ruffles at the wrist are the only other
trimming. This dress was made for Easter
wear, and the hat is also a very simple
affair, being merely one OF those popular
Alpine straws with silk loops and puffs
and a large bunch of osprey plumes. The

above is more elabora ate. II was made es-
pecially to wear with the hair done pompa-
dour, running up to point in front. The
trimming consists of the gigantic carna-

a bunch of aigrettes.

Eton jacket without sleeves need not lie
beyond the purse OF the average girl, and
with lace flounces for sleeves it makes u

of this character is made of red velvet.
It turns back in front in small revers
which are finished with fancy buttons. The
sleeves consist of four flounces of black
lace, and black lace flounCe edges the
lower part of the jacket. Black or plum
eolored velvet would be more seryiceable.
Another wrap is combination of silk
brOcade and pleated black mousseIine
There are sleeve caps of silk brocade
edged with two pIeated flounces, and
the back and front are of solid black
pleated mousseline. A pleated nous
sene collar flares out around the head

some loops of black velvet ribbon goes
with this wrap.

CHILDREN TAUGHT
THE RULES OF HEALTH.

The study of health and its practical aids
| and foes, is at last being taken up in the
public schools. There has always been a
certain amount of textbook physiology,
but children are very slow to apply what
they learn to everyday life, and theore tic
knowledge OF the bodily structure has for
them little connection with wading in
puddles aud eating soggy doughnuts.
Education is an abstract thing to be
Shut up between covers at 3 in the after
noon and joyfulIy forgotten until 9 the
next morning, and is no more "a part of
real life to them than the bare bones of
skeleton.
A practical health course will make their
know ledge concrete and personal-a living
reality W hich Will go with them NJ night to
homes sadly in need OF such presence
Someone has said, in more or less these
words: "AH the education in the world
is of no account if it does not teach you to
live better" The schools have been slow
to grasp this idea, but they are gradual Y
nearing it, They are giving up the idea
of education as goal post toward which
all must race at mad scramble, that they
may boast of having touched 1T when it has
been left behind; and the better conception,
which makes education the staff for every
day use in long journey, is beginning to
show in the improved school methods The
children are being taught to live as well as
to spell, and the first great lesson in the
art of living might be termed bodily com
mon sense.
1t is astonishing how little of this exists

of the course are in many cases the p1mph-

ing organization which breaches the doc
trine OF proper food, exercise and Che -
fulness.
The children are tnli in simple language
what are the elements of good food and OF
bad; what greasy fried things and poor
pastry do TO the blood and complexion; how
impure water brings disease.
They are taught which food makes muscle
and which brain and which fat, thar they
may use a wise proportiOn of each, and the
value of fruit especially sound, ripe apples,
is laid down with Ralstonian emphasis.
When child has been told just what
diphtheriais, and how going roundtn wet
feet prepares the way for it, his scorn for
rubbcrs diHinisheS, and the first time he
puts them on OF his own accord marks the
sprouting OF the seed of bodily common
sense.
Great emphasis is laid on breathing
through the nose as a means or avoiding
catarrh and infectious diseases, and the
why Of it al is described so clearly that
every child present screws up his mouth
with a firm resolve that 1t shall never
draw another breath.
The necessity of fresh air, sunshine and
exercise is explained, as well as the good
effects of bathing The value of this last
clause cannot be oyereStimated, for it
reaches "A class of people whose standard

No waItzins at the German Court

No WaItzfrG at the German Court
WaItzes are prohibited at the court Of
Berlin, as well as at the courts of most of
the minor rulers of Germany, and con-
sequentfy a great sensation has been
created among the younger generation
of the Teutonie empire by the announce-
ment that henceforth the ban against the
waltz is removed, as far as tine court OF
Wurttemberg is concerned This is due
to tie influence of the young queen, a
woman of rare beauty, who is passiDnarcly
fond of dancing, and who has been backed
up TN the matter by young Princess
Pauline, daughter of the king by his first
wife. and who, barred from the succession
to her fathers throne by the Salic law, is
destined one of these days to ascend tnat
of Denmark in consequence of her mar
riage to the eldest son of the crown
prince of that Kingdom.
The Queen and the princess joined in the
waltZes DIT the last court ball al Stuttgart
with manifest enjoyment, and hopes are
entertained at Berlin that the example
thus set will be followed at the court of
Emperor william. For the present the
polka and a slow sort of galop are the
only round dances tolerated there, the
waltz having been forbidden ever since
one of the young royal princesses was
tripped up by her partner and fell at the
very feet of the late Empress Augusta
while in the act of Waiting. The Empress
who was terrible despot on tile score of
etiquette, could not bear the idea of a
dance which could have the effect or plac-
ing princess of the blood in such an I'M
dignified position, and turning deaf ear
to all argum ents to the effect that the
mishap was due rather to the awkward
ness of the dancers than to the dance
itself, vetoed the appearance of the latter
henceforth on all programs of court balls.
