her
self, is Miss Helen Could. Miss Gould Is
now in Europe. When she returns she

American Girls.

An English girl travelling without her
mother or old friend may be safe, but
she Is looked at little askance by we'll
bred people, as i have constantly no.
ticed Why? Because II is assumed that
having had the usual English education.
she is either not At to take entire charge
az herself or--it Is too late to matter.
An American girl travelling alone is
not looked at askance; people may not
quite know why, but they recognize the
custom of the country. the truth is,
in America. where education, like most
other things, is ahead of us, girls are
canable of taking care or themselves.
and they habitually do SO take care.
In most girls schools, so j am inform
ed. there are physiological classes held

raining to physical life. When the girl

her age: | prefer TO put II Off for year

classes are always adequate but 1 say
they are a safeguard and preparation:
the principle is wholesome and reasona-
bic. and the girl receives at least GER
tain amount Of knowledge OF the world
in a grave. decent, open, and honorable
manner. which enables her to recognize
a pltfall when IL comes. and saves her
from at any rate laundering into ruin.-

The Tailor Made Girl.

A word to the young woman who
affects masculine dress. Nothing could
be more becoming to many faces than
crisp linen and the severe lines of the
tailor-made gown, but along with these
manly fashions there should be adopted
masculine ideas about the freshness or
linen and perfection of fit. There is no
beauty in the new order Of feminine at
tire but it's "spick and spanness." Ii Is
pardonable that a young woman should
want to look like a well-dressed man,
but IL she is not willing to conform to
the strict requirements of the situation
she would better return to the silks and
muslins OF her grandmotherS.
