school but they receive a most prac-

Particular attention is paid. among
other things, to theology, whose intri-

freely. From theology to needlework
is far cry, yet the curriculum Of n
Dutch girls school seems to cover all
the ground between.-London News.

The influence of forests upon climate
was the subject of discussion at the annual
meeting of the German Meteorological So
clety at Berlin. Professor Schubert, OF
Gottingen, gave summary of the results
OF his four years observations at Prussian
forestry stations throughout the extensive
wooded region of the northwestern part OF
Brandenburg. Two observations were
taken daily at numerous points within the
forests, in clearings and other points. The
result was that from the minimum varia.
tons OF temperature and humidity in the
forests and at more remote points il was
concluded that the forests had no appre.
ciable influence upon the rainfall and gen.
eral climate.

FLOUNCED EFFECT LrNGERs

We may be certain Of one thing, and
this is that the 1ounced skirt has by
no means disappeared, or perhaps |
should say the lounced effect. Many
dressmakers are cutting their skirts
in one. easing them round the hips,
letting them come very full to rest
about two inches on the ground. Then
graduated all the way up are bands of

that while remaining faithful to the

charming, but for practical purposes
they are quite useless. Yet the wo-

smart it must have a long skirt.
