In planning school girls wardrobe
the first thing to be considered is the
individual type. Girls who need red
should never be forced to wear blue,
nor lean girls "slinky" things, nor fat
girls bunchy ones. Then if missy has
outgrown her years, run up like a pale
tomato plant in the shade, her spindling
shanks should be covered by skirts
sufficiently long to hide them. They
will make her look older, of course but
what is that compared to the fact that
two little timid legs no longer feel
themselves the center of a hooking
universe-the wind has been tempered
to the shorn lamb.
The bevy of dainty school girls here
pictured will offer admirable ;sugges-
lions for the awkward, age, The pretty
costumes are not intended for school
use alone. They are equally suited to
the afternoon promenade, visiting and
matinee wear, and, remember that not
the least important details of the school
trousseau are a pretty macintosh and
umbrella. . ts

AGUINALDO IS DEAD.


NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-Benjamin Ide
Wheeler, president of the University of Cal
ifornia, who is staying at the Waldorf
Astoria Hotel, has received information
from secret sources in the Philippines to
the effect that Aguinaldo Is dead, and that
his death occurred no less than six weeks
ago. The news has been kept secret by
Aguinaldos followers, it is said, for the
purpose of prolonging the rebellion, since ii
was believed that the news of the chiefs
death would cause such encouragement
and alarm that an utter capitulation would
result.
President Wheeler received this news
through several Filipino children who have
been placed in his care by their parents.
Two are the sons Of Buencamino, wealthy
citizen of Manila, who. before the advent
of the Americans in the Philippines had
been an active Leader of rebellion against
the Spanish. President Wheeler also has
in his charge the children of Midel. the
Governor of Mindanao. and several other
boys, whose parents are of the wealthy
class.
In speaking Of the reported death of the
chief insurrectionist, President Wheeler
said: ''These boys of mine. as I may call
them, receive frequent communications
from their parents and friends at home.
The information which was obtained con-
cerning the death of Aguinaldo 1 under
stand, came from secret and trustworthy
sources, and is probably true. The father
OF two of these boys is Buencamino,
wealthy citizen OF Manila. who, before the
Americans came, was most active In the
rebellion against Spain. 1 understand he
was a close friend OF Aguinaldo, and has
kept in touch with that remarkable per-
sonage, even after Buencamino himself
took a neutral stand. Buencamino, how
ever, did not take firm stand on the side
OF America until recently.
These Filipino lads" continued Presi-
dent Wheeler. ARE bright fellows and most
quick to learn. However. 1 cannot say
that they have the stanchness and solidity
OF American youth. Before the flag of this
country was raised In the islands such
boys as these would have been sent to
the schools OF Spain for their graduate
studies. Now they come TO us. They have
already received some instruction at the
hands Of the Jesuits at home. In order
10 fit them for the university it was neces-
sary to place them in preparatory schools.
Other families are also making arrange
