lacks and positive misdeeds. Among
them is the fact that she does not
bring up her children properly, that
she leaves them when young to SER
wants; when older grown she lets her
sons go as they will and encourages
and indeed eggs on her daughters to
make marriages just with an idea to
station and wealth, and this last ale

1t was only the other day that Amer.
lean women were taken to task be-
cause they fill the theaters when more
than doubtful plays are produced, and
accused of keeping the stage on a low
moral plane because of their en-
couragement of such plays. Also the
voice of rebuke is raised now and
again on account of womens devotion
to bridge whist playing and wine
drinking. The description of toilets,
jewels, fal-lals of all sorts lavishly
published in society journals seem to
prove the charge of extravaganza in
spending on the non-essentials. The

those who bewail the physical ails in

However, 1t makes 10 difference to the
fashionable woman that she Is told
that both nerves and muscles suffer
because she will wear a threeinch
heel, that she Is far more liable to

a sensible low-heeled shoe. Even
the fact that she perforce adopts a
hobbling gait fails to shake her deter.

Thank goodness there remains the
large class of sensible women who will
have none of these things, who spend
time and care on their children, who
attend the theater only when a good
play is on the boards, who think, act
and clothe themselves sensibly.

S. l.. Oberholtzer, who, according to
the Woman's Tribune has spent the
last Is years in furthering the school
savings bank system. especially in the
United States and Canada, although
she has through personal addresses or
letter advocated the idea in 40 other

to school savings banks are of great
interest Ii Is estimated that In 1900
of the public schools in the United
States 170,67S scholars have saved
and deposited s1,51S,57S. This covers
80 states. In England the system has
been encouraged by the passage of the
Free Educational act In 1891, which
offered children the opportunity to
save, through both card and stamp

e 1,000650. School savings banks
are maintained In all public schools OF
France and Belgium, and in many
private schools In most European coun-
tries.
