Brushing the Hair.

The very best brushes should al
ways be chosen, and at the very least
one hundred strokes a day should be
vigorously administered. The bris-
ties of the brush should not be so
hard as to drag the hair out in case
of a tangle obstructing their course.
Nor should they be yielding. It is
useless to brush the hair unless the
skin of the head be brushed as well.
The friction stimulates it and makes
the hair grow. Brushing the hair
with slow and languid strokes is
simply useless. Vigor and intention
are necessary to produce a really
good effect and induce the bright,
healthy gloss that hair should have

The New Mother.

The other day the dean of n
of the largest of our colleges for
women made an impassioned appeal
to young mothers not to waste their
time in the personal care of their
babies, but to give them over to
trained nurses and kindergartners,
while they devoted themselves to
study. and such outside work as
would fit them to be companions for
their children when they were grown.
Nothing can be more convincing
than her reasoning, and there is but
one objection to her plan-that it
doesn't work.
It is a most disheartening fact
that none of plans, however sci
entifc or reasonable, which run
counter to Nature, ever does work.
About twenty years ago, for in
stance, some philanthropic folk in
England founded model homes for
the female children of poor, depraved
parents. The girls we're reared, so
to speak, in bulk. They dressed
alike, they ate the same food at the
same moment, they walked, slept,
rose, studied, played and prayed in
mass at the tap of a bell. Especial
care was taken, for fear of favorit-

intercourse between them and their
teachers out of school. The habits,
knowledge and religion taught to
them were warranted to be of the
best.
But when these girls, being grown,
were sent into homes as nurses of
children, they invariably were sent
back as incompetent and cruel. The
human element in them was with
cred and dead for want of the family
life. The experimenters openly ac-
knowledged that the training in un-
selfshness and in affection was bet
ter under even a careless mother and
father than under no father and
mother at all.
A few years ago DR.. Louis Starr,
the eminent American specialist for
children, discovered a new disease
among them. The baby patients
grew bloodless and weak, and died
with no apparent ailment. They
were invariably the children of
wealthy mothers who had refused to
nurse them, but fed them on some
food which science declared perfect.
Science was again mistaken and Ma
ture avenged the slight put upon
her.
If the college-graduate mothers
follow the advice of their dean, their
children will lose something out of
their lives which no nurse nor kim
dergartner can give.
Will the boy of fifteen, when the
devil tempts him, be most likely to
go for help to the brilliant COM
panion who understands politics and
civic reform, or to the little fond
woman who always sang him to sleep
on her breast and knelt beside him
while she taught him to speak to
God?
And if the college-graduate moth
er takes the deans advice she will
suffer more than does the child. The
fact is that her first business in the
world is to be a mother. She may
incidentally be an artist, a politi-
clan, or a sea-captain if she will.
But Nature made her in mind and
body to be a mother. Even as a
wife she is a subordinate; she fills
the second place. But when she
gives a child to the world and trains
it, her work is nearer akin to that
of God than any other done by man.
If she prefer meaner duties, she will,
by just so much, belittle herself and
her life.
Even the dean of a woman's col
lege does not know so well what is
good for her as her God and her

WOMAN'S WORK
Fashion Hints for Winter.

Velvet, velveteen, and corduroy
costumes are among the seasons
smartest modes.
An excellent choice for street at
tire is a fabric showing a shaggy,
hairy texture, such as zebeline or
camePs-hair.
The sloping or drop-shoulder eff
feet is seen in many of the newest
bodices; and the Duchess closing is
a distinctive feature of the newest
shirt-waists.
At last a change has come in
skirts, which for the street are no.
ticeably shorter; there is a marked
tendency to give up the furbelows
and ruf1es and adopt the severer
tailor-made models. The hip yoke
is a feature of the majority of the
new skirts.
The boa is a picturesque stole, and
cape collars of every shape and depth
are prominent among the seasons
fashions.
Among the innovations in mate
rails are the metallic tints and eff
fects in heavy, rough cloths, zibe-
lines, vigognes, homespuns, etc., and
Coronation CLOTH" a heavy winter
goods suitable for skating, golf, etc.
Long nap plush is being revived
this winter, and Pompadour silks as
a foundation for net, chiffon and
other sheer textiles are established in
high favor.
Among the smartest accessories of
the toilette are a tall stock-collar,
cuffs and belt-girdle, preferably of
a contrasting material
Embroidery is very prominent in
all the fashions.
One of the latest novelties en-
ployed in trimming for tailor-made
gowns is suede undressed kid-skin.
A unique trimming is the new
cloth ribbon embroidered in Oriental
colors.-From The Delineator for

habit; how using incorrect expressions
repeatedly the nearer becomes accus-
toned to the form, and in time
would consider them as correct. He
showed the Importance Of correct and
exact English in all legal matters:
how litigations involving thousands
of dollars are caused by the ambiguous
use OF single word. The vocabulary
OF ordinary people is very limited. 1t
should be the aim Of every student to
be dOle to use correctly many different
words and this can be gained only by
careful and persistent use of the
dictionary. We are judged by our
language and rated accordingly. We
meet person for The first time ana
we ,unconsciously measure. him by
what he says. These are only few
OF the many facts emphasized by Mr..
Brazeau. The talk was practical and
right to the point; no theory but all
real practice. The teachers and
pupils appreciated the talk, and hope
that they may have the pleasure of
again listening to Mr.. Brazeau in the
near future. The address by Mr..
Brazeau was the first of series which
Supt.. Youker has planned for this
school year.

Theo. Brazeau gave the school an
interesting talk on the use Of

day. This shows how much interest
is taken in the school work by out
siders.

current topics at the T. B. Scott
library two hours Tuesday afternoon.
1t is planned to take section of the
class to the library one afternoon
every other week and thus continue
the work throughout the year.

of more favorable results as our team
is strong and capable one with
Kenneth Kelley as captain.
A series Of library readings have
been adopted for the first time in the
High school in order to secure more
outside reading work. This will be
carried on from the fifth grade up
ward to the senior year. The third
and fourth years are to read mostly
books of historical foundation among
which are some of the new Historical
