preston. The youth should first be
well drilled in the use Of the pen in the
various movements and always have
prominently before him a copy of the
various systems and the chances are
that at a proper age the pupil will
write nice, neat and individual hand
that will be of some use to him. No
matter if an exclusive system is taught,
the pupil will acquire a characteristic"
hand, something in which there is In
dividuality, without which no sort OF
education is what it should be. We
should strive as much to bring out In
dividuality as to put knowledge into
the mind. Some teachers as we'll as
some parents, seem to think that

us IT TRUE?

Newton News.]
The question breaks in upon ones
mind as to whether this particular sea-
son of the year is not especially con-
ducive to confidence in their parishion-
ers on the part Of those preachers who
are liable to be moved by the confer
ence.
The preacher gives his last sermon
before departing for conference and
people crowd up to the pulpit at the
close and tell him how they have enjoy
ed his preaching and that they are hop
ing that the conference will send him
back without fail. Then when the
preacher gets down to conference he
begins to hear vague hints that he will
probably be moved and finally he finds
that lot of the people who went out
of their way to shake hands with him
and say that they hoped ne would come
back have written to the presiding elder
or bishop advising that a change is
really necessary.
Such a course is certainly calculated
to spread confidence abroad in the
preachers heart-if you don't care
what you say.

the ART Of ouLDlNe A WOMAN.
eccoeDoe eeooeoooosoeccooooe

Madame Baker of the International
Dressmakers' society, has been ably
defending women who resort to pads
to improve their figures. Madame
Baker declares that woman has a per-
feet right to pad when she designs
her gowns, and thus rectify the mis-
takes of nature.
The great trouble with nature is
that she gets sadly behind the times.
When nature nodded Venus de Milo
Venus was pronounced a good lob in
that age and generation. But times
have changed. Wouldn't Venus be a
sight today in a modern womans
garb
Picture, If you can, Venus wearing
No. 10 corset with an armor-plate
straight 'front.'
Fancy Venus with a small bale OF
excelsior concealed on her chest and
couple more bales on her hips.
Imagine her tripping along the
street on top Of a pair of French
heels, with her skirts held snugl,
about her in order to show off her
regal figure.
Wouldn't poor Venus be a hol,
show under such conditions? She
couldn't compare with the figures
rounded out by modern art from bare
skeletons or distorted shapes.
All, Art is a great thing. And no
where else is it so great as in shapfng

consummate skill that poor mar

al knot is tied how much of his loved

Nature is poor artisan when 1,
comes to designing women. OF course
In the first place there was a distress
ing lack of material and the best
had to be made of single rib. That
is why nature still seems so sparine
Of the soft tissues when she shapes
women.
1t is this rigid policy of economy
followed out by nature that has made
the hip pads and the bust developers
indispensable. Necessity is an I'M
answerable argument.

On the night of, December 8, 1908,
she was arranging chairs in her home

erary Club, and was shot dead
through a window. After days Of in
