Parlor Polo Now.

Parlor polo is second in favor only
to ping-pong Being introduced just
after the ping-pong rage began. Ii did
not meet with the same popularity it
would otherwise have enjoyed during
the Lenten weeks. AS polo is. more
over, rather an aristocratic game, its
devotees are naturally not so numer-
GUS as those of ping-pong.
The parlor game has all the features
of outdoor polo except that it is played
with sticks instead of ponies. The
players straddle the sticks and follow
the regular tactics Of the sport. This,
of course, pre-supposes an acquaint-
ance with the game. Some Of the sets
provided by the hostesses include
sticks ornamented with the heads OF
ponies, but as a rule ordinary sticks,
or, in an emergency, canes, are good
enough for the sport-New York Sun.

All arguments to the contrary not

"womans place is the home" the
best thing for the girl in the ordinary
walks of life to do is by education to
prepare herself so that if necessity
comes she can make her own living
At a recent charity conference it was
stated that the demand for skilled
workers among girls and women
largely exceeds the supply In many
industries in New York City. Here are
some of the lines aside from school
teaching and nursing open to women:
Girls and women TO trace, and en-
grave silver and to work in the glass
and jewelry departments of the shops
but trained women workers are not to
be had in those lines; trained helpers
for dressmakers (very few to be had
and dressmakers have not the time to
train the novice) girls and women as
trained needle workers and girls and
women as trained c9sks. There is al
ways place for the good cook, and
hOuseholders say the supply does not
equal the demand. The trade schools
are doing much to supply the demand
in the other lines It must not be for
gotten that the girl who has once mas
tered any of these lines always has an
occupation to fall back on. In these
