She Should Know Something About
the Artistic Things of Life.
" HE wise modern mother, to thor
oughly educate her daughter spares
nothing TO awaken in her the ap-
= probation OF what is most latent in
her nature. She is bound to work
out her natural bent herself. II she Is nat
uraily a bookworm her course in sports
is severe and systematic.
II she has no ear for music, she is at
least thoroughly grounded in the meaning
OF music. hears all there is and does not
herself leave the paino until she has mt
least some realization OF the works OF
of the masters, and their methods.
Her study OF the arts OF painting and
sculpturing is equally thorough, as far
as knowledge OF the principal schools and
of the best work goes. 1t is not what
they can accomplish In the way of pic
ture making. musical performance, or golf
drives-they all may be markedly mediocre,
even inferior.
But 1t Is the critical and intellectual
view of life that they acquire. that is the
habit OF all cultured men and women of
the world. A dilettante is always charm
ing to know, however impracticany OF use
In the world she may be.

The New Calling Card.

An effort Is being made by those who
iesire variety to introduce the fashion
n vogue thirty years ago of having names
On calling cards put in Roman letters.
Bowling sweils have their cards engraved
in this style. 1t is more expensive than
the OldfashiOncd script. Certain con-
seryativcs of the fashionable world look
askance at these cards engraved in Roman
letters. for. no matter how exquisitely
they are executed, they suggest at first
glance common printing. However, II
you wish to lie very fit. have thin card
