PHILOSOPHICAL NOTES.


We have been trying to show the
existence of law on the higher realms
of being than the physical. Our
minds have long been accustomed to
recognize the existence of Law on all
the planes of what we call Nature
but we have never been taught that
u spiritual nature also evolved ac-
cording TO definite Law. We have
heretofore lived in a world in which
we recognized law aud order in the
evolution of the planets, AMI in the
vegetable and the animal kingdoms
but when we come to the human
kingdom we have been satisfied to
think that all was chaos here and
no help for it. 1t is true that every
thinking mind is one huge interrOga
ton point, but, what them He
could get no answer from the inky
blackness of dogma and creed but
believe, fear, obey" This no longer
suits the human attitude towards
the higher Life and any theory

A BLOUSE CHAPTER

The ideal costume for young girls this
season has three prominent characteris-
tics. It Is comfortable, durable and light
In weight.
Owing to the great choice among fabrics
this season, all Of these good points are
perfectly consistent with good style and
charm.
A very effective way Of building serge,
camels hair. cheviot or any soft wooden
fabric consists Of a tucked blouse waist
(having prominent epaulette yoke) and
a f1ve-gored skirt. Collar and chemisette
for such dress are Of lace. Braid ia
used In simple designs to finish Off the
belt, cuffs and yoke.
The school girl Of II, IL or 16 will wear

sister does. Nothing else quite so clean
and comfortable for a school wardrobe has

maculate. for the day Of over-worn

these winter waists. In these several coll

A PROTEST AGAINST PESSIMISM
Foreign Critics Are Told That American Women Stand for Evo
luton That Means the Better Rearing of Few Children
Rather Families Poorly Provided for.

Is gradually working it's way up and up to
Christian civilization. When the test comes, as
it has in the last few years, it Is seen that the
nation becomes an example to the world.
The perpetual cry against the American woman
Is that she declines large family. Perhaps
she had better emulate the example OF the FrenNh
peasant woman, the mortality Of whose children
reaches $4,000 per annum and who know SO
little Of the profession of motherhood that
alarmed officials at last about starting
classes to dissipate their ignorance as to the
proper care of infants. Or perhaps the Ameri-
can should take the Englishwoman for her guide.
Perhaps, then, in the course of time, the streets
of New York might echo, as London streets did
regularly to the tramp Of 5000 OF the unem-
ployed, who cried out for work. Or perhaps
she would be wise to follow the example OF
the immigrant within our borders, who brings
ND her brood of children in the tenements and
sets them in factories at the earliest possible
legal age, it being impossible for the parents to
support them.
To the American it appears more enlightened
and infinitely more humane than one, two or
three children should be carefully reared. and
that the mothers surplus energy and time
should be devoted, as it largely is, to philan-
thropic or educational work outside Of the home,
than that she should attempt the task, tmpos-
sible for one couple (unless endowed with ample
means and exceptional qualities, physical and
menta1), of properly bringing up eight or ten
children. The day of the old-style housewife
has passed; but what foreign critics do not APP
sreciate that the American woman-not the
butterflies but the truly ttve-stands
for evolution; and whether they like it or not,
her example is proving infectious.
