Supt. c. NJ. Bardwell, of East Au.

tion at Harper's theatre this morn.
ing. Teachers Meetings was the
general topic, and was first
taken up by County Supt. H
P. Caverly, OF Galena, who con.
sidered teachers meetings one Of the
most important auxiliaries of our
educational fabric, the instrumen,
and media Of reforms in the schoo
room, and the only source from
which individual tests and practical
dem onstrations can be effectually
made. Yet all depends upon how
these teachers meetings are con.
Quoted. Prof. Caveriy cited his own
10 Davies county-as an instance,
and which he hoped was an excep
ton to the rule. of the
meeting being formerly charac
terized rs a day Of recreation and
barren OF educational results. This
was due to the impracticaoility
OF the subjects presented, and
a.. f..x%o.e;oc I'D :,.o:
billy of the teachers. He then
entered into . discussion of the
plans Of the superintendent for con-
Quoting these meetings. and severely
criticised the habits of preparation
for the meeting. the result OF which
is merely . very pleasant time, q
combustion Of farce and tragedy.
The speaker then told how, afte,
witnessing many of these exhibited
and realizing the necessity of a revo.
luton, he took notes of weak points.
wrong methods of instruction and
discipline, errors of emission and
commission, and then made them
the sole topics Of teachers meetings.
Since then the paper has been aban-
doned in 10 Daviess county. and the
teachers are working on . mutual
business basis. Each teacher must
stand or fall according to the faith
and ability he possesses. The exsr-
cises are now OF . practical nature,
Consisting Of . thorough drill in
what there is most deficiency, and an
exempli6cation Of the work as it is
now done In the school rooms. O.
well - what may be expected in the
future. Prof. Caverly desired to i'm
press upon the teachers minds that
the meetings are designed for the
improvement Of the schools and not
for . mere holiday. that they are
there for instruction and mot for
entertainment. In elaborately cen
structed papers. the speaker had 10
faith and he conten3ed. they gther-

while he favored their study, i
should be under certain general re
strictions. The first OF these relate
to the scholarship and experience o
the corps of teachers and the secont
to the scholarship and common sense
After an extended further discussion
Mr.. Greenman summarized his view.
in this manner:
First. There ahould be a teach.
ers' meeting. It's absence betrays q
lack OF interest and professional
spirit, both on the part of the super.
intendendent. who neglects to organ.
ize it, and the teachers, who in it,
absence. fail to bring to bear the
pressure necessary to secure it.
Second. As means of best econ.
omizing the time and energy Of ali
concerned, department. meetings
should be held, in which the work OF
particular grades may be discussed
oy those especially interested.
Third. These department meet
ings should be merged in a general
meeting as often as once q month.
Tor the treatment of matters pertain
ing to the school as . whole, and as q
means OF unifying the school senti-
ment.
Fourth. In all grades below the
High school the aim should be to in
sure the familiarity of the teacher
with the subject matter of the
branches taught, and the best meth
DDS OF instruction; to arrange plans
OF work for the month; to secure an
appreciation of the relation of each
grade to that above and below it.;
and to instill as much knowledge Of
the science Of education as the Ca
pacity Of the teacher to understand
and apply will warrant.
Fifth. In the High school and
and principals sections psychology
and pedagogy should be studied -
sciences: thus "making experience
rational" and stimulating profess
sional spirit.
sixth. Teachers' meetings should
not ordinarily be held oftener than
once q week. nor held longer than an
hour-and-a-half. say from 4:l5 to
TO $50 or 5:45 after school. Ex-
cePt where other arrangements are
impossible they should not be
neid Saturdays; that day should be
sacred to the odds and ends of edu-
cation and to-the bicycle. 4.
Seventh. While the expense in
CURED BY thsDs meetings should not
be burdensome. teachers should be
educated into the habit Of spending
money for books and lectures bear
ing upon their profession.
Finally. The teachers meeting
should DO . centre of correlation for
the school interests Of teachers. pu-
pills and parents. It should also be
. point Of radiation from which
should emanate reverence for child
hpod, respect for the community.

James Avery, the man arrested in
Rock Island for circulating counter

years in the penitsntiary by Judge
Grosscup, in the United States court

Time was when colored kid shoes

match, and it is not to be denied that
soft, pliable kid is preferable in every
way to satin, except perhaps for even
ing slippers. A brand new idea is the

gold leather turning down from the
top and forming a square across the
instep. 1t is matched by gilt heel.

is singularly effective and much worn.

Crepe dc Chine Leads.
Lightning Pattern Which Is Displayed in Sew
eral Colors.
special Correspondence of the Globe

Special Correspondence of the Globe.
NEW YORK, July 22.-Everything is
crepe de Chine, that is, everything in
which that material can be utilized.
The newest patterns are responsible
for this, and the one which 1 think is
the best is a pattern which nothing
else can describe more clearly than the
word lightning" There are two or
three colors of this pattern. One is on
a white surface with waved lines of
two shades of green and black. An
other charming combination of color is
i'll two shades of red with black lines
on white ground. On a white ground
again there are two or three mauves
alternating with a black design.
A pattern crepe de Chine is very
successfully used, for the sake of a
little variety, in place of foulard. 1t
makes charming garden party frock
for instance, trimmed with a vest of
soft white GSSe, or lace insertions of
either white or black. In all the years
that L have known anything about
fashions, l never have seen crepe de
Chine approach anything like it's pres
ent popularity. What is more, it seems
to be anything but a fieeting fashion.
There is a gauze with a new title to
be seen. 1t is called gaze diaboli-
que" 1t has a course canvas ground
with an open work pattern in black
and white upon it. This same pattern
is charming in either blue, red OF. green.
I notice that the gauzes mostly have
a canvas foundation with a broken de-
sign running over their surface. A
pretty blue with a green design is eff
fective, black and white exercises it's
perennial charm, and there are several
plaid gauzes of the gayest colors, with
the plaid used as a back ground and
a design of silk intruding it's influence
over this in two or three colors.
The very handsomest gown of crepe
de Chine which 1 have seen thus far
this season was of cream color over
pale blush pink silk The bodice had
rows of real Valenciennes insertion let
in on each side of the front, with a
putting of silk muslin between The
sleeves were slightly fulled on the
seam, and at the top was a small
!.bouffant with an epaulette of pink
silk, almost hidden with Louis XVI
knot made of the Valenciennes inser-
ton. On each side of the skirt at the
top was a similar but much larger
knot, made of wider insertion. the
ends falling toward the back Of the
shirt, the crepe of the skirt cut away
under those arrangements to show the.
pale pink through.
There are some lovely new brocades
perhaps the best being those with a
suggestion of a lace pattern outlined
with dark satin on a pale ground
There is one Of these with a pale red
and white shaded ground, a pattern in
dark red and white upon it, another
in mauve and pearl color being equally
attractive. Then there is a range Of
Colors showing roses in pale tints with
broad stems. Very pleasing brocades
show carnations all of one color on a
ground to match. This pattern is at
Its happiest on silver grey, and on sill
yer grey, too, there is a capital design
in small lilies.

QUIET WEDDINGS IN ORDER.
Brides Show a Strong Tendency To-
ward Economical Ideas.

1t is decreed that the summer bride
will have many maids to follow her
to the altar. In fact. one fashionable
bride-elect has invited ten Of her best
girl friends to sit in the front pews
during the ceremony; they will wear
white and be her bodyguard in a meas
ure, but they will not escort her either
to or from the chancal. She will go
IN with her elder brother and come
back with her husband. She will stand
at the foot of the chancel until she mas
been united to her betrothal; then they
advance up the steps of the chancel TO
the minister, the ten bridesmaids in
front of the church standing as bride
and groom pass out: 1t is considered
more artistic for the bride to be the
central feature, and not be contrasted
with others. This is why it is decreed
she shall stand at the altar. the only
woman among the black coats of the
men.
If she doesn't wish to hurt the feel
ings of girl friends by ignoring them let
her do as this bride will do--ask them to
sit in front and wear her uniform.
Large receptions after the ceremony
are getting less in vogue. Whatever is
TO be done IN a social way awaits the
pairs return from their honeymoon.
TO go travelling to large cities on, ones
honeymoon is not good form That
sentimental period must be spent III
some quiet town or country place. or
maybe some picturesque wayside inn.
Even if the pair are fortunate enough
to have a European trip in store for
them it is taken after the honeymoon
period OF two weeks is ended And
who would want TO get acquainted with
ones husband, suffering from seasick-
ness and looking ugly and white as a
ghost? Not girl with g bit of vanity
nd
much vanity is S necessary to d person
as salt to an egg. 1t gives flavor and
relish TO the person.
The bridal gown is not so elaborate
as formerly. 1t is of exquisite texture,
but made plain, perfectly. The train
does not need to be carried by pages,
and the bodice should be high-necked
and with long sleeves. No jewels should
be worn, and the veil, unless an heir

but she wears at the left side of her
head knot of these flowers
The new wells have short piece over
the face. which is thrown back as she
comes out of the church.
Elaborate trousseaus are also going
out. The most frivolous of women even
have found that fashions change tco
quickly, and the majority of social de-
mandS are not sufficient to require any
great outlay of costumes.

hams and shirt waists. She is not sup
posed to be marrying man that can

with great success. There are also rectified
spirits of tar. fat oil and turpentine. Tur-
pentne is preferred by workmen, and is most
in use in workshops and factories. Amateurs
who only paint occasionally should not buy
more than quart at a time, for it grows fat
by standing and becomes unfit for use except
for fat oil. The best quality can be had
at the paint stores where there is a greater
demand for it than at the druggists. so there
is no danger of getting that which is old and

The sight of the hundreds of happy
children, and the handsome youths
ana pretty maidens, all offspring of
these unions, which 1 had assisted in
making, was almost sufficient in itself
to fill my cup of happiness, for it
afforded me the greatest qualification.
"A little incident of the day occurs
TO me. During the Afternoon address
delivered by Mr.. Yeager, of Waterloo
the speaker asked who among the
men had never spoken a hard word
to their wives. A hand was raised in
the audience, and on looking closely.

luncheon was partaken of in the grove
IN picnic fashion, and it was along
in the afternoon before the start was
made for various homes, every one de-
claring that the reunion was one Of
the most enjoyable events of their
lives. w. L. Meese."

Gauze ribbons are much used in trimming
the thin gowns, in bows and in sashes. The
Puritan says: 1t is considered particularly
good style to have the gauze sash in black
on a colored gown or in some little peculiar
ity which might escape the casual eye, but
which makes much for style. The colored
gauze sashes are not of ribbon at all. but
are made 1t is only in black that the rib
bon is permissible. One white gown, made
of chiffon and trimmed in fine lace insertion,
which is put on in wheels, has sash of
bright green chiffon edged on the bottom
with corded tucks and three little fine friils.
These sashes are about 10 inches in width.
