WHAT THE MEN THINK.

That the only independent woman
In the world is the one not afraid Of
her cook.
That whenever hat looks as
though it had been struck by a cy-
clone the milliner calls it picturesque.
That the saying that habits grow on
us seems verified by the appearance OF
the up-to-date equestrienne's costume.
That woman can forgive man al
most anything if he asks for the sec
end piece of the first pie she ever
made.
That new mode in woman's gar
ments suggests recently popular
work of fiction entitled Looking Back

That n woman doesn't want to be
called new, and she absolutely wakes
Indignant at being called old; in fact,
she is hard to please anyway.-Bostou

and has succeeded in convincing most
Of its customers that the notion is a
good one. The air about 100 feet above
the house tops is particularly good for
linen, say the proprietors, and they
accordingly send for shirts and collars
for balloon trip. Bamboo frames are
attached to u captive balloon, and the
linen, trough dry" is fixed to the
frames and sails away in the air. The
balloon makes six ascents daily. and an
extra charge is made for each article
that undergoes the treatment.

played Peg, not as pure eomedy--5he

able performance, taking it all in ali,
with its mixture Of gayety, wOmanli-
ness and emotion. Her portrayal of
Peg simply places another briina ant pic

JUDGE CHERRYs DECISION.

Judge Cherry believes IN vaccination,
but was not convinced that the law
permits the board OF health to enforce
it as "a sanitary precaution against a
threatened epidemic of smallpox. He
maintains. however. that the board has
the right TO enforce quarantine and to
make rules and regulations governing
the closing of schools. churches and
public places of amusement when such
a contingency as the present arises. It
would seem that the authority which
could close the schools could likewise
prescribe conditions under which those
schools could be opened. just as it can
impose conditions under which quar-
aUtine may be raised. If the board of
health decides that the Sunday schools
and public schools shall be closed UNI
der the present contingency. except I'M
der certain conditions, how can its
power be curtailed in specifying those
conditions

Gated in its name, the child garden.
\ garden is place for growth under

necessary conditions Of growth in any
garden. and cultivation is no less es-
seltial for the fullest Towering and
fruitage.
A kindergarten is not "a Merry go
round" for the amusement Of children,
neither is it a device for examining
innocent children with premature
knowledge. 1t is a place where living
and real children are treated as grow
ing plants with respect TO all the laws
Of natural development. 1t is a place
where the need of individual treat
ment is considered as the gardener
considers the peculiar needs Of rose and
lily and gives to each soil and sunshine
and care as required by the nature of
the plant.
The forcing process is foreign to the
true kindergarten, which does not de-
sire to produce dollhouse plants, even
if they bloom earlier. FrOebeTs
method is passive, observant. follow
